United States Natural Resources Soil Survey Office <br /> Department of Conservation 248 Dozier Ave <br /> Agriculture Service Canon City Co 81212 <br /> SUBJECT: Soils information sec. 30 & DATE: January 23, 1998 <br /> 31 of T. 13S. , R. 69 W. Fill <br /> TO: Greg Loop <br /> PK Enterprises <br /> P.O Box 378 F <br /> Divide, Co 80814 <br /> As you requested in our telephone conversation on Wednesday, <br /> please find enclosed soils and seeding information for section <br /> 30, T. 13 S. , R. 69 W. You will find a map unit description <br /> (SG)=Catamount-Guffey complex, and two taxonomic unit <br /> descriptions: Catamount and Guffey. I have also included a copy <br /> of sheets 15 and 18 from the Pike National Forest-Eastern Part <br /> Soil Survey. The area you are interested in is delineated as <br /> (6) . The (6) delineation is the Catamount soil. <br /> The Forest Service lands are used only for a limited number of <br /> activities, therefore-there is less of a need to map these soils <br /> to great detail as we do for private lands. As a result, we <br /> often have slight differences when two such survey areas meet. '; <br /> Along the match line, the Teller-Park Soil Survey has mapped a [ <br /> complex of two soils. The dominant soil in that complex being <br /> the Catamount soil. The minor component in that complex being <br /> the Guffey soil. These two soils are nearly identical, but our <br /> rigorous taxonomy allows that they be separated. The Forest <br /> Service maps the area only as Catamount soil. These details are <br /> hardly worth mentioning, but I thought I would bring them to your D <br /> attention for better understanding of our products. <br /> If you use Catamount soil parameters in your proposal you will be (� <br /> quite accurate. The information on soil reconstruction material �J <br /> for drastically disturbed areas was intended for surface mining <br /> reclamation, but it will give you some idea of limiting factors. f1 <br /> I hope this information is helpful. Please call me at (719) 686- <br /> 9405 if you have any questions. <br /> I would like to visit the site in a year or so to observe the re- �1 <br /> vegetation. I feel your project could be a valuable learning �J <br /> tool for the Natural Resources Conservation Service. I look <br /> forward to working with you again in the future. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Melissa R.
