The information being supplied is iR~~ regard <br />to reclamation and reference area monitoring. It is our 1knd~r- <br />standing this information is being supplied to avoid unnecessary <br />stipulations to our mining permit. <br />1. Range conditions on both reference areas will be mon}}toted <br />every five years from the time of permit approcal b}~ the IU.S.D.A. <br />Soil Conservation Service in order to show that these are s are <br />in at least fair range condition. This evaluation shalA ~'Ie sub- <br />mitted to the regulatory authooity (RA) by the end of edc~ year <br />in.which the surve}• is conducted. If either or both of t e ref- <br />erence areas are determined to be in less than fair range condition <br />at any of these survey times, Wyoming Fuel Company will d sign in <br />consultation with the regulatory authority, the use appro~iriate <br />mitigative measures to attempt to restore these areas to fair range <br />condition. Wyoming Fuel Company will subjectively review the ref- <br />erellce areas during the periods between these five year eYaluations. <br />This interim evaluation will be an effort to, insure reference areas <br />are maintained in fair condition. In the event the range condition <br />increases to above fair condition during any of these abo}~e times <br />frames and particularly during bond release 6•lyoming Fuel Company <br />will rely solely on baseline data to evaluate revegetatioln success. <br />It may also be necessary to adjust vegetative success dat on <br />reference areas as a result of weather conditions during he bond <br />release period. This is to insure data taken from the re erence <br />area is comparable to the conditions when premising veget tion data <br />was collected. An appropriate revegetation success metlto~ology will <br />be developed in consultation with Wyoming Fuel Company an~3 the RA, <br />in the event the condition of the reference area(s) incre~ses <br />beyond fair. <br />~I~ ~I ~I I . i <br />iV i~ ~~I .
