as the premine inventory. Cover data will be collected using a point frame placed in an unbiased
manner. Overall, postmine data collection methods will be similar to premine data collection
methods. Relative cover values (composition) will be determined for each species in the sampled
portion of the reclaimed area.
A similar analysis of Harrier's January, 1985 Danforth Project data for the baseline evaluation of
the South Taylor Area (PR -02) yields a similar level of herbaceous diversity: an average of 3
perennial grasses and 1 perennial forb for the three sampled communities with relative cover values
between 3% and 50%. These values are readily observable on the summary table below that lists
those taxa that exceed 3% relative cover from each of the study's three vegetation communities.

Given the aforementioned, the revegetation objective for diversity will be to establish a community
on the reclaimed areas that contain the following;
For areas targeting the livestock grazing subcomponent of the Rangeland Land Use (Pre -2008
reclamation):
a) At least two cool season perennial grasses with between 3% and 50% relative cover
(composition).
