the light cclored sandstone parent material, average depth about 3 feet. <br />• 66D - Skylick loam, 3 to 25 percent slopes. <br />This is a deep, well-drained soil on gently sloping to moderately steep mountain <br />benches and sideslopes at elevations of 7,000 to 8,500 feet. It formed in material <br />weathered from sandstone. Included in this unit are srr:all areas of Coutis <br />fine sandy loam and Routt loam. <br />The surface layer is about two feet thick loam to clay loam. It lies over <br />a slightly finer textured B2 horizon extending to: 48 inches. This soil is a <br />coarser textured relative of the Buckskin and Binco series. <br />This soil contains about 2 feet of good usable loamy topsoil; the lower limit <br />is inconsistent and not readily discernible. The B horizon is generally heavier <br />• textured and not as dark as the topsoil. <br />Permeability is moderately slow. Effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more. <br />Available water capacity is high. Surface runoff is slow to medium, erosion <br />hazard is high from water. <br />103 - Roxal variant-Lymanson-Starman complex, 35 to 75 percent slopes. <br />These shallow and moderately deep soils are on steep and very steep mountain <br />sideslopes at elevations of 7,000 to 8,500 feet. These soils formed in sandstone <br />and shale. Roxal variant soils make up about 35% of this unit, Lymanson makes <br />up about 30R=, and Starman about 20%. Small areas of Abor silty clay loam <br />and rock outcrop are included in this unit. <br />Typically the Roxal variant soil has brown sandy loam surface layer about 2 <br />inches thick. The underlying material is a brown sandy clay loam about 6 <br />inches thick over a light olive brown silty clay loam. At 27 inches is weathered <br />=z.z-is <br />
