STATE OF COLORADO <br />the proposed future land use. <br />(2) All 110 Limited Impact applications must provide an estimate of the actual costs <br />to reclaim the site based on what it would cost the State of Colorado using an <br />independent contractor to complete reclamation. (Such estimates are not <br />required for activities contemplated by the operator and approved by the Office <br />to be outside the scope of the proposed reclamation plan.) The unit costs should <br />include estimates for the following activities as appropriate to the operation: <br />backfilling, grading, topsoil application, seeding, mulching, fertilization, and <br />labor to complete reclamation. Determine and specify the point during the <br />operation when the site has reached a point of maximum disturbance. The cost <br />to reclaim the site to the specifications of the Reclamation Plan at this point <br />must be estimated. Unit costs (cost per cubic yard), volumes, haul or push <br />distances, and grades must be included when backfilling and grading are part of <br />the Reclamation Plan. Volume and unit costs for finish grading, subsoil and <br />topsoil application must be provided in terms of cost per cubic yard. The <br />estimated cost for fertilizer, seed and mulch acquisition and application must be <br />provided as cost per acre. <br />(a) Equipment costs must include such factors as equipment operator wages and <br />benefits, fuel and lubricant consumption and depreciation. The cost to mobilize <br />and demobilize the equipment from the nearest population center known to <br />have the required equipment availability should be estimated. <br />(b) All items referenced in the Reclamation Plan must be included in the cost <br />calculation. These items in addition to earthwork, such as building demolition, <br />fencing, monitoring well sealing or stream channel reconstruction must also be <br />included in the reclamation cost estimate. <br />(c) . After the direct costs noted above have been estimated, the Office may add up <br />to an additional maximum eighteen and one-half (18.5%) percent of that total, <br />which includes private contract, typical overhead costs. This additional cost is <br />required to cover indirect costs that an independent contractor would incur <br />when performing reclamation of the site. Five (5%) percent additional cost shall <br />be added to cover Office administration cost in the event of bond forfeiture and <br />permit revocation. <br />6.3.5 EXHIBIT E - Map <br />(1) In addition to the requirements of 6.2.1(2), the Operator/Applicant must <br />provide a map that clearly describes the features associated with the mining <br />plan and the components of the Reclamation Plan. Include one map for the <br />mine plan and one map for the Reclamation Plan. The map(s) must be drawn to <br />a scale no smaller than appropriate to clearly show all elements that are <br />required to be delineated by the Act and these Rules; show a north arrow, note <br />any section corners adjacent to the proposed operation, and indicate the date <br />illustrated. At a minimum, maps must include the following information: <br />Page 6 of 10
