I ~ This unit is 50 percent Jerry soil and 35 percent Cochetopa soil. Also included are small areas of <br />Waybe soils, Danavore soils, Lamphier soils, and Skyway soils. Also included are small areas of <br />a soil similar to the Jerry soil but which is moderately deep to shale bedrock. <br />The Jerry soil is very deep and well drained. It formed in residuum derived from shale. <br />Typically, the surface layer is covered with a mat of undecomposed leaves and twigs 2 inches <br />thick. The surface layer is brown loam 10 inches thick. The upper 11 inches of the subsoil is <br />brown clay loam. The next part to a depth of 27 inches is pale brown calcareous silty clay. The <br />lower part to a depth of 60 inches or more is light brownish gray and gray calcareous silty clay <br />loam. <br />Permeability of the Jerry soil is very slow. Available water holding capacity is high. Effective <br />rooting depth is 60 inches or more. Runoff is medium, and the hazard of water erosion is high. <br />The hazard of soil blowing is slight. <br />The Cochetopa soil is very deep and well drained. It formed in residuum derived from shale. <br />Typically, the surface is covered with a mat of partially decomposed leaves and twigs 2 inches <br />thick. The surface layer is dark grayish brown fine sandy loam 19 inches thick. The subsoil is <br />brown clay loam 29 inches thick. The lower part to a depth of 60 inches or more is yellowish <br />brown clay loam. <br />Permeability of the Cochetopa soil is slow. Available water holding capacity is high. Effective <br />rooting depth is 60 inches or more. Runoff is medium, and the hazard of water erosion is very <br />high. The hazard of soil blowing is slight. <br />• This unit is used for livestock grazing and wildlife habitat. <br />112 -Kemmerer-Moyerson silty clay loams, 20 to 40 percent slopes <br />This unit is on hills. Elevation is 6,000 to 7,000 feet. The average annual precipitation is 11 to <br />13 inches, the average annual air temperature is 42 to 45 degrees F, and the average frost-free <br />period is 75 to 95 days. <br />This unit is 45 percent Kemmerer and similar soil and 40 percent Moyerson and similar soil. <br />The Kemmerer soil is well drained and slowest permeability is very slow, Available water <br />holding capacity is low and runoff is very high. Depth to restrictive feature is 20 to 40 inches to <br />bedrock. It is formed in residuum derived from shale. <br />Typically, the Kemmerer soil surface layer is silty clay loam 3 inches thick. The upper part of <br />the subsoil is clay to silty clay 19 inches thick. The lower part to a depth of 26 inches is <br />weathered bedrock. <br />The Moyerson is well drained and slowest permeability is slow. It is formed in residuum derived <br />from shale. Available water holding capacity is very low. Effective rooting depth is 10 to 20 <br />inches to bedrock. Runoff is very high. <br />Typically, the Moyerson soil surface layer is silty clay Loam 1 inch thick. The upper part of the <br />• subsoil is silty clay to clay 16 inches thick. The lower part to a depth of 21 inches is weathered <br />bedrock. <br />
