Average annual precipitation ranges from 8 to <br />12 inches. The dominant soils in the treatment area are Chipeta complex and Mack loam soils. <br />Chipeta complex soils are highly saline and Mack loam soils are slightly saline. As a result of <br />the higher precipitation the soils in this treatment area have a higher resilience than soils of the <br />same type found lower in the watershed. Seeding potential in this treatment area is more <br />favorable than similar areas lower in the watershed due to the higher precipitation, <br /> <br />TA-4 thm TA-lO, Contour Pits and Cisco Pits- <br /> <br />Treatment Areas 4 thru 10 cover a total area of 7291 acres and are located in the middle to <br />lower portion of the Greater Sagers Wash Watershed, adjacent to Interstate 70. The dominant <br />vegetation in these treatment areas is Atriplex (saltbush). The treatment areas have a south- <br />southeast aspect and the average percent slope is approximately 5%. Average annual <br />precipitation ranges from 5 to 8 inches. The dominant soils in the treatment areas are Chipeta <br />complex, Killpack silt loam, and Killpack-Blueflat complex soils, Chipeta complex soils are <br />strongly saline and Killpack silt loam and Killpack-Blueflat complex soils are moderately saline. <br /> <br />TA-ll, Cisco Pits Maintenance - <br /> <br />Treatment Area 11 covers an area of approximately 6000 acres and is located in the southeast <br />section of the Greater Sagers Wash Watershed. The treatment area is bounded on the south by <br />the main channel of Sagers Wash and on the west by the main channel of Nash Wash, Cisco <br />Pits and contour furrows were constructed in this area during the 1960's and many of the Cisco <br />Pits are still functional, The treatment area has a south-southeast aspect and the average percent <br />slope is approximately 4%. Average annual precipitation ranges from 5 to 8 inches. The <br />dominant vegetation in these treatment areas is Atriplex (saltbush). The dominant soils in the <br />treatment area are Blueflat complex, Blueflat-Neiber complex, and Killpack-Blueflat complex <br />soils. Blueflat complex, Blueflat-Neiber complex, and Killpack-Blueflat complex soils are <br />moderately saline, The existing Cisco Pits have had good success in trapping sediment and <br />diverting overland flow. This treatment presents a good opportunity to enhance approximately <br />25 % of the existing Cisco Pits and increase the overall effectiveness of the existing practice. <br /> <br />TA-12, Water Spreaders - <br /> <br />Treatment Area 12 covers an area of approximately 960 acres located on Sagers Flat, directly <br />adjacent to the main channel of Sagers Wash. The treatment area has a south aspect and the <br />average percent slope is approximately 4%. Average annual precipitation ranges from 5 to 8 <br />inches. The dominant vegetation in this treatment area is Atriplex (saltbush) and Sarcobatus <br />(greasewood). The dominant soils in the treatment area are Toddler-Ravola-Glenton families <br />association soils. Toddler-Rivola-Glenton families association soils are moderately saline. <br />Diverting highly saline runoff water containing large amounts of sediment out of the Sagers <br /> <br />41 <br />
