• Cover. Cover will be measured by the point-intercept method. The paint-intercept transact will be at least <br />25 meters long with a minimum of 50 points taken. <br />Production. Production data will be celleded by the harvest method. All herbaceous vegetation occuring <br />within the vertical projection of a 112 m2 to 1 m2 plot will be harvested as discussed in Sampling <br />Parameters. <br />Woody Plant Density. ,Woody plant densities will be measured in a 1 m x 50 m (50 m2) quadmnt in the <br />reference area and generally a 2 m x 50 m (100 m2) quadrant in the revegetated areas. Larger or smaller <br />quadrants may be used in reclaimed areas depending on area to be sampled or specfic sampling goals. <br />Species List. The specles list will be developed both from spdng flora investigations and from information <br />gathered during peak growing season sampling. <br />Samolino Intensity. Because of the varying degree of disturbance or size of reclaimed areas from year to <br />• year, a size dimension of a reclaimed area cannot be specified. Therefore, a minimum of one (1) sample for <br />each ten (10) acres of reclaimed area will be located in each block of reclamation or until sample adequacy <br />(if required) is achieved. A particular block will be identified by year of seeding. Sampling locations will <br />generally be established through the use of random point selection. This method may be modified when it <br />becomes apparent that a more even distribution or allocation of sampling points would be desirable, <br />particulady 'rf the reclamation block is split into a number of subunits. Since the monRodng data is intended <br />for evaluation of revegetation stands and reclamation methods and not for strict statistical analysis, this <br />"allocetion" method of sample point selection is practical. A sampling point is that location in the study area <br />where the production, cover and woody plant density measurements for a sample are collected, <br />Reference Area Monitoring. The reference areas will be pedodicelly monitored using similar methods, <br />parameters, and intensities as specified under Revegetation Monitoring. <br />Annual Reoortina <br />The Annual Reclamation Report will be submitted by March 30 of each year and will report those items <br />• required by 2.04.13(1). Additionally, the following information will be included: <br />1. Annual herbicide applications and weed and pest control measures <br />TR-37 1327 Revised 04/05 <br />
