RULE 4 PERFORMANCE STANDARDS <br /> b) All forbs combined with between 1% and 50% relative cover(composition). <br /> For areas targeting the livestock grazing subcomponent of the Rangeland Land Use (Post-2008 <br /> reclamation): <br /> a) At least three native* cool season perennial grasses with between 3% and 50% relative <br /> cover(composition), and <br /> b) At least one perennial forb or shrub with between 2% and 50% relative cover <br /> (composition), or <br /> c) A total of all forbs or all shrubs combined with between 4% and 50% relative cover <br /> (composition), or <br /> d) If five or more native* cool season perennial grass taxa contribute between 3% and 50% <br /> composition,the requirement for perennial forbs and shrubs shall be limited to 1%or more <br /> relative cover combined. <br /> For areas targeting the wildlife habitat subcomponent of the Rangeland Land Use (Post-2008 <br /> reclamation). <br /> At least four native* perennial species,each more than 3%composition,minimum of two of which <br /> are grasses and a minimum of one which is a forb, with the following caveat; <br /> If no single forb species exceeds 3% composition, the forb requirement can be met if: <br /> a) at least two native* perennial forbs combined comprise at least 2% composition, or; <br /> b) at least four native* perennial forbs combined comprise at least 1% composition. <br /> The dominant species will contribute to the appropriate structure and stability of the postmining <br /> vegetative community to insure that the postmining land use as addressed in Section 4.16, Post- <br /> mining Land Use, will be sustained. <br /> The seed mixture in Section 2.05 on Table 7, Reclamation Seed Mixture,or MR-59 dated 9/10/02) <br /> or other approved seed mixtures contains the desired species to achieve the goal of species <br /> diversity in the postmining area. These mixtures contain grasses, forbs and shrubs capable of <br /> establishing vegetative communities that are capable of supporting the desired postmining land <br /> use. <br /> *The limitation to"native"status will not apply to introduced(and CDRMS approved)taxa specifically planted for an approved <br /> use(such as Orchard grass or Cicer milkvetch). <br /> Rule 4 Performance Standards 4-62 Revision Date: 12/20/19 <br /> Revision No.: TR-135 <br />
