This report shoxs the degree and kind of soil limitations that affect shallor excavations, dnellings rith and lithout
basements, smail commercial buildings, local roads and streets, and latns and landscaping. The limitations are
"SIight", "l'loderate",0r "Severe". The limitations are considered Slight" if soil properties and site features are
generaily favorable for the indicated use and Iimitaions are minor and easily overconte; "l'loderate" if soil properties
or site features are not favorable for the indicated use and special planning, design, or maintenance is needed to
gvercome or minimize the timitations; and "severe" if soil properties or site features are so unfavorable or so
difficult to overcome that special design, significant increases in construction costs, and possibly increased
maintenance are required. Special feasibility studies may be required rhere the soil limitations are severe.
S|IALL0[{ EXCAVAII0I{S ara trenches or ho}es dug to a maximum depth of 5 or 6 feet for basements, graves, utility lines,
open ditches, and other purposes. The ratings are based on soil properties, site fealures, and observed performance of
the soils. The ease of digging, filling, and compacting is affected by the depth to bedrock, a cemented pan, or a very
firm dense layer; stone content; soil texture; and slope. Ihe time of the year that excavations can be made is
affected by the depth to a seasonal high ltater table and the susceptibility of the soil to flooding. Ihe resistance of
the excavation ralis or bands to sloughing or caving is affected by soil [exture and the depth to the nater table.
DIIELLItIGS AtiD Sl'lATL C0l'IfIERCIAL BUItDIIIGS are structures buiit on shallott foundations on undisturbed soii. Ihe load
limit is the same as that for single-famiiy dwellings no higher than three stories. Ratings are made for small
commercial buiidings without basements, for dnellings with basements, and for dwellings nithoul basements. The ratings
are based on soil properties, site features, and observed performance of the soils. A high nater table, depth to bedrock
or to a cemented pan, large stones, slope, and flooding affect the ease of excavation and construction. Landscaping
and grading that require cuts and fills of more than 5 or 6 feet are not considered.
L0CAL R0ADS At{D STREETS have an ali-neather surface and carry automobiie and Iight truck traffic al} year. They
have a subgrade of cut or fill soil material, a base of gravel, mushed rock, or stabilized soil material, and a
ftexible or rigid surface. Culs and fi]Is are generaliy properties, site features, and observed performance of the
soils. Depth to bedrock or to a cemented pan, a high nater table, flooding, large stones, and slope affect the ease of
excavating and grading. Soil strength (as inferred from the engineering classification of the soil), shrink-sweli
potential, frost action potential, and depth to a high water table affect ihe traffic-supporting capacity.
LAI{11S AliD TAIIDSCAPII{G require soils on which turf and ornamental trees and shrubs can be established and
maintained. The ratings are based on soil properties, site features, and observed performance of the soils. Soil
reaction, a high water table, depth to bedrock or to a cemented pan, the available water capacity in the upper 40
inches, and the content of salts, sodium, and sulfidic materials affect plant grotth. Fiooding, netness, siope,
stoniness, and the amount of sand, clay, or organic matter in the surface layer affect trafficability after vegetation
is esiablished.

Iheratings are base on soil properties, site features, and observed performance of the soils. permeability, a highnater table, depth to bedrock or to a cemented pan, and flooding affect absorption of the effluent. Large stonesand bedrock or a cemented pan interfere rrith instailation. unsitisfactory performance of septic tank absorption fields,including excessively slow absorption of effiuent, surfacing of eifluent, and hillside seepage, can affect public health.Groundwater can be poliuted if highly permeable sand and grivel or fractured bedrock is less than 4 feet belor thebase of the absorption field, if slope is excessive, or ii the water table is near the surface. There must beunsaturated soii material beneath the absorption fieid to filter the effluent effectively. I'tany local ordinancesrequire that this material be of a certain thickness. vr rwvlrYvry'|

cemented pan, a high nater table, slope, and flooding affect both types of landfilt. Iexiure, stones and boulders,
highly organic layers, soil reaction, and content of salts and sodium affect trench type Iandfiils. Unless othernisestated, the ratings apply only to that part of the soil nithin a depth of about 6 feet, For deeper trenches, alimitation rate "slight" or "ttoderate" may not be valid. 0nsite investigation is needed.
DAILY C0VER FOR LAI{DTILL is the soil material that is used to cover compacted solid naste in an area type sanitarylandfill. The soil material is obtained offsite, transported to the Iandfill, and spread over the raste,Soil texture, letness, coarse fragments, and siope affect the ease of removing and spreading the material during ret
and dry periods' Loamy or silty soils that are free of large stones or excess gravel are the best cover for aIandfili. Clayey soils may be sticky or cloddy and are difficult to spread; sandy soiis are subject to soilbloning' After soil materiai has been removed, the soil material remaining in thi borron area must be thick enough
over bedrock, a cemented pan' or the nater table to permit revegetation. Ihe soil material used as final cover for alandfill should be suitable for plants. Ihe surface Iayer generally has the best rorkabiiity, more organic matter than
the rest of the profile, and the best potential for plants. l,laterial from the surface layer should be stockpiled for use

