,a , <br />Deserado: 1993 Refuse Pile Veg_ ReQprt 2 <br />collected on the reference area no significant comments can be made on productivity data. <br />However, this data should prove useful for comparison when sampling is conducted again <br />in 1995. <br />WFU appears to be monitoring this reclamation as agreed upon with the Division. The <br />increase in perennial grasses from 1992 to 1993 is encouraging. The absence of perennial <br />forbs and shrubs could be problematic for WFU in the future, as the reclaimed areas need <br />to exhibit 90% of the woody plant density as measured in the appropriate reference area. <br />WFU may need to give consideration to methods or interseeding to encourage the <br />establishment of woody species. <br />If you have any questions concerning the content of this review, please call me or Janet <br />Binns at (303) 866-3567. <br />Sincerely, <br />~ ~ ~~ <br />Barbara L Pavlik <br />Environmental Protection Specialist <br />m:\coal\blp\c81018.veg <br />
