<br />' developed and healthy (see especially pictures on page A-8). <br />Visually, the site had changed dramatically in one year. <br />' Woody stem density was also measured, although it is <br />not a required parameter for this site. Data, summarized in <br />Table 3, was not collected to adequacy. Three shrub species <br />were encountered during sampling, contributing a combined <br />68.6 stems per 50 square meter quadrat. This value is <br />equivalent to 5558 stems per acre, an excellent value for <br />' any reclaimed site. 96.4 of woody stems were Four winged <br />saltbush individuals. <br />1 <br />COMPARISON OF RECLAIMED AREA WITH SUCCESS STANDARDS: <br />Because the site was previously mined, only cover and <br />species diversity standards apply. As outlined in Appendix <br />F of the approved permit application, 23.0$ total cover <br />(contributed by plant species other than annuals and <br />biennials) is the success standard that applies to Red <br />Canyon. The species diversity standard requires that four <br />species from two or more life forms must each contribute at <br />' least 1$ relative cover. <br />' In 1991, total absolute perennial vegetative cover was <br />only measured at 17.7$, which did not exceed either the <br />23.0$ standard or 90$ of that standard (20.7$). In 1992, <br />1 <br />6 <br /> <br />
