63-estimated based on average bale weights (using 15 -30 samples) in years 3.6.8 after seeding. <br />This data will also be used to determine fertilization of the IC fields as described in subsection <br />4.0. Final full bond release monitoring will occur in years 9.10 an11 after seeding. <br />6.2 Reclaimed Irrigated PastaroPastureland Success Standards The revegetation success <br />standards for this type are based on the establishment of iReclaimed Irrigated <br />pastuePastureland as the postmining land use. Reclaimed Irrigated pastumEastureland should <br />be able to attain a good level of productivity with only one to two grasses and a legume under <br />continuing and adequate management inputs. This includes scheduled irrigation, annual <br />fertilization based on soils tests and plant needs, and grazing management or proper harvest <br />methods. As stated earlier in the discussion on revegetation of the iReclaimed Irrigated <br />pest" asturelandtype, annualfertilizationofiReclaimedInigatedpostuesPasturelandsispart <br />of the normal husbandry applied to maintain vigor and productivity. The requirements for <br />establishment of woody plant densities, species diversity, and seasonal variety are irrelevant to <br />the iReclaimed Irrigated pasMrePastureland vegetation type and postmining land use. Therefore, <br />the standards of revegetation success for the iReclaimed Irrigated pastbmEastureland type will <br />be based on production and "live cover". <br />As can be seen in Table 2.05.4(2)(e) -4, all local farmers harvest their irrigated fields at least one <br />time during the year. There are a few farmers that attempt a second and third cutting but the <br />majority of the production comes from the 1st cutting. The success standard for WFC's <br />iReclaimed Irrigated pasttuePastureland will involve statistically adequate sampling based <br />comparison to the approved reference area. The sampling will be conducted a single time during <br />late May -eady June (immediately priorto 1 "cut harvest of the reclaimed fields; with reference <br />and reclaimed areas to be sampled within a 7 day time frame.) It needs to be emphasized that <br />PR -06 May 2010 2.05.4(2)(e) - 47 <br />
