It is necessary to import topsoil to the <br /> isolated portion of the mine site in order to complete reclamation at that location. The topsoil <br /> should be imported to the area prior to completion of the diversion channel in order to take <br /> advantage of existing access. Upon completion of the diversion, access will become very <br /> difficult, resulting in higher transportation costs. <br /> Approximately 7,120 cubic yards of topsoil will be hauled and stockpiled to the east side of the <br /> diversion prior to loss of access. The total cost will be approximately $21,000. This equates to <br /> $2.95 per cubic yard, which is competitive with estimates quoted by other contractors. Sufficient <br /> funds are available to complete this work. <br /> Please contact me at (970) 250-5478 if you have questions regarding this request. <br /> cc: Yvonne Brannon <br /> Jim McArdle <br />
