Map did not indicate the owner's information or address. Please provide the names of the owners or
contact information for the following:
a. Power pole and easement owner
b. Sligo Cemetery
c. United States of America
Response: The Pre-Mining Plan Map has been revised to indicate the names and contact information for
the above-mentioned land, structure or easement owners. The Sligo Cemetery appears to be owned by
the US Forest Service, since it is located on their land. No other ownership documents were found.
6.4.4 Exhibit D—Mining Plan
7. The Applicant states in Methods of Mining section, gravel extraction and processing will be seasonal.
Please confirm the applicant intends to operate the site continuously or if the Division should consider
the site an "intermittent operation" as defined in C.R.S 34-32.5-103(11)(b).
Response:A specific reference and definition of"intermittent operation"could not be found in the rule
mentioned. However, the applicant intends that the mine be operated for less than 180 days and that
operation will resume within one year. The Methods of Mining section has been revised to include this
clarification.
8. Please revise the first paragraph of the Method of Mining section of the Mining Plan to reference
"Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety" in place of"Colorado Division of Mining and
Geology"
Response: This reference has been revised.
9. In the Size of Area to be Worked section the Applicant states,the mining area is split into 4 cells. Please
provide the size of each cell and an estimate for the time required for each cell to be mined. Please
update Exhibit C- Mining Map accordingly.
Response: The Size of Area to be Worked section has been updated to provide the size of each cell and
estimated time required for each cell to be mined. Exhibit Cl—Pre-Mining Map and the Mining Map
have also been updated with this information.
10. In the Size of Area to be Worked section the Applicant states, Cell 4 will not be mined until County Road
112 is relocated, however in the Pre- & Post Mining Conditions in the Reclamation Plan the Applicant
states the road will be relocated during reclamation. Please explain this discrepancy and depict the
road relocation on the Reclamation Plan Map.
Response: The Pre-& Post-Mining Conditions section in the Reclamation Plan has been revised to
indicate that County Road 112 will be relocated prior to mining of Cell 4, not during reclamation as
previously stated. The relocation of County Road 112 cannot be described or shown at this time.
11. If the Applicant is unable to depict and describe the relocation of County Road 112 at this time, please
commit to incorporating the road relocation into the reclamation plan by the submittal of the technical
revision, per Rule 1.9, prior to any full reclamation release request being considered by the Division.
Page I2
PATRICK MEMORANDUM
ENGINEERING
Response:Since the relocation of County Road 112 is unable to be described or shown at this time, the
applicant commits to submitting a technical revision to the permit application, prior to completion of
the reclamation phase or request for full reclamation release from the Division.
12. In the Size of Area to the Worked section the Applicant states,the total acreage to be disturbed from
the operation is 77.2 acres, however Exhibit C indicates the total disturbance area is 77.6 acres. Please
explain this discrepancy and correct the error accordingly.
Response: The correct total disturbance area is actually 66.6 acres. The Area to be Worked section, as
well as references on the Map, has been revised with the correct area.
6.4.5 Exhibit E—Reclamation Plan
13. In the Reclamation Methods section,the Applicant states once mined out areas are available to receive
overburden material; the unused soil will be deposited by truck and loaders. As required by Rule
3.1.9(1),where it is necessary to remove overburden in order to mine the construction material, topsoil
shall be removed and segregated from other spoil. Please commit to separating and protecting
overburden and topsoil at the site.
Response: The applicant will segregate all topsoil from the unused overburden material by providing
separate stockpiles, each protected with silt fence at all times. The Reclamation Methods section has
been revised to clarify this required segregation.
14. As required by Rule 6.4.5(1), please state the depth of overburden to be salvaged, where the material
will be stockpiled, and the depth to which overburden will replaced during reclamation.
Response: Section 'a'of the Reclamation Plan has been revised to clarify as much as possible, per Rule
6.4.5(1), the above-mentioned items.
15. As required by Rule 6.4.5(3),topsoil stockpiles shall be stored in places and configurations to minimize
erosion and located in areas where disturbance by ongoing mining operation will be minimized.The
Board may require immediate planting of annual and/or perennial grasses on topsoil stockpiles for the
purpose of stabilization. Please depict on Exhibit C a typical topsoil stockpile location for each mining
cell, commit to seeding all stockpiles, if not replaced within 180 days with a temporary vegetative
cover, and provide the seed list in PLS.
