APPENDIX 2.4-B <br />TROUT CREEK WATER WITHDRAWAL PAD RECLAMATION AND SUCCESS DETERMINATION <br />Appropriate revegetation materials will be utilized to reclaim the water <br />withdrawal site on Trout Creek. The anticipated area of disturbance is 1.19 ocres. <br />Due to The limited amount of disturbance in the Red top/Willow Community (.46 acres) <br />ii was jointly agreed upon by the MLRD and P & M that maintenance of a 2.0 acre <br />reference area is unnecessary for determining revegetation success. In lieu of such <br />an area the following methods will be utilized for release of vegetative bonds. <br />During the growing season prior to bond release application fifty meter transects <br />will be run using a ten point frame and a 0.25 meter2 hoop in both undisturbed <br />riparian and revegetated riparian habitats. Productivity, cover and diversity data will <br />be taken. Relevant shrub data (i.e. number of stems per acre, height, etc.) will also <br />be collected. Transects in the undisturbed areas will be located immediately above <br />and below the disturbed area. A sufficient number of transects will be taken to <br />• achieve applicable statistical confidence levels. <br />l J <br />Revised 10-81 3 <br />
