contributing 7.0% and 10.8% relative cover, respectively. Finally, there were no species in the reclaimed <br />areas that had greater than 70% relative cover. <br />In Summary, Phase III areas addressed by this document surpass the success standards <br />for diversity. <br />4.3 Woody Plant Density <br />The woody plant density success criterion on Snowcap reclamation is 800 live shrubs per acre. <br />Table 1 along with Table 6 and Chart 10 display the results from the woody plant populations <br />enumerated in 2011 on Phase III bond release areas. Based on evaluations to date, the shrub density <br />has been determined to be an average of 1,943 stems per acre on Greasewood Comparison Areas and <br />1,800 stems per acre on Shadscale Comparison Areas. In addition, Tables 15 and 16 display results from <br />woody plant density belt transects collected from each sample point in 2011. <br />In Summary, Phase III areas addressed by this document easily surpass the success <br />standard for woody plant density. <br />Cedar Creek Associates, Inc. 22 Snowcap Mine - 2011 <br />Phase III Bond Release Evaluation - Year 1 <br />
