<br />Pan a of Characteristics: 5plllf0 was described and sampled at lour locations within the study area (profile description Sites 7, 12, 39, and 541. Soil petlon descriptions were prepared at an additional 13 sites 18. 9, 10,
<br />12. 13, 27, 39, 68, 81, 123, 124, 127, antl 131). Topsoil salvage tleDths were also varilietl at 13 sites 15, 6, 10, 11, 12, 14, 20, 22, 26. 2B, 30, 31, and 321. All parameters except depth to bedrock, reaction, A
<br />horizon color and texture, and the presence of a C horizon in same pedons are within the official range of characteristics. Depth to fine-grained santlstone bedrock ranges Irom S Io 20 Inches. Reaction is moderately and,
<br />slightly acid, or neutral. The A horizon value is 3 to 6 tlry and chrome is 1 to 3. Texture of the A horizon Is line sandy loam, sandy loam, loam, silt loam, or light clay loam. A thin C horizon occurs in some pedons,
<br />ranging Irom 2 to 6 inches in thickness. Dominant vegetation et the sample sites include oakbrush, snowberry, sagebrush, serviceberry, aspen, chokecherry, rabbitbrush, yarrow, lescue, lupine, and slender wheatgrass.
