WFC's responses to the new comments are shown <br />below <br />Item 2: <br />The language on page 27 of Section 2.05.4(2)(e) has been clarified to address the Division's <br />concerns: <br />• Instead of "If production sampling is done along the same transect tape, then a minimum of at <br />three predetermined randomly selected intervals will be used as the production sampling points. " <br />It now says, "When production sampling is done along the same transect tape, then a minimum <br />of at least one, but possibly three, predetermined randomly selected intervals will be used as the <br />production sampling points. " (Changes emphasized) <br />The number of transects (minimum of one, but possibly three) matches the Proposed 2013 Phase II and III <br />Revegtation Monitoring Plan. <br />• The sentence, "Production will be calculated by dividing dry weight by the quadrat frame area in <br />acres, and the mean dry weight per acre calculated. " has been removed <br />The formatting of the revised pages is designed to line them up with the initial MR submittal. <br />This should facilitate incorporating the complete 12 page revision into the existing approved <br />permit. <br />
