10129;1999 11:18 F:1_X 1719256~J09 They have moderate to moderately slow permeabilities and dre well drained. These soils usually have a Unified Engineering classification of ML or CL having low to moderate liquid limits and plasticity indexes. Dry bulk densities range from 80 to 100 pounds per cubic foot. Standard penetration blow counts ranged from four to eight when the soils were moist. • SOB These soils have low to moderate bulk densities, low to moderate bear- ing strengths and low to moderate Shrink-swell characteristics. These engineering characteristics should pose no problem for light, one story dwelling structures; however, they should be considered when designing foundations. Other than the above considerations, these soils are gen- erally well suited for high density residential development. The HEW Standard percolation rate at 48 inches ranged from 4.3 to 21.4 minutes per inch. Based on the soil taxonomy of the National Cooperative Soil Classifi- cation System, these soils are clas- sified as fine loamy, mixed family of Typic Cryoborolls. The soil temperature regime is frigid and the moisture regime is aridic. Yegetation consists of short and mid cool season grasses and sage brush. Soil Area 5 Soils in this area are deep looms and clay looms and are usually not underlain by bedrock within 10 feet of the surface. Soils in this area occur on gentle to moderate slopes. They have moderate to moderately Slow permeabilities and are well drained. These soils usually have a Unified Engineering classification of ML or C1, having low to moderate liquid Broad flats of Soil Areas 9 and 5. LOV Mils in background are mainly Soil Area 3.
