This soil has a paralithic contact rather than a lithic contact as • <br />allowed in the Vandamore series, dnd 15 therefore mapped dS a.variant. <br />The Vandamore is not recommended for lift 1 material. It is suitable <br />for lift 2, but is rated marginal due to flagstones from the surface <br />to bedrock at 20 to 40 inches. There are areas of this soil that will <br />be too stoney for salvage. <br />This series occurs in map units CVB, CVD, and VWD. It was <br />sampled in typical pedon number 1 and in composite sample numbers <br />91/'239 and 141/132. Average lift 1 thickness is U inches, average <br />lift 2 thickness is 24 inches, for an average total salvagable <br />thickness for the series of 'L4 inches. <br />2.1.17 Waybe cobbly Clay Loam <br />This soil is a shallow, well drained, slowly to moderately <br />permeable soil formed in residuum derived from clayey, calcareous <br />shale.. It occurs on ridyecrests and breaks in mountain sideslopes on <br />slopes of 5 to 45 percent. The native veyeta.tion is sparse grasses, <br />forbs and biy sage. The available water holding capacity is low. <br />In a typical profile, the surface layer is dark grayish brown to <br />yellowish brown, cobbly clay loam to clay or silty clay loam about 7 <br />inches thick. The substratum is yellowish brown, channery to cobbly <br />j clay loam to clay about 8 inches thick. Depth to bedrock is less than • <br />20 inches. The Series is within the clayey, mixed (calcareous), <br />shallow fiamily of Typic Cryorthents. <br />Average depth to bedrock is 13 inches. The Waybe is not <br />recommended for salvage due to the large percent (6Uk) of flagstones <br />on the surface. <br />This series occurs in map unit VWD. It was sampled in typical <br />pedon number 2 and in composite sample numbers 122/142 and 134/117. <br />The average total salvayable thickness for the series is U inches. <br />2.1.18 Waybe Var. channery Clay Loam <br />This soil is a shallow, well drained, slowly to moderately <br />permeable soil formed in residuum derived from baked, clayey, <br />calcareous shale. It occurs on red knobs and mountain sideslopes on <br />slopes of 8 to 55 percent. The native vegetation is forbs, grasses <br />and mountain shrubs. The ava ilable water holding capacity is low. <br />In a typical profile, the surface layer is reddish brown, very <br />channery clay loam or sandy clay loam about 3 inches thick. 'The <br />substratum is reddish brown, gravelly clay loam to sandy clay about 15 <br />inches thick. Depth to bedrock is 3 to 11 inches.. The series is <br />within the clayey, mixed (calcareous), shallow family of Typic <br />Cryorthents. <br />H channery lay covers 75 percent of the surface. Tne profile is • <br />calcareous throughout. This soil is redder than allowea for the Waybe <br />series, and is therefore mapped as a variant. The Waybe variant is <br />16 <br />
