This item remains incomplete. The Division's review and evaluation of various site <br />specific aspects of the revegetation plan, including "prescribed ecological <br />reclamation" and "targeted sagebrush steppe revegetation", along with associated <br />success standards, will require a Revegetation Plan Map overlaid on the proposed <br />post-mining topography, to illustrate how the concepts would be applied on the <br />ground. Such map is also required to demonstrate that plant groupings are distributed <br />in a manner which optimizes edge effect, cover, and other benefits for fish and <br />wildlife, pursuant to Rule 4.15.1(2)(d) and 4.18(5)(i). In order for this section of the <br />application to be considered, complete, a Revegetation Plan Map for the proposed <br />Collom expansion disturbance area will need to be provided. Inclusion of wildlife <br />enhancement facilities on the map would satisfy the map requirement specified in <br />Item 17, above. <br />Rule 4.16 - Post-Mining Land Use <br />35.
