Given the aforementioned, the revegetation objective for diversity will be to establish a <br />community on the reclaimed areas that contain the following; <br />For areas targeting the livestock grazing subcomponent of the Rangeland Land Use (Pre- <br />2008 reclamation): <br />a) At least two cool season perennial grasses with between 3% and 50% relative <br />cover (composition). <br />b) All forbs combined with between 1% and 50% relative cover (composition). <br />For areas targeting the livestock grazing subcomponent of the Rangeland Land Use (Post- <br />2008 reclamation): <br />a) At least three native* cool season perennial 'grasses with between 3% and 50% <br />relative cover (composition), and <br />b) At least one perennial forb or shrub with between 2% and 50% relative cover <br />(composition), or <br />c) A total of all forbs or all shrubs combined with between 4% and 50% relative <br />cover (composition), or <br />d) If five or more native* cool season perennial grass taxa contribute between 3% <br />and 50% composition, the requirement for perennial forbs and shrubs shall be <br />limited to 1% or more relative cover combined. <br />For areas targeting the wildlife habitat subcomponent of the Rangeland Land Use (Post- <br />2008 reclamation). <br />At least four native* perennial species, each more than 3% composition, minimum of two <br />of which are grasses and a minimum of one which is a forb, with the following caveat; <br />If no single forb species exceeds 3% composition, the forb requirement can be met if. <br />a) at least two native* perennial forbs combined comprise at least 2% composition, <br />or; <br />b) at least four native* perennial forbs combined comprise at least 1% composition. <br />The dominant species will contribute to the appropriate structure and stability of the <br />postmining vegetative community to insure that the postmining land use as addressed in <br />* The limitation to "native" status will not apply to introduced (and CDRMS approved) taxa specifically <br />planted for an approved use (such as Orchard grass or Cicer milkvetch). <br />4.15-27 Revision Date: 3/14/08 <br />Revision No.: TR-72
