Based on the comparison shown <br />in Table 2, the Division finds that vegetative production on the bond release block has met the <br />requirements for Phase II and Phase III bond release. <br />Comparison of species diversity on bond release block with success criteria. Table 3, be]ow, <br />shows that in both 1996 and 1997, species diversity on the bond release block exceeded the bond <br />release requirements specified in the permit application. <br />Table 3 <br />Comparison of <br />species diversity <br />Bond release <br />requirement <br />specified in <br />permit <br />No. of species representing more than 5% <br />relative cover each: <br />1996 Minimum of 5 <br />1997 Minimum of 5 <br />Total relative % cover for 3 most <br />abundant herbaceous species: <br />1996 Maximum of 75% <br />1997 Maximum of 75% <br />cover of single most abundant species: <br />1996 Maximum of 40% <br />1997 Maximum of 40% <br />Observed <br />on bond <br />release <br />parcel <br />6 <br />6 <br />72% <br />64% <br />28% <br />29% <br />Hayden Gulch Mine Page 8 May 25, 1999 <br />Phase II/III Bond Release <br />
