<br />flat area, to the west exposure, to the north exposure <br />for all soil depths; and <br />- there is no and poor correlations between soil depth and <br />shrub density and height, respectively, <br />Comparison of the results of the sampling to the reclamation <br />success standards showed that: <br />- All soil depths in ali tests plots exceed the cover (38.4 <br />percent) of the Shadscale Shrubland standard. <br />- Total herbaceous production in all test plots and for all <br />soil depths except 6" (Test Plot 1) exceed the 164.4 <br />• lbs/acre production of the Shadscale Shrubland standard. <br />} <br />- All soil depths in all test plots are below the density <br />standard of 1635 stems/acre. <br />- A total of 29 plants occur on the three test plots <br />compared to 34 in the Shadscale Shrubland standard area. <br />3.3 Western Slope Carbon <br />Western Slopes Carbon's Hawk's Nest Mine, in Delta County, <br />Colorado, has been in operation since the 1930's. The mine has <br />produced as much as 1 million tons of coal annually. Hoth Hawk's <br />Nest and the Mt. Gunnison No. 1 Mines are located in the Upper <br />Coal Member of the Mesa Verde Formation. Hawk's Nest mines the E <br />Seam while Mt. Gunnison mines the F Seam, adjacent seams in the <br />7-R <br />