This report gives estimates of various soil features. Ihe estimates are used in ]and use planning that involvesengineering considerations.
Depth to bedrock is given if bedrock is rithin a depth of 5 feet. Ihe depth is based 0n ,,any soil borings and onobservations during soil mapping. The rock is either "soft" or illard". if ttre roct< is "sott,,or fractured, excavationscan be made rith trenching machines, backhoes, or small rippers. If the rock is "llard" or tnassive, blasting orspecial equipment generally is needed for excavation.
cemented pans are cemented or indurated subsurface layers *ithin a depth of 5 feet. such pans cause difficulty inexcavation' Pans are classified as "Ihin" or "Ihick". A'Thin;ifan is less ilran t incrres thick if continuouslyindurated or less than 18 inches thick if discontinuous or fractured. Excavations can be made by trenching machines,backhoes' or smaii rippers. A "Thick" pan is more than 3 inches thick if continuously indurated or m0re than iginches thick if discontinuous or fractured. such a pan is so thick or massive that biasting or speciai equipment isneeded in excavation.
subsidence is the settlement of organic soils or of saturated ninerar soils of very low density. subsidenceresults from either desiccation and shrinkage or oxidation of organic material, or both, folloring drainage.subsidence takes place gradually, usually over a period of severil years. This report shons the expected initialsubsidence, which usually is a result of drainage, ano totai suuriornrr, nhich usuaily is a resuit of oxidation. t{otsholn in the report is subsidence caused by an imposed surface loal or by the rithdraral of ground rater throughoutan extensive area as a result of lowering the tater table.
Potential frost action is the likelihood of up*ard or iateral expansion of the soil caused by the formation ofsegregated ice lenses (frost heave) and the subsequent collapse oi ttre soit and loss of strength on thaling. lrostaction occurs lhen moisture moves into the freezing zone of ilre soit. Iemperature, texture, density, permeability,content of organic matter, and depth to the tater table are the most importanl faciors ronsiaereu in evaluating thepotential for frost action' It is assumed that the soil is not insulated by vegetation or snor and is not artificiallydrained' silty and highly structured ciayey soils that trave a trigh rater tabie in rinter are the most susceptible tofrost action' l{eli drained, very gravelly, 0r vBry sandy soils aie the Ieast susceptible. Frost heave and lon soilstrength during thawing cause damage mainly to pavements and other rigid structures.
Risk of corrosion pertains to potential soil-induced electrochemicai or chemical action that dissolves or reakensuncoated steel or conffete' Ihe rate of corrosion of uncoated steel is related to such rartors as soil moisture,particle-size distribution, acidity, and electrical conductivity oi-ttre soit. The rate of corrosion of concreteis based mainly on the sulfate and sodium content, texture, moiiture content, and acidity of the soil. specialsite examination and design may be needed if the combination of factors *eates a severe corrosion environment. Ihe steelinstaliations that intersect soil boundaries or soil iayers is more susceptible to corrosion than steei ininstailations that are entirely rithin one kind of soil or nithin one soil layer, For uncoated steel, the risk ofcorrosion, expressed as "Lor", "Moderate", or "High", is naiea on roit arrinrg, class, total acidity, electricalresistivity near field capacity, and electrical conductivity of the saturation extract.
For conffete, the risk of corrosion is also expressed as "Lon", "l,loderate'', or "High". it is based on soii texture,acidity, and amount of sulfates in the saturation extract.

