Documented within is <br />information relative to the erosion and sedimentation condition of these reclaimed areas, <br />and the native sandsage vegetation community adjacent to the mine. Quantitative <br />sampling of vegetation for this Phase II bond release application was performed in August <br />2004, in compliance with Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Board Surface Coal Mining <br />Rules and guidelines and is documented in the vegetation information included in the bond <br />release application and the 2004 Annual Reclamation Report, herein incorporated by <br />reference.
