This project, too, will not have <br />any water requirements for its operation. <br />vegetation and Soils Information: <br />The soil in this area consists of Canyon-Rock outcrop complex, <br />Eckley-Ores gravelly sandy loans, and Manter-Ascalon sandy loans. <br />The hazard oP soil blowing is moderate. Available water capacity <br />is very low, and water erosion is moderate. These <br />characteristics account for this land being mainly used for <br />grazing. The natural vegetation of this type oP land consists of <br />little bluestem, sideoats grams, theadleaf sedges, and prairie <br />sandreed.
