<br />'this unit is limited for livestock watering ponds and other water <br />impoundments because of the seepage potential. <br />This unit is moderately well suited to windbreaks and <br />envi-onmental plantings. The main limitations are slope, <br />drou~7htiness, and the hazard of water erosion, Planting on the <br />contour helps to conserve moisture. Summer fallow, con+,inued <br />cult vation for weed control, and selection of adapted plants are <br />need~ad to insure establishment and survival of seedling. Supplemental <br />irrigation may be needed when planting and during dry periods. <br />This unit is poorly suited to homesite development. If this unit <br />is ue~ed far homesite development, the main limitations are slope, the <br />hazard of water erosion, and cutbank cave. Cutbanks are not ;table <br />and are subject to slumping, Preserving the existing plant cover <br />during construction helps to control erosion. Topsoil can be <br />stock:piled and usad to reclaim areas disturbed during construction. <br />Eros on is a hazard in the steeper areas. Only the part of the site <br />that is used for constructien should be disturbed. Revegetating <br />disturbed areas around construction sites as soon as possible helps tc <br />control soil blowing. Plant cover can be established and maintained <br />through proper fertilizing, seeding, mulching, and shaping of the <br />slopes. In summer, irrigation is needed for lawn grasses, shrubs, <br />vine=_:, shade trees, and ornamental trees. <br />elope is a concern in installing septic tank absorption fields. <br />Absorption lines should be installed on the contour. If the density <br />of hcusing is moderate to high, community sewage systems are needed to <br />prevent contamination of water supplies as a result of seepage from <br />onsit:e sewage disposal systems. <br />this map unit is in capability subclass VIe, nonirrigated. The <br />Eckley sail is in the Gravel Breaks range site and the Wages soil is <br />in the Loamy Plains range site. <br /> <br />
