WPD secondary standard 1 (Standard S1). Sample adequacy based on woody plant density was <br /> achieved in the Fenced Upland "Concentration" area of the BRB-2. The mean density (3,893.1 <br /> stems per acre) exceeded the performance standard of 851 stems per acre, which is 90% of the <br /> secondary performance standard 1 (CDMG 2005 revised rule, 4.15.11 (2)(a)). Thus, revegetation <br /> success for WPD Secondary standard 1 has been met for 2016. <br /> WPD secondary standard 3 (Standard S3). Sample adequacy based on woody plant density was <br /> not achieved in the Fenced Aspen "Concentration" area of the BRB-2 and normality could not be <br /> demonstrated in 2016. Reclamation success for WPD secondary standard 3 is demonstrated by <br /> passing a non-parametric rank order"L" test(CDMG 2005 revised rule, 4.15.11 (3)(a)). <br /> i <br /> L = p(n + 1) —Z[np(1 — p)]z <br /> i <br /> L = 0.5(35 + 1) — 0.842[35 * 0.5(1 — 0.5)]7 = 15.509 <br /> Lower 80% confidence limit=rank value 15 + 0.509*(rank value 16 —rank value 15) <br /> Lower 80% confidence limit= 2,509.1 + 0.509*(2,509.1-2,509.1) =2,509.1 <br /> The lower 80% confidence limit(2,509.1) is greater than 70% of the secondary standard 3 (662). <br /> Hence the WPD Secondary standard 3 has been met for 2016. <br /> Successful revegetation for the parameter of background woody plant density was demonstrated <br /> in both 2015 and 2016. Successful revegetation of fenced woody plant concentration areas <br /> (Standard SI) was demonstrated 2015 and 2016 Successful revegetation of unfenced woody <br /> plant concentration areas (Standard P2) was demonstrated in planted area sampling in 2015 <br /> and 2016 Successful revegetation for the parameter of aspen woody plant establishment was <br /> demonstrated in both 2015 and 2016. <br /> SPECIES DIVERSITY <br /> Successful revegetation for species diversity is evaluated through a series of tests, one of which is <br /> a mandatory test and three are alternative tests. At least two of the alternative tests must be met. <br /> SL-7 - 22 <br />
