NONTECHNICAL SOILS DESCRIPTION REPORT <br /> Rocky Mountain Materials - Schnurr, Stephen J. <br /> Map Soil name and description <br /> Symbol <br /> The Manvel soil is deep and well drained. It formed in <br /> alluvium. Typically, the soil is silt loam or silty <br /> clay loam. Permeability is moderately slow. Available j <br /> water capacity is high. Effective rooting depth is 60 <br /> inches or more . Runoff is slow to very rapid, and the <br /> hazard of erosion of unprotected soil by water is <br /> slight to very high. <br /> 66 Manvel silt loam, 3 to 8 percent slopes <br /> The Manvel soil is deep and well drained. It formed in <br /> alluvium. Typically, the soil is silt loam or silty <br /> clay loam. Permeability is moderately slow. Available <br /> water capacity is high. Effective rooting depth is 60 <br /> inches or more . Runoff is slow to very rapid, and the <br /> hazard of erosion of unprotected soil by water is <br /> slight to very high. <br /> 71 Midway clay loam, 3 to 15 percent slopes <br /> The Midway soil is shallow and well drained. It formed <br /> in residuum derived from shale. Typically, the surface <br /> layer is clay loam 3 inches thick. The upper 6 inches <br /> of the substratum is clay. The lower part to a depth <br /> of 16 inches is extremely shaly clay. Highly, <br /> fractured clay shale is at a depth of 16 inches . <br /> Permeability is slow. Available water capacity is very <br /> low. Effective rooting depth if 6 to 20 inches . <br /> Runoff is medium to rapid, and the hazard of erosion of <br /> unprotected soil by water is moderate to high. This <br /> soil has high shrink-swell potential . - <br /> 72 Midway-Cascajo complex, 10 to 40 percent slopes <br /> This map unit is on moderately sloping to steep ridges, <br /> knobs, hills, and edges of old, high terraces deeply <br /> dissected by streams. It is about 60 percent Midway <br /> soil and about 20 percent Cascajo soil . The Midway <br /> soil is mainly on steeper side slopes . The Cascajo <br /> soil is mainly on knobs and hills and along crests of <br /> terrace edges . <br />
