<br />From this mixture it is anticipated that a species diveristy <br />of 4 cool season grasses and 1 forb species can be acheived on <br />reclaimed land at the mine. The combined relative cover of these <br />species will not exceed 75~ on the reclaimed surface, nor will <br />any one of these species comprise greater than 40$ relative cover. <br />In addition to reestablishment of a diverse herbaceous <br />component, two woody plant species are to be reestablished on the <br />reclaimed areas. No single woody plant species will have a <br />relative importance (derived from density data) of greater than <br />80$. <br />The woody plant diversity goal is directly related to stipul- <br />ation #1 which states, "within one year of permit issuance, H-G <br />Coal Company must propose to the division an acceptable standard, <br />based on the results of their site-specific study and other <br />available data, for the determination of reclamation success of <br />woody plant density on the Hayden Gulch site." Therefore based <br />on results from this woody plant density study, the woody plant <br />diversity goal will be subject to review within one year. <br />The diversity goal of 4 cool season grasses and 1 forb species <br />will be reviewed every two years by the Division and H-G Coal <br />Company. If it appears that these diversity goals are not <br />achievable, then they will be subject to revision. <br />
