<br /> <br />Page six <br />Letter to Mr. Fred R. Banta <br />Re: Permit 76-16/Pit 3 Surety Release <br />September 17, 1980 <br /> Herbaceous <br /> Percent Productivity <br /> Herbaceous in lbs. air dry Tract <br /> Cover forage per acre Acreage <br />Big Sagebrush <br />Reference Area 10.7 324 -- <br />Reclamation <br />Tract A 28.7 864 24.97 <br />Tract B 34.0 1,592 27.32 <br />Tract C 23.4 1,011 13.31 <br />Tract D 28.2 1,223 13.88 <br />Tract E 42.0 1,188 1.86 <br />Tract F 29.0 1,035 5.0 <br />Tract G 32.2 1,132 27.58 <br />A statistical evaluation of these two parameters was not <br />conducted since the previously cited OSM guidelines require that, <br />"if the revegetated mean is greater than or equal to the standard, <br />no statistical test is required." Using the two parameters iden- <br />tified by OSM and CMLRD in evaluating revegetation success it <br />is evident that revegetation success has been achieved. Since <br />these reclamation tracts which were reclaimed in 1976 and 1977 <br />exceed current standards both of CMLRD and OSM for revegetation <br />success it is the opinion of EFC that the 113.92 acres contained <br />within these tracts be removed from bonding liability. <br />If you have any questions regarding anything in this <br />request, please contact me at your convenience. <br />Sincerely, <br />ENERGY FUELS CORPORATION <br />~.~,°~ <br />Kent A.
