Comparison of MCR/Pitkin Iron Costs to Reclaim Mine #5 and DMG's Costs to Reclaim Mines #3 and #4 17. In order to demonstrate the validity of the Pitkin Iron charges, it is helpful to make a comparison between the MCR/Pitkin Iron costs of reclaiming Mine #5 to the costs incurred by the Division for Mines #3 and #4. All of these mines portal areas are less than 10 acres in size; are located at elevations of approximately 10,000 feet and all areas were constructed in a similar manner: a large dozer was used to create a vertical face from the coal seam outcrop and a flat area for necessary portal facilities. All excavated material was downspoiled on adjacent steep slopes. The reclamation of all three areas involved a partial backfilling of the highwall, using all reasonably available fill on the site. Most of the downspoiled material was not deemed reasonably available by both MCR or the DMG, although at one time, OSM actually thought that complete backfilling was feasible and should be accomplished. 18. Although each area was similar in many respects, there were also distinct differences. The table below describes these differences: Item Mine #3 Mine #4 Mine #5 Comments Removal of Minor Minor Major At Mine #5, work involved power poles, Debris wood materials, junk, scrap 7
