Soil Base Line Data: <br />~ECEB10~® <br />SEP 1~0 2001 <br />Oiuision of Minerals and CeoloOY <br />The major soils of this area are: Bankard Sand, Otero Sandy Loam, Potter Gravelly Loam and <br />Manter/Vona Sandy Loams. <br />Bankard sand soil is deep and excessively drained. It formed in alluvium on flood plains. <br />Typically the soil is sand to a depth of 60 inches or more. Permeability is very rapid. Available <br />water capacity is low. Runoff is slow and the hazard of wind erosion is very high. This soil is <br />subject to occasional flooding during periods of hard thunderstorms. 3% to 9% slopes. <br />Manter and Vona sandy loams, 1% to 3% slopes. The soil is deep and somewhat excessively <br />drained. The surface and subsoil are dark in color and high in natural fertility. Permeability is <br />moderately rapid to rapid. Available water capacity is moderate. Runoff is slow and hazard of <br />wind erosion is high. The Vona soil is deep and well drained. Typically the surface is sandy loam <br />I S inches thick. The subsoil is sandy loam 15 inches thick. Permeability is moderately rapid. <br />Available water capacity is moderate. <br />Otero sandy loam is deep and somewhat excessively drained. Typically it is sandy loam to a depth <br />of 60 inches. Permeability is moderately rapid. Available water capacity is moderate and runoff is <br />slow. <br />Potter gravelly loam is shallow and well drained. Typically the soil is gravelly loam 8 fiches thick <br />over caliche bedrock. Some areas have high amounts of fine and medium gravel in the caliche. <br />Permeability is moderate, available water capacity is low. Runoff is rapid and the hazard of water <br />erosion is high. Slopes range from 1% to 9°/n <br />s <br />
