Any <br />construction activity on this unit may trigger mass movement. <br />INTERPRETIVE GROUPS <br />Land capability classification: VIII <br />Torriorthents <br />Plant Association: Hilaria 'amesii SDOrobolus airoides. <br />Haplargids <br />Plant Association: Hilaria 'am ii SDOrobolus it ide . <br /> <br />Soils Description Report -West Elk Mine <br />December 1994 WESTEC 19 <br />
