This is a deep, well drained soil on sloping fans and high terraces. It forzued in highly saline alluvium from sandstone and shale. Elevation ranges from 5,100 to 6,200 feet. The average annual precipitation is about 12 inches, the average annual air temperature is about 48 degrees F., and the average frost -free period is about 120 days. Typically, the surface layer is pale brown loam about 3 inches thick. The subsoil is brown silty clay loam about 14 inches thick. The substratum is light brown or brown silty clay loam that extends to a depth of 60 inches or more. Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of Limon, Kim, Heldt, and Wane_soils all on similar slopes. Also some areas high in silt are included. Permeability of the Arvada soil is moderately slow. Effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more. Available water capacity is high. Organic matter content in the surface is low. Surface runoff is medium and the erosion hazard is moderate. This soil is used mainly for wildlife habitat, limited livestock grazing, and some irrigated farming. Irrigation methods suitable for this soil are borders, furrows, and corrugations. Leaching is a requirement to remove excess salts when this soil is irrigated. Commercial fertilizers containing sulfates and carbonates are preferred to obtain reasonable production of alfalfa, corn, and small grains. X33BC-Arvada loam 2 The native vegetation on this soil is mainly saltgrass, western wheatgrass, alkali sacaton, and greasewood. When the range condition deteriorates, forbs and woody shrubs increase. Proper grazing management maintains and improves range condition. Seeding is advisable if the range is in poor condition. Suitable plants for seeding are western wheatgrass, alkali sacaton, and tall wheatgrass. For successful seeding, a good practice is to prepare a seedbed and drill the seed. Temporary irrigation of a new seeding may be required for successful establishment. Reduction in brush improves deteriorated range sites, provided there is adequate grass understory. Arvada soil is used by cottontail rabbits and pheasants for shelter when they can obtain food from surrounding areas. This soil has poor potential for sanitary facilities, community development, and source material. The high shrink -swell potential, slow permeability, and soil salinity are the main limiting features.
