Description of the reclamation results achieved: <br />Vegetation SamQine Methods -The vegetation sampling was performed in <br />accordance with the Guideline Regazding_Selected Coal Mine Bond Release Issues, <br />CDMG (April 18, 1995). The methods included development of agrid-overlay of <br />each azea and employing the complete random method to determine the starting point <br />and directional bearing of a given transect. <br />In 1997, a grid interval of 50-feet was used and bearings were based on a five degree <br />interval. The 50-meter transects were then plotted on a map. If the transect did not fit <br />within the inventory boundary, alternate randomly generated bearings were used to <br />ensure the transect length remained within the confines of the inventory boundary. <br />Once the transect start-coordinates and bearing were established, a GPS unit capable <br />of employing real-time location adjustment was used in the field to locate the start <br />point. A compass was then used to indicate the directional bearing. A 10-point frame <br />set at 5-meter intervals along each transect was used to collect individual <br />observations. <br />During 1998, a grid interval of one foot was used and directional bearings were based <br />on a one degree interval. A GPS unit capable of employing real-time location <br />adjustment was used in the filed to locate the start point. At the start point, a <br />
