U. id d:u!.t~ .79:i~ ~.IfCr. <br />Drainage: Well drained, unless influenced by foreign sources of water. <br />Slope: 3 to 12 percent <br />Soil Profile: Texture Thickness Permeabilit -- <br />Surface: Stony loam 0-4 inches Moderate .6 to 2.0"/hr.) <br />Subsoil: Gravelly clay <br />loam 4-20 inches Moderate (.6 to 2.0"/hr.) <br />Underlying material is gravelly and cobbly looms to 60 inches or more. <br />Bedrock is greater than 60 feet. <br />Available water capacity for the 60 inch rooting depth is 6.6 inches. <br />Water table depth is greater than 6 feet. <br />Erosion Hazard: Moderate from water,slight from wind. Frequency of <br />flooding is none. <br />Capability Unit: IVe irrigated; VIe nonirrigated <br />Range Site: Loamy foothills <br />Normal production is 1100 lbs/acre dry weight forages <br />Other features: <br />Medium to rapid runoff. <br />Soil pH is 6.6 to 8.4. <br />Salinity is less than 2 Mmhos/cm <br />Low-moderate-low shrink=swell potential, for the three respective profiles. <br />Moderate to high risk of corrosion for uncoated steel and low for con- <br />' Crete. <br />Fair for roadfill because of low strength and shrink-swell. <br />Unsuitable for sand and gravel and a poor source of topsoil because of <br />small stones. <br />The following describes the severity of restrictive soil features for proposed <br />uses: <br />Septic tank absorption fields Slight <br />Sewage lagoon areas Severe Slope <br />Sanitary landfill Slight <br />Daily cover for landfill Fair Small stones <br />Shallow excavations Moderate Small stones <br />Dwellings w/o basements Moderate Shrink-swell <br />Dwellings w/basements Moderate Shrink-swell <br />Small commercial buildings Moderate Slope, shrink-swell <br />Local roads and streets Moderate Shrink-swell, low strength <br />(over) <br />
