' EXHIBIT D <br />Soils <br />Cherokee ~ ~ <br />' ~~ <br />Travessilla-Louviers Complex (LT) ~~~~ <br />' Slope Angle: ~20 to 50Y ~p~ ~` <br />' These are shallow, well drained soils on steep sideslopes and ridge tops. <br />The topsoil horizon is shallow, about 4 inches thick. The subsoil horizon is <br />less than 20 inches deep to more indurated horizons such as shale, sandstone, <br />and coal of the Vermejo Formation. The Travessilla usually occurs on the ridges <br />' near sandstone rock outcrops, and the Louviers is found shallow to shale and on <br />sideslopes. Permeability is moderately rapid for the Travessilla soil and <br />moderately slow for the Louviers soil, and water-retaining capability of both <br />' is low. It shows a range from slightly acid to slightly alkaline with a off <br />range from 6.1 to 7.8. Conductivity i5 low, less than 2 mmhos/cm. This soil <br />complex is oor for establishing and maintaining plani growth. <br />' Larand (Lv) <br />Slope Angle: 5 to 20~ <br />This is a deep, cobbly sandy loam that is excessively drained and found in <br />cobbly and sandy outwash on toeslopes and fans. The topsoil horizon is <br />minimal, comprised of cobbly sandy loam about 2 inches thick. The subsurface <br />horizon is extremely gravelly sandy loam about 13 inches thick. The subsoil horizon <br />is of the same composition with the addition of clay, and is about 10 inches <br />' thick. <br />Below the 25 inch depth is extremely gravelly loamy sand. Permeability is rapid <br />' and water-retaining capability is low. Larand soil is moderately to slightly <br />acid, with a pH ranging from ~,~ to 6.5_ Runoff is slow and erosion hazard is <br />slight. This is a fair soil for establishing and maintaining plant growth, <br />mostly the development of woodland. <br />' Noden Loam(Nd) <br />Slope Angle: 5 to 18Y <br />This soil is deep and well drained, found on upland terraces and alluvial <br />' fans. The topsoil horizon is a dark colored loam about 4 inches thick. The <br />subsoil horizon is a dark colored clay loam to a depth of about 24 inches. The <br />substratum is loam which extends to depths of 60 inches or more. This soil has <br />a moderately slow permeability and a high water-retaining capability. It ranges <br />from slightly acidic to slightly alkaline exhibiting a pH from 6 to 7.6. <br />Conductivity is low, less than 2 mmhos/cm. On the steeper slopes surface water <br />runoff is more rapid and erosion hazard is moderate. This soil should establish <br />and maintain plant growth reasonably well. <br /> <br />1 <br />
