LAZY DIAMOND A SUBDIVISION
A. Water Supply
The domestic inhouse water needs of the subdivision are estimated
as follows:
12 single family units @ 600 gallons/day/unit = 7,200 gpd.
A community water system will be constructed to distribute
domestic water to each lot. The source of supply for this system
is to be the Bershenyi spring transmitted through the Hammerich
Pipe Line. The Bershenyi spring is decreed as follows:
Bershenyi Spring and pipe line
Hammerich pipeline
7/16/47
7/19/47
0.015 cfs
0.15 cfs
The spring was measured on, 24 April 1990,at a flow of 30 gallons
per minute. The .015 cfs to the Bershenyi pipe line equates to
6.7 gallons per minute. The remaining 23.3 gallons per minute to
the Hammerich pipe line would produce 33,552 gallons per day.
The developed and constructed water system will be dedicated to
the homeowners association. An augmentation plan may be required.
Irrigation water will be provided to each lot through the network
of ditches which have irrigated the property in the past. Water
rights will be apportioned to the lots in proportion to the
traditionally irrigated acerage of the lot.
B. Sewage Disposal
Sewage disposal will be provided through individual septic tank -
leach field systems.
C. The U.S.D.A. Soil Conservation Service soils maps and
descriptions of the area are attached.
D. There are no lakes or active streams on the site. The
topography of the site will be modified slightly to accommodate
drainage of roads, driveways and home sites. A site drainage plan
will be submitted with the preliminary plat. It is not
anticipated that the 100 year storm event on Four Mile creek will
leave the creek channel west of the county road. This stream flow
and the onsite 100 year event on the site will be addressed in the
drainage plan.
E. The site is underlain by the Dakota and Mancos formations.
Surface soils contain basalt boulders and cobbles. It is
not anticipated that these materials would produce radiation at
hazard level. There is no knowledge of any material imported to
the site which would produce a radiation hazard.
F. The site configuration and proposed low density are best served
by the two cul-de-sac roads. The northern road is approximately
1350 feet in length, however, it serves only 8 lots.
G. It is anticipated the electricity will be provided by Holy
Cross Electric, natural gas will be provided by Rocky Mountain/KNA
Cable T.V. will be provided by T.C.I. of Glenwood Springs and
Telephone will be provided by Mountain Bell.

The potential plant community on the Brownsto soil is mainly
needleandthread, Indian ricegrass, western wheatgrass, and Wyoming big
sagebrush. Bluebunch wheatgrass, bottlebrush squirreltail, and scattered
Utah juniper and pinyon pine are also present in the potential plant
community. The average annual production of air-dry vegetation is about 600
pounds per acre. [f the range condition deteriorates, Wyoming big
sagebrush, Douglas rabbitbrush, cheatgrass, and annual weeds increase.
Management practices suitable for use on this unit are proper grazing use
and a planned grazing system.
If the range vegetation is seriously deteriorated, seeding is needed.
The suitability of this unit for rangeland seeding is good on the Forelle
soil and poor on the Brownsto soil. The main limitations for seeding are
cobbles and stones on the Brownsto soil. For successful seeding, prepare a
seedbed and drill the seed. On the Forelle soil, brush management improves
deteriorated areas of range that are producing more woody shrubs than were
present in the potential plant community.
This unit is suited for homesite development. The main limitations are
slope in the steeper areas and small stones in the Brownsto soil.
This map unit is in capability subclass IVe, nonirrigated. The Forelle,
soil is in the Rolling Loam Range site and the Brownsto soil is in the Stony

derived dominantly from materials of mixed mineralogy. Typically, the
surface layer is brown loam 14 inches thick. 'lire subsoil is clay loam about
17 inches thick. The substratun is loam to a depth of 60 inches or more.
Permeability of the Evanston soil is moderate. Available water
capacity is high. Effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more. Runoff is
s.Low, and tete hazard of water erosion is slight.
Ibis unit is used mainly for rangeland. It is also used for pasture,
cropland, and wildlife habitat. A few areas are also used for ltanesite
developnent.
The potential plant corr►nunity on this unit is mainly bluebunclr
wheatgrass, western wlreatgrass, n+uttongrass, Douglas rabbitbrush, and
mountain big sagebrush. Utah serviceberry, mountain snowberry, prairie
junegrass, and Foss sedge coninonly are also present in the potential plant
ccnanunity. 'I.he average annual production of air-dry vegetation is about
1 ,500 pounds per acre. If the range condition deteriorates, mountain big
sagebrush, Douglas rabbitbrush, cl+eatgrass, and annual weeds increase.

