• • <br />Adequacy- Adequacy can be calculated using the one-tailed table <br />value for n-1 degrees of freedom at the 90$ confidence level <br />instead of the two-tailed value. However, if any hypothesis <br />testing has to be conducted to demonstrate the reference areas <br />equality to the baseline area, the Kuper and Hafner adequacy <br />formula on page 20 of the Bond Release Guideline should be <br />utilized. <br />Location- No Comment <br />Random- No Comment <br />Field Placement- No Comment <br />Map- No Comment <br />Total Vegetative Cover- The 25 meter transect length is <br />acceptable. <br />Species Diversity- No Comment <br />Total Herbaceous Production- No Comment <br />Shrub Density- No Comment <br />Species Identification- No Comment <br />Statistical Evaluation- Same comment for using the one-tailed <br />table value and the Kuper and Hafner formula if hypothesis testing <br />is required. <br />As we discussed, these changes should be incorporated into the <br />current sampling project and the proposed methods that were <br />submitted on June 29, 1995 should also be updated to reflect these <br />changes. <br />If you have any questions or require additional information, please <br />contact me. <br />Since, ~'"~ <br />Anthony J.
