<br />Soil type descriptions.
<br />Fluvaquente, Nearly bevel
<br />33--Fluvaquenta, nearly level. This soil is on flood
<br />plains, low terraces, and bottom lands. The surface
<br />and underlying layers are extremely variable, range
<br />from sandy loam to clay loam, and are commonly
<br />stratified with thin layers of sand or clay. In places
<br />the underlying material is sand and gravel. A water
<br />table is commonly at a depth of less than 12 inches at
<br />some time during spring and summer, and the soil is
<br />also flooded occasionally during spring and summer.
<br />Drainage is impractical or impossible because of a
<br />lack of suitable outlets.
<br />Runoff is slight. The hazard of erosion is slight,
<br />although there is some cutting on areas near stream
<br />channels in places.
<br />This soil is suited to pasture or native grasses. A
<br />few areas are used for hay. Capability unit Vw-1, dry-
<br />land; Wet ilfeadow range site; windbreak suitability
<br />group 5.
<br />bt-Loveland clay loam, 0 l0 1 percent slopes. This
<br />level soil is on low terraces and flood plains.
<br />Included with this soil in mapping are a few small
<br />areas of soils that are more sloping, small areas of
<br />soils in which gravel is at a depth of 90 to 60 inches,
<br />and a few small areas of soils that have a surface
<br />]a}•er of loam. Also included are small areas of Poudre
<br />soils.
<br />Runoff is slon•, and the hazard of water erosion is
<br />slight.
<br />If irrigated, this soil is suited to barley and pasture.
<br />If drained, it is suited to corn and, to a lesser extent,
<br />sugar beets. Under dryland management it is well
<br />suited to pasture and native grasses. Capability units
<br />Illw-1, irrigated, and Vw-1, dryland; Wet Dleadow
<br />range site; windbreak suitability group 5.
<br />8]-Paoli fine sandy loam, 0 to 1 percent slopes.
<br />This level soil is on lou' terraces.
<br />Included with this soil in mapping are a feu' small
<br />areas of soils that are more sloping. Also included are
<br />a fe~v small areas of Caruso and Table Mountain soils
<br />and some gravel spots.
<br />Runoff is slow. The hazard of water erosion is slight,
<br />and the hazard of wind erosion is moderate. This soil
<br />is flooded in places, especially near stream channels.
<br />If irrigated, this soil is sorted to corn, sugar beets,
<br />beans, barley, alfalfa, and wheat. Under-dryland
<br />management it is suited to wheat and barley. It is also
<br />well suited to pasture and native grasses. Capability
<br />units IIs-2, irrigated, and IIIe-8, dryland; Overflow
<br />range site; windbreak suitability group 2.
<br />101-Stoneham loam, 1 to 3 percent elopes. This
<br />nearly level soil is on uplands, high terraces, and
<br />benches. This soil has the profile described as rep-
<br />resentative of the series.
<br />Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of
<br />soils that are more sloping or less sloping. Also included
<br />are small areas of Fort Collins, Larimer, and Kim
<br />SO11S.
<br />Runoff is medium, and the hazards of wind and
<br />water erosion are moderate.
<br />If irrigated, this soil is suited to corn, sugar beets,
<br />beans, wheat, barley, and alfalfa. Under dryland
<br />management it is well suited to pasture or native
<br />grasses and, to a lesser extent, wheat and barley.
<br />Capability units IIe-1, irrigated, and IVe-3, dryland;
<br />Loamy- Plains range site; windbreak suitability group
<br />1.
<br />103-Stoneham loam, 5 to 9 ercent elopes. This
<br />strongly sloping soil is on uplands and high terraces
<br />and benches, mainly near the edge. This soil has a pro-
<br />file similar to the one described as representative of
<br />the series, but the combined surface layer and subsoil
<br />is about 10 to 12 inches thick.
<br />Included with this soil in mapping are small gravel
<br />spots and small areas of soils that are redder and have
<br />a surface layer of sandy loam. Also included are small
<br />areas of Fort Collins, Kim, and Larimer soils.
<br />Runoff is rapid, and the hazard of erosion is severe.
<br />]f irrigated, this soil is well suited to pasture and,
<br />to a lesser extent, wheat, barley, and alfalfa. Under
<br />dryland management it is suited to pasture or native
<br />grasses. Capability units IVe-1, irrigated, and Vle-1,
<br />dryland; Loamy Plains range site; windbreak suit-
<br />ability group 1.
<br />103--Table Mountain loam, 0 to I percent elopes.
<br />This level soil is on ]ou• terraces and bottom lands.
<br />Included with this soil in mapping are some small
<br />areas of soils that hate a surface layer of sand}' loam
<br />and some small areas of soils in which slopes are more
<br />than 1 percent. Also included are a few small areas of
<br />Caruso and Paoli soils and small areas of soils in µ•hich
<br />sand and gracet la}•ers are at a depth of about 40
<br />inches.
<br />Runoff is slow, and the hazard of erosion is slight.
<br />This soil is flooded or receives overflow in places.
<br />If irrigated, this soil is well suited to corn, sugar
<br />beets, beans, alfalfa, wheat, and barley. It is also well
<br />suited to wheat or barley under dr}•land management.
<br />Capability units I, irrigated, and IIIc-1, dryland;
<br />Overflow range site; windbreak suitability group 1.
