Map Unit Description(Brief,Generated)--El Paso County Area,Colorado Ellicot Sand and Gravel-Schubert <br /> Ranch <br /> The Blakeland component makes up 8 percent of the map unit. Slopes are 3 to 9 <br /> percent. This component is on shoulders and backslopes of hills on uplifted <br /> piedmonts, sideslopes and crests of interfluves on uplifted piedmonts. The parent <br /> material consists of alluvium and/or eolian deposits derived from arkose. Depth <br /> to a root restrictive layer is greater than 60 inches. The natural drainage class is <br /> somewhat excessively drained.Water movement in the most restrictive layer is <br /> high.Available water to a depth of 60 inches(or restricted depth)is low. 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 <br /> surface horizon is about 2 percent. This component is in the R049BY21000 <br /> Sandy Foothill ecological site. Nonirrigated land capability classification is 6s. <br /> Irrigated land capability classification is 6s. This soil does not meet hydric criteria. <br /> There are no saline horizons within 30 inches of the soil surface. <br /> Component: Bresser(7%) <br /> The Bresser component makes up 7 percent of the map unit. Slopes are 3 to 9 <br /> percent. This component is on baseslopes of interfluves on uplifted piedmonts, <br /> toeslopes or footslopes of low hills on uplifted piedmonts. The parent material <br /> consists of tertiary aged alluvium derived from arkose. Depth to a root restrictive <br /> layer is greater than 60 inches. The natural drainage class is well drained. Water <br /> movement in the most restrictive layer is moderately high.Available water to a <br /> depth of 60 inches(or restricted depth)is low. Shrink-swell potential is low. This <br /> soil is not flooded. It is not ponded.There is no zone of water saturation within a <br /> depth of 72 inches. Organic matter content in the surface horizon is about 2 <br /> percent. This component is in the R049BY21000 Sandy Foothill ecological site. <br /> Nonirrigated land capability classification is 6e. Irrigated land capability <br /> classification is 6e. This soil does not meet hydric criteria. There are no saline <br /> horizons within 30 inches of the soil surface. <br /> Map Unit: 101—Ustic Torrifluvents, loamy <br /> Component: Ustic Torrifluvents(85%) <br /> The Ustic Torrifluvents component makes up 85 percent of the map unit. Slopes <br /> are 0 to 3 percent. This component is on stream terraces,flood plains. The <br /> parent material consists of sandy,clayey, stratified loamy. Depth to a root <br /> restrictive layer is greater than 60 inches.The natural drainage class is well <br /> 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 <br /> surface horizon is about 1 percent. This component is in the R069XY037CO <br /> Saline Overflow ecological site. Nonirrigated land capability classification is 3e. <br /> Irrigated land capability classification is 2e. This soil does not meet hydric criteria. <br /> The calcium carbonate equivalent within 40 inches, typically, does not exceed 6 <br /> percent. There are no saline horizons within 30 inches of the soil surface. <br /> Component: Pleasant(%) <br /> Natural Resources Web Soil Survey 3/27/2018 <br /> Conservation Service National Cooperative Soil Survey Page 5 of 6 <br /> 32 <br />
