. groundwater that breaks the surface, either naturally or through human perturbation, locally creating <br />more mesic vegetative conditions and providing a year -round source of water for wildlife. <br />2.3 Soils <br />According to the United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service <br />Soil Data Mart, there are four soil classifications that occur within the project area, which are <br />depicted in Figure 5 and have been summarized below. None of the soils mapped onsite is considered <br />hydric. <br />2 — ABSAROKEE -WORK LOAMS, 6 TO 25 PERCENT SLOPES is a well- drained upland soil occurring on <br />valley sides. The parent material consists of weathered sandstone. Depth to a root restrictive layer, lithic <br />bedrock, is 20 to 40 inches, to greater than 60 inches. Water movement in the most restrictive layer is <br />moderately low. Available water to a depth of 60 inches is moderate to low. Shrink -swell potential is <br />moderate to high. This soil neither floods nor ponds. There is no zone of water saturation within a depth <br />of 72 inches. Organic matter content in the surface horizon is about 2 to 4 percent. This soil does not meet <br />hydric criteria. <br />1* 13 — BEENIM- ABSAROKEE ASSOCIATION, 20 TO 60 PERCENT SLOPES is a well- drained upland soil <br />occurring on mountain slopes. The parent material consists of weathered sandstone and shale. Depth to a <br />root restrictive layer, lithic bedrock, lithic, is 10 to 40 inches. Water movement in the most restrictive <br />layer ranges from moderately low to moderately high. Available water to a depth of 60 inches is low to <br />very low. Shrink -swell potential ranges from low to high. This soil neither floods nor ponds. There is no <br />zone of water saturation within a depth of 72 inches. Organic matter content in the surface horizon is <br />about 2 to 4percent. This soil does not meet hydric criteria. <br />74 — TORRIORTHENTS- HAPLARGIDS COMPLEX, VERY STONY is a well- drained upland soil occurring <br />on valleys and fans. Slopes range from 3 to 12 percent. The parent material consists of locally transported <br />stony residuum. Depth to a root restrictive layer is greater than 60 inches. Water movement in the most <br />restrictive layer is moderately high. Available water to a depth of 60 inches is low. Shrink -swell potential <br />is low. This soil neither floods nor ponds. There is no zone of water saturation within a depth of 72 <br />inches. Organic matter content in the surface horizon is about 1 percent. This soil does not meet hydric <br />criteria. <br />0 75 — TORRIORTHBNTS -ROCK OUTCROP, SANDSTONE, COMPLEX is a well- drained upland soil <br />occurring on mountains. Slopes are 20 to 50 percent. The parent material consists of stony loamy <br />4 <br />