Response: Exhibit C2 Mining Plan Map, has been revised to depict typical topsoil stockpile areas within
each mining cell. The topsoil stockpile area, down near the processing site, is to be used for construction
of the processing site as well as topsoil from the mining of Cell 1. Cell 2's stockpile area is located in Cell
1, to minimize disturbance during mining of Cell 2. Cell 3's stockpile will be located in Cell 2, and Cell 4's
stockpile in Cell 3. Note that berms may be constructed of topsoil and used in site reclamation.
Note#7 on the same map has been revised to reflect mandatory temporary seeding of stockpiles if not
replaced within 180 days. The seed list has been provided on the map as well.
16. In the Compliance with Rule 3.1 section, the Applicant states each mined area will be completely
reclaimed within 5 years of commencement of the mined area. Please note Rule 3.1.3 states each
phase of reclamation shall be completed within five years of the commencement of reclamation, not
from the commencement of mining.
Page l3
PATRICK MEMORANDUM
ENGINEERING
Response: Noted. The statement has been revised and corrected to reflect that reclamation of each
mined area shall be completed within 5 years of the commencement of the reclamation phase.
17. The Applicant proposes to replace a minimum of 4 inches of topsoil on the reclaimed areas.The soils
information provided states topsoil depths ranges from 0 to 1 foot.The Applicant should replace
topsoil to a depth that at least meets the existing topsoil depth. Please commit to replacing topsoil to a
minimum depth of 6 inches over the reclaimed areas or justify the proposed replacement depth of 4"
minimum.
Response: Section d)has been revised to reflect that topsoil will be replaced to the existing average
depth on the site, or a depth of 6 inches, whichever is less.
18. The Applicant did not provide a weed control plan for the site. Please submit a weed control and
management plan in accordance with Rule 3.1.10(6).This plan should be developed in consultation
with the county extension agency, or weed control district office and should include specific control
measures to be applied, a schedule for when control measures will be implemented and a post-
treatment monitoring plan.
Response: A weed control plan has been outlined at the end of the revised Exhibit E Reclamation Plan.
6.4.12 Exhibit L—Reclamation Costs
19. As required by Rule 6.4.12(1), please provide all information necessary to calculate the costs of
reclamation, not only the costs for seeding and mulching, and state the anticipated maximum acreage
disturbance at one time.The information must be broken down into the various major phases of
reclamation.The information must be sufficient to calculate the cost of reclamation that would be
incurred by the state.
The Division will estimate the cost to reclaim the site based on the information submitted once the
applicant addresses the concerns noted in this letter.
Response: Exhibit L has been revised to include the earthwork required to bring the site to final
reclamation.

RE: Notice of 112 Construction Materials Reclamation Permit Application
Pawnee Aggregate Pit, File No. M-2012-014(CHS#61991)
Dated May 17, 2012 from Edward C. Nichols, State Historic Preservation Officer
Review Comments:
• A search of our Cultural Resource Inventory database indicated that while no cultural resource survey
has taken place within the proposed permit area, one archaeological site was recorded ca. 1950 by the
University of Colorado within the southern half of Section 30,Township 10N, Range 60W. Except for the
approximate location of this resource(site 5WL21)within the permit area, no additional information
such as resource type or eligibility to the National Register of Historic Places(NRHP)is on file with our
office.The fact that this site was recorded over 60 years ago makes it very likely that it would be eligible
for the NRHP,as only very significant sites were recorded at that time.Additional cultural resources
survey would be necessary to adequately identify, record, and asses this property for eligibility to the
NRHP. Moreover,our files contain incomplete information for this area,as most of Colorado has no yet
been inventoried for cultural resource.As a result,there is the possibility that as yet unidentified cultural
resources exist within the proposed permit area.
• Should human remains be discovered during mining activities,the requirements under State law CRS 23-
80 part 13 apply and must be followed.
Response: Cultural Resource findings have been noted. Should human remains be discovered
during mining activities, the requirements under State law CRS 24-80 part 13 shall be adhered to.

