• the Topsoil Pile B and C azeas while Big sagebrush was dominant on the primary <br />reclaimed area and the Sanitary Landfill area. It should be noted that Topsoil Pile B had <br />one shrub density sample site while Topsoil Pile C, Sanitary Landfill area and Explosives <br />Storage azea had two sample sites each. <br />5.5 Statistical Anal~es <br />1996 Data <br />All production and cover data collected during the original 1996 study met sample <br />adequacy as shown on Table 4a. Shrub density did not meet sample adequacy but the <br />assumption that the standard was met is still valid based on statistical tests performed in <br />accordance with CDMG direction, as discussed in Section 6.0. Table 4a was generated <br />• using the formulas and statistical values outlined in the 1995 CDMG Bond Release <br />Guideline. <br />1996 Revised Data <br />Table 46 shows the revised 1996 data in which all pazameters except reclamation <br />production and shrub density met sample adequacy. Given that the mean productivity <br />value for the reclaimed area far exceeds the productivity value for any of the reference <br />azeas, sample adequacy is of little concern for this pazameter. It is assumed that the shrub <br />density standard was met and is still valid based on statistical tests as discussed in Section <br />6.0. Statistical evaluations were not calculated for the small non-contiguous azeas due to <br />the low numbers of samples collected. <br />C 1 <br />28 <br />
