i <br />' 1.0 INTRODUCTION <br />Trinidad Basin Mining is currently operating a surface coal mine located in <br />' Delagua Canyon about 19 miles northwest of Trinidad, in Los Animas County, <br />Colorado. During August 1984, a vegetation study was conducted 6y Western <br />Resource Development (WRD) in order to establish revegetation standards for <br />' existing and future disturbances. Two affected area vegetation types were <br />identified: Pinyon-Juniper Woodland Complex and Meadow. <br />Trinidad Basin Mining has submitted a request to Colorado Mined Land <br />' Reclamation for the removal of three sediment control ponds in the eastern <br />portion of Section 22 of the permit area. Per the requirements of Colorado <br />Mined Land Reclamation, the revegetated areas above the sediment ponds were <br />quantitatively sampled for vegetation cover and compared to the recently <br />established Pinyon-Juniper Woodland Complex reference area. <br />' This report documents the vegetation sampling, presents and discusses the <br />data, and compares the results to the Pinyon-Juniper Woodland Complex <br />reference area. <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />-1- <br />
