<br />p. 9 <br />' 4.15 Reve~etation <br />I <br />i <br />~ 1. The Division requests that the applicant commit to a biennial monitoring <br />of revegetation success. The monitoring should be submitted to the Division <br />and include an analysis of cover, herbaceous productivity, woody plant density <br />~ and species composition. <br />! 2. The applicant needs to define and discuss the "yankability" test as <br />presented under 7.12.5 Grazing. <br />1 <br />I <br />3. The applicant needs to discuss the revegetation success criteria and <br />values which will be applied to the woody plant communitie(s) at the mine. <br /> <br />4. In herbaceous communities, the applicant must demonstrate comparability <br />between reference and baseline areas with 90% statistical confidence, not <br />the 80% level stated. An 80°!, level is an acceptable success criteria for <br />parameters in woody communities. <br />~ 5. If the applicant wishes a variance from the success criteria for <br />woody plant density in reclaimed areas, the applicant must present the <br />request, with supporting information, to the Division after the completion <br />of the 1981 sampling program. The supporting information should include <br />proposed woody plant densities for the reclaimed surface, potential <br />adverse impacts on fish, wildlife and related environmental values, <br />and a discussion of the ability of the proposed vegetatopm to control <br />erosion. <br />
