Revegetation Results and Data Analysis <br />A summary of the final data collected for cover and production for 2005 and 2006 is shown <br />below in Table D. <br />Table D <br />Referring to Table D, in each case, for the vegetation to be deemed successful with regard <br />to cover and production, the value highlighted in yellow must be larger than the value <br />immediately above it highlighted in pink. In 2005, vegetative cover on the pastureland <br />reclaimed area (39.9%) exceeded the 90`h percentile of the cover on the pastureland <br />reference area (32.8%). The reclaimed rangeland cover (28.0%) far exceeded the 90'h <br />percentile cover on the rangeland reference area (17.7%). For production data collected in <br />2005 on the irrigated pastureland, the reclaimed area sample mean (1822 Ibs/acre) <br />exceeded 90% of the irrigated pastureland reference area sample mean (1816 Ibs/acre). <br />For production data collected in 2005 on the reclaimed rangeland, the sample mean (1177 <br />Ibs/acre) far exceeded 90% of the rangeland reference area sample mean (321 Ibs/acre). <br />The species diversity standard was achieved in the 2005 reclaimed rangeland as <br />documented in Table A-6 of the application/bond release report. Contributing cool season <br />grasses were smooth brome, western wheatgrass and slender wheatgrass. Warm season <br />grasses were blue grama and sideoats grama. The forb was alfalfa.
