<br />make up from about 15 to 35 percent of the soil material. Representative <br />profiles of the Schofield and Peeler gravelly sandy loams, 25 to 60 percent <br />slopes, are included herein. <br />The Matcher series are sandy-skeletal, mixed Typic Cryumbrepts and <br />consist of well drained, sloping to very steep soils that formed in <br />granitic glacial moraines under a lodgepole pine vegetation cover. The <br />mean annual precipitation is about 20 inches, and the mean annual soil <br />temperature is about 36°F. Permeability is rapid and available water <br />capacity is low. Forest litter is typically about three inches thick over <br />approximately a nine inch thick grayish brown stony sandy loam surface <br />soil. The subsoil is a stony sandy loam. A representative profile of the <br />Matcher stony sandy loam, five to 25 percent slopes, is included herein. <br />Histosols occupy concave sites and relatively level areas along major <br />streams.. In the subject area they form a narrow band immediately adjacent <br />to Gold Creek towards the southerly side of the permit area. This type of <br />soil is composed of fiberous, relatively undecomposed material (twigs, <br />grasses, roots) ranging from about three to 16 inches thick overlying <br />material which ranges from silty clay to mixed sand, gravel and cobbles. <br />Typically runoff is slow and the potential for water erosion is slight. <br />-4-
