species is unnecessary. All production samples will be oven dried at 110 degrees Fahrenheit to a <br />constant weight. Sample adequacy calculations will be based on total herbaceous production. <br />Comparisons between reclaimed and reference areas will be based on total non - noxious, perennial <br />herbaceous production. Noxious weed and annual species production will not be included in the <br />comparison. <br />Sample Adequacy and Statistical Evaluations: <br />For each parameter, a statistically adequate number of samples will be collected in determining <br />reclamation success. Statistical methods and formulas will be consistent with those outlined in the <br />Division's latest version of the Bond Release Guidelines. Statistical tests will comply with <br />requirements set out in Rule 4.15.7(2)(c). Prior to sampling, the operator will meet with the Division <br />to discuss sampling and statistical analysis procedures. <br />Time of Sampling <br />Vegetation cover and production data will be collected in July and density work conducted during <br />August. <br />Grazing <br />Should grazing occur to the extent that revegetation success standards can not be met, then the <br />operator will fence the affected areas. <br />PR04 H-9 Revised May 2001 <br />
