• EXHIBIT 5 <br />CONCLUSIONS <br />At the proposed CAM- Colorado LLC Unit Train Loadout site, intensive vegetation studies <br />were conducted on three potential predisturbance vegetation types. As summarized in Table <br />2.04.10 -2, Sample Adequacy Calculations, a significant number of samples relative to total <br />plant cover, total herbaceous forage production and shrub density were collected for the <br />Greasewood major plant community type which will be affected by this proposed action to <br />describe this vegetation type with respect to statistically describe these sites to the required <br />levels of sample adequacy. Sample adequacy was achieved for total plant cover sampling at <br />the 90 percent confidence interval, or to the minimum sample size recommended by the <br />CDRMS for the Greasewood, Wetland and Riparian predisturbance vegetation types and on the <br />Greasewood Reference Areas. Therefore, it can be concluded that these sites were adequately <br />sampled for the parameter of total plant cover. <br />With respect to potential revegetation success standards, it was determined that the proposed <br />Greasewood Reference Area will be adequate for all of the proposed disturbance associated <br />with this project. <br />• <br />0 17 <br />
