www.bio-geo.com <br />Comparison to standard. Sample adequacy was not demonstrated in the reference area or in <br />the reclaimed area. The reclaimed area mean (441.7 lb/acre) exceeds Q (50.6 lb/acre), and at <br />least 30 samples were taken in each area. Therefore, the two-sample reverse-null test with <br />Satterthwaite approximations (see Section 2.3, Statistical Methods, procedure #4) was used to <br />compare the reclaimed area mean to Q. Table 8 shows the values for the t-test. Because tc is <br />greater than tt, the null hypothesis is rejected, reclaimed area production is shown to exceed Q, <br />and revegetation is deemed successful for production in the Dryland Pasture reclaimed area for <br />2008. <br />4.0 SUMMARY OF CONLUSIONS <br />For the Irrigated Pasture and Dryland Pasture reclaimed areas, vegetation cover and production <br />are shown to be successful for purposes of Phase 3 bond release in both 2007 and 2008. 2007 <br />and 2008 are Year 9 and Year 10 of the eligibility period following completion of reclamation <br />activities. <br />• <br />20
