<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br />/ 654 7 This is a shallow residual soil developing on shale. Soil <br />depth to shale and the silty clay loam texture are the <br />limiting characteristics of this unit. Shallow shale soils <br />in this area have a low water-holding capacity, high erosion <br />hazard, and are susceptible to small slumps. <br /> <br />Gophers are actively churning the soil in this area. Seeding <br />will be hindered by gophers unless. some rodent control is <br />maintained. <br /> <br /> <br />/ 213 / Soil is deep (4 to 7 feet over shale) dark and very fertile. <br />This very productive soil is derived from mixed glacial, col- <br />luvial and outwash material. Soil texture is a gravelly loam <br />a~d the reaction is slightly acid (pH 6.0 to 6.5). <br /> <br />Grasp planting can easily be done on this friable soil by raking <br />and broadcast seeding or drilling. Exposed subsoils from deep <br />cuts and cleared areas may require mulch or topsoil and fertilizer. <br /> <br />Soil Legend <br /> <br />" , / RO' / Area with over 90 percent exposed igneous and sedimentary bedrock <br />(granodiorite and Minturn Formation).
