units were systematically sampled with ground cover transects, co- located with an herbaceous production <br />sample, and a woody plant density belt transect. Furthermore, the Shadscale and Greasewood Reference <br />Areas each received 20 ground cover transects and 30 production samples to facilitate collection of a <br />more robust sample. In addition to the sampling effort, current conditions existing at the time of field <br />work were documented by photos of several representative areas and the reference areas to provide a <br />visual demonstration of site - conditions (Photo Plates 1 — 20 in Appendix A). Nomenclature for plant taxa <br />follows Weber and Whitman (1996) and lifeform classification regarding sub - shrubs follows Wyoming <br />DEQ (1999). <br />Cedar Creek Associates, Inc. 2 Snowcap Mine - 2011 <br />Phase III Bond Release Evaluation - Year 1 <br />
