Map Unit Description(Brief,Generated)---Washington County,Colorado Sec-5,Twn-5S,Rng-49W <br /> The Aida variant component makes up 80 percent of the map unit. Slopes are 0 to <br /> 2 percent. This component is on alluvial valley floors on flood plains, perenial <br /> streams on flood plains. The parent material consists of alluvium. Depth to a root <br /> restrictive layer is greater than 60 inches. The natural drainage class is somewhat <br /> poorly drained.Water movement in the most restrictive layer is high.Available water <br /> to a depth of 60 inches (or restricted depth) is low. Shrink-swell potential is low. <br /> This soil is occasionally flooded. It is not ponded.A seasonal zone of water <br /> saturation is at 30 inches during March,April, May. Organic matter content in the <br /> surface horizon is about 3 percent. This component is in the R067BY035CO Salt <br /> Meadow ecological site. Nonirrigated land capability classification is 4c. Irrigated <br /> land capability classification is 4s. This soil does not meet hydric criteria. The <br /> calcium carbonate equivalent within 40 inches,typically,does not exceed 8 percent. <br /> The soil has a slightly saline horizon within 30 inches of the soil surface. The soil <br /> has a maximum sodium adsorption ratio of 5 within 30 inches of the soil surface. <br /> Component: Paoli (20%) <br /> Generated brief soil descriptions are created for major soil components. The Paoli <br /> soil is a minor component. <br /> Map Unit: 3—Ascalon sandy loam, 0 to 3 percent slopes <br /> Component:Ascalon (85%) <br /> The Ascalon component makes up 85 percent of the map unit. Slopes are 0 to 3 <br /> percent. This component is on plains, broad, flat interfluves. The parent material <br /> consists of wind-reworked alluvium and/or calcareous sandy eolian deposits.Depth <br /> to a root restrictive layer is greater than 60 inches. The natural drainage class is <br /> well drained. Water movement in the most restrictive layer is moderately high. <br /> Available water to a depth of 60 inches (or restricted depth) is moderate. Shrink- <br /> swell potential is low. This soil is not flooded. It is not ponded. There is no zone of <br /> water saturation within a depth of 72 inches. Organic matter content in the surface <br /> horizon is about 1 percent. This component is in the R067BY024CO Sandy Plains <br /> ecological site. Nonirrigated land capability classification is 4c. Irrigated land <br /> capability classification is 3e. This soil does not meet hydric criteria. The calcium <br /> carbonate equivalent within 40 inches,typically, does not exceed 8 percent.There <br /> are no saline horizons within 30 inches of the soil surface. <br /> Component: Olnest(10%) <br /> Generated brief soil descriptions are created for major soil components.The Olnest <br /> soil is a minor component. <br /> Component: Vona(5%) <br /> Generated brief soil descriptions are created for major soil components. The Vona <br /> soil is a minor component. <br /> Map Unit: 4—Ascalon sandy loam, 3 to 9 percent slopes <br /> USDA Natural Resources Web Soil Survey 9/14/2016 <br /> Conservation Service National Cooperative Soil Survey Page 2 of 8 <br />
