SUBJECT PROPERTY
RIFLE AREA, COLORADO 33
Permeability of the Potts soil is moderate, and availa-
ble water capacity is high. Effective rooting depth is 60
inches or more. Surface runoff is slow, and the erosion
hazard is moderate.
The Ildefonso soil is deep and well drained. Typically,
the surface layer is brown stony loam about 8 inches
thick. The underlying material is white, calcareous very
stony loam that extends to a depth of 60 inches.
Permeability of the Ildefonso soil is moderately rapid,
and available water capacity is low. Effective rooting
depth is about 60 inches. Surface runoff is slow, and the
erosion hazard is moderate.
Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of
Olney and Kim soils that have slopes of 3 to 12 percent.
These areas make up 5 to 15 percent of the map unit.
These soils are used mainly for limited grazing and
wildlife habitat.
The native vegetation on the Potts soil is mainly
wheatgrass, needleandthread, and sagebrush. The
native vegetation on the Ildefonso soil is mainly pinyon
and Utah juniper and an understory of Indian ricegrass,
wheatgrass, junegrass, serviceberry, bitterbrush, and sa-
gebrush.
When the understory vegetation deteriorates, grasses
almost disappear and forbs and shrubs increase. Proper-
ly managing grazing maintains and improves range con-
dition on both soils. Seeding improves range on the
Potts soil if it is in poor condition. Crested wheatgrass,
western wheatgrass, and Russian wildrye are suitable for
seeding. Preparing a seedbed and drilling the seed are
good practices. Reducing brush on the Potts soil im-
proves the range. Properly managing the vegetation on
the Ildefonso soil maintains wood production and graz-
ing. Selectively thinning pinyon and juniper improves
grazing and provides firewood, posts, and Christmas
trees.
The Ildefonso soil is suited to production of pinyon and
Utah juniper. It can produce 9 cords of wood per acre
when trees more than 4.5 feet tall reach an average
diameter (at one foot) of 5 inches. The low available
water capacity affects survival of tree seedlings.
Mule deer, wild turkey, chukar, gray squirrel, cottontail
rabbit, and some pheasant find habitat on these soils.
Community development is limited on the Potts soil by
low strength, shrink -swell potential, and slope. Communi-
ty development is limited on the Ildefonso soil by steep
slopes.
This complex is in capability subclass Vle, nonirrigated.
58—Potts-Ildefonso complex, 12 to 25 percent
slopes. These strongly sloping to hilly soils are on
mesas, alluvial fans, and sides of valleys. Elevation
ranges from 5,000 to 6,500 feet. The Potts soil formed in
alluvium derived from sandstone, shale, or basalt. The
Ildefonso soil formed in very strongly calcareous, basaltic
alluvium and small amounts of eolian material. The aver-
age annual precipitation is about 14 inches, the average
annual air temperature is about 46 degrees F, and the
average frost -free period is about 120 days.
The Potts soil makes up about 60 percent of this unit,
and the Ildefonso soil makes up about 30 percent. The
Potts soil is in slightly concave positions, and the Ilde-
fonso soil is on the breaks of steeper slopes.
The Potts soil is deep and well drained. Typically, the
surface layer is brown loam about 4 inches thick. The
subsoil is reddish brown clay loam about 24 inches thick.
The substratum is pinkish white loam to a depth of 60
inches.
Permeability of the Potts soil is moderate, and availa-
ble water capacity is high. Effective rooting depth is 60
inches or more. Surface runoff is medium, and the ero-
sion hazard is moderate.
The Ildefonso soil is deep and well drained. Typically,
the surface layer is brown stony loam about 8 inches
thick. The underlying material is white, calcareous very
stony loam to a depth of 60 inches.
Permeability of the Ildefonso soil is moderately rapid,
and available water capacity is low. Effective rooting
depth is about 60 inches. Surface runoff is medium, and
the erosion hazard is moderate.
Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of
Morval and Lazear soils. The Morval soils are at the
higher elevations. The Lazear soils are shallow and are
on ridge crests and steep mountainsides. These areas
make up 10 to 18 percent of the map unit.
These soils are used mainly for limited grazing and
wildlife habitat.
The native vegetation on the Potts soil is mainly
wheatgrass, needleandthread, and sagebrush. The
native vegetation on the Ildefonso soil is mainly pinyon
and Utah juniper and an understory of Indian ricegrass,
wheatgrass, junegrass, serviceberry, bitterbrush, and sa-
gebrush.
When the understory vegetation deteriorates, grasses
almost disappear and forbs and shrubs increase. Proper-
ly managing grazing maintains and improves range con-
dition on both soils. Seeding improves range in poor
condition in less sloping areas of the Potts soil. Blue -
bunch wheatgrass, western wheatgrass, and need-
leandthread are suitable for seeding. Preparing the
seedbed and drilling the seed are good practices. Con-
trolling brush on the Potts soil improves range that is
producing more shrubs than are normally found in the
potential plant community. Properly managing the under -
story vegetation on the Ildefonso soil maintains wood
production and grazing. Selectively thinning pinyon and
juniper improves grazing and provides firewood, posts,
and Christmas trees.
The Ildefonso soil is suited to production of pinyon and
Utah juniper. It can produce 9 cords of wood per acre
when trees more than 4.5 feet tall reach an average
diameter (at one foot) of 5 inches. The low available
water capacity affects survival of tree seedlings.

