• analysis, this "allocation" method of sample point selection should be acceptable. A sampling <br />point is that location in the study azea where the production, cover, or woody plant density <br />measurements aze collected. <br />Reference Area Monitoring. The extended reference azea, or portions thereof, wilt be <br />periodically monitored for cover, production, and species presence using similar methods at <br />intensities appropriate to the comparisons planned. In general, covet will 6e sampled to <br />adequacy. <br />Annual Report}gg <br />An Annual Reclamation Report will be submitted by March 30 of each year and will report <br />those items required by 2.04.13(1). Additionally, the following information will be included: <br />1. Annual weed control activities and herbicide application {when conducted) <br />2. Annual topsoil balance reporting <br />3. Revegetation monitoring report (when applicable) <br />4. Updated existing light use road locations and culverts with specific light use road <br />culvert design calculations <br />5. Submittal of existing graded topography with compazison to proposed posrmining <br />topography <br />6. Wildlife monitoring reporting when conducted <br />Testittg_for Successful Reclamation <br />The following discussion details the apphcable success criteria, methods to be used in <br />measurement of parameters, compazisons to be made between reclaimed and undisturbed areas, <br />and statistical tests to be performed. <br />An extended reference area approach will be used for assessing successful revegetation for the <br />parameters of cover and production at bodt the II-W and II-W South $xtension azeas. Woodq <br />plant density and species diversity success criteria will be based on technical performance <br />standards. As discussed lacer in this section, seasonal variety as a.success parameter is not <br />applicable because of the cool season vegetation dominance in the native areas. In addition, <br />• premining data for the wetter phase of the mesic drainage type (Dry Creek area in II-W; <br />Hubberson Uulch in the II-W South Extension area) will be used as success standazds for this <br />TR-50 43 Revised 04/05 <br />
