With regard to Test A, a determination of PASS was made because the species with the greatest <br />relative cover (Thinopyrum intermedium) had 21.29 percent relative cover (far less than the 60 <br />percent limit). <br />With regard to Test B, <br />Probability-adjusted Weighted Reference Area Species Density = 25.31 <br />Phase II Bond Release Block Species Density = 19.9 +/- 1.14 <br />Since the bond release block number does not exceed the standard, a determination of FAIL is <br />made. <br />With regard to Test C, the similarity of the species density by life form of the Phase II bond <br />release block to that of the weighted reference area mean was 0.88, exceeding the standard of <br />0.65 and indicating a PASS for this test. <br />With regard to Test D, the weighted average species density of native species per 100 sq.m. is <br />28.7. The cumulative number of native species in the eleven 100 sq.m. samples of the Phase II <br />bond release block (that constitute a minimally adequate sample) is 42, exceeding 28.7 and <br />indicating a PASS on this test. Within the twenty-one 100 sq.m. samples taken in total bond <br />release block, the total number of native species encountered was 44. <br />Hence three out of the four tests of species diversity were passed, an overall determination of <br />PASS is indicated. See Appendix 5 for further details in calculation of the results discussed <br />above. <br />14
