Box E <br />Paonia, Colorado 81428 <br /> <br />Re: Species Diversity Stipulation <br />to Orchard Valley Permit No. <br />C-038-81 <br />Dear Ms. Gordon: <br />The Division has completed its review of the Harner & Associates Inc. <br />Species Diversity Recommendations submitted February 14, 1983 in response <br />to Stipulation No. 15. <br />The Division agrees with the proposal recommended by CWI. The species <br />diversity standard agreed upon is as follows: <br />1) There are at least five native perennial herbaceous species (four native <br />coal season grasses and one native forb) which have a relative cover or <br />production equal to or greater than 3°6 each. <br />2) There are at least two native shrub species which no one exceeds a <br />relative density of 80%. <br />3) The five herbaceous species combined will not exceed 90% in relative <br />cover or production and anyone of the five species will not exceed 60% in <br />relative importance. <br />This standard will be reflected in the Division's proposed decision on <br />CWI's Permit Revision request. Stipulation No. 15 is hereby resolved. <br />Thank you for your cooperation in resolving this matter. <br />Sincerely, - <br />~, <br />Robert G.
