0 proposed mitigative measures will be submitted to the CDMG by June 1 of each year. <br />The rill and gully stabilization plan will be implemented after July 1 of each year and <br />completed by November 1 or until weather conditions restrict operations. <br />Revegetation Monitoring <br />Monitoring of revegetated areas will consist of both qualitative evaluations and quantitative <br />measurements. Qualitative evaluations will be carried out at least annually during the first <br />two growing seasons, while quantitative measurements and evaluations will be on a more <br />periodic basis. <br />Qualitative evaluations will consist of visual observations of newly seeded areas in order to <br />evaluate seeding success, locate areas of excessive rilling and gullying, determine the <br />success of applied reclamation practices and identify potential noxious weed problems. <br />Qualitative evaluations may extend past the first several years for areas of new rill and <br />gully repair, areas of noxious weed control or areas requiring restricted interseeding or <br />i- <br />reseeding. <br />Monitoring through quantitative measures will be conducted periodically on revegetated areas. <br />Periodic monitoring of reclaimed areas will be conducted in years 3 and 6. Reference area <br />sampling may be conducted coincidentally with revegetation monitoring. For purposes of this <br />discussion, quantitative sampling during the last two consecutive years of the extended <br />Liability period is not considered as monitoring. The data and results from the <br />quantitative monitoring program will be provided to CDMG by March 30 of the fallowing year <br />as part of the Annual Reclamation Report. <br />Sampling Parameters. The following discussion details parameters to be sampled, sampling <br />methodologies, and sampling intensity for the revegetation monitoring program. <br />Cover. Cover data will include cover by species (both absolute and relative values),, total <br />vegetative cover, and cover values for litter, rock, and bare ground. Mosses and lichens <br />will be included, if present. <br />Production. Production data will be Collected as total herbaceous. In some cases where <br />additional information is desired, production will be collected by herbaceous growth forms. <br />9 <br />
