• The revegetation objective for diversity will be to establish a community on the reclaimed <br />areas that contain the following; <br />a) At ]east four principle species including a minimum of three cool season perennial <br />grasses and a minimum of 1 perennial forb. <br />b) Each principal species shall contribute no less than 3% relative cover <br />c) No single species shall contribute in excess of 50% relative cover. <br />The four species will contribute to the structure and stability of the postmining vegetative <br />community to insure that the postmining land use as addressed in Section 4.16, Post-mining <br />Land Use, will be sustained. <br />The seed mixture in Section 2.05 on Table 7, Reclamation Seed Mixture, contains the desired <br />species to achieve the goal of species diversity in the postmining area. The seed mixture <br />contains 3lspecies of grasses, fortis and shrubs capable of establishing a postmining <br />vegetative community of the same seasonal variety and lifeform as the premine area. The <br />species are adapted to the soils and moisture conditions to be encountered throughout the post <br />mining area and are capable of supporting the desired postmining land use. <br />4.15.9 ReveQetation Success Criteria: Cropland <br />Colowyo does not plan to return any of the mined area for use as cropland; therefore, the <br />requirements of this Subsection are not applicable to Colowyo. <br />• 4.15.10 ReveQetation Success Criteria: Previously Mined Areas: <br />Areas to be Develoued for Industrial or Residential Use <br />Colowyo does not plan to develop any areas to industrial or residential use; therefore, the <br />requirements of this Subsection are not applicable to Colowyo. <br />• <br />4.15-25 Revision Date: 4/96 <br />Revision No.: <br />
