If the data shows that revegetation success has been met, the permittee shall submit the data to the Department for review in the format shown in Addenda B, C, and O.
When the data indicates that the average ground cover and average forage production was insufficient, but close to the standards, the permittee may submit the data to the Department to determine if the production was acceptable when statistically compared to the standards using a t-test at a ninety percent statistical confidence interval. See Appendices B, O, and P.
Raw yield data from reclaimed (mined) areas and raw data from reference (unmined) areas must be oven dried to remove moisture. This must be done before statistical comparisons can be made.
