Parameter Standard 90 ~ of Standard <br />' Grassland community - <br />' Woody stem density 100 stems/acre 90 stems/acre <br />' Riparian community <br />Woody stem density 1000 stems/acre 900 stems/acre <br />1 <br />Finally, the species diversity standard is the same for <br />both communities. Page 113i of the permit application <br />' identifies it as follows: "A minimum of one cool season sod <br />forming grass, and three cool season bunch grasses, with each <br />' species having a minimum relative cover of five percent. <br />Perennial forbs (all species combined) must provide a minimum <br />of five percent relative cover. No individual herbaceous <br />species which provides in excess of 60 percent relative cover <br />' can be counted toward the diversity standard. A minimum of <br />three woody plant species must be present in the reclaimed <br />' community." <br />A. Grassland community <br />t Cover: (Table 1; summary in Table 9). <br />' Total herbaceous cover was found to average 33.8 ~ while <br />total perennial herbaceous cover was measured at 28.6 ~. Both <br />values are short of the success standard, though due to the <br />circumstances surrounding the site, the operator may not need <br />11 <br />