In areas that have similar climate and topography, differences in the kind and amount of vegetation produced on
rangeland are closely related to the kind of soil. Effective management is based on the relationship betrleen
the soiis and vegetation and ttater. Ihis report shows, for each soil, the range site; the total annual
production of vegetation in favorable, normal, and unfavorable years; the characteristic vegetation; and the
average percentage of each species. Only those soils lhat are used as rangeland or are suited to use as
rangeland are listed. An explanation of lhe column headings in this report follows.
RAIIGE SIIE is a distinctive kind of rangeland that produces a characteristic natural plant community that
differs from natural piant communities on other range sites in kind, amount and proportion of range plants.
Ihe relationship betweeen soils and vegetation nas ascertained during this survey; thus, range sites generally
can be determined directly from the soil map. Soil properties that affect moisture supply and plant nutrients
have the greatest influence on the productiuity of range plants. Soil reaction, sait conient, and a seasonal
high nater table are also important.
T0IAL PR0DUcil0l{ is the amounI of vegetation that can be expected to grorr annuai]y on well managed rangeland
that is supporting the potential natural plant community. It includes all vegetation, *hether or not it is
palatable to grazing animals. It inciudes the current year's growth of leaves, twigs, and fruits of noodypiants. It does not include the increase in stem diameter of trees and shrubs.It is expressed in pounds per acre of air-dry vegetation for favorable, normal, and unfavorable years. In a
favorable year, the amount and distribution of precipitation and the temperatures make groring conditions
substantialiy better lhan average. In a normai year, groning conditions are about average, In an unfavorable
year, gro*ing conditions are rrell below average, generally because of lon available soil moisture, Dry rleightis the total annuai yield per acre of air-dry vegetation. Yields are adjusted to a common percent of air-dry
moisture content. The relationship of green ueight to air-dry neight varies according fo such factors as
exp0sure, amount of shade, recent rains, and unseasonable dry periods.
C11ARACITRISIIC VEGTIATI0l{ The grasses, forbs, and shrubs that make up most of the potential naiural plant
community on each soil is iisted by common name.
Under COflPOSIil0li the expected percenlage of the total annuai produclion is given for each species making up
the characteristic vegetation. The amount that can be used as forage depends on the kinds of grazing animals
and on the grazing season.
Range management requires a knouledge of the kinds of soil and of the potential natural plant community. It
also requires an evaluation of the present range condition. Range condition is determined by comparing the
present plani community nith the potential naiural piant community on a particular range site. The more
closely the existing community resembles the potential community, the better the range condition. Range
condition is an ecological rating only. The objective in range management is to coniroi grazing so thit the
plants growing on a site are about the same in kind and amount as the potential natural plant community for
that sile' Such management generally resuits in the optimum production of vegetation, conlrol of undesirable
brush species, eonservation of nater, and control of erosion. Sometimes, h0never, a range condition somethat
beiol{ ihe potential meets grazing needs, provides wildlife habitat, and protecls soil and water resources.

Endnote -- I{ATER FEATURES
This report gives estimates of various soil rater features. The estimates are used in land use planning that involvesengineering considerations.
llydrologic soil groups are used to estimate runoff from precipitation. soils not protected by vegetation areassigned to one of four groups. They are grouped according to the infiltration of water |{hen the soils are thoroughlynet and receive precipitation from long-duration storms. Ihe four hydrologic soil groups rrr,""-
JsrrJ qIe urruruur
Group " A'. Soils having a high infiltration rate (low
runoff potentiar) .,hen thoroughly net. Ihese consisi mainlyof deep, well drained to excessively drained sands orgraveliy sands. Ihese soijs have a high rate of nater
transmission.
Group "8"' soiis having a moderate infiltration rate nhen
thoroughly ttet. These consist chiefly of moderately deep or
deep, moderately well drained or rell drained soils that
have moderately fine texture to moderateiy coarse texture.
These soiis haye a moderate rale of water transmission.
Group 'C". SoiIs having a slon infiltration rate rhen
thoroughly net. These consist chiefly of soils having a
layer that impedes the dornnard o,ove,nent of uater or soilsof modarately fine texture or fine texture. Ihese soijs
have a slon rate of xater transmission.
Group "D". Soils having a very slor infiltration rate (high
runoff potential) nhen thoroughly net. These consist
chiefly of clays that have a high shrink_swell potential,
soils that have a permanent high rater table, soils that'
have a ciaypan or clay layer at 0r near the surface, andsoils that are shalior over nearly impervious material.
Ihese soils have a very slot rate of later transmission.
If a soil is assigned to tro hydrologic groups in this report, the first letter is for drained areas and the secondis for undrained areas' .Flooding, the tempoiary inundation of rn rrru, is caused by overfiowing streams, by runoff fromadjacent slopes, or by tides. l{ater standing for short periods atier raintau or snonmelt is not consideredflooding, nor is nater in sl{amps and marshes. Ihis report gives the frequency and duration of flooding andthe time of year nhen flooding is most tikely. Frequency, duration, and probable dates of occurrence are estimated.
Frequency is expressed as "l{one", "Rare", "0ccasionai", and "Frequent". "lione" means that flooding is not probable;"Rare" that it is unlikely but possible under unusual reather conditions; "0ccasional" that it occurs, on theaverage, 0nce or less in 7 years; and ''Frequent" that it occurs, on the average, tnore than once in 2 years.
Duration is expressed as"very brief if iess than 2 days, "grief if 2 to 7 days, 'Long, if 7 to 30 days, and,,verylong" if more than 30 days. The information is based on evidence in tne soil profile, nameiy thin strata of gravel,sand' silt, or clay deposited by floodnater; irreguiar decrease in organic matter conlent nith increasing depth;and absence of distinctive horizons that form in ioils that are not-subject to flooding. Also considered are localinformation about the extent and leveis of flooding and the relation of each soil on the landscape to historic floods.

