Statistical Evaluation: <br />The calculation of sample adequacy for cover samples <br />followed methods outlined on page 15 of the Division's <br />Vegetation Guidelines. The statistical demonstration that <br />reclaimed areas matched the approved standard will be done <br />by Mr. Michael Savage of Savage and Savage in a separate <br />report. <br />RESULTS <br />j Seventeen transects were placed within five reclaimed <br />locations. Table 5 indicates how many samples each area <br />received. Reclaimed areas received between 2 and 6 samples <br />each. The Northern No. 1 Mine section west of the road <br />comprised 34.2$ of the overall 16.1 acres sampled. It <br />received 6 (transects 1 through 6) of the total 17 samples. <br />The Northern No. 1 Mine topsoil stockpile area was the <br />smallest location sampled (1.6 acres) and received two <br />samples (transects 7 and 8). Samples were also taken in the <br />Refuse Area topsoil stockpile area (transects 9 and 10), the <br />Refuse Area (transects it and 12), and the Rienau No. 2 mine <br />area west of Highway 13 (transects 13 through 17). <br />4 <br />
