I • Permeability of this Cochetopa soil is slow. Available water holding capacity is high. Effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more. Runoff is slow, and the hazard of water erosion is moderate. The hazard of soil blowing is slight. This unit is used for livestock grazing and wildlife habitat 52 -Danavore-Waybe complex, 5-30% slopes This unit is on narrow ridge crests and mountain sides. Elevation is 7,200 to 8,600 feet. The average annual precipitation is 18 to 20 inches, the average annual air temperature is 37 to 40 degrees F., and the average frost-free period is 50 to 75 days. This unit is 45 percent Danavore soil and 30 percent Waybe soil. Included in this unit are small areas of rock outcrop, and soils similaz to the Danavore soil but have dazk colored surface layers. The Danavore soil is moderately deep and well drained. It formed in residuum derived from interbedded sandstone and shale. Typically the surface layer is light yellowish brown very cobbly sand loam and is 4 inches thick. The upper 4 inches of the underlying material is yellowish brown extremely stony sandy loam. The next 9 inches is light yellowish brown extremely channery loam. The lower part to a depth of 22 or more inches is very pale brown calcareous extremely channery clay loam. Weakly consolidated sandstone bedrock is at a depth of 22 inches. Depth to weakly. consolidated sandstone bedrock ranges from 20 to 40 inches. Permeability of the Danavore soil is moderately slow. Available water holding capacity is very • low. Effective rooting depth is 20 to 40 inches. Runoff is rapid, and the hazazd of water erosion is moderate. The hazard of soil blowing is slight. The Waybe soil is shallow and well drained. It formed in residuum derived from shale. Typically, the surface layer is light gray calcareous channery silty clay loam 4 inches thick. The underlying material to a depth of 15 inches is pale yellow calcareous silty clay loam. Weakly consolidated shale bedrock is at a depth of 15 inches. Depth to weakly consolidated bedrock ranges from ] 0 to 20 inches. Permeability of the Waybe soil is slow. Available water holding capacity is very low. Effective rooting depth is 10 to 20 inches. Runoff is rapid, and the hazard of water erosion is high. The hazard of soil blowing is slight. This unit is used for livestock grazing and wildlife habitat. 66 - Evanot loam,1-12% slopes This very deep, well drained soil is on benches and hillslopes. It formed in loess. Elevation is 6,200 to 7,200 feet. The average annual precipitation is 13 to ]5 inches, the average annual air temperature is 42 to 45 degrees F., and the average frost-free period is 75 to 95 days. Typically, the surface layer is brown loam 8 inches thick. The upper 12 inches of the subsoil is yellowish brown clay loam. The next 13 inches is very pale brown calcareous clay loam. The lower part to a depth of 60 or more inches is light yellowish brown calcareous loam. • Included in this unit are small areas of Forelle soils.
