1.0 INTRODUCTION <br />Intermountain Resources of Laramie, Wyoming completed vegetation cover, <br />production, and shrub density sampling for the reclaimed azeas on the H-G Mine site <br />during August of 1996 and 1997. These studies were conducted for the purpose of <br />presenting data on these reclaimed areas proposed for final bond release. Data was <br />collected according to parameters outlined in Colorado Division of Ivfinerals and Geology <br />(CDMG) Bond Release Guideline, 1995 Revision. A sampling plan was submitted to the <br />CDMG and approved prior to initiation of field work. CDMG personnel were also onsite <br />to review sampling procedures with Intermountain Resources personnel prior to the 1996 <br />data collection. This sampling plan was revised at the request of the CDMG for the 1997 <br />studies with respect to sample site location. Additional analyses of the 1996 data were <br />• also requested and completed for inclusion in this report. <br />2.0 LOCATION <br />The H-G Mine is located in Routt County, Colorado nine miles south of the town <br />of Hayden.
