Box 1430 <br />Palisade, Colorado 81526 <br />Re: Roadside and Cameo No. 1 Mines (C-041-81) response to Stipulation No. 4 <br />Dear Mr. Barbe: <br />As discussed in our telephone conversation of September 9, 1985, and proposed <br />in your correspondence of August 22, 1985, I would like to restate the <br />revegetation.success criteria for woody plant density and species diversity for <br />the Roadside and Cameo Mines. <br />Woody Plant Density Revegetation Success Standards <br />1. One thousand stems (plants) per acre for reclaimed areas which were <br />originally Greasewood Shrubland. <br />2. Eight hundred stems (plants) per acre for reclaimed areas which were <br />originally Shadscale Shrubland. <br />3. One thousand stems (plants) per acre for reclaimed areas which were <br />originally Greasewood/Shadscale Shrubland. <br />We agreed that there was not a need to specify density standards for individual <br />species of woody plants. Additionally, we both feel that the standard for the <br />Shadscale Shrubland reclaimed areas will adequately serve the post-mining land <br />use and lead to successful revegetation given the south exposure of these areas. <br />Species Diversity Revegetation Success Standards <br />Greasewood Shrubland <br />- two perennial <br />- one perennial <br />-.two perennial <br />shrub species <br />forb species <br />grass species <br />Shadscale Shrubland <br />- one perennial <br />- one perennial <br />- two perennial <br />shrub species <br />forb species <br />grass species <br />(one being warm season, and one being cool season) <br />(one being warm season, and one being cool season) <br />423 Centennial Building, 1313 Sherman Street Denver, Colorado 80203 Tel.