Information on the extent of fiooding based on soil data is less specific than that provided by detailed engineeringsurveys that deiineate flood-prone areas at specific flood frequency levels.
lligh nater table (seasonal) is the highest ievel of a saturated zone in the soil in most years. Ihe depth to aseasonal high water tabte applies to undrained soils. Ihe estimates are based mainly on ihe evidence of a saturatedzone, nameiy grayish colors or mottles in the soi]. Indicated in this report are tni orpin to the seasonal highxater table; the kind of later table, that is, "Apparent", "Artesian", or"'percheu;;,no"ir'1, months of the year thatthe water table commonly is high. A water table that is seasonaliy high for Iess than I month is not indicated inthis report.
An "Apparent" water table is a thick zone of free nater in the soil. It is indicated by the ievel at nhich l{aterstands in an uncased borehole after adequate time is alloned for adjustment in the surrounding soil.
An "Artesian" water table exists under a hydrostatic beneath an impermeable layer. l{hen the impermeable layer has beenpenetrated by a cased borehole, the rater rises. Ihe final Ievel of the nater in the cased borehole is characterized asan artesian rater table.
A 'Perched nater table is water standing above an unsaturated zone. In piaces an upper, or "perched,,, Hatertable is separated from a lower one by a dry zone. 0nly saturated rones nithin a lepit of about 6 feet arei ndi ca ted.
Ponding is standing nater in a closed depression. Ihe water is removed only by deep percolation, transpiration,evaporation, or a combination of these processes.
ihis report gives the depth and duration of ponding and the time of year nhen ponding is most ]ikely. Depth, duration,and probable dates of occurrence are estimated
Depth is expressed as the depth of ponded nater in feet above the soil surface. Duration is expressed as "verybrief" if ]ess than 2 days,"Brief" if 2 to 7 days, "Long' if z to so days, and "very long" if more than J0 days. Theinformation is based on the relation of each soii on the landscape to historic ponding ani on local information aboutthe extent and levels of ponding.

AVAILABLE I{AIER CAPACIIY refers to the quantity of nater that the soil is capable of storing for use byplants' The capacity for nater storage'is given in inches of nriu per inch of soil io, er.r, major soii layer.Ihe capacity varies, depending on soii properties that affect tne-retention of rater and the depth of the rootzone' The most imporlant properties are the content of organic matter, soil texture, bulk density, and soilstructure' Available nater capacity is an important factoi in the choice of plants 0r crops to be gronn and inthe design and management of irrigaiion ryrirrr. Available uater capacity is not rn rriirrt, of the quantity ofnater actually available to plants at any given time.
sllRIt{l(-st{ELL P0TEl{IIAL is the potential for volume change in a soil rith a loss or gain of moisture. voiumechange occurs mainiy because of the interaction of ciay minerals *ith rater and r.ries rith the amount and typeof clay minerals in the soil' Ihe size of the load on the soil rna tn, magnitude of the change in soij moisturecontent influence the amount of sneiling of soils in piace. iroorrtor;, measurements of sneliing of undisturbedclods lere made for many.soiis' For ot[ers, s|{elling nas estimated on the basis of the kind and amount ofclay minerals in the soil and on measuremenis of simiiar soils. ti the shrink-snell potential is rated moderateto very high' shrinking and sreliing can cause damage to uuiioingr, roads, and other structures. special designis often needed' shrink-snell potentiai ri.rr., are based on tne change in length of an unconfined clod asmoisture content is inffeased from air-dry io tirro rrprrity.

Dear Planning Staff:
Please find my compteted application for an exemption request. t am requestingto split the 160 acre farm I own into two parcels of approximately five acres each,one parcel of approximately eight acres, and keep the remain ing 142acres in myranching operation. The three smaller parcels being created lie on the southeastcorner of my ranch and are all accessible to County-Ro ad 210. I intend to sellthese three parcels so that I hopefully can continue ranching the remainingranch.
I have obtained a domestic well permit and plan on drilling a welt that will beshared by the three parcels and would be located on parcel #3. A shared welluse agreement will be recorded before the parcels are sold. The proposedsewage disposal system will be individual septic systems that meet ioloradoHealth Standards.
Thank you for your time and attention in this matter.
December 31, 1gg6
Sincerely,
Jeff Craw \41 u*'6-
