<br />= 67.2 ~). Thus, the sampling indicates that the vegetation <br />presently meets all requirements that are part of the approved <br />species diversity standard. <br />CONCLUSIONS - <br />Vegetation at the reclaimed Bear Mine 1 and 2 sites was <br />• <br />• <br />sampled. Perennial, non-noxious herbaceous cover and <br />production were measured at 37.7 % and 1603 pounds per acre. <br />Success standards are listed on pages 50 and 51 of the 1987 <br />Bear Mines 1,2 and 3 Findings Document. The measured values <br />exceed either the approved parameter standard or 90 0 of it as <br />required by Rules 4.15.8(3)(a) and 4.15.8(4). The terms of <br />the approved species diversity standard are also met as <br />indicated by the multiple-hit cover data. Because no woody <br />stem density standard applies to either site, the vegetation <br />as indicated by the data presently would be found to be <br />successful for the purposes of determining whether final bond <br />release could be carried out by the Division. <br />9 <br />
