5.0 SUMMARY <br /> Quantitative vegetation sampling in 2020 of the reclaimed areas (first year) eligible for Phase <br /> III bond release at the Elk Creek Mine revealed that the revegetated areas exceeded the <br /> requirements for final revegetation success for total vegetation cover, total herbaceous <br /> production, and species composition. <br /> Based on the results of the 2020 quantitative vegetation sampling at the Oxbow Elk Creek <br /> Mine reclaimed areas, it was concluded that the Phase III bond release and revegetation <br /> requirements of CDRMS Rules 3.03, 4.15.7, and 4.15.8 have been satisfied for vegetation <br /> cover, total herbaceous production, and species composition; and that overall the sampling <br /> results demonstrate the establishment of a diverse, effective and permanent vegetation <br /> community of the same seasonal variety native to the land disturbed. <br /> Oxbow Mining,LLC Elk Creek Mine Page 13 <br /> 2020 Phase III Bond Release(Year 1):Vegetation Report <br />
