• SOILS ALONG THE PROPOSED HAUL ROAD <br />Plate 13 shows the soils along the proposed haul road <br />Prom Jackson County 1° to the Bourg property. They involve <br />two additional soils which can be described as follows: <br />Bosler sandy loam.- (mao symbol: 12-AC).- Moderately <br />deep (20 to 40 inches) over lime-cemented gravel and cobble, <br />moderately coarse textured soils with a sandy loam surface <br />and sandy clay loam subsoil. They have a low eater holding <br />capacity of approximately 3.5 inches available eater within <br />the 3-foot rooting depth, The soil has a low organic matter <br />content. Slopes range from 2 to 5 percent. These soils occur <br />in valley bench range sites. <br />S~icerton sandy loam,- (map symbol: 20-AC),- Deep (greater <br />than 40 inches over any restricted material), strongly alkaline, <br />moderately fine textured soil with a thin, Pine sandy loam surface <br />and a clay subsoil. It has a low available eater holding capa- <br />+ city of approximately 3 inches within a 5-foot rooting depth, <br />due to the sodium content which restricts plant growth and ties <br />up much of the normally available eater. Soils have a fluc:uatir,c <br />water table and normally receive some "run-in", Slopes range from <br />0 to 5 percent. These soils occur in salt flats range sites. <br /> <br /> <br />M-7 <br />
