2. SEDCAD+ INPUT PARAMETERS COMMON TO ALL <br />ANALYSES <br />r <br />2.1 Storm Type <br />The Storm Type was selected as SCS Type IL The SEDCAD+ model (hydrograph convolution interval) time <br />increment was selected as 0.1 hour. <br />2.2 Soil Type <br />The site is located within Soil Mapping Unit Number 31 (Permit). The soil type is representative of the Holderness, <br />Morop, Absarokee, and Work Series, among other similar soils (Permit). SEDCAD+ soil input parameters include <br />(Soils of Colorado, Loss Factors and Erodibility Hydrologic Groupings, 1983, Soil Conservation Service) K (a <br />measure of susceptibility of soil particles to detachment and transport by rainfall and runoff) soil erodibility = 0.32, <br />and a hydrologic group of C. There is a large fraction of cobble size material in the colluvium of the site. For <br />the purposes of the SEDCAD+ analysis, the "erodible portion" of the material is classified as a clay loam soil. <br />A "type" particle distribution of the "erodible fraction ", presented in the following table, is used in this analysis. <br />Table 2.2 -1 Particle Size Distribution <br />Screen Sizes in mm <br />Percent of Eroded Particle Size Fraction Passing <br />4.00 <br />100 <br />2.00 <br />99 <br />1.00 <br />90 <br />0.500 <br />88 <br />0.250 <br />85 <br />0.125 <br />82 <br />0.063 <br />74 <br />0.016 <br />56 <br />0.004 <br />38 <br />0.0001 <br />0 <br />2.3 Vegetation <br />The vegetation of the site is primarily oak brush with chokecherry and serviceberry. There is a good layer <br />(minimum of 2 inches) of brush litter on the ground. There is a small patch of Pinion - Oak in the area. <br />• (West Elk Lone Pine Gulch Development Waste Pile SAE, 12 October 1995, Page 3 of 7) E <br />
