<br />total perennial vegetation had an absolute cover value of <br />34.9$. This value well exceeds the success standard. <br />' Twenty-two separate species (and one grass variety) <br /> were encountered during first-hit cover sampling. Of these, <br />' <br /> eleven were perennial grasses, one was an annual grass, two <br />' were perennial fortis, five were annual or biennial fortis, <br /> and three were shrub species. Five perennial grasses, one <br /> perennial forb, and one shrub contribute greater than the <br /> minimum 1$ relative cover. This exceeds the requirement of <br />1 lti <br />l <br />hit <br />i <br /> fe forms. Mu <br />p <br />e <br />four species from at least two l <br /> data would be expected to confirm that the reclaimed <br /> community presently satisfies the species diversity <br />' standard. <br />' SAMPLE ADEQUACY CALCULATIONS: <br />Sample adequacy calculations were carried out for total <br />vegetative cover and total stem density and are included in <br />Table 4 of the appendix. The reclaimed area was sampled to <br />' adequacy for cover but not for woody stem density. The <br />' number of cover transects sampled, 11, was greater than the <br />sample adequacy calculation of 7.1 (with 90$ statistical <br />' confidence). Woody stem density, which is not a success <br />parameter for this site, was too variable to have been <br />collected to adequacy after 11 quadrats. <br />1 <br /> 7 <br /> <br />
