<br />. <br /> <br />0;)2:86 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The association has about 65 percent Lithic Ustic Torriorthents, <br /> <br />30 percent Ustic Torriorthents, and 5 percent of unidentified minor soils, <br /> <br />located in the western part of Moffat County, <br /> <br />Lithic Ustic Torriorthents are shallow, well-drained soils on sedimentary <br /> <br />rocks. Typically they have a light-colored; loamy surface layer, Al horizon, <br /> <br />less than 7 inches thick. The substratum, 7-20 inch layer, C horizon, is <br /> <br />a light-colored, loamy material overlying fractured bedrock. Permeability <br /> <br />is rapid; effective rooting depth is less than 20 inches. Available water <br /> <br />capacity is low-very low; surface runoff is rapid, and erosion hazard is <br /> <br />moderate-high. <br /> <br />Ustic Torriorthents are moderately deep, well-drained ,soils on sedi- <br /> <br />mentary rocks, Typically, these soils have a light-colored, loamy surface <br /> <br />,layer, Al horizon, less than 7 inches thick. The substratum, 10-40 inch <br /> <br />layer, C horizons, is a light-colored, calcareous, loamy material overlying <br /> <br />fractured sedimentary bedrock. Permeability is moderate; effective rooting <br /> <br />depth is 20-40 inches. Available water capacity is moderate-high; surface <br /> <br />runoff is rapid, and erosion hazard is moderate-high, <br /> <br />Sediment yield from this association is 0,2-1,0 acre-feet/square <br /> <br />mile/year. These soils are mainly used for range, recreation, and wildlife. <br /> <br />General vegetative type is sagebrush-grass and scattered pinyon-juniper. <br /> <br />Reclamation potential is good. <br /> <br />Lithic Us tic Torriorthents, loamy-Rock outcrop Association, Association <br /> <br />#42 (143,891 acres) <br /> <br />This association consists of moderately-steep to steep soils on <br /> <br />breaks and canyon walls (15-25+ percent slopes). Elevation ranges from <br /> <br />;;'it <br />! <br /> <br />5,000-8,000 feet, Average precipitaion is 8-15 inches; soil moisture <br /> <br />),\ <br />,. <br /> <br />.1 <br />:Il <br />1,li <br />t:{ <br />'I' <br /> <br />:12 <br /> <br />
