Binns, Janet <br />From: Binns, Janet <br />Sent: Wednesday, January 04, 2012 8:30 AM <br />To: 'Linda Saunders' <br />Subject: your request dated 1 -3 -2012 <br />Hello Linda, <br />I am glad you found the data you requested. I was certain had sent that to you previously. <br />c) F1 —0 ?) 9 <br />Plant cover is reported in % cover and relative cover. % cover represents the % that plant species covers the surface of <br />the soil of the area being sampled. % relative cover represents the percentage a particular species contributes to the <br />overall vegetative cover. <br />"CHRNAU" is a shorthand for "Chrysothamnus nauseousus ", common name Rabbitbrush. <br />The last I spoke with George Patterson of Energy Fuels Coal Company, no -one from Energy Fuels plans to attend this <br />informational meeting, since this is purely a meeting between DRMS and the Vento group to answer the questions you <br />had asked previously. <br />You asked to include Hydrology concerns as well. I am unsure which questions you have regarding the hydrology other <br />than the new ones you asked last week. Please remember that the Division's hydrologist is unavailable for the meeting <br />on January 9, 2012, and any new questions you will need to allow the Division time to research the answer. Perhaps the <br />best way for the Division to answer your hydrology questions is for the Vento group to consolidate all your questions in <br />one document, provide them to us on Monday, then we will research the answers and provide written responses to you. <br />jamt H . gi,vuvts <br />Environmental Protection Specialist II <br />Colorado Division of Reclamation Mining and Safety <br />phone: (303) 866 -3567 ext. 8107 <br />fax: (303) 832 -8106 <br />From: Linda Saunders Finailto:saunders6150live.coml <br />Sent: Tuesday, January 03, 2012 10:32 AM <br />To: Binns, Janet <br />Subject: MISSING DATA- Tree and Shrub Plant Density counts by Kent for the Propsed Mine Portal Reference Area <br />I am missing the data for the Tree and Shrub Plant Density (which he is combining and not evaluating separately) for the <br />Proposed Mine Portal Reference Area. <br />Was this included in the original report submitted to the Division? <br />Please email me a copy so I can compare it with the Plant Cover % report. <br />Also why is the Plant Cover reported in % Relative Composition and not Basal Vegetation Cover? <br />How do we tell if CHRNAU as reported is Rabbit Brush or Four - Winged Salt Bush? <br />This makes it difficul to evaluate. <br />Thanks <br />Linda <br />
