Dept. of 1~st!xal P.esm rr <br />This letter is to reiterate my understanding of our discussion in your <br />office on March 15, 1982, concerning mature shrub transplanting at Trapper Mine. <br />At that time, we reviewed the paper "Reestablishment of Shrubs at the Trapper <br />Mine" as submitted to you in October of 1981. You agreed that the shrub clump- <br />ing standard proposed in the paper is acceptable, and we can plan our 1982 shrub <br />transplanting based on the clump size and distribution criteria discussed in the <br />paper. This will result in shrub clumps of about 300' in diameter on every 46 <br />acres of reclaimed range sites A and B. <br />I indicated that we are selecting locations for the clumps based on topo- <br />graphy and surface drainage features. As we refine these subjective location <br />criteria, we will keep you apprised. Our clump shapes will be varied to fit the <br />terrain and more nearly approximate natural conditions. <br />Although we did not precisely define success standards for shrubs; it seems <br />logical to judge success based on the size of the clumps, the distance between <br />them, and Y, survival of the transplanted shrubs within the clumps. <br />Mike, I.appreciate your cooperation in resolving this complex issue. If I <br />have misrepresented our meeting in any way, please contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />WES/js <br />~ilcC~ ~~~_~ <br />Wayne E.
