Rapping Unit Absarokee-Work loams
Position: Steeper slopes, small ridges on the uplands and
valley sideslopes
Drainage: Hell drained
Slope: 6-25 percent
Soil Profile: Te:cture Thickness Permeability
Surface: loam 0-7 inches hloderate (.6-2.0"/hr.)
Subsoil: clay 7-30 inches Slow and very slow

Underlying material is channery clay loam and is over sandstone between 20
and 40 inches. Bedrock is 20-40 inches.
Available water capacity for the 30" rooting depth is 4.7 inches. water
table depth is greater than 72 inches.

Salinity .is less til.in 2 i~;m~os/c m.
Shrink-swell potential is mod_rate to high.
Risk of corrosion is high for uncoated steel and low for concrete.
Low frost action potential.
Poor for roadfill because of shrink-swell, low strength; thin layers.
Unsuitable for sand and gravel and a poor source of topsoil b=cause of slope,
small stones, and too clayey.
