<br /> <br />TRAPPER MINE RESPONSE TO PR-1 ADEQUACY RESPONSE DOCUMENT <br />May, 1987 <br />5. Reclamation Plans and Revegetation Success Criteria <br />As noted in the Division's Mid-Terns Review to Trapper Mining Inc. <br />(December 5, 1985), there was no[ at that time, and still is not, any <br />approved standards for shrub density, productivity or vegetative cover on <br />the reclaimed areas. Acceptable standards must be submitted and approved <br />before the Division can approve this permit revision. <br />Response <br />Trapper is in the process of submitting standards for cover and produc- <br />tion. A revised proposed standard for production was submitted to the <br />Division on May 8, 1987. A revised standard for cover will be submitted <br />shortly. <br />Trapper takes exception to the claim that an approved shrub standard does <br />not exist. The standard of shrub clumps and an implied shrub density <br />standard of 400 stems per acre was approved as part of our original <br />permit document. However, since that time, i.e. mid-term permit review, <br />the Division has found that original approval unacceptable. Trapper <br />resubmitted a new shrub standard on May 4, 1987. <br />
