3. For the species diversit "Alternative Test B—Total Species Densit Test', it is our <br />understandin that the "mean reference area species densit and "standard deviation IT <br />parameters emplo would need to be defined as liarea wei mean reference area <br />species densit and "area wei reference area species densit standard deviation <br />when emplo in situations where a reclaimed block is bein compared to a wei <br />avera standard derived from multiple reference area communit t as would be <br />the case for reclaimed area shrub g rassland and mesic draina bond release blocks). <br />If this is the case, please revise the wordin to confirm. If our understandin is <br />not what was intended, please provide additional explanation to clarif and justif <br />4. Similar to Item 3, our understandin of "Alternative Test D—Assessment of the <br />Presence of Native Species", is that the cumulative number of native species in the data <br />set for a reclaimed area bond release block would be compared to the area wei <br />reference area species densit in the case of reclaimed shrub g rassland or mesic <br />draina bond release blocks). In other words, the total number of native species in a <br />statisticall ade sample of the bond release block would need to e or exceed <br />the wei avera n of native species per 10 0 s meters in the extended <br />reference area, based on a statisticall ade sample of each component ve <br />t within the extended reference area. If this is the case, please revise the wordin <br />to confirm. If our understandin is not what was intended, please provide <br />additional explanation to clarif and justify. <br />
