~. 4 ....... __ <br />• <br />the paragraph there is reference to "live vegetation cover" and "various cover components". Live vegetation <br />cover is the sole criteria applicable to demonstration of reveeetation success for cover, and the text should be <br />appropriately amended. <br />29. Page (e)-22, the application indicates that grazing will be suspended on dryland pasture reclaimed areas a <br />year before and during the vegetation sampling time frame to ensure no interference with sampling. Rule <br />4.15.7(3)(F) requires that reference areas and revegetated areas receive the same management during the last <br />two full years of the liability period. The application will need to address how gmzing will be controlled on <br />the proposed dryland pasture reference area on BLM land during the final two years, to be consistent with the <br />revegetated area grazing management. The reference area will need to be properly delineated in the field and <br />on an appropriate map. <br />30. Page (e)-25, there is reference to white tailed prairie dogs, in the third paragraph. The wildlife baseline <br />section of the application indicates that the indigenous species is Gunnison's prairie dog. The text should be <br />amended as appropriate. <br />31. Following the Revegetation Plan section, there is a Cover Page for Attachment (e)-1, NRCS Form 5's, but the <br />referenced forms are not included. The attachment should be amended as appropriate. <br />Should you have any questions regarding this matter or are in need of additional information, please contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />~~~ <br />Harry B.
