as "Table Mountain Loam". The Table Mountain series in this <br />L area consists of sandy to clay loams. They are well drained <br />and have a moderately low (0.25) erosion factor. The more <br />sandy and silty loams are on the hillsides above the main <br />channels and the clay loams tend to be on the low stream <br />terraces. The diverted drainages are from the upper <br />terraces and hillsides which are generally of a more sandy <br />nature and of a greater porosity. In estimating runoff <br />coefficients for these areas, a sandy-clay type of loam was <br />assumed because of the several soil varieties involved. All <br />areas were assumed to have some clay-bearing soils which <br />have high runoff potentials. <br />Runoff coefficients for the industrial areas were estimated <br />to have a fairly high runoff potential. These areas are the <br />~. <br />lower horizons of the sandy-clay loams but because of little <br />or no vegetation cover and relatively high traffic levels <br />they will have higher runoff characteriatics. Some drainage <br />areas contain areas that have been unaffected or <br />revegitated. The coefficients for these areas reflect the <br />combination of high and low runoff characteristics. The <br />refuse piles, though not presently vegetated, are relatively <br />permeable and will yield little runoff. The runoff <br />coefficients for these areas have, however, been estimated <br />for their final revegitated state which will have a greater <br />runoff potential. <br />a~ <br />7 <br /> <br />
