• of the monitoring data shows that at Transects 1, 2, and 3 the flow feature has been <br />relatively stable over the past several yeazs. At Transect 4, the overall cross-sectional <br />area of the feature has remained fairly constant with the feature consolidating into a <br />single flow channel over the past several yeazs as opposed to the double channel <br />which existed in the eaz{ier yeazs. Transect 5 shows what appears to be a widening of <br />the channel along the south bank over the period of record. However, this appazent <br />widening is in fact the result of the development of the confluence of a tributary flow <br />feature with the monitored flow feature at this location. <br />As at the above sites, quantitative revegetation success pazameters for South-of--Shop <br />were not required. However, favorable vegetation cover was present on South-of- <br />Shop during a previous bond release for the remainder of the area. The vegetation <br />cover on South-of--Shop at the time of the previous bond release was 61 %. Therefore, <br />it was mutually agreed by P&M and the CDMG that the minimum vegetative cover <br />value for determining revegetation success would be established at 61 %. <br />• <br />The vegetation cover value for the South-of--Shop area was 84.9%. Undesirable plant <br />species contributed 0.1 % to the cover value. Appendix E provides [he vegetation <br />sampling data collected during July, 1997. The vegetation sampling was performed <br />in accordance with the Guideline Reeazdinu Selected Coal Mine Bond Release Issues, <br />CDMG (April 18, 1995). <br />• <br />
