S. Savage <br /> RE: Vegetation Sampling Report for Coal Basin Mine (C-017-81 ) <br /> Pursuant to your request I ave reviewed the baseline vegetation sampling <br /> results in the report prepa%d by Intermountain Soils for the proposed Sutey <br /> refuse area, the proposed gas well road, and the proposed rock tunnel portal <br /> at the Coal Basin Mines. <br /> The sampling methodologies �mployed are acceptable. The sample adequacy <br /> determinations employed were conservative and yielded acceptable sampling <br /> levels with the exception of woody plant density sampling for the Aspen <br /> community of the Sutey prop rty, and the Spruce-Meadow community along the <br /> proposed gas well road. (See Table 1 . ) Ten and twenty woody plant density <br /> samples were taken at the Sutey Aspen community and Spruce-Meadow community <br /> respectively. Woody plant density was not sampled at the Sutey Meadow <br /> community or Meadow Referen e area. The Meadow community and Meadow Reference <br /> Area were comparable for ve etative cover and herbaceous production at a 95% <br /> statistical level of confidence. <br /> I have included a compilation of parameter values in Table 1 for your <br /> convenience. <br /> /fw <br /> Doc.
