III. COMMENTS -COMPLIANCE <br />Below are comments on the inspection. The comments include discussion of observations made <br />during the inspection. Comments also describe any enforcement actions taken during the inspection <br />and the facts or evidence supporting the enforcement action. <br />Revegetation/Reclamation Success, Cont'd <br />Vegetation in the North Decline Area is little changed from descriptions in recent inspection reports. <br />Older reclamation areas seeded in the 1990's are characterized by mature fourwing saltbush and black <br />greasewood, with understory heavily dominated by cheatgrass and associated winter annual grasses and <br />(orbs. Perennial grasses, fortis, and subshrubs are very poorly represented. The water line right of way <br />corridor, which was seeded in 2000 supports a somewhat more diverse shrub stand, with a modest <br />perennial grass understory. <br />The Division has recommended that the operator propose remedial cheatgrass control treatments and <br />reseeding to enhance the stand diversity for this site. <br />8 <br />
