<br />Niwot soils (0 to 1 percent slopes) (Nh).-These soils aze on stream terraces and <br />bottoms in a eastern part of the Area. In most places they occur as irregularly shaped <br />azeas more than 30 acres in size. <br />The profile of these soils is much like the one described as representative for the <br />series, but the surface layer is variable in texture. This layer ranges from sandy clay <br />loam to light clay loam or loam. <br />Included with these soils in mapping are small, almost barren gravel bars and small <br />azeas of Lovelands soils. Also included aze unnamed soils that aze sandy. These <br />included soils and gravel bazs make up 15 percent of each mapped azea. <br />Runoff is slow on these soils. The erosion hazard is slight except for back cutting <br />neaz channels. Because of their position in the landscape, these soils aze frequently <br />flooded. They have a seasonal high water table. <br />Because of the high water table and the depth to sand or gravel, these soils are best <br />suited for use as pasture or meadow. These soils are also suitable as a site for gravel <br />pits. In some places a few small areas are used for irrigated crops. These are areas <br />that aze more convenient to farm that to plant to grass.
