The wami- <br />season grass standard is achieved by blue grama with 11.17 percent relative cover. One perennial forb, <br />hairy golden aster, having a relative cover of 3.35 percent, satisfies the perennial grass or shrub standard. <br />The species diversity standard on the Barren Ridge/Revision 1 Reclaimed Area was achieved during the <br />2003 sampling event. The four cool-season grasses that satisfy standard and their corresponding relative <br />cover values are: western wheatgrass (30.77 percent), hidiau ricegrass (8.21 percent), green needlegrass <br />(8.21 percent), and intermediate wheatgrass (4.62 percent). The warm-season grass standard is met by <br />blue grams (3.08 percent) and the perennial grass/shrub standard is satisfied by big sagebrush (11.79 <br />percent). Table A-3 summarizes the majority of species sampled in the reclaimed area with their <br />corresponding relative cover. <br />TABLE A-3 <br />CHIMNEY ROCK MINE - <br />DRYLAND RECLAIMED AREAS <br />SUMMARY OF RELATIVE COVER VALUES; 2003 POINT-INTERCEPT TRANSECTS <br />Reclaimed <br />Area Perennial <br />Grasses Relative <br />Cover (%) Perennial <br />Forbs & Shrubs Relative <br />Cover (%) <br />East Pit Western wheatgrass 18.44 Hairy golden aster 3.35 <br /> Blue grams 11.17 Alfalfa 2.23 <br /> h3tem~ediate wheatgrass 5.59 Wild prickly rose 1.12 <br /> Canada wildrye 5.59 <br /> Indian ricegrass 4.47 <br /> Meadow fescue 3.35 <br />Barren Ridge/ Western wheatgrass 30.77 Big sagebrush 11.79 <br />Revision 1 <br /> Indian ricegrass 8.21 Wild prickly rose 1.03 <br /> Green needlegrass 8.21 Alfalfa 0.51 <br /> Intermediate wheatgrass 4.62 <br /> Blue grams 3.08 <br />A complete list of all vegetative species encountered during the 2003 sampling event, including scientific <br />names, is presented on Tables A-10 and A-11. <br />For a detailed summary of absolute and relative cover for al] species detected during the 2003 sampling <br />event, refer to Tables A-4, A-6, and A-8. <br />053-Chimney Rock_P113 BON D_2003_(Jan.22A4)a A-5 <br />
