Alternatively, all trucks loaded with the bales can be weighed on a certified scale to determine <br />a total harvest weight, which is then divided by the total number of acres to determine a <br />production per acre. <br />61 4 Revegetation Standards - Irrigated Cropland <br />Three years of vegetation sampling will occur starting in Year 9 after initial seeding. An average <br />of the 3 years 1 "cut production_ will be calculated and compared to the fixed production standard <br />of 1.84 tons per acre for the 1" cut. Revegetation will be deemed adequate if herbaceous <br />production at the reclaimed site is equal to or greater than the standard in tons per acre in at <br />least 3 of 5 years, in conformance with CDMG Regulation 4.15.9. Regulation 4.25 for Prime <br />Farmland and the Harvest Method described above The reclaimed block production as <br />measured by the total harvest method must equal or exceed 100% of the standard with a 90% <br />statistical confidence interval. <br />The average of the 3 years of reclaimed area production will be compared to a the standard <br />f 1.84 tons per acre Revegetation will <br />be considered "successful' if the mean value forthe reclaimed site can be demonstrated to equal <br />or exceed "Q" (Q= 100 %ofthe S standard of 1.84 tons per acre with a 90% <br />confidence intenA One of the following four methods will be used to compare mean values at <br />reclaimed sites to Q, depending on the mean values and whether sample adequacy was reached <br />during sampling. <br />1) If sample adequacy exists atin the area year average and the site year mean is equal to <br />or greater than Q, no statistical comparison is necessary and revegetation at the site will be <br />deemed successful for the herbaceous production. This complies with the provisions of DRMS <br />Regulation 4.15.11(2)(a). <br />PR -06 May 2010 2.05.4(2)(e) - 42 <br />
