PRELIMINARY DRAFT <br /> 7-76, AEA <br /> ' 87V and 87--Unnamed (Apex) Stony Sandy Loam - Rock Outcrop, 20 to 65� Slopes <br /> ' This is a complex of deep, well drained soils and rock outcrop <br /> on steep and very steep wooded mountain slopes usually with north and <br /> west exposures. The average annual precipitation is about 17 inches, <br /> ' frost free season is 70 to 125 days and mean annual temperature is <br /> about 450 F. Elevation ranges from 6200 to 8000 feet. <br /> The unnamed (Apex) soils make up about 50 to 65 percent of the area. <br /> They are on mid slope and toe slope positions and are forming from mate- <br /> rials derived from gneiss and schists. <br /> ' Typically the Unnamed (Apex) soils have brown stoney sandy loam <br /> surface layers about 3 inches thick. The subsurface layer is a stony <br /> sandy loam about 8 inches thick. The subsoil is a brown stony sandy <br /> ' loam about 15 inches thick. The substratum is a stony sandy loam <br /> extending to 40 inches or more. <br /> ' Permeability is moderately rapid, available water capacity is <br /> moderate. Effective rooting depth is 40 inches or more. Surface <br /> runoff is moderate, water erosion is moderate. Soil reaction is slightly <br /> ' acid (pH 6.1 to 6.5). <br /> The rock outcrop part makes up 15 to 25 percent of the total area. <br /> ' It consists of large boulders and exposures of bedrock mainly granite. <br /> These soils are used for limited grazing, recreation and wildlife. <br /> ' Community Development - Slope and stony surface layers are severe <br /> limitations where areas are considered for homesites and roads. <br /> I <br /> ' Capability Subclass; Me. <br /> Range Site: Not grazable. <br /> ' Woodland Group: <br /> Hydrologic Group: B. <br /> Note: 87V Unit located in higher elevations with mean annual temperature <br /> 737F. <br /> 1 <br /> i <br />
