C -2010 -089 <br />New Horizon North Mine <br />2.04.10 Vegetation Information <br />PARNos. 1- IA -IB, 2- 2A -2B, 3 <br />Page 24 of 60 <br />1. The diversity standard Proposed in PAP Sec. 2.04. 10 p. 4 is unclear. Please elaborate on the <br />proposed diversity standard stated as "The reclaimed plant community shall be composed of <br />at least the dominant species comprising at least 5 % of the relative plant cover." <br />The NI-12 and NHN mines have two different permits and the species diversity standards <br />need to be listed separately in each_pernlit. It is understandable that the standards will be <br />the same for both permits, however, for consistency, accuracy and autonomy between <br />permits, please include the appropriate language for the species diversity standard in the <br />NHN permit instead of referring to the NI-12 permit: <br />t <br />?,.# 0 `� e ,-C "0", C, OF t z >tY iii rr tt s`' <br />Y`h { <br />a. .?.' 00 ii ;i <`lr.:. <br />2. In Section 2.04. 10 (pages 1, 7, and 9 -18), the operator states that there are seven (7) major <br />vegetation communities comprising >5% of the proposed mine area or >10 acres, but then <br />only describes six (6) major vegetation communities. Please bring this section into <br />agreement. Are there seven major communities, or are there six? If there are seven, please <br />include a description of the seventh.
