3.0 RESULTS <br />3.1 Phase III Summary (Year 1) <br />Tabular results of collected (and transformed) data for the aforementioned sampling efforts are <br />presented at the rear of this document (Appendix A) on Tables 1 through 15. Tables 1, 2, and 3 present <br />summarized data whereas Tables 4 — 8 present raw cover data, Tables 9 - 13 present raw production <br />data, and Tables 14 and 15 present raw woody plant density data. Charts 1, 2, and 3 (also shown <br />below) present summaries of collected data as well as comparison of Hamilton Mine parameters with <br />reference area derived criteria and standards. Chart 1 (ground cover) indicates a substantial exceedance <br />for Mine Area No. 1 (51% greater than the reference area derived criterion) and a reasonable <br />exceedance for Mine Area No. 3 (20% greater than the reference area derived criterion). Chart 2 <br />(production) also indicates a substantial exceedance for both Mine Areas with regard to perennial <br />production. Mine Area No. 1 exceeds the reference area derived success criterion by 295% whereas <br />Mine Area No. 3 exceeds the criterion by 165 %. Chart 3 (diversity) indicates that both Mine Areas No. 1 <br />and No. 3 each exceed the diversity standards set in permitting documents by 2 taxa with between 3% <br />and 40% relative cover. <br />CEDAR CREEK ASSOCIATES, Inc.
