Re: Crull Exemption
GARFIE7D GU, , 3+
We have reviewed the material submitted for the above referenced
exemption application. The developer proposes to use wells for the water
supply which would intercept ground water tributary to the Roaring Fork
River at a point where there is still water available for appropriation. This
office can issue individual domestic well permits to individual lot pur-
chasers and we recommend approval of the Crull Exemption.

16 inches, the average annual air temperature is 42 to 4o degrees

native vegetation is mainly 411111 conifer trees, woody shrubs,
grasses, and forms.

$I01 This unit is 45 percent Tridell and 35 percent Brownsto.
The components of this unit are so intricately intermingled that
it was not practical to map them separately at the scale used.
$I01 Included in this unit are small areas of Forelle and
Evanston soils in less sloping areas of clearings. Also included
are small areas of basaltic, 1 o-ek outcrop and soils that are
"imilar to this Tridell soil but have less gravel and stones.
Included areas make up about 20 percent of the total acreage.
$101 The Tridell soil is deep and somewhat excessively drained.
It formed in alluvium and colluvium derived dominantly from
sandstone and basalt. Typically, the upper part of the surface
layer is grayish brown gravelly fine sandy loam about 2 inches
thick. The lower part is grayish brown very cobbly fine sandy
loafs about 7 inches thick. The upper 16 inches of the underlying
material is very cobbly fine sandy loan. The next 12 inches is
very stony fine sandy loam. The lower part to a depth of 5u
inches is very stony loamy sand. Depth to hard basalt ranges
from 40 to 70 inches. The soil is calcareous throughout the
., rofile. A thin layer of partially decomposed needles, twigs,
and leaves is on the surface in many places.

Available water capacity is low. Effective rooting depth is 20

s very high.
$141 The Brownsto soil is deep and well drained. It formed in
alluvium derived dominantly from coarse textured calcareous
sandstone and basalt. Typically, the upper part of the surface
layer is light brownish gray gravelly sandy loam about 4 inches
thick. The lower part is light gray loam about 7 inches thick.
The upper 10 inches of the underlying material is gravelly sandy
loam. The next 12 inches is gravelly loamy sand. The lower part
to a depth of 60 inches is gravelly sandy loam. A thin layer of
partially decomposed needles, twigs, and leaves is on the surface
in many places.
101 Permeability of the Brownsto soil is moderately rapid.
Available water capacity is low. Effective rooting depth is 20
to 40 inches. Runoff is moderately rapid, and the hazard of
water erosion is very high.
*101 This unit is used mainly for livestock grazing and wildlife
habitat. It is also used for firewood, posts, Christmas trees,
and limited homesite development.
$101 The potential plant community on the fridell soil is mainly
pinyon pine and Utan juniper with an understory of biuebunch
wheatgrass, Indian ricegrass, Wyoming big sagebrush, and
uuttongrass. On the Brownsto soil it is mainly Wyoming big
sagebrush, needleandthreati, Indian ricegrass, western wheatgrass,
nd scattered pinyon pine and Utah juniper. Other vegetation
commonly present in the potential plant community on these soils
•r. ,, rr,> :ai 1 antelo''e bi t'-.erbrusk and Lrue
mountalnmahogauy. TA'average annual pruductiorif native
,....,understory vegetation on the Tridell soil is about 300 pounds of
it -dry vegetation per acre. The average annual production of
air-dry vegetation on the Brownsto soil is about 600 pounds per
acre.
EXHIBIT "E" Page 8
$101 If the range condition deteriorates, Wyoming big sagebrush,
cheatgrass, and annual weeds increase. These plants are dominant
when the range is in poor condition; therefore, grazing should be
managed so that the desired balance of species is maintained in
the plant community. Management practices suitable for use on
this unit are proper grazing use and a planned grazing system.
Slope limits access by livestock and results in overgrazing of
the less sloping areas. Mechanical treatment is not practical,
because the surface is stony and the slopes are steep. Selective
*inning of the pinyon and juniper improves the quality of the
understory for grazing and provides firewood, posts, and
Christmas trees.
$I01 The Tridell soil is suited to limited production of pinyon
pine and Utah juniper. The average annual production is
cords per acre. The average stocking rate is /- r," trees per
acre. To insure sustained yields and continued use, the kind of
wood production should be considered before using management
practices such as thinning and cleaning. Special care is needed
to minimize erosion ww.sri thin Trig and when applying other forest
management practices. The low available water capacity generally
influences seedling survival in areas where understory plants are
amerous.

fir ---'-tones in the soil. Erosion is a hazard in the steeper areas.
,n1y the part of the site that is used for construction should be
disturbed. Topsoil can be stockpiled and used to reclaim areas
disturbed during construction. Plans for homesite development
should provide for the preservation of as many trees as possible.
Removal of pebbles and cobbles in disturbed areas is needed for
best results when landscaping, particularly in areas used for
lawns. Areas in this unit adjacent to hillsides are occasionally
affected by runoff, which may also be accompanied by movement of
rock debris. Population growth has resulted in increased
construction of homes on this unit.

The Tridell soil is in Pinyon -Juniper woodland site and the
ownsto soil is in Stony Foothills Range site.

Crespin Loam, 6 to 25 percent slopes
This is a deep, well drained soil on mountain sidesloprs at elevations of
0 to 9500 feet. It formed in alluvi im from Niobrara and Benton shales and
aan'istone. The average annual precipitation is about 20 inches, mean annual
tr temperature is aboqt 41°F., and the average frost-free.period is about
75 days.
Included in this unit are small areas of shale outcrops.
Typically the surface layer is dark grayish -brown loam about 4 inches
think. The subsurface is dark grayish -brown clay about 50 inches thick.
Clayey textured material extends below 60 inches.
Pnrmeabtlitv is slow. ';ffecti'r ' rooting; depth is 25 to 40 inches.
.i+able water capacity is 0.14 to 0.16 in./in. Surface runoff is rabid and
erosion hazard is high.
Thier soil is ,)sed for rangeland. Urban development is limited due to the
textured soil (high shrink -swell, low strength, and slow permeability).