General comments: The Town of Silt Planning Commission reviewed this application at
their November 20, 2001, regular meeting and had the following comments:
The Town of Silt is concerned with the amount of potential pollution that
could be caused by ISDS units along the river. The Town believes that, should these
ISDS units leak, ground water could be contaminated, as well as the water that Silt may
draw out of the river. We would recommend that Garfield County mandate that these
septic systems be placed no closer than 150 feet to the river.
Thank you for the opportunity to review this project.
Sincerely,
Janet G. Steinbach
Town Planner

RE: RIVER OAKS SUBDIVISION
Dear Ms. Schlagel:

For ti1'ildlife-
For People
November 26, 2001
I have had the opportunity to review the materials associated with this project as provided in the referral
packet. In addition, I have visited and evaluated the proposed site.
The proposed site is predominantly pastureland with negligible native vegetation. It is currently in
agricultural use, and provides habitat for various wildlife species, such as mammals and snakes, as well as
many avian species. It is in close proximity to the Colorado River, which also supports several wildlife
species.
The site currently contains elk and deer winter range, and is utilized by Canada geese. In addition, it is in
close proximity to wild turkey habitat. It also contains a section of the Colorado River known to support a
number of native fish species, including mountain whitefish, speckled dace, roundtail chub, mottled
sculpin, flannelmouth sucker and bluehead sucker.
The potential wildlife habitat section (Table 12) of the soil survey included in the referral packet is based
on a general evaluation of different types of soils, and should not be mistaken for a site-specific wildlife
habitat analysis. The Potts-Ildefonso soil complex, which comprises the majority of this site, is classified
as having only fair rangeland wildlife habitat value as a soil type. However, the fact that this site is in
close proximity to the Colorado River at a relatively low altitude with nearby abundant available pinyon -
juniper cover increases its habitat value, particularly for wintering mule deer, which frequent the site.

The following federally threatened and endangered species have suitable habitat within the project area,
but have not necessarily been observed at the site: Bald eagle, Mexican spotted owl, southwestern willow
flycatcher, whooping crane.
In addition, the following state threatened and endangered species have suitable habitat within the project
area, but likewise have not necessarily been observed at the site: Kit fox, northern river otter, western
burrowing owl.
Development of the proposed area will restrict large mammal utilization, and negate any habitat value the
site may have had for the species listed.
An increase in domestic animals is likely to accompany this development_ Domestic pets, especially cats,
can be detrimental to waterfowl species. As the area is near Canada goose brood concentration areas,
domestic pets should be closely monitored, and cats should be excluded from the area in the protective
covenants.
The proposed area is periodically used by black bear. In low forage years, bears have been known to
frequent lowland urban areas with accessible refuse storage facilities. In order to minimize negative
human -bear interactions, refuse storage facilities should be designed to be bear -proof. Please be advised
of a regulation recently passed by the Wildlife Commission which makes it unlawful to fail to clean up bear
attractants such as, but not limited to, refuse, pet food, and barbecue grills.
Of particular concern is the feeding of wild waterfowl. Residents of the proposed subdivision should be
educated regarding the detrimental effects of feeding wild waterfowl. In addition, the development should
post and maintain interpretive signs at any common area frequented by waterfowl educating the public
about brood areas, and requesting that the public not feed wildlife. Signage should also be posted
educating the public about native fish species, particularly those that are threatened or endangered.
In order to further enhance the plan's benefits to wildlife, I would like to submit the following suggestions:
• When creating a landscape plan, tree species that will provide ample habitat for nesting migratory
songbirds should be selected.
• During build -out, noxious weeds should be monitored and managed to prevent establishment and
infestation in planned open space areas.
• Open space areas should be prepared and seeded with native vegetation in order to maximize their
value to wildlife.
The Colorado Division of Wildlife would welcome the opportunity to provide necessary information and
expertise in planning and implementing any of the above suggestions.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this important land use issue in Garfield County. Please feel
free to contact me regarding this or any other wildlife concern.
Sincerely,
Br tt A. Ackerman

Subject: River Oaks Subdivision Sketch Plan
The Town of New Castle Planning & Zoning Commission reviewed the above
sketch plan on November 14, 2001. They have the following comments to
share:
1. The County Commissioners should complete the established agreement
with
the Town of New Castle for joint maintenance of County Road 335 adjacent
to
Town boundaries.
2. The County is reminded that each additional area subdivision, even
though small, adds traffic use to County Road 335, which is already
inadequate in condition and repair.
3. The opportunity to review and comment on this proposal is
appreciated.
