2.04.10 Vegetation Information <br />(1) Following collection of baseline data, an updated vegetation map <br />delineating the vegetation types by dominant species will be sup- <br />plied to the Division. <br />(2) Since major portions of the surface areas have previously been <br />disturbed, study area will be established for each major vegeta- <br />tion type. The study areas will be inventoried for plant variety, <br />plant density and threatened and endangered species. <br />Two (2) study areas will be located west of the Cameo refuse dis- <br />posal area in Coal Canyon. Each will have an area of approximately <br />twenty (20) acres. One area has a south facing exposure; the other <br />has a north and west facing exposure. The two areas will be rep- <br />resentative of presently disturbed areas at the Cameo No. 1 and <br />Roadside Mine areas. A study area for the unit train loading faci- <br />lity, overland conveyor, and a portion of the Roadside Mine surface <br />area will be established south of the Cameo Power Plant adjacent to <br />the Colorado River and will be approximately 4 acres in area. See <br />Exhibit 23 for proposed study area locations. <br />(4) In accordance with Rules 4.15.7 and 4.15.8, vegetation in the <br />established study areas and reclaimed areas will be sampled in <br />the following manner: <br />- Randomization: A ten meter interval grid will be established <br />for each study area and reclaimed area. Plot locations and <br />location and orientation of transects will be selected using <br />a random number table covering the grid limits for each area. <br />
