Dept of Natural Resources <br />The U.S. Soil Conservation Service has mapped two soil <br />types in the subject area. In addition, a rock outcrop <br />several feet high juts slightly into the property on the <br />north side. Ouray sandy loam with about a 38 slope is <br />located in the northwest and west portions of the area and <br />occupies 258 of the land. Soil samples were taken within <br />this area in May, 1977. Depth increments of 0-10 inches and <br />10-36 inches were sampled. Field texture determinations <br />indicated a gravelly sandy loam with pea size gravel from <br />0-36 inches deep. <br />Ouray soils have been described by the Soil Conservation <br />Service as deep and well drained, having been formed in <br />moderately coarse textured alluvium. Permeability in these <br />soils is moderately rapid and the plant available water <br />capacity is low. The effective rooting depth exceeds 5 feet. <br />Recent field examination on the site as well as Soil Conserva- <br />tion Service interpretation of the Ouray soil series rate it <br />as good for topsoil. Soil reaction is neutral throughout the <br />profile. <br />VEGETATION <br />Vegetative cover during a visit on May 6, 1977, ranged <br />from 30 to 608. Prominent species were pinyon pine, pinyon <br />D-1 <br /> <br />
