-47- <br /> A plan was developed by the applicant and the Division to determine how <br /> much soil cover is required to meet the revegetation success standards. <br /> [he plan calls for quantitative sampling of the reveyetated surface of <br /> the coal processing waste pile in the summer of 1983. Soil cover depths <br /> will be determined, then the vegetation will Lie sampled on various depths <br /> of topsoil . This data will be compared to baseline data to determine the <br /> appropriate soil cover depth. <br /> As previously stated, no topsoil was salvaged when the mines were <br /> opened. The applicant proposes to strip topsoil from a borrow area near <br /> Kline No. 3 to place on the mine benches. Topsoil will ue replaced on the <br /> mine benches to a depth of approximately 12 inches and the borrow area <br /> will be reclaimed. based on previous reveyetation at the mine, this <br /> should be sufficient to meet reveyetation standards. <br /> The proposed operation is in compliance with the requirements of this <br /> section. <br /> X1. Vegetation - kules 2.04. 10, 2.05.4(' ) (e) and 4.15 <br /> Information on vegetation in section III-H, and Appendix I11-H-1 of <br /> Volume b, and the reclamation plan in Chapter V of Volume 7 of the <br /> application were reviewed for compliance. <br /> A reference area was located for each dominant affected area vegetation <br /> type. The three vegetation types for which reference areas were <br /> developed were aspen woodland, aspen shrubland, and spruce/fir parkland. <br /> However, during the course of the review, it was determined that the data <br /> collected from the undisturued vegetation adjacent to the disturbed areas <br /> would be more representative than the reference areas. This data was <br /> collected on a much larger area -than the reference area data. Therefore, <br /> it should be more representative of the disturbed areas than the <br /> reference area data. <br /> kevegetation success standards based on existing adjacent vegetation are <br /> required for the rock tunnel complex, coal refuse pile, the preparation <br /> plant area and the mine benches. The aspen shruoland vegetation type was <br /> chosen as being representative of the preparation plant and the coal <br /> refuse pile; the aspen woodland vegetation type was chosen as Veiny <br /> representative of the rock tunnel complex; and the spruce/fir parkland <br /> vegetation type was chosen as being representative of the mime benches. <br /> The reveyetation success standards for each area are as follows: <br /> 1) Areas to be compared to the aspen woodland vegetation type: <br /> Herbaceous cover - 5b.3% <br /> Herbaceous production - 67.9 y/1112 <br /> Woody plant density - lUU trees, 5UU shrubs/acre <br /> Species diversity - 2 cool season grass species and o forb <br /> species 3/ relative cover <br />
