be a revegetation success criterion for only the Juniper Woodland community. This contradicts page 39 and 40 of the renewal findings document which specifies woody plant density standards for each of the four identified vegetation types. The text should be revised to rectify this discrepancy. 7. The application does not include a discussion of the statistical tests to be performed in determinations of revegetation success as required by Rule 4.15.7(1)(c). Appropriate sample adequacy formulas and hypothesis tests are discussed in the Division's recently issued bond release guideline, and it is suggested that approaches listed in the guideline be incorporated into the application. 2.05.6(3) 8. Pages 2.5-1 and 2'.6-1 which describe the hydrologic monitoring program need to be updated to include the monitoring program authorized for the period of temporary cessation. Monitoring sites, schedule, and parameters should be specified. Reference to well GW-6 which implies that the well has not yet been installed needs to be revised. Also, the groundwater monitoring plan references continued monitoring of Well GW-4. As indicated in recent AHR's, GW-4 water levels and quality are affected by irrigation drainage water, and the well is not representative of East Salt Creek alluvial water. It would be appropriate to eliminate reference to GW-4 monitoring within the midterm response revision. A corresponding revision for the McClane Mine would be necessary before monitoring of the well could be terminated. V. BONDING The Division has reviewed the bond amount and conditions of the bond for the Munger Canyon Mine. We currently hold $324,408.75 in properly executed U.S. Treasury Note Bonds. This amount is would be sufficient for the Division to fully reclaim the site in the event of bond forfeiture. m:\coal\dtm\020mdtrm.dtm
