• -3- <br />Exit B1 (page 2 of 3) <br />Permeability of the Stoneham soil is moderate. Available water capacity <br />is high. Effective rooting depth is 60 inches or mnore. Runoff is rapid, <br />and the hazard of water erosion is high. The hazard of soil blowing is <br />hiq h. <br />This unit is used mainly for native rangeland and wildlife habitat. It <br />is also used for gravel and raid fill. <br />The potential plant mm*iunity on this unit is mainly blue grams, s.idea3ts <br />greuna, and needleandthread. The average annual production of sir-dry <br />vegetation ranges fmn 900 to 1,200 pounds. If the range is Overgrazed, the <br />proportim of preferred forage plants decrease and the proportirn of less <br />preferred forage plants increases. Therefore, livestock grazing slnuld be <br />managed so that the desired balance of preferred species is maintained in the <br />ple~nt camnunity. <br />_ The suitability of this unit for rangeland seeding is poor. The main <br />limitations for seeding are slope and droughtiness. Livestock grazing should <br />be managed to protect the unit fran excessive erosion. <br />This unit is poorly suited to windbreaks and environmental plantings. <br />The main limitations are slope and droughtiness. <br />This unit is poorly suited to hanesite development. If this unit is used <br />fox homesite development, the main limitations are slope and the hazard of <br />erosion. <br />This map unit is in capability subclass VIIe. The Schamber soil is in <br />Gravel Breaks range site, arr] the Stoneham soil is in Loamy Slopes range <br />site. <br />i <br />
