1 <br />' Species diversity will be sufficient to meet permit requirements. The use <br />t of the seed mixture listed on Table 2 should result in future stands of <br />vegetation meeting diversity requirements. <br />' Shrub density is less than the required 1,000 stems per acre for the entire <br />reclamation area; however, the data collected on each individual area <br />' indicate that shrub densities are increasing with the age of the stand. Due <br />to the size of the reclamation area and the competitive nature of native <br />' shrub species, it is likely that shrub densities will meet permit require- <br />ments by the end of the ten-year liability period, <br />' Productivity information collected in previous years shows a range of values <br />from 1,631 pounds per acre to 3,469 pounds per acre. The 1986 data falls <br />' within the range of productivity values obtained in previous years. The <br />annual productivity would be placed into the good condition rating for the <br />' SCS range condition classes. <br />' Data from the 1986 sampling effort indicate that revegetation efforts are <br />being successful. If the trends identified continue, it is expected that <br />' bond release attempts will be successful. <br />1 <br /> <br /> <br />1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />~~~~t <br />~~~ ~ <br />~~d aR <br />-12- <br />
