Table 1 provides a summary of the sample cover attributes for the Phase III bond release block <br />and the four native types in the extended reference areas for years 2012 and 2014. Table 1 also <br />includes the calculated allowable first hit herbaceous cover values for these communities. <br />Table 1. 2012 and 2014 Vegetation Cover Sampling Data Summary for the Yoast BRB-1 <br />Phase III Bond Release and Reference Areas (RA). <br />' Reference Area Types (RA): A = aspen, MB = mountain brush, SB = sagebrush, SMB = steep <br />mountain brush, WW/AS = western wheatgrass/alkali sagebrush <br />2 Upward adjusted Mountain Brush value for 2012 and 2014 success evaluations only.
