Among the trees that are suitable for planting are Fbcky Mountain juniper, ponderosa pine, Siberian eLa, Rnssiarrolive, and hackberry. Among the shrubs are skunkbush sumac, lilac, and Siberian peashrub. If this unit is used for hcxnesite development, the main limitation is the hazard of soil blowing. Excavation for houses and access roads in places exposes material that is highly susceptible to soil blowing. l~veyetatrrg disturbed areas arourc] construction sites as soon as possible helps to overcome this linitation. If the soil in this emit is used for septic tank absorption fields, the limitation of moderate permeability can be overcane by increasing the size of the absorption field. FYOSt action potential is a limitation for the maintenance of roads, streets, driveways, and sidewalks. Zhis map unit is in capability subclasses IIIe, irrigated, and IIIe, • nonirriyated.
