• CONCLUSIONS <br />The Bear Number 1 and 2 mine sites were reclaimed in 1982 and are in the <br />tenth year of the reclamation bond period. Studies conducted in August of 1991 and <br />1992 focused on determining whether vegetation on the reclaimed surfaces met or <br />exceeded the success criteria which are outlined in the 1987 Findings Document (Bear <br />Mines No. 1, 2, and 3 -Permit C-81-033). Success criteria apply to the Bear No 1 and <br />2 mines for herbaceous cover, herbaceous production, and species diversity. 1991 and <br />1992 data collected describing these parameters indicate that these success criteria have <br />been met or exceeded, qualifying the site for final bond release consideration per Rule <br />4.15.7(5). No woody stem density success standard applies to the sites. All <br />parameters were sampled to adequacy (with 90% statistical confidence) in both 1991 <br />• and 1992. <br />CJ <br />9 <br />
