TABLE I (continued) <br />RD&D LEASE COC-69166 <br />SOIL MAP UNIT CHARACTERISTICS <br />Footnotes: <br />I <br />Percent of Map Unit: The remaining percent is composed of soil inclusions. See Rio Blanco County Soil Survey for their listing. <br />2 <br />Profile descriptions taken from Soil Survey of Rio Blanco County Area Colorado (Tripp et. al. revised 1992). Texture abbreviations: Al (fine sandy loam), vfsl (very fine sandy loam), <br /> scl (sandy clay <br />loam). Coarse fragment modifier abbreviations: Chan. (channery), v. chan. (very channery), ext. chan. (extremely channery). Channery is a soil layer with more than 15% thin, flat fragments <br /> of <br />sandstone, shale, or limestone as much as 6 inches along the longest axis. Flaggy is a thin fragment of sandstone, shale, or limestone that is 6 to 15 inches long. <br />3 <br />Acres obtained from digitized soil maps. RD&D Lease COC-69166 is approximately 152 total acres. <br />4 <br />Land capability classification shows the suitability of soils for most kinds of field crops. Class IV soils have very severe limitations that reduce the choice of plants or that require <br /> very careful <br />management, or both. Class V soils are not likely to erode but have other limitations, impractical to remove, that limit their use. Class VI soils have severe limitations that make them <br /> generally <br />unsuitable for cultivation. Class VII soils have very severe limitations that make them unsuitable for cultivation. Capability subclasses are soil groups with one class. The letter a <br /> shows that the main <br />limitation is risk of erosion unless close growing plant cover is maintained. <br />5 <br />Range/Woodland Sites taken from Soil Survey of Rio Blanco County (Tripp et. al. revised 1992). A range site is a distinctive kind of rangeland that produces a characteristic natural <br /> plant community <br />that differs from natural plant communities on other range sites in kind, amount, and proportion of range plants. A woodland site is for map units dominated by woodland and identifies <br /> the type of <br />woodland present. <br />0 0 0 17
