• stony loam about 11 inches thick. The upper part of the underlying <br />material is very pale brown very stony loam about 7 inches thick <br />and the lower part is very pale brown extremely stony sandy foam <br />and extremely stony loam to a depth of 60 inches. Permeability is <br />moderately rapid and available water capacity is low. Surface <br />runoff is slow and the erosion hazard is moderate. The natural <br />vegetation is dominated by sagebrush. <br />The following is a description of the typical profile: <br />Al 0 to 4 inches; light gray stony loam, weak medium <br />granular structure; soft, friable, slightly sticky <br />and slightly plastic, 20~ stony fragments; cal- <br />careous; moderately alkaline; clear smooth boundary. <br />AC 4 to 11 inches; very pale brown stony loam; moderate <br />medium granular structure; slightly hard, friable, <br />sticky and plastic; 30~ rock fragments; calcareous; <br />moderately alkaline; gradual smooth boundary. <br />Clca 11 to 18 inches; very pale brown very stony loam; <br />massive; slightly hard, friable; 40~ stony frag- <br />ments; common visible calcium carbonate nodules; <br />moderately alkaline; gradual wavy boundary. <br />C2ca 18 to 60 inches; very pale brown stratified extreme- <br />ly stony sandy loam and loam; massive; slightly <br />hard, friable; 75~ stony fragments; calcareous; <br />moderately alkaline. <br />3.5.3 Analysis Results <br />Tables 3.5-1 and 3.5-2 exhibit the analysis results for the soil <br />samples collected on the NCEC site.
