• <br />4.0 PRESENT USE AND LAND CAPABILITY UNITS <br />• <br />4.1 PRESENT USE OF THE SOILS <br />~ The present use of Unnamed 27 Series is (in addition to rangeland), livestock ponds <br />and mine and oil facilities. The Skylick and Unnamed 68 Series are being used as a <br />source of firewood in the aspen grove being removed for road expansion. With these <br />exceptions, the present use of the soils is restricted to rangeland. <br />• <br />4.2 LAND CAPABILITY UNITS <br />~ The land capability units of the soils in this area are restricted by climate, <br />shallowness and/or slope. Table 4-1, Land Capability Units of the Soils of the <br />Report Area, shows only capability units VI and VI1. The E indicates erosion <br />hazard. Class YI is defined: <br />• <br />Soils in Class VI have severe limitations that make them gen- <br />erally unsuited to cultivation and limit their use largely to <br />pasture or range, woodland, or wildlife food and cover. <br />• <br />Class VII is defined as: <br />Soils in Class YII have very severe limitations that make them <br />~ unsuited to cultivation and that restricts their use largely to <br />grazing, woodland or wildlife. <br />• <br />• <br />~ - 11 - <br />
