-r..~ <br />" 20--Derrick <br />r~ <br />Establishing seedlings is difficult on this unit because of thz lo~.+ rainfall and <br />lo'.a available water capacity. Deferred yraciny, cross fencing, and stockwater develop- <br />ments ~::i11 help to prevent ~anye deterioration and promote the growth of more desirable <br />plants. <br />This soil has limited potential for wildlife when used as range because of low <br />vegetative production. On nonirricated land the best use is for wildlife such as jack- <br />rabbits, cottontail, and c„yote. When this sparsely veyetated soil is used for wildlife, <br />proper livestock grazing management is necessary. When irrigated, crop residue from <br />oats and barley may be utilized by ring-necked pheasant, and waterfowl. <br />This soil is suited to homesite development. The main limitations are large <br />amounts of gravel and cobble. This soil is a good source of sand, gravel, and roadfill <br />material. Caving of cutbanks is a hazard when excavating. Septic tank systems and <br />trench-type sanitary landfills can cause groundwater contamination in some places, due <br />to the very rapid infiltration rate of the substratum. <br />This map unit is in capability subclass IVs, irrigated, and VIIS, nonirrigated. <br />It is in Plo un fain Outwash range site. <br />
