• Volume III, Tab 7 <br />2.5 Map Unit 6: Steep Mountainsides stony sandy clay loam, a typic Torriorthent — <br />Sandstone Rock Outcrop Complex <br />Map Unit 6 (Steep Mountainsides stony sandy clay loam — Sandstone Rock Outcrop <br />Complex) is similar to NRCS Map Unit 75 (Torrio rth ents- Rock Outcrop, sandstone, <br />complex). Map Unit 6 is mapped on steep to very steep mountain sideslopes and <br />sandstone rock outcrop in the northern part of the Gob Pile study area, and corresponds <br />to the area mapped as "Dry Mountain Shrub" on the Bowie vegetation map. The southern <br />edge of Map Unit 6 is the Rollins sandstone outcrop which traverses across the northern <br />study area from northeast to the west central part. The area of Map Unit 6 is not <br />projected to be disturbed by Gob Pile activities, and Mountainsides stony sandy clay loam <br />was not sampled for laboratory analysis. The soil is very similar to Woodlands stony <br />sandy clay loam (Map Unit 1) and could be salvaged to 30 inches if the area were to be <br />disturbed. Sandstone rock outcrop has no soil for salvage, and would be avoided during <br />salvage activities. <br />• 3.0 REFERENCES <br />Champion, Daniel F. 1995. Soils Report, Bowie Area. Daniel F.
