. SPECIES DIVERSITY STANDARD <br /> ALL AREAS <br /> The species diversity standard for all areas to be reve- <br /> getated will be determined for each affected area vegetation type <br /> from analysis of the 1980 baseline data. <br /> The relative cover method now approved by Mined Land Reclama- <br /> tion will be utilized as outlined in the MLRD letter contained <br /> on the following two pages. By this method, the number of species <br /> having a relative cover greater than 3 percent will determine the <br /> diversity standard. Thus, the total number of species with a <br /> relative cover of 3 percent or greater represents the standard <br /> for that vegetation. <br /> • <br /> (Stipulation 21) <br /> (Vol. 6, Sec.
