-37- <br />Permeability of the Sarcillo soil is moderately slow in the upper 8 <br />inches and slow below this depth. Available water capacity is very low. <br />Effective rooting depth is 10 to 20 inches. Runoff is rapid, and the. <br />hazard of water erosion 1s very high. <br />The Try soil is deep and well drained. It formed in alluvium and <br />colluvium derived dominantly from sedimentary rock. Typically, the surface <br />Iayer is loam 8 inches thick. The u 14~~~ ~'~ <br />pper.' ' -~-- of the subsoil is/\Ioam, <br />and the lower4y3 inches Ss sandy clay <br />loam.

AvatIable water capacity <br />is high. Effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more. Runoff is medium, <br />and the hazard of water erosion is high to very high. <br />This unit is used for livestock grazing and as woodland. <br />The poterrtial plant community on the Louviers soil is pinyon and <br />juniper with an understory of Indian ricegrass, muttongrass, and little <br />bluestem. The average annual production of air-dry vegetation is 400 <br />pounds per acre. Trails and walkways can be constructed in places to <br />encourage livestock grazing in areas where access is limited. Use of <br />mechanical treatmat practices is mt practical because the surface is <br />stony End the slopes are steep in some areas. Livestock grazing should be <br />managed to prevent overgrazing of the less sloping areas. <br /> <br /> <br />
