Bankard Sandy Loam, 0 to 3 percent <br />This is a deep and excessively drained soil on floodplains at elevations of 4,450 to <br />5,000 feet. The soil formed in stratified recent alluvium along streams and rivers. The <br />surface layer of this soil is brown sandy loam about four inches thick. The underlying <br />material is pale brown calcareous sand stratified with thin lenses of sandy loam, loam <br />and fine gravel to a depth of 60 inches. <br />The permeability of this soil type is moderately rapid and available water capacity is low. <br />Surface runoff is low and the erosion hazard is low. <br />The potential native vegetation is switchgrass, indiangrass, sand bluestem, sand <br />reedgrass, sideoats gramma, need leandthread, and blue grama. As range conditions <br />deteriorate the tall and mid grasses decrease and blue grama, sand dropseed, and <br />forbs increase. Undesirable weeds and annuals invade when conditions become <br />poorer. This soil is generally not suited for the growing and growth of trees and shrubs. <br />Derr Pit Project <br />J&-T Consulting, Inc. DMG 112 Permit <br />33
