currently found in the Southfield Mine permit means that the Vento Portal reclamation will have <br />a proportional weighting factor of 9.41 percent and the Corley property will have a proportional <br />weighting factor of 10.99 percent. <br />These values apply to the weighting averages of the total plant cover and total perennial <br />herbaceous production. The three corresponding values for total plant cover and total perennial <br />herbaceous production values (Refuse Pile reclamation Corley reclamation and Vento Portal <br />reclamation) will then be added to the Refuse Pile reclamation total plant cover and total <br />perennial herbaceous production values and a final Southfield Mine total plant cover and total <br />perennial herbaceous production values reclamation values will be calculated which will then be <br />compared to the weighted average reference area total plant cover and total perennial herbaceous <br />forage production values. <br />Since there is no woody plant density revegetation success standard for the Corley property, this <br />means that with respect to the final calculated revegetation success woody plant densities the <br />final value for the Southfield Mine will be based upon the acreages associated with the Refuse <br />Pile reclamation, which has been previously reported in the original TR -45 application to contain <br />a total of 46.38 acres and the Vento Portal reclamation contains a total of 10.22 acres, this means <br />that the final calculated woody plant density value for the Southfield Mine area will consist of <br />the woody plant density values obtained from the sampling of the Refuse Pile reclamation <br />multiplied by a factor of 79.8 percent and the woody plant density values for the Vento Portal <br />reclamation will be multiplied by a factor of 20.2 percent. These two values will then be added <br />into the final Southfield Mine woody plant density reclamation value and compared with the <br />revised woody plant density revegetation success standards of 100 stems per acre. <br />16 <br />
