Of this 118.25 acres, 13.25 ac. would be roads, 35.0 <br />acres active mining area that would be stripped, partially mined <br />areas, the temporary equipment storage area and Plant site/ stock- <br />pile areas. The remaining 70 acres is partially reclaimed area <br />that has been seeded and bonded for reseeding if necessary. The 35 <br />acre mining area would need resoiling with six inches of topsoil or <br />28,233 cubic yards, spread on the disturbed area. The current plan <br />calls for seeding the area with sorghum initially in early summer <br />and then inter - seeding the same area with the grass seed mix the <br />following fall or early spring. We have included an estimate for <br />seeding the sorghum and a second calculation for seed bed prepara- <br />tion, fertilizing and seeding the area with grass. The grass <br />revegetation cost figure includes fertilizer, grass seed, and <br />drilling costs. The sorghum seeding is for seed and drilling only. <br />Since the mine face is worked near vertical we will have to <br />use a cut /fill method of grading the slope on that area. The <br />working face will be limited to 1,000 liner feet at any one time, <br />the height of the excavation is 8 feet or less, requires moving <br />0.30 yds per linear foot to create the 2:1 slope. We have not <br />included the cost to demolish the concrete foundations of the <br />scale /scale house since that structure will remain for use at the <br />Transload Area when reclamation is complete. There are no concrete <br />structures associated with the processing plant as it will be a <br />portable plant. <br />Two 627C Cat motor scrapers or similar equipment will be used <br />to resoil the area and a 140G Cat motor grader or similar equipment <br />will be used to grade the road. A D6T Cat dozer or similar equip- <br />ment will be used to slope the working face. <br />These figures are then used in the calculations for the bond <br />amount. The tables below outlines the various areas of disturbance <br />at that the time described above. <br />RECLAMATIONACTIVITY <br />ESOIL (ac) <br />EVEGETATE (sorghum) <br />EVEGETATE (grass) <br />OTENTIAL SECONDARY REVEGETATION <br />AINING FACE SLOPING (Lft) <br />LOADS (ac) <br />AREA A <br />35.00 <br />35.00 <br />35.00 <br />70.00 <br />1,000 <br />13.25 <br />11 <br />
