rMs. Candace Thompson <br /> November 26 , 1986 <br /> Page - 3 <br /> Revegetation Cost - 1.5 ac. x $1, 375 = $2 ,062 <br /> Demolition of new lampho.use building: This 170 ' x 40 ' <br /> building consists of an 8" concrete pad with 8" cinderblock <br /> walls and a wooden frame with metal cover roof. <br /> Total volume of material to be pushed with a dozer <br /> and deposited up against the rock tunnel highwall is 8 ,000 <br /> cu. ft. or 300 cu. yds. A D-8 dozer can accomplish this task <br /> in 3 hours at a cost of $354 . <br /> Total estimated reclamation cost for the . 9 acre <br /> pad expansion is $9, 056 . <br /> Next we will address each of the MLRD comments in <br /> your October 9, 1986 letter in the order they appear in the <br /> letter. <br /> Glory Hole Bin Demolition. <br /> As was pointed out in our June 30th calculations , <br /> these bins weren' t built and therefore would not require <br /> demolition. To set the record straight, we have sent a <br /> letter to MLRD requesting that the permit application for the <br /> glory hole coal storage bins be withdrawn from further <br /> consideration at this time. if they are to be built in the <br /> future, a permit request will be re-submitted. <br /> Conveyor Demolition. <br /> We don' t understand the MLRD reasoning on this item. <br /> You seem to have taken some inflated costs we calculated for <br /> the steep conveyor systems at the mine portals and arrived at a <br /> Mid-Continent cost of $10. 41 per linear foot. We allowed this <br /> because those sections would be unusually difficult to demolish <br /> and dispose of. Those figures should not apply to the <br /> relatively level and accessable sections from the rock tunnel <br /> to the preparation plant, around the preparation plant and to <br /> the Sutey refuse pile. Your letter refers to Schmueser' s <br /> calculations coming to $14 . 14 per foot. Reviewing Schmueser' s <br /> calculations (July, 1984) he came up with a total cost for <br /> the 5, 825 feet of conveyor system from the rock tunnel to <br /> preparation plant to be $20, 307 . That figures to be $3 . 49 <br /> per foot - not $14 . 14 . Jim Herron then revised Schmueser' s <br /> figures and came up with a total cost of $28 , 300 for 5 ,825 <br /> feet of conveyor system for a per foot cost of $4 . 86 . Also, <br /> if you compute the cost of demolishing the same conveyor system <br /> utilizing a B-8 demolition crew it works out as follows: <br />
