Mr. Yern Pfannenstiel - 2 - May 9, 199G <br />done. Since Peabody is using an "extended reference area" for post <br />mining revegetation success comparisons, Peabody must prove to the <br />Division that additional permit areas of substantial size contain <br />similar plant communities. Comparisons made between the present <br />permit area and the additional areas using cover data from the same <br />year are acceptable. <br />5. On the Yoast area, there exist two communities of special <br />interest. The "irrigated hay" and "improved pasture" areas should <br />be sampled as were the irrigated hay and improved pasture areas at <br />Nucla. <br />6. At Seneca II-West there is only one community of special interest, <br />the "riparian" community along Dry Creek. This area should be <br />sampled to adequacy keeping in mind the restriction of number 2 <br />above. <br />If you have any questions, please contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />l <br />arl B. Mount <br />Reclamation Specialist <br />CBM/yjb <br />cc: James Lunan <br />6973E <br />
