Data collected for stem density was not normally distributed. Therefore, <br />nonparametric statistics were used to analyze the data, and the reverse <br />null hypothesis was used to test reclamation success. The woody stem <br />density standard was 500 stems/acre. The lower 90% confidence limit <br />on the median was 581 stems/acre in 1997 and 774 stems/acre in <br />1998. Because the lower 90% confidence limit on the median for 1997 <br />and 1998 is greater than the standard, woody stem density was deemed <br />successful. <br />The Canadian Mine species diversity was achieved. The reclaimed areas <br />have at least three cool season grasses with a minimum cover of three <br />percent relative cover, one forb species with a minimum relative cover of <br />one percent and two shrub species. The dominant herbaceous species <br />are native and include: western wheatgrass, slender wheatgrass, <br />sandberg bluegrass and alfalfa. The two shrubs are big sagebrush and <br />rubber rabbitbrush. Species diversity was deemed successful. <br />In summary, reclamation of the Canadian Strip Mine represents exemplary <br />reclamation that has achieved the final bond release criteria. DMG is <br />supportive of the nomination. Please contact me or Sandra Brown if you <br />need additional information or assistance with the nomination. <br />sor <br />cc: Mitch Rollings <br />
