<br /> <br />Success criteria for Phase III Bond Release are as follows: <br />• Achieve a perennial vegetation average cover of the reclaimed areas that is ≥ 90.0% of the <br />perennial vegetation relative cover of the approved reference area. <br />• Achieve an herbaceous perennial production of the reclaimed areas that is ≥ 90.0% of the <br />perennial vegetation relative production of the approved reference area. <br />• Achieve a woody plant density of 500 stems per acre. <br />• Achieve at least three perennial species that contribute to ≥ 3.0% of the relative cover. At least <br />two of these species must be perennial, cool-season grass taxa. <br />• No reclaimed areas shall exhibit a single species that represents relative cover values of ≥ 60.0%. <br />Success evaluations involve a direct comparison and, where necessary, statistical testing of the ground <br />cover parameter. In the case of ground cover, comparisons are made against reference area data of the <br />same year. <br />CEDAR CREEK ASSOCIATES, Inc.6 Munger Canyon Mine - 2016 <br />Phase III Bond Release Report
