Permeability is slow. Water erosion hazard is high. Depth to ground water is <br />• greater than 5 feet. Effective rooting depth is between 35 and 60 inches. Stoniness <br />class is 0. <br />Land capability unit is Vlle. <br />MAP UNIT SkE: SKYLICK LOAM, 30 TO 65 PERCENT SLOPE <br />This deep, well-drained, fine textured soil occurs on steep and very steep slopes, <br />steep draws and side and upper-slopes. This mapping unit occurs in the west I/4 <br />Section 12 and east I/q Section II, T.SN R.86W, at 6,800 to 7,000 feet elevation. <br />The soil profile of this mapping unit does not vary significantly in horizonation <br />as described for the Skylick loam, IS to 30 percent slope. This mapping unit does <br />not contain Cochetopa inclusions. <br />Permeability is slow. Water erosion hazard is high. Depth to ground water is <br />greater than 5 feet. Effective rooting depth is between 35 and 60 inches. Stoniness <br />class is 0. <br />Land capability unit is Vlle. <br />• MAP UNIT SpC: SPLITRO SANDY LOAM, 8 TO IS PERCENT SLOPE <br />This shallow, well to somewhat excessively well-drained, loamy soil occurs on <br />moderately to strongly sloping ridge slopes and ridge crests. It is formed in <br />sandstone residuum. This soil occurs in Sections 30 and 31, T.SN R.85W at 6,700 to <br />7,900 feet elevation. <br />Typically, the depth of the surface horizon range from 5 to 22 inches thick. The <br />soil usually exhibits mollic colors (10 YR 5/2, 4/2, 3/2) to bedrock. <br />Presently this soil is used primarily for rangeland and livestock grazing. <br />Vegetation includes Quercus ag mbelii gambel oak, Artemesia tridentate big sage, and <br />Bromus spp. Brome grasses. <br />Permeability is moderately rapid. Water erosion hazard is moderate. Depth to <br />ground water is greater Than 5 feet. Effective rooting depth varies with depth of <br />bedrock, usually about 12 to 17 inches from The surface. Stoniness class is 3. <br />Land capability unit is Vle. <br />• MAP UNIT SpD: SPLITRO SANDY LOAM, 15 TO 30 PERCENT SLOPE <br />This shallow, well to somewhat excessively well-drained loamy soil forms on <br />moderately steep to steep ridges and side-slopes of ridges in sandstone residuum.
