• 2.5 Fire Areas <br />2.5.1 FAOO1 <br />FA001 is comprised of 2.19 acres of moderately sloping revegetation/native that has a <br />predominately southeasterly aspect This unit was accidentally burned in the summer of 2002 and <br />seeded during the fall of 2002, and therefore, has undergone one growing season prior to sampling in <br />2003. A total of 18 plant taxa were observed in the unit (see Table 19). <br />Seedling emergence data (Tables 16 and 57) from 10 quadrats in FA001 revealed that there was an <br />average of 1 perennial seedling per square foot. An average density of 0.90 was attributed to perennial <br />gresses while the remaining 0.10 seedlings per square foot were from perennial forts. No shrub <br />seedlings were documented from the quadrat sampling effort. Annual species, especially cheatgrass and <br />Russian thistle, contributed an average of 2.70 seedlings per square foot Woody plant density data were <br />rewrded from the 10 sampling quadrats. Although numerous shrubs and species were observed in the <br />area, no emergent shrubs were documented from the sampling effort <br />• Noxious weeds appear to be controlled in this unit First year seedling emergence is fair for <br />perennial grasses and forts, while shrub emergence is lacking. Because of the scattered abundance of <br />cheatgrass in places throughout the unit, spot use of the herbicide Oust or Plateau for control is <br />recommended. Such control should help release the perennials remaining in the understory. <br />I• <br />Ken~lt Energy C0. / Colowyo Mine Page 62 Revegetatlon Monkoring -2003 <br />
