2.05.4(2)(b) <br />Seed and Mulch 80 Acres <br />It is presented above that the topsoil stockpiles <br />will cover a total of 49.5 acres. It is also likely that at any <br />given time 30 to 40 acres have been topsoiled but not seeded and <br />mulched. For a worst case basis assume 80 acres will need to be <br />seeded and mulched. <br />Seeding Rate Seeding Rate <br />#/Acre #/Acre <br />Indian ricegrass 2.50 Utah Sweetvetch 1.00 <br />Blue grama 0.60 Blue Flax 0.40 <br />*Needleandthread 1.50 Fourwing Saltbush 0.50 <br />Galleta 2.40 Winterfat 0.50 <br />Sand Dropseed 0.05 <br /> Totals 9.45 <br />Seed Cost per Acre 189.00 <br />per Mike, Arkansas Valley Seed <br />Seed and Fertilizer Application 15.00 <br />• Fertilizer $7.00 per 50 pounds, 285 #/acre 39.90 <br />Mulch 2 tons per acre @ $60 120.00 <br />Mulch Application, power mulch 150.00 <br />Total Seed and Mulch Cost per Acre 513.90 <br />USE $525/Acre <br />Fence <br />It is assumed that the fence around the reclaimed <br />area is fairly well caught up with the progression of the mine. <br />One mile of fence would allow a catch up of 1/4 mile on each side <br />of the pit in the north south direction and allow the area to be <br />closed in across the property, about 1/2 mile, in the east west <br />direction. Assume one mile of three strand barbed wire fence per <br />mining area at $1.50 per foot. <br />Following is an estimate of the cost to reclaim the <br />mine at the time, during the five year permit term, when it is <br />believed the reclamation liability is the greatest. <br />• 2.05-19 May 1992 <br />
