<br />101 - Table Mountain Taxajunct, 0 to 3 percent slopes. <br />The Table Mountain Taxajunct soil is deep and <br />well-drained. It developed from mixed alluvium on <br />valley-filling fans and floodplains. Small areas of Fort <br />Collins Variant and Embry soils were included in mapping. <br />Fort Collins soils are more highly developed with argillic <br />horizons. Embry soils are lower in organic matter and less <br />developed. These soils occupy less than 15 percent of the <br />mapping unit. <br />In a typical profile, the surface layer is brown loam <br />about 5 inches thick. The subsoil is brown to dark brown <br />loam about 25 inches thick. The substratum is brown to <br />• yellowish brown sandy loam to loam more than 70 inches thick <br />and is underlain with slightly calcareous, cobbly and stony <br />alluvium. <br />The Table Mountain Taxajunct soil has moderately rapid <br />permeability and medium runoff. The erosion hazard is <br />moderate. Available water holding capacity is medium to <br />high. Effective rooting depth is greater than 60 inches. <br />This soil is used for livestock grazing and wildlife <br />habitat. The vegetation is primarily western wheatgrass and <br />blue grama with annual weeds on old disturbance areas. <br />The average depth of suitable topsoil material is 60 <br />inches. This material is rated fair to good with suitability <br />• decreasing with depth. <br />
