Map Unit Description (Brief, Generated) <br />Rifle Area, Colorado, Parts of Garfield and Mesa Counties <br />[Minor map unit components are excluded from this report] <br />Map unit: 12 - Bucklon-Inchau loams, 25 to 50 percent slopes <br />Component: Bucklon (55%) <br />The Bucklon component makes up 55 percent of the map unit. Slopes are 25 to 50 percent. This component is <br />on mountainsides, ridges. The parent material consists of residuum weathered from sandstone and shale. <br />Depth to a root restrictive layer, bedrock, paralithic, is 10 to 20 inches. The natural drainage class is well <br />drained. Water movement in the most restrictive layer is moderately low. Available water to a depth of 60 <br />inches is very low. Shrink-swell potential is moderate. This soil is not flooded. It is not ponded. There is no zone <br />of water saturation within a depth of 72 inches. Organic matter content in the surface horizon is about 4 percent. <br />This component is in the R048AY238CO Brushy Loam ecological site. Nonirrigated land capability classification <br />is 7e. This soil does not meet hydric criteria. <br />Component: Inchau (35%) <br />The Inchau component makes up 35 percent of the map unit. Slopes are 25 to 40 percent. This component is <br />on mountainsides, ridges. The parent material consists of residuum weathered from sandstone and shale. <br />Depth to a root restrictive layer, bedrock, paralithic, is 20 to 40 inches.
