Section 2.05.4(2~(e) Rev etation (continued) <br />because the reclaimed community is herb rather than shrub dominated. All current annual <br />herbaceous production located within the volumetric vertical projection of each quadrat will be <br />clipped, separated according to life form, and bagged. The four life form classifications will <br />include perennial grasses, perennial forts, noxious weeds, and annual or biennial species. <br />Production data will not be the basis of species diversity evaluation, and therefore sorting by <br />species is unnecessary. All production samples will be oven dried at 110 degrees Fahrenheit to <br />a constant weight. <br />Statistical evaluations will follow those outlined in the Division of Minerals and Geology <br />Guideline Re arding Selected Coal Mine Bond Release Issues_ April 18. ]995 unless some <br />other methodology has been approved or can be found to be acceptable. If other methods or <br />calculations are to be used, these will be submitted to the Division for their evaluation and <br />approval prior to the beginning of sampling. <br /> <br />-4c- <br />Revised 8/7/97 <br />~ ra-~w <br />
