Gaasses provide 29 percent of the mean total vegetation <br />cover, fortis l ] percent of the cover, and shrubs 0.2] percent. Litter contributes 39.8 <br />percent ground cover. This vegetation community fits within the no appreciable canopy <br />category of Table 1. Assuming 80 percent ground cover (40% vegetation cover and 40% <br />litter), the C factor for the reclaimed areas is estimated at 0.013. It is reasonable to expect <br />the C factors for the reclaimed areas will be lower than the native area since the reclaimed <br />areas have a significantly higher proportion of grasses and litter that comact the ground <br />surface. <br />2004 Total Cover Data by Location and Type <br />Area Grasses Fortis Shrubs Litter Bare Rock <br />1995 32.42 6.53 0.42 37.26 23.16 0.11 <br />1997 24.80 15.73 0 42.4 17.07 0 <br />Mean 28.61 11.13 0.21 39.83 20.12 0.05 <br />p.8 <br />Coors Energy Comparry Keenesburg Mine Page 5 <br />Phasell Bond Release SeAlmeMOlogy Demonstration <br />