RE: Notice of 112 Construction Materials Reclamation Permit Application
Pawnee Aggregate Pit, File No. M-2012-014
Dated May 14,2012 from Timothy T. Carey, Chief, Denver Regulatory Office
Review Comments:
• If any work associated with the above-reference project requires the discharge of dredged or fill material,
and any excavation associated with a dredged or fill project, either temporary or permanent in an aquatic
site,which may include ephemeral and perennial streams,wetlands, lakes, ponds,drainage ditches and
irrigation ditches,this office should be notified by a proponent of the project for the Department of the
Army permits, changes in permit requirements or jurisdictional determinations pursuant to Section 404 of
the Clean Water Act.
• Work in an aquatic site should be identified by the proponent of the project and be shown on a map
identifying the Quarter Section,Township, Range and County or Latitude and Longitude, Decimal Degrees
(datum NAD 83)and the dimensions of work in each aquatic site.Any loss of an aquatic site may require
mitigation. Mitigation requirements will be determined during the Department of the Army permitting
review.
Response: There are no known aquatic sites, as mentioned above, on or in the vicinity of the
proposed mining area. If any such sites are discovered during mining activities that may be
disturbed by dredge or fill, they will be identified on a map, as specified above, and submitted to the
Department of the Army for permitting review.

EXHIBIT D
Mining Plan
a) Method of Mining
It is the applicant's intent to commence sand and gravel excavation, processing (rock crushing and
screening), and stockpiling at the Pawnee Aggregate Pit upon receipt of approval from the Colorado
Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety as well as other necessary permits.Gravel extraction and
processing will be seasonal, as the mine will be operating for less than 180 days of the year and operations
will resume within one year. Stockpiling of gravel for future use shall be dependent on County,
Government, and Oil and Gas industry needs. The estimated excavation and stockpiling volumes is
approximately 100,000 tons per year. The Pawnee Aggregate site is expected to have 7 years of gravel
and sand reserves.
The Pawnee Aggregate Mine will be a standard truck and loader operation.The main operating unit will
consist of a crusher and screening unit and a conveyor staking unit which will place the screened material
into product type stockpiles.
Access from the site shall be from an existing drive within the County's prescriptive right-of-way for WCR
99. The proposed access road for the site will be 30 feet wide and the internal haul road will be 24 feet
wide. These widths will be adequate for the level of anticipated truck traffic associated with the pit.
As material is sold from the operation a truck scale will be used to record and bill the material sales.
b) Earth Moving
Overburden will be removed by dozer and truck and loader operation.Topsoil will be stripped and
stockpiled separately for replacement at the time of reclamation.To remove overburden, the dozer will
initially rip the material and either doze the material into a spoil lift or into a stockpile for the truck and
loader operation. No explosives are anticipated to be used.
The gravel zone,which ranges from 9 to 11 feet in thickness,will be mined with the truck and loader units.
The trucks will transport the material to the crusher/screening area for product sizing specifications.
Stackers will place the material into selected stockpiles.
c) Water Diversions and Impoundments
Rain and snow melt are expected to be quickly absorbed into the zones. In areas where sheet flow can be
expected, swales and berms will be designed and constructed to transport the flows into the natural
drainage areas. A water quality pond or similar feature will be used to handle the first flush flows prior to
release in the natural drainage areas.
1
There are no irrigation structure or surface water impoundments existing or planned at the site. Water
requirements for the gravel mining and processing operations are expected to be minimal. Water
requirements for dust control will be obtained and hauled from the landowner's industrial permitted
water wells. Water utilized for mining and crushing operations as well as for dust control is estimated to
not exceed approximately 6000 gallons per month during operations.
d) Size of Area to be Worked
The Mining Plan (Exhibit C2) shows the proposed location of affected areas due to mining, transport,
processing and soil stockpiling. The proposed mining areas are split into 4 Cells, further described below,
showing the progression of mining activities,with Cell 4 not to be worked until County Road 112 is
relocated.
In order to produce 100,000 annual tons of material within specifications, approximately 140,000 tons of
the gravel zone must be mined out.The gravel occurs in a zone roughly 10 feet thick that is covered with
up to 10 feet of loess and topsoil.The gravel zone occurs on top of a hard sandstone layer which forms a
hard surface that limits deeper excavation.This hard sandstone layer is located at approximately elevation
5,235 feet above sea level,which is the proposed limits of mining, as shown on Exhibits Cl and C2.
