AyPertdu A - VeRemriort Samy(inR (or 1998 <br />vegetative cover, thus meeting the perennial warm-season grass diversity requirement. Russian <br />_ wild-rye, slender wheatgrass, smooth brome, western wheatgrass, and green needlegrass fall <br />^ within the cool-season perennial grass diversity requirement. <br />Of the four perennial forb species sampled on the disturbed area in June and September, only <br />alfalfa exhibits a relative cover of greater than 3.0 percent. This is consistent with the reference <br />~ area data in which only one perennial forb, cicer milkvetch, was sampled with an abundance <br />- greater than 3.0 percent. Since forb species diversity is an arbitrary standard, Kaiser requests the <br />~ use of comparison to the reference area for the determination of forb diversity success. <br />f SAMPLING PROGRAM FOR 1999 <br />' Vegetation sampling will be conducted during 1999 for completion of year ten data. Sampling will <br />be conducted consistent with the methods presented herein. Sampling will be conducted during <br />mid-July to identify both cool and watYtt-season species that are required to be present on the <br />reclaimed area. <br />Bond057 1999-0Sl.wpd\February 26, 1999 f~-1 Q <br />
