during the 2006 and 2007 sampling years fell within reclamation blocks included in SL-04. The <br />SL-04 reclamation blocks were sampled to adequacy during the 2006 and 2007 sampling years. <br />Colowyo also sampled both the sagebrush and the mountain shrub reference areas to adequacy <br />during both the 2006 and 2007 sampling years. The live vegetative cover average for the SL-04 <br />reclamation blocks exceeded the weighted average of the two reference areas in both 2006 and <br />2007. The live vegetative cover for the Partial Phase II Bond Release SL-04 reclamation blocks <br />is considered successful in accordance with Rule 4.15.7 and Sections 4.15.7 and 4.15.8 of the <br />Colowyo Permit. The following chart shows the 2006 and 2007 vegetation sampling results. <br />Sample Area 2006) % LVCA <br />Mtn Shrub RA 39.9% <br />Sagebrush RA 32.6% <br />Weighted Avg RA 36.6% <br />2008 SL-04 Area 43.9% <br /> <br />A= Live Vegetative <br />Cover <br />Sample Area 2007) % LVCA <br />Mtn Shrub RA 56.4% <br />Sagebrush RA 57.3% <br />Weighted Avg RA 56.8% <br />2008 SL-04 Area 66.0% <br /> <br />A= Live Vegetative <br />Cover <br />Colowyo also sampled all of the reclamation blocks that were included in the Partial Phase II <br />Bond Release SL-04 during the 2008 monitoring year with the exception of reclamation blocks <br />S16010 and S16014. Data collected at all of the transects during the 2008 sampling year fell <br />within reclamation blocks included in SL-04. The SL-04 reclamation blocks were sampled to <br />adequacy during the 2008 sampling year. Colowyo also sampled both the sagebrush and the <br />mountain shrub reference areas to adequacy during the 2008 sampling year. The live vegetative <br />cover average for the SL-04 reclamation blocks exceeded the weighted average of the two <br />reference areas in 2008. The live vegetative cover for the Partial Phase II Bond Release SL-04 <br />reclamation blocks, with the exception of S16010 and S16014, is considered successful in <br />accordance with Rule 4.15.7 and Sections 4.15.7 and 4.15.8 of the Colowyo Permit.
