Native <br />warm season plants begin growth about May 1 and continue to about August 15. Regrowth of cool <br />season plants occurs in September and October of most years, depending on moisture. <br />Minimum Maximum <br />Frost -free period (days): 147 162 <br />Freeze -free period (days): 169 186 <br />Mean Annual Precipitation (inches): 10 14 <br />Average Monthly Precipitation (inches) and Temperature ( °F): <br />For detailed information visit the Western Regional Climate Center at http: / /www.wrcc.dri.edu/ <br />website. <br />Influencing Water Features <br />Wetland Description: System Subsystem Class Sub -class <br />None None None None None <br />Stream Type: None <br />Representative Soil Features <br />The soils of this site are very shallow and shallow. Permeability . is moderate. Typically these soils <br />formed in slope alluvium and residuum from limestone. They occur on hills, ridges, scarps, cuestas, <br />mesas, and plains. The available water capacity is typically very low or low. The surface layer ranges <br />from 2 to 7 inches thick and is typically loam or channery loam. Rock fragment content ranges from 0 <br />to 35 percent. Limestone occurs at depths of 6 to 20 inches. The pH of these soils generally ranges <br />from moderately alkaline to strongly alkaline. The soil moisture regime is ustic aridic but ranges to <br />aridic in the driest areas of MLRA 69. The soil temperature regime is mesic. <br />Technical Guide <br />Section IIE <br />2 <br />USDA NRCS <br />Rev. 3/04 <br />
