Based on the sampling <br />results, revegetation in the 1995 and 1996 reclamation azeas satisfies the applicable revegetation <br />success standards. Revegetation in the pre-1986 reclaimed area satisfies the applicable revegetation <br />success standards for annual production and species diversity/composition but not for cover or <br />shrub density. Kerr will continue managed grazing operations on reclaimed areas and anticipates <br />that the combination of grazing, progressive vegetative establishment from the initial revegetated <br />community, and natural reinvasion will enhance cover and shrub density. Kerr will continue to <br />monitor revegetation success and will conduct follow up revegetation success sampling and <br />evaluation to assess the effectiveness of progressive vegetative reestablishment. <br />13.0 TOTAL DISTURBANCE SUMMARY <br />The following table st,rt,rnati~rs the total disturbance at the Marc Mme and Loadout.
