Box 158 <br /> Carbondale, Colorado 81623 <br /> RE: Revegetation Success Standards - Coal Basin Mines <br /> Our File No. C-017-81 <br /> Dear Mr. Bowman: <br /> As you requested in a meeting on September 28, 1982, the Division has <br /> developed a scope of work for each of two proposed studies relating to <br /> revegetation success standards. <br /> The vegetation analysis as outlined in the scope of work would have to be <br /> done in the summer of 1983 and the mine bench outslope study would have <br /> to be started in 1983. <br /> Also, as we discussed briefly, the woody plant densities measured in the <br /> surrounding unaffected area are very high and irapracticle to attain. There- <br /> fore, the Division suggests that the woody plant density standards be set <br /> at 100 trees/acre and 50C shrubs per acre for each of the three major <br /> vegetation types. <br /> The herbaceous cover and production standards would then be the amount <br /> measured in the surround-ing vegetation types. If you agree to these standards, <br /> the permit application should be updated accordingly. <br /> If you have any questions, please call. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> J_i 71 ,,on J <br /> Reclamation Specialist <br /> JH:ys <br /> cc: Mike Savage <br />