The total acreage to be disturbed from the operation is 66.6 acres,which includes mining extraction areas
as well as construction of the processing site. The size of the areas(Cells)to be worked at any given time
ranges from 5 to 19 acres,though final reclamation wilt occur only at the completion of all mining activity.
The areas of each mining cell, as listed below, reflect the area to be "mined" and do include other
disturbances such as fill or construction of the processing area.
Cell 1:
Size: 10.9 acres
Anticipated Mining duration: 2 years
Cell 2:
Size: 19.5 acres
Anticipated Mining duration: 2 years
Cell 3:
Size: 18.1 acres
Anticipated Mining duration: 2 years
Cell 4:
Size: 5.2 acres
Anticipated Mining duration: 1 year
2
e) Timetable
The various stages of the operation are as follows, and are described in further detail below:
1. Pre-development
2. Development
3. Operations
4. Reclamation
1. Pre-development
Pre-development activities include securing all necessary permits and completing exploration of
the deposit to determine the true quantity and quality of the gravel reserve.
Weld County regulations will require a site specific Development Review Plan and Use by Special
Review Permit for a Mineral Resource Development Facility, including Open Pit Gravel Mining in
the A (Agricultural)Zone District for the following described real estate being parcel.
In addition to the Weld County Permits and Approvals, a State of Colorado Reclamation Permit will
be required for the extraction of Construction Materials from the Colorado Mined Land
Reclamation Board.
2. Development
Development activities will include pre-stripping of the gravel zone, processing site construction
and establishment of crushed and screened material stockpiles.
Pre-stripping activities will provide material for construction of a 30 foot wide access road from
Weld County Road 99 into the processing area as well as a 24 foot wide, 5%grade haul road from
the processing area into the mining zone.The processing area will contain a crusher, screening
and staking machine or machines, a truck scale and an office trailer for a site attendant. A 3 wire
barb wire fence will be erected for cattle and wild life protection.
A water quality feature and diversion swales and berms will also be established.
3. Operations
Operations consist of normal stripping and mining of the gravel deposit and reclamation of the
spoil overburden that has been placed in the final deposit zone.
Normally, the seasonal stripping and mining operation would be scheduled for approximately
three summer months.The actual schedule would be dictated by material sales. For the purpose
of this discussion, 100,000 tons of within-specification material sales shall be used to dictate
duration of operations throughout the summer months.
3
The approximately three month long mining operations would consist of dozer operations plus
truck loader transport of spoils to spoil stockpiles and gravel to the processing area for screening
and crushing. No high wall mining will be used. Cut slopes will normally be 21/2 horizontal to 1
vertical. Spoil slopes will be no steeper than 3 horizontal to 1 vertical.The processed material
would be stockpiled by stacking conveyors to select stockpiles.A water truck would be used for
dust control.
It is anticipated that the 3 months of operations would develop stockpiled material that would be
sufficient for ongoing sales throughout the off mining months.
4. Reclamation
Reclamation activities would continue normally after the mining months into the late fall. No
operations other than sales would occur during the winter months.
f) Deposit
The gravel pay zone occurs in a calcareous gravelly alluvium and is generally 9 to 11 feet in thickness.The
overburden consists of silty sandy loess that varies in thickness over the area.The gravel beds lie on top of
a weathered sandstone formation. It is estimated that approximately 800,000 to 1,000,000 tons of
recoverable gravel occur in the area of consideration.
g) No other primary or secondary commodities are to be mined or extracted.
h) No incidental products are to be mined/extracted by the proposed operation.
i) No explosives are anticipated to be used in the operation.

EXHIBIT E
Reclamation Plan
a) Reclamation Methods
The general mining reclamation plan consists of a backfill operation that moves stockpiled
overburden and waste material (material resulting from aggregate processing) back into the mined
out areas to be used for final reclamation. During mining operations, approximately 0 to 10 feet of
overburden, consisting of approximately 0 to 1 feet of topsoil and then loess below the surface, will
be stockpiled throughout the site.After all mining has ceased (or more often as cells are completed),
these overburden stockpiles will be excavated and relocated to provide a natural-looking landform
that provides drainage consistent with the pre-mining condition. The final elevations will depend on
the actual quantity of materials available on the site. No importing of materials is anticipated.
