4.4 Woody Plant Density <br />According to permit section 4.15.8, the woody plant density success criterion for this Phase III block <br />is 150 live stems per acre on approximately 3% (or more) of the reclaimed surface. Tables 4 and 5 <br />(above) and Charts 8 and 9 display the results from the woody plant populations enumerated in 2013 and <br />2014 on Phase III bond release areas. Shrub density on it patches (based on 75 woody plant density <br />belts) within the Phase III area has been determined to be an average of 1,265.33 stems per acre in <br />2013, and 1,475.76 stems per acre in 2014. The acreage of these shrub patches is 25.51% (51.64 acres) <br />of the total acreage assessed for this Phase III block (202.4 acres). The shrub patches in the East / West <br />Pit Phase III area exceed the woody plant density success standards for both 2013 and 2014. <br />July 2015 Page 28 <br />Chart 9 <br />Phase III - Woody Plant Area Success - 2013 & 2014 <br />30.0% <br />25.51% 25.51% <br />2S.0% <br />d 20.0% <br />u <br />Q <br />d <br />c 35.0% <br />° <br />a <br />= Standard <br />of Bond Release Bkxk 3% <br />V 10.0% <br />°o <br />3 <br />5.0% <br />. ... <br />....................................... ............ <br />0.0% <br />2013 2014 <br />East / West Pit <br />July 2015 Page 28 <br />
