The <br />field work and reporting was conducted by ESCO Associates, inc., <br />with Dr. David Buckner as principal investigator. i am confident <br />your staff will fond the monitoring report of the quality exhibited <br />in previous reports. Monitoring at both mines, especially Seneca <br />ii, is oriented towards measuring the status of variously aged <br />reclaimed units and the success of revegetation procedures. More <br />importantly, monitoring aids in evaluating the affects of <br />successional processes on reclaimed communities. Additional <br />elements include evaluation of grazing in reclaimed lands and the <br />applicability of new sampling procedures. <br />SCC, PWCC, and ESCO welcome any comments you or your staff may have <br />on the information provided in this report. Please contact me or <br />Roy Karo if you or any other members of the Division have any <br />questions concerning the enclosed materials. <br />Respectfully, <br />Michael G.
