11/82 <br />1 <br />1 <br /> <br />1 <br />AW-Fluvagaents, 0 to 10 percent slopes. This broadly defined unit <br />consists of deep, somewhat poorly"drained, nearly level soils on flood <br />plains and alluvial valley floors. The soils formed in alluvium. <br />Fluvaquente are stratified and vary widely in texture and depth to sand, <br />gravel and cobbles. The surface layer is loamy sand to fine sandy loam and <br />silty loam to clay loam. The underlying layers are generally sandy loam or <br />loam stratified with sand, gravel, and cobbles. In some areas gravel and <br />cobbles are on or near [he surface. <br />The water table fluctuates between depths of 2 and 4 feet and in some <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />1 <br /> <br /> <br />1 <br />areas is near the surface during spring runoff from snowmelt. These soils <br />are subject to brief, occasional flooding late in spring and early in <br />summer. <br />Included in yapping are small isolated areas of Redrob soils. Small, <br />isolated areas where water stands at or near the surface all year are <br />identified by wet spot and marsh spot symbols. These areas make up 15 <br />percent of the map unit. <br />These soils are used for wildlife habitat, recreation and grazing. <br />The native vegetation is mainly cottonwood, willow, and water tolerant <br />grasses, sedges and rushes. <br />Mule deer, cottontail rabbit, coyote, bobcat, ducks, geese, and other <br />native birds floe food and shelter on these soils. Where feasible, planting <br />small grain, trees and shrubs, enhances the I~abita[ for upland wildlife. <br />This map unit is poorly suited to homesite development. The main <br />limitations are flooding and the seasonal high water table. <br />The map unit ie in capability subclass VIw, nonirrigated. The range <br />site is Riverbotton. At higher elevations it is a Hountain Meadow range <br />site. <br />24 <br />