Separately stockpiled topsoil will be spread over the graded surface and then seeded with native
grasses and mulched with straw.The staging process,final condition and seeding requirements are
outlined on Exhibit F- Reclamation Plan Map.
Mining Areas:
Once mined out areas are available to receive overburden material,the available soil will be moved
to the final location. The final grades will not be steeper than 3 horizontal to 1 vertical. The
concept grading plan is shown on Exhibit F. The reclamation of cells may be performed as work
progresses.
Stockpiling activities will be ongoing by depositing waste material and topsoil (in separate
stockpiles) into mined out areas, as necessary and as the areas become available. Please refer to
Exhibit C2 Mining Plan Map,for possible overburden stockpile locations in each Mining Area. Final
reclamation will continue by grading and shaping the overburden piles into gently rolling
topography, spreading topsoil, and reseeding the reclaimed areas. Please refer to Exhibit F
Reclamation Plan Map for final reclamation grading.
At the end of the mining operation, it is anticipated that reclamation activities will continue for 1
year after the mine closure to move stockpiles, spread topsoil and seed.
Processing Site & Haul Roads:
At the end of mining operations, reclamation will also occur for the haul road and processing site.
The haul road and any stockpile areas will be graded to the pre-mining condition, or as shown on
Exhibit F, and seeded. Road materials may be reused as general fill in reclamation. Any buildings or
machinery on the processing site will be removed;the area spread with topsoil and seeded.The site
grades is the processing district will be consistent with the pre-mining condition.The gravel surfaced
access road is to remain.
1
b) Pre-&Post Mining Conditions
The present land use is ranching and upon final reclamation the post mining use will revert back to
ranching.The final reclamation slopes (with the exception of possible 3H:1V slopes at the setback
line) and most of the grading areas will be of gentler slopes than originally present.As such, the area
will provide an improved ranching environment.
Prior to mining of Cell 4, County Road 112, which does not follow the road right-of-way in this area,
will be relocated, as coordinated and approved by Weld County.
c) Compliance with Rule 3.1 Reclamation Performance Standards:
3.1.1 Establishing Post—Mining Use:
1. Applicant is Landowner
2.Area is used as ranching land and will be returned to ranching land.
3.1.2 Reclaiming Substituted Land:
No substituted land is involved.
3.1.3 Time Limit and Phased Reclamation:
Each mined area (Cell) will be completely reclaimed within 5 years of commencement of
the reclamation phase of the mined area (Cell).
3.1.4 Public Use:
No public Use is allowed. Lands are private at present and will continue to be private.
3.1.5 Reclamation Measures—Material Handling:
1. Final reclaimed topography will be appropriate for final land use.
2. All backfilling will consist of existing formations. No acid-forming or toxic materials
are known.
3.All erosion will be controlled and no high walls will remain.
4. Backfilling and grading will be ongoing as areas are mined out and room for backfilling
becomes available.
5. No refuse or acid-forming or toxic-producing materials are known.
6. No drill or auger holes are anticipated.
7. Spoil slopes shall not exceed 3H to 1V.
2
8.All areas will be graded to allow it to be traversed by farm machinery.
9. Only native on-site materials will be used.
10. No pollutants will be released. Oils and lubricants will be confined and contained.
11. No groundwater contamination will occur.
d) Reclamation Implementation
Topsoil Preservation,Storage & Replacement:
Topsoil ranges from 0 to 1 foot throughout the area. All topsoil will be stripped prior to mining
in any cell. Topsoil will be segregated in stockpiles or used to construct perimeter berms.
Concept locations are shown on Exhibit C2.As areas are reclaimed and graded to final condition
(as shown on Exhibit F); topsoil from the stockpiled areas will be placed on the graded reclaimed
area to the average depth present pre-mining or 6 inches, whichever is less. Care will be used to
prevent excessive compaction of the topsoil zone.
