' 16 <br /> EXHIBIT E - SOILS <br /> ' The soil mapping units that occur on the area are classified <br /> ' as rock outcrop and Edloe sandy loam 3 to 45% slopes . (l) The <br /> rock outcrop mapping unit occurs on 3 of the 4 acres contained <br /> in the proposed permit area. The mapping unit is dominated by <br /> granite and sandstone , with thin soils occurring in patches be- <br /> tween rocks. These soils are non-calcareous and range in texture <br /> ' from loamy sand to loam and occur on 3-10% of the area. The SCS <br /> land capability unit for this mapping unit is VIII . <br /> The Edloe soil unit occurs on one acre out of the 4 acres <br /> contained in the proposed permit boundary. The soil is a deep to <br /> ' moderately deep, gravelly, soil developing from Pike 's Peak granite. <br /> ' A typical pedon can be found in Table 3 . Typically the surface <br /> layer is light gray sandy loam about 5 inches thick. In most <br /> ' places the surface layer is covered with 1 to 2 inches of organic <br /> matter. The subsoil is brown and light reddish brown , gravelly <br /> ' sandy clay loam about 22 inches thick. The underlying material <br /> 1 is a brown , very gravelly sandy clay loam about 9 inches thick <br /> which rests on granite. Permeability of the Edloe soil is mod- <br /> , , erate as is available water capacity . The primary limiting soil <br /> features are depth to rock and steep slopes . The SCS soil capa- <br /> bility subclass is VIe . <br /> 1 (1) <br /> Source : Soil Conservation Service , Cripple Creek, Dennis <br /> Davidson, 9/82 . <br /> 1 <br />
