A well to <br />excessively drained, sandy loamy textured soil <br />developed on botCo+nlands derived fxom mixed alluvium <br />sediments. Surface layer is a light brownish-gray sandy <br />loam. Underlying +++.~terial is a light yellowish-brown <br />gravelly sand. Permeability is rapid and available <br />water capacity is medium. Effective rooting zone is 17 <br />inches. Hazard of. ,oil blowing is moderate and water <br />erosion hazard is sligt+t. Capability unit for <br />irrigated is IVs and for dryland is VIw. Pg 9. <br />Bk BANKARD SOILS Bank~rcl Soils. A well to excessively <br />drained, loamy sa++d textured soil developed on bottom <br />lands derived fro+n mired alluvium sediments. Surface <br />layer is light brownish-gray sandy loam. Underlying <br />material is light yellowish-brown gravelly sandy. <br />Permeability is r.~picl and available water capacity is <br />mediu+n. Effective rooting zone is 17 inches. Hazard <br />of soil blowing is severe and hazard to water erosion <br />is moderate. Capability unit for irrigated is (1/) <br />(not irrigated) ar+<1 for dryland is VIIw. Pg 9. <br />Rv RIVERWASH Riverwasli. Soil consists mainly of sandbars <br />which are often flooded and unstable: This soil is the <br />first land to he covered by water when the streams <br />overflow. This is a good habitat for wildlife and <br />provides good hu++tiny. Capability unit for irrigated <br />is (1/)(not irrigated) and for dryland is VIIIs. Pg 28. <br />Wt WET ALLUVIAL LAlll~ wet Alluvial Land. A poorly drained, <br />loamy and sandy soil is on low terraces and flood <br />plains derived from stratified alluvial. Surface layer <br />is a dark gray fi++e sandy loam. Underlying material is <br />a light olive-gray sandy clay loam. Permeability is <br />slow and available water holding capacity is medium. <br />Effective rooting zone is 40 inches. Hazard of soil <br />blowing i.s sliyhr ~ncl water erosion hazard is slight. <br />Capability unit f~~r irrigated is IVw and for dryland is <br />VIw. Pg 36. <br />
