<br />105 - Delconey loam, 6 to 15 percent slopes. <br />The Delconey soil is moderately deep and well-drained. <br />It developed from sandstone alluvium and loess on footslopes. <br />3ma11 areas of Embry and Table Mountain Taxajunct were <br />included in mapping. Embry soils are deep to bedrock. Table <br />Mountain Taxajunct soils are deep with more accumulated <br />organic matter. These soils occupy less than 10 percent <br />of the mapping unit. <br />In a typical profile, the surface layer is grayish brown <br />gravelly loam about 4 inches thick. The subsoil is light <br />brownish gray to grayish brown loam about 17 inches thick. <br />The substratum is brown loam about 8 inches thick and is <br />• underlain with sandy shale at a depth of 29 inches. <br />The Delconey soil has moderate permeability and medium <br />runoff. The erosion hazard is moderate. Available water <br />holding capacity is moderate. Effective rooting depth is <br />20 to 40 inches. <br />This soil is used for livestock grazing and wildlife <br />habitat. The vegetation is primarily western wheatgrass, <br />blue grama, other grasses and scattered mountain mahogany. <br />The average depth of suitable topsoil material is 30 <br />inches. This material is rated fair to good with suitability <br />decreasing with depth. <br /> <br />
