Table 3.6-4. OSD4 Soil Conservation Service (1977) recd mecdations for seeding sites in Moffat CA)unty in Zone <br />III (refer to Figure 3.6-1). <br />Characteristics of 7one III: <br />Precipitation - Moderately moist, from 15 to 20 inches. Climate - Moderately cold. <br />Elevation - Fran 6,500 to 9,000 feet. <br />Nearly all soils in this zone are deep. About 70 percent of the zone consists of soils that have dark <br />colored loan surface layers and loan or clay loan subsoils. Lime is generally at a depth of about 20 to 30 <br />inches. Other important deep soils are those having thin loan or clay loan surface layers about 4 to 6 <br />inches thick and clay loan or clay subsoils. These soils are formed fran shale derived materials. 8nall <br />areas of deep loany soils having thin, dark loan surface layers aid loan or clay loan subsoils are also <br />present. <br />Growth Dcposure Seeding rate Palatability Special Motes and <br />Species and varieties habit(1) (2) PLS7acre (4) conditions remarks <br />w Grasses <br />Basin wildrye (17) <br />NB <br />N <br />11 <br />Moderate <br />bearded wheatgrass <br />NB <br />IS <br />(20) <br />Moderate <br />big bluegrass <br />NS <br />N <br />2 <br />High <br />bloebunch wheatgrass (17) <br />NB <br />15 <br />19 <br />High <br />Ohlunbla needlegrass <br />NB <br />IS <br />(20) <br />High <br />crested wiieatgrass (Mordant) <br />IB <br />NS <br />10 <br />Moderate <br />Fairwr y �heatgrass (Fairway) <br />IB <br />MS <br />6 <br />Low <br />green needlegrass (Lodorn) <br />NB <br />NS <br />10 <br />High <br />hard fescue (Ducar) <br />IB <br />15 <br />8 <br />LOW <br />Idaho fescue <br />NB <br />NS <br />(20) <br />High <br />Indian ricegrass (Palana) <br />NB <br />NS <br />12.5 <br />High <br />intermediate wheatgrass (Oahe/Anur) <br />LS <br />1S <br />20 <br />Moderate <br />prairie Junegrass <br />NB <br />NS <br />(20) <br />Moderate <br />Kentucky bluegrass <br />LS <br />N <br />1 <br />High <br />nuttongrass <br />NB <br />IS <br />(20) <br />High <br />cunt. next page. <br />Shady Areas <br />(5)(7) <br />(5)(6) <br />(6)(19) <br />(5)(6)(19) <br />(5)(6) <br />(6) <br />(5)(6)(19) <br />(5)(6) <br />(5)(6)(8) <br />(19) <br />(6) <br />(5) <br />(6)(19) <br />(5)(6) <br />
