i. _ <br />7/82 <br />I 53 <br />~7C_--Goslin Fine sandy loam. 3 to 6 percent slopes. This deep, well <br />drained soil is on toeslopes, fans, and terraces. It formed in colluvium <br />and alluvium derived dominantly from redhed sandstone and shale. Elevation <br />is 6,200 and 7,500 feet. The average annual precipitation is 12 to 14 <br />inches, the average annual air temperature Ss 42 [0 46 degrees F, and the <br />average frost-free period is 85 to 105 days. <br />I Typically, the surface layer is reddish brown fine sandy loam 5 inches <br />thick. The underlying material to a depth of 60 inches is fine sandy loam. <br />I The soil is calcareous throughout the profile. <br />Included Sn this unit are small areas of Almy soils and Goslin soils <br />that have steeper slopes. Also included are small areas of soils that are <br />I similar to this Goslin soil but have a stony surface layer. Included areas <br />_ make up about 15 percent of the total acreage. <br />I Permeability of this Goslin soil is moderately rapid. Available water <br />capacity is moderate. Effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more. Runoff <br />is slow, and the hazard of water erosion is slight to moderate. During <br />brief and intense storms, runoff from adjacent uplands may cause gully <br />erosion. <br />This unit is used mainly for livestock grazing, hay and pasture. It is <br />also used for irrigated hay and pasture. <br />I 25 <br />
