~. • <br />ATTACHMENT 2 • <br />34-Peyton sandy loam, 4 to B percent slopes. Thla <br />deep, genty sloping to moderately sloping, well drained <br />soil la on upland alluvial fans and valley aide slopes (fig. <br />t4). It formed In erkosic alluvium and residuum. Elevatbn <br />ranges from about 8,400 to 7,300 feet Average annual <br />predpttetbn rerlpea from about 17 to tg Inches, average <br />gfvwal etr temperature la about 43 degrees F, and aver• <br />ape froat•hee perbd le about 120 days. <br />Included with this Boll In mapping are small areas of <br />Bruasett tam, Holdemeas loam, and Elbeth sandy tam <br />that have 4 to 8 percent elopes. <br />Typlcaly, the surface layer Is grayish brown sandy <br />loam and dark grayish brown,aendy clay loam about 7 <br />Inches thick. The aubsal to a depth of about 32 Inches <br />b dark greyish brown, greyish brown, and light brownish <br />gray Bendy clay tem. The substratum Is tight brownish <br />gray and white coarse sandy loam and loamy coarse <br />sand to a depth of 80 Inches. <br />PermeabUfty Is moderate, end avellable water capacity <br />b moderate to hfph. Surface runofl is medium, and the <br />hazard of erosbn Is moderate. In a few areas, shallow <br />gullies and rills ere common. <br />Moat of this soil b used }or grezlnp. A law areas ere <br />used for nortirrlgeted cropland, and wheat la the main <br />sop. Tha estimated yield for wheat Is spout 20 bushels <br />per sae, and K Is 27 bushels per sae for oats. The <br />ctwice of trope Is limited by the short prowtnp season. <br />This sal Ia well suted to windbreaks end environmental <br />plMtlnpe and for most engineering uses. <br />Rangeland vepetaUon fs melny prairie sandreed, <br />mountain muhty, sand blueetem, prairie Junegrass, little <br />bkrestem, end blue grams. When range conditbn d~te- <br />rlorates because of overgrazing or other uses, greases, <br />such es blue prams end native bluegraasea, and forts, <br />such as hairy poldaeter, increase. <br />Seeding the range is recommended to revegetate de• <br />plated areas IrI order to protect the soil from wind and <br />water erosion. Native grasses are desirable for range <br />seeding, but tame apeGea, such ae Nordan created <br />wtteetgrass, Russlerl wlldrye, pubescent wheatgrass, and <br />intennedlat¢ wheatgress, may also be used. <br />The main concerns management on nonurigated <br />cropland are conserving moisture and protecting fhe soil <br />from wind and water erosion. Stubble mulch tillage and <br />IncorporeUng crop residue in end on the surface are <br />necessary to protect the soil from erosion, improve soil <br />Ulth, and conserve moisture. Chiseling or subsoiling <br />breaks up tillage pane and Improves water infilVation in <br />the subsoil. Planting trope in alternate strips at right <br />angles to the gravelling wind ie also effective in protect- <br />ing the soil from blowing. Tillage operations need to be <br />kept to a minimum. <br />This soil Is generally suited to windbreaks and envvon- <br />mental plantings. Wind erosion fa the main limitation to <br />the establlahment of trees and shrubs. This hazard can <br />be overcome by cultivating only In the tree row and <br />leaving a strip o1 vegeteWe cover between the rows. <br />Supplemental InipeUon is generally needed. at the time of <br />Planting end during dry periods. Well suited trees that <br />survive beat are Rocky Mountain Juniper, eastern redce- <br />der, ponderosa pine, Siberian elm, Russian•olive, and <br />hackbeny. The best euked shrubs ere akunkbush sumac, <br />American plum, end Henson rose. <br />This soil la well suited to the construction of homesites <br />and other urban developments end has only minor limita- <br />tbns that can be easily modflied Where this soil is used <br />for a sewage lagoon system, special sealing methods <br />ere needed to Overcome the excessHe seepage condi- <br />tion. ' <br />This sal is in Cepabllily subclass IVs, nonirrigeted. <br />THIS SOIL IS IN HEL CLASS 1 FOR WIND,AND• <br />CLASS 3 FOR WATER.