Seeding:
Final seeding will occur in the topsoil zones. Seeding of the regraded and topsoil covered
reclamation areas shall occur between December 15t and May 1st. If the site must be seeded
outside of this date range, a long-season grain such as wheat or oats shall be planted to aid in
stabilization until the reclamation seed mix (shown below) can be sowed. The area will be
seeded as follows:
Reclamation Seed Mix:
Buffalo Grass (Texoka, Sharps Improved) 3.Olbs./acre
Little Bluestem 2.51bs./acre
Sideoats Grama (Vaughn, Butte, Niner, El Reno, Haskell) 2.0 lbs./acre
Blue Grama (Hachital, Lovington) 3.0lbs./acre
Sand Dropseed 0.slbs./acre
Switchgrass 2.Olbs./acre
Western Wheatgrass (Arriba, Barton, Rasana) 1.Olbs./acre
Total: 14 lbs pls/acre
**Other addition: Mycorrhiza to coast the seed at time of planting.
Mulching:
After the disturbed areas are reseeded, certified weed free straw mulch will be crimped in at a
rate 2 tons/acre. 70%of the straw must be strands of 10 inches or more.

Irrigation:
The Reclamation Seed Mix is not required to be watered as irrigation may end up harming the
development and germination of the grasses. No watering is planned for the reclaimed areas.
Reclamation seeding may take up to 3 to 5 years to fully stabilize. Silt fence and erosion control
measures shall remain in place until a healthy stand of vegetation has been established.
e) Weed control:
The area will be seeded during the winter.This time frame is between December 1 and May 1; with a
tentative target date in February/March.The grass seed will be drill seeded and crimped in straw will be
added to slow the erosion from wind and moisture.
The first year that the grass is seeded, mowing will be used periodically throughout the summer to
suppress the invasive weeds.This will limit the growth of the weeds as well as give the grass the best
chance to establish with limited competition.Three to five mowing treatments maybe required
depending on the amount of moisture that falls.
At the beginning of the second year after seeding occurred, the establishment of the grasses will be
evaluated. If the grasses are well established and showing good growth, herbicide treatments will be
used to further suppress the invasive weeds while the grass is still growing.These treatments will take
place in late April and mid-June, depending on the rainfall situation and the size of the weed
infestations.These treatments will be made with a product that contains 2,4-D, Dicamba and Fluroxypyr
such as E2.These products are fairly safe on the grasses and very effective on the weed species, except
for cheatgrass.
If the grass seedlings are still struggling, several mowing operations will be implemented as in the first
year.
If at year three the grasses are well established,the chemical treatments can be used again.The weed
competition should be lessoning so that chemical treatments can be phased out.
If at year three the grasses are still struggling and not well established, it would warrant a second drill
seeding into the vegetation that is there.This would dictate that mowing is the only option for
suppression of the weeds while the grasses are trying to establish.
If at the start of year three there are no grasses to speak of and only weeds alive on the site. A
treatment of a Glyphosate product may be warranted to kill what is growing before the grasses are
planted.This will give the grass seedlings a chance to establish without major competition.
If cheatgrass is a problem on the site, once the grasses are established, at the end of year three a
chemical treatment of Imazapic (Plateau or Panoramic 25L) will be used in October/November just prior
4
to or right at germination of the cheatgrass.This application will be very effective controlling the
cheatgrass and be safe on the established grasses.

Water Information
(1) The Pawnee Aggregate site does not lie within any FEMA—designated floodplains or floodways.
Ground water is neither present nor expected in the mine zones; therefore dewatering would
not be anticipated. The site will be a dry pit and the operation is not expected to directly affect
surface or groundwater systems. There are no existing or planned surface water impoundments
at the Pawnee Aggregate Site.
(2) Operation is not expected to directly affect surface or groundwater systems.
(3) Water needs for the gravel mining and processing operations are expected to be minimal. The
Landowner owns substantial water rights under and adjacent to the proposed mine area. The
Operator shall be allowed to use such industrial permitted water for dust control via water
trucks. The approved well permits have been included on the following page.
(4) Water needs for the operation are expected to be minimal.
(5) The Operator will apply for a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit
from the Water Quality Control Division at the Colorado Department of Health. The Operator
will supply the Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety a copy of the permit once completed.

EXHIBIT L
Reclamation Costs
Refer to the attached Exhibit F—Reclamation Plan Map showing the generalized final grades for all
disturbed areas. No ponds will be constructed for mining operations and no ponded areas are proposed
for final grades.
