Kent Gorham <br />June 18, 1999 <br />Page 5 <br />Post-mining success of species diversity will be determined by comparing the relative cover values <br />of the reclaimed area with the values ascertained within the reference area vegetation community. <br />The permit states: Kaiser will establish a reclaimed vegetation cortununiry with a minimum of two <br />cool season grasses, two warm season grasses, and two forb species. Additionally, within the <br />post-mining vegetation community, no single species will comprise more than 40 percent nor less <br />than three percent of the relative cover. The is no cover requirement for shrub species. <br />Kaiser will submit an application for Phase III bond release in the fall of 1999. <br />We are planning to initiate sampling on July 19, 1999. If you have any questions or need <br />additional information on our scope of work, please feel free to contact me at (303)850-0930. We <br />welcome all corrunents from the CDMG. <br />Sincerely, <br />l '~/L~/^-- ~~iL'T'Ci <br />Chuck Florian <br />Staff Ecologist <br /> <br />
