surface layer is reddish brown fine sandy loam about 8 inches thick. The <br />underlying material is reddish brown and light reddish brown loam about 28 <br />inches thick over yellowish red stratified loam and sandy loam. Permeability is <br />moderate and the available water capacity is high. <br />The Barnum series consists of deep, well drained soils that formed in alluvium <br />from reddish colored shale and sandstone. The surface layer is typically brown <br />loam about 10 inches thick. The underlying material is reddish brown lam <br />stratified with thin layers of sandy loam and is about 50 inches thick. <br />Permeability is moderate and the available water capacity is high. <br />The Connerton-Barnum complex reportedly occurs along the North Poudre Supply Canal <br />and adjacent to the western boundary of the proposed permit area. It also reportedly <br />occurs along US Highway 287 east of the mine site. <br />Pumer fine sandy loam, 1 to 9% slopes -This nearly level to strongly sloping soil is on <br />the uplands and ridges. It consists of shallow, well drained soils that formed in material <br />weathered from reddish brown sandstone. These soils are on uplands and are underlain <br />by sandstone at a depth of 10 to 20 inches. Typically, the surface Iayer is reddish brown <br />fine sandy loam about 7 inches thick. The underlying material is light reddish brown fine <br />sandy loam about 7 inches thick. Below this is hazd reddish brown sandstone. <br />Permeability is moderate and the available water capacity is low. These soils reportedly <br />occur southwest of the proposed permit area. <br />Pumer-Rock outcrop complex, 10 to 50% slopes -This complex consists of moderately <br />steep or steep oils on uplands and ridges. It is about 55%Pumer fine sandy loam and <br />about 30% rock outcrop. Pumer fine sandy loam is smoother and less sloping. A small <br />area of this soil reported occurs between the southern end of the proposed pemut area and <br />US Highway 287. Atypical profile of this Purner soil is described in the preceding <br />paragraph. <br />Kirtley Pumer complex, 5 to 20% slopes -This complex consists of strongly sloping to <br />moderately steep soils on upland and valley sides. It is about 45% Kirtley loam and <br />about 40% Purner fine sandy loam. Kirtley loam is smoother and less sloping, and the <br />Pumer is steeper. <br />The Purner soil is described in the preceding paragraphs. <br />The Kirtley loam consists of moderately steep, well drained soils that formed in <br />material weathered from reddish brown sandstone and shale. These soils aze on <br />uplands and side slopes and are underlain by soft shale at a depth of 24 to 40 <br />inches. Typically, the surface layer is reddish brown loam about 4 inches thick. <br />The subsoil is reddish brown heavy loam about 14 inches thick. Permeability is <br />moderate and the available water capacity is medium. This soil complex <br />. reportedly occurs adjacent to the northwest portion of the proposed permit area. <br />~ 9~ <br />