The opinion of reclamation cost (cost estimate) provided below was based on the following:
1. Assumes mine reclamation will be performed/costs incurred by the State in the unlikely event
the applicant cannot perform the reclamation.
2. The maximum disturbed area requiring reclamation will be when Cell 3 is prepared and mining
Cell 3 has just started. The Mining Plan proposes to reclaim individual cells as the next cell is
prepared and mined. Under this scenario, Cell 1 will have been reclaimed and Cell 2 will be
partially reclaimed. Overburden from Cell 3 will be used to partially reclaim Cell 2 with the
remainder stockpiled in a portion of Cell 2 or Cell 3. For the purpose of this estimate it is
assumed one-half(1/2) of Cell 2 will require earthwork reclamation and the entire Cell 2 will
require seeding and maintenance. The processing, storage, and loading area (processing district)
and access roads will be in operation and will need to be reclaimed.The aggregate for these
roads will be used for general fill once reclaimed.
3. The overburden and topsoil available for reclamation is estimated to be:
a. Total overburden: (0.5*Cell 2 +Cell 3) x 2 foot average overburden thickness
= (0.5*19.5 acres+ 19.2 acres) x 2.0 feet
= (28.95 acres x 43560 feet) x 2.0 feet/27
= 93,412 cubic yards
b. Of this overburden, 6" is assumed to be topsoil therefore,
Total Topsoil: (0.5*Cell 2 +Cell 3)x 0.5 foot
= (0.5*19.5 acres+ 19.2 acres) x 0.5 feet
= (28.95 acres x 43560 feet) x 0.5 feet/27
= 23,353 cubic yards
c. Remaining overburden:Total Overburden—Total Topsoil
= 93,412 cubic yards—23,353 cubic yards
= 70,059 cubic yards
4. Total disturbed area includes the above area plus the processing district and internal roads:
a. Total process district and internal roads: 3.2 Acres x 1 foot thick aggregate road
= 3.2 Acres x 43560 feet x 1.0 feet/27
= 5,163 cubic yards
b. Total volume to be placed/shaped:Total Overburden +Total Process District and
Internal Roads
= 93,412 cubic yards+5,163 cubic yards
= 98,575 cubic yards
Cost Estimates:
1. Overburden Placement Cells 2 and 3:
a. Remaining Overburden to be placed: 70,059 cubic yards
70,059 cubic yards x$1.75/CY for placement= $122,603
2. Processing District Reclamation including road removal, stormwater quality pond reclamation,
and gravel surface removal (general fill placed in cell 2/3)
a. Total process district and internal road aggregate to be moved: 5,163 cubic yards
5,163 cubic yards x$2.00/CY for placement= $10,326
b. Restore water quality area and erosion control berm:
1 day with Dozer=$1,000
3. Topsoil Placement:
a. Topsoil to be spread over the total disturbed area: 31,218 cubic yards
23,353 cubic yards x$2.00/CY for respread =$46,706
4. Seeding and Mulching:
a. All disturbed areas to be reseeded: (All of Cell 2 +Cell 3 + Roads+ Processing District)
= (19.5 Acres+ 19.2 Acres+ 3.2 Acres+ 2.8 Acres)
=44.7 Acres x 43,560 square feet
=1,947,132 square feet
b. Seeding& Mulching costs include Reclamation Seed Mix, Certified Weed-free Straw
mulch and labor required to 'install'. Per the County Vegetation Specialist, irrigation is
not required and therefore no watering costs are included.
Reclamation Seed Mix: $200/acre * 44.7 acres=$8,940
Certified Weed-free Straw Mulch: $220/acre * 44.7 acres=$9,834
Seed application: $100/acre * 44.7 acres= $4,470
Mulch application: $75/acre * 44.7 acres= $3,352
Total Seed &Mulch: $26,596
c. Maintenance: Assume maintenance will continue for 3 years with maintenance
consisting of occasional mowing (2 times per year) with herbicide treatment.Assume
$10,000 per year for total cost of$30,000.
5. Total Cost of Reclamation=$122,603+$10,326+$1,000+$46,706+$26,596+$30,000
=$237,231
