fran neutral to mildly alkaline in reaction. The A horizon ranges fran 16 to 40 inches in thiGmess. Bg - Bangston fine sand, 1 to 10 percent slopes. This soil is on hills and du*:ciike Lopography on uplands. Included with this soil in mapping are a few small areas of soils that have shale or sandstone at a depth of 40 to 60 inches, small areas of soils that have slopes of as much as 25 percent, and small areas of a nearly level fine sandy loam on terraces. Runoff is slow. The hazard of soil blowing is severe, and the hazard of water erosion is moderate. Most of the acreage of this soil is in native grass and is used for grazing. A small acreage is irrigated and used for grass hay and pasture. If this soil is irrigated, an organic mat 1 to 4 inches thick generally forms on the surface and bright, rust-colored mottles form throughout the profile. Capability units VIe-5, non-irrigated, and VIe-10, irrigated; Sandy Bench • range site. TINE SERIES The Tine series consists of deep, well drained soils that formed in coarse textured alluvium. The soils are underlain by gravelly loamy sand at a depth of 15 to 25 inches. They are on terraces and outwash plains between elevations of 7,900 and 8,400 feet. Slopes are 2 to 5 percent. The native vegetation is mainly needleandthread, pine needlegrass, muttongrass, blue grama, sheep fescue, streambank wheatgrass, Sandberg bluegrass, bitterbrush, and big sagebrush. The mean annual precipitation is 12 to 15 inches, the mean annual air temperature is 36° to 38° F, and the frost-free season is 35 to 40 days. yer is brown sandy loam about 12 inches thick. The upper part of the underlying material is brown loamy fine sand about 6 inches thick, and the lower part, to a depth of about 60 inches, is brown gravelly loamy sand. Permeability is rapid, and available water capacity is low. E-2
