The main limitations to the building of un-surfaced roads on this unit <br />are low strength, and shrink-swell potential. <br />Proper grazing use in conjunction with a planned grazing system is <br />important [in?]practices to ensure the desired quality and quantity of <br />native vegetation, Deferred grazing will help speed up re-vegetation and <br />improve range areas in poor condition. Stock water development and <br />fencing will help get better livestock distribution and improve range <br />vegetation. More uniform use of rangeland is aided by properly locating <br />salt and by herding. <br />If the condition of the range deteriorates, shrub species increase. <br />Areas where brush is managed by prescribed burning, chemical or <br />mechanical methods ay be subject to a greater hazard of erosion. The <br />main limitations for seeding are clayey soils and shrubs, Seeding late <br />in the fall helps to ensure that soil moisture will be adequate for the <br />establishment of seedlings the next spring. <br />Wildlife such as elk, mule deer, coyotes, rabbits and raptors utilize <br />this unit. Management for wildlife should include protection from <br />overgrazing by livestock, prevention of fire, and maintaining adequate <br />plant cover. Native vegetation and nearby wooded areas provide food and <br />cover. <br />If this map unit is used for recreational development, the main <br />limitations are slow permeability, and slopes that are over 8 percent. <br />Paths and trails can be developed. Camp areas and picnic areas can be <br />developed on the lower slopes. <br />This map unit is in capability subclass 6e, non-irrigated. <br />[END] <br />-25- <br />OMO1fIAppl PERKINS SANDSTONE <br />
