13 <br />XI. Vegetation - Rules 2.04.10, 2.05.4(2)(e), and 4.15 <br />The Division reviewed the application for compliance with the Rules and <br />Regulations. Vegetation baseline information is contained within the <br />application on pages 31-124 through 3-142 in Volume I, and Appendices 3.6-1 in <br />Volume II, 3.6-2, and 3.6-3 in Volume VI; the revegetation plan is contained <br />on pages 4-68-69 and 4-71 through 74 in Volume I. <br />The Coal Ridge No. 1 Mine proposes to disturb significant acreages in three <br />vegetation communities and a small area of a fourth community. The applicant <br />proposes to disturb 104 acres of sagebrush community, 113 acres of <br />pinyon-juniper vegetation type, 30 acres of irrigated hayland, and 9 acres of <br />mountain shrub. The applicant had vegetation baseline studies of varying <br />scope and location undertaken by three different consultants during different <br />years (1981, 1982, 1983). <br />During the review the Division determined that none of the studies provided <br />sufficient baseline vegetation information to meet the requirements of the <br />Division (see Figure No. 1). The following information must be submitted <br />before the Division can approve th permit application: <br />Requirement No. 5 <br />A. THE APPLICANT MUST PROVIDE VEGETATION BASELINE INFORMATION <br />ACCEPTABLE TO THE DIVISION, FOR THE PARAMETERS VEGETATION COVER, <br />VEGETATION PRODUCTION, WOODY PLANT DENSITY, AND SPECIES DIVERSITY <br />FOR THE SAGEBRUSH, PINYON-JUNIPER, AND IRRIGATED HAYLAND VEGETATION <br />COMMUNITIES. <br />B. IF THE PERMITTEE ELECTS TO UTILIZE REFERENCE AREAS AS THE MEANS FOR <br />DETERMINING REVEGETATION SUCCESS; AT A MINIMUM ADEQUATE INFORMATION <br />ON VEGETATION COVER, AND VEGETATION PRODUCTION WILL BE REQUIRED FOR <br />EACH REFERENCE AREA FOR EACH COMMUNITY IN 1 ABOVE. THE PERMITTEE <br />WILL FURTHER BE REQUIRED TO DEMONSTRATE COMPARABILITY OF EACH <br />REFERENCE AREA TO AFFECTED COMMUNITIES. <br />In reviewing the revegetation plan many areas were not addressed sufficiently <br />to allow the Division to make a finding of compliance. For this reason the <br />following information is required: <br />Requirement No. 6 <br />THE APPLICANT SHALL REVISE THE PERMIT TO REFLECT THE FOLLOWING <br />REQUIREMENTS. <br />REVEGETATION PLAN: <br />1. THE PERMITTEE NEEDS TO REVISE THE PERMIT APPLICATION TO SPECIFY <br />SPECIFIC DATES DURING WHICH REVEGETATION ACTIVITIES WILL BE <br />UNDERTAKEN (e.g. FERTILIZING, MULCHING, SEEDING). <br />
