Mapping Unit 52A <br />• Venable loam <br />The Venable series consists of a deep, somewhat poorly drained soils <br />that have formed in mixed alluvium. Venable soils are found on the <br />gently undulating valley bottom along Fish Creek within the subject <br />area. The native vegetation is native grass and scattered sagebrush. <br />Included with this soil in mapping are a few small areas with water at <br />or near the surface, with scattered cobbles on the surface, or soils <br />with underlying sand and gravel. <br />Typically this soil has a thin deposit of undecomposed and partly <br />decomposed organic matter on the surface. The surface soil layer is a <br />• very dark grayish brown loam about 9 inches thick. The underlying <br />material is stratified dark colored clay looms and looms. Bright <br />colored mottles occur at about 24 inches. <br />Permeability is moderately slow. The available water capacity is high. <br />Effective rooting depth is 24 inches or more. Surface runoff is slow <br />and erosion hazard is slight from wind and water. <br />r 1 <br />U <br />-11- <br />
