Mapping Units 2NE and X8D <br />• Splitro sandy loam <br />This is a shallow, somewhat excessively drained soil on strongly sloping <br />to moderately steep mountain sideslopes and ridge crests. It formed in <br />sandstone residuum. <br />Included in this unit are Winevada (53D) fine sandy loam soils with more <br />than 35 percent rock fragments throughout, and Coutis (34 E) fine sandy <br />loam. Occasional areas of Rock outcrop (99) occur. <br />Typically the surface layers are very dark grayish brown and dark <br />grayish brown sandy loams about 18 inches thick over fractured hard <br />sandstone. <br />• <br />Permeability is moderately rapid. Effective rooting depth ranges from <br />10 to 20 inches. Available water capacity is very low. Surface runoff <br />is medium, erosion hazard is high from wind and moderate from water. <br />n <br />U <br />-3- <br />I . ... <br />
