fine sandy loam about 15 inches thick underlain by very pale brown, calcareous fine sandy loam to 60 inches. Olney soils have moderate permeability and moderate available water capacity. Surface runoff is slow and erosion hazard is low. Otero Sandy Loam, 0 - 1 percent (map unit 50) - This soil type occurs on the northeast side of the property. Otero Sandy Loam soils consist of deep, well drained soils and are formed in mixed outwash and eolian deposits. Typical surface layer is brown sandy loam about 12 inches thick underlain by pale brown calcareous fine sandy loam to 60 inches. Otero Sandy Loam soils have rapid permeability and moderate available water capacity. Surface runoff is slow. The hazard of erosion by wind and water is low. Kim Loam,1 - 3 percent (map unit 32) - A small strip of Kim Loam soils occurs through the center of property above the Poudre River floodplain. These are deep, well drained soils on smooth plains and alluvial fans formed in mixed eolian deposits. A typical surface layer is brown and pale brown loam about 12 inches thick underlain by pale brown loam and pale brown fine sandy loam to 60 inches. Kim loam soils have moderate permeability and high available water capacity. Surface runoff is medium and erosion hazard is low. Otero Sandy Loam, 3 - 5 percent (map unit 52) - A small strip of Otero Sandy Loam soils occurs through the center of the eastern above the Poudre River floodplain. These are deep, well drained soils on plains formed in mixed outwash and eolian deposits. A typical surface layer is brown sandy loam about 10 inches thick underlain by pale brown calcareous fine sandy loam to 60 inches. Otero Sandy Loam soils have rapid permeability and moderate available water capacity. Surface runoff is medium. The hazard of erosion by wind and water is low Poudre River Floodplain - Lowland Riparian Habitat Aquolls and Aquents, gravelly substratum (Map unit 3) - These are nearly level soils on bottomlands and floodplains that occur across the center of the property. Aquolls and Aquents are deep, poorly drained soils that are formed in recent alluvium. No one pedon is typical. Soils typically have a mottled, mildly alkaline to moderately alkaline loamy or clayey surface layer and are layer of sand and gravel to 48 inches. The water table is at or near the surface in spring and during peak irrigation season. Thus these soils are subjected to excessive runoff. Wetlands 4, 7, 8 and 9 occur in this soil type. Bankard Sandy Loam, 0 - 3 percent (map unit 10) - are deep, somewhat excessively drained soils on flood plains that occur along the Cache La Poudre River. They are formed in stratified recent alluvium along streams and rivers. A representative profile includes a surface layer of brown sandy loam about 4 inches thick underlain with pale brown, calcareous sand stratified with sandy loam, loam and fine gravel to 60". Bankard Sandy Loam soils have moderately rapid permeability and low available water capacity. Surface runoff is slow and erosion hazard by wind and water is low. Wetland 1, 2, 3, 6 and 7 occur in this soil type. Parsons Mine DRMS 112 Reclamation Permit Application Page J2 of B
