J • • ~ . <br />Stipulation N14: Annual revegetation monitoring program. MLRD proposed that <br />monitoring include the following: 3-5 cover transects, 2-3 representative <br />production quadrats, one representative woody plant density transect, and a <br />discussion of diversity trends. WRD will be proposing a program. Additionally, <br />MLRD will be evaluating the requirement for annual monitoring at Munger Canyon <br />and biennial monitoring at McClave Canyon. <br />Response: We propose monitoring the progress of revegetation at the <br />Munger Canyon Mine on an annual basis. Each year, five cover transects <br />of the same technical description used in the baseline studies l50 m <br />length, 50 point intercepts) will be placed subjectively in each vegeta- <br />tion type. Likewise, five production quadrats, 1 m2 in area, will be <br />placed subjectively in each vegetation type. One 1 m x 50 m woody plant <br />density quadrat will be located subjectively in each vegetation type. <br />The subjective criterion for sampling location will be "representative- <br />ness" of general conditions. If grossly variable conditions exist, samples <br />will be located to illustrate this variation. <br />-~- <br />
