A study carried out on reclaimed <br />lands at the Seneca II Mine in 1982 concluded that natural regeneration <br />of shrubs on reclaimed lands was a viable method of shrub reestablishment <br />in order to meet the density requirement. The CMLR concurred in their <br />letter of March 16, 1983. <br />