Management practices suitable for use on this unit are proper grazing
use and a planned grazing system. On the Evanston soil, brush management
improves deteriorated areas of range that are producing more woody shrubs
than were present in the potential plant community. This soil responds well
to fertilizer, to range seeding, and to proper grazing use. If the range
vegetation is seriously deteriorated, seeding is needed.
This unit is well snited to hny and pasture. It has few limitations.
Seedbed preparation should be on the contour or across the slope where
practical. Use of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer promotes good growth
of forage plants. If properly managed, this unit can produce 5 tons of
irrigated grass tray per acre.
This unit is well suited to irrigated crops. If properly managed, this
unit can produce 90 bushels of barley per acre.
This unit is suited to homesite development. If this unit is used for
homesite development, the main limitation is shrink -swell potential. The
effect of shrink -swell can be minimized by pr.ewetting foundation areas.
Population growth has resulted in increased construction homes on this
unit.
This map unit is in capability subclass IVe, irrigated, and IVe,
nonirrigated. It is in the Deep Loam range site.

49 --Conlin fine sandy loam, 3 to 6 percent slopes. This deep, well
drained soil is on toe slopes, fans, and terraces. It formed in colluvium
and alluvium derived dominantly from redbed sandstone and shale. Elevation
is 6,200 and 7,500 feet. The average annual precipitation is 12 to 14
inches, the average annuat air temperature is 42 to 46 degrees F, and the
average frost -free period is 85 to 105 days.
Typically, the surface layer is reddish brown fine sandy loam 5 inches
thick. The underlying material to a depth of 60 inches is fine sandy loam.
The soil is calcareous throughout the profile.
Included in this unit are small areas of Almy soils and Goslin soils
that have steeper slopes. Also included are small areas of soils that are
similar to this Gorlin soil but have a stony surface layer. Included areas
make up about 15 percent of the total acreage.
Permeability of this Goslin soil is moderately rapid. Available water
capacity is moderate. Effective rooting depth is 60 inches or more. Runoff
is slow, and the hazard of water erosion is slight to moderate. During
brief and intense storms, runoff from adjacent uplands may cause gully
erosion.
This unit is used mainly for livestock grazing, hay, and pasture. It
is also used for irrigated hay and pasture.
1/9
The potential plant community on this unit is mainly western
wheatgrass, Indian ricegrass, bottlebrush squirreltail, winterfat, and big
sagebrush. Bluebunch wheatgrass, needleandthread, and Douglas rabbitbrush
are also present in the potential plant community. The average annual
production of air-dry vegetation is about 800 pounds per acre. If the range
condition deteriorates, big sagebrush, rubber rabbitbrush, and cheatgrass
increase. Management practices suitable for use on this unit are proper
grazing use and a planned grazing system.
If the range vegetation is seriously deteriorated, seeding is needed.
For successful seeding, prepare a seedbed and drill the seed. Brush
management improves .deteriorated areas of range that are producting more
woody shrubs than were present in the potential plant community.
If this unit is used for irrigated hay or pasture crops, the main
limitation is the hazard of erosion. Furrow, border, corrugation, and
sprinkler irrigation systems are suited to this unit. Crop residue left on
or near the surface helps to conserve moisture, maintain tilth, and control
erosion. Proper grazing practices, weed control, and fertilizer are needed
to insure maximum quality of forage. If properly managed, this unit can
produce 3.5 tons of irrigated grass hay per acre.
This map unit is well suited to homesite development. Areas in this
unit adjacent to hillsides are occasionally effected by runoff, which may
also be accompanied by movement of rock debris. Structures to divert runoff
are needed if buildings and roads are constructed.
This map unit is in capability subclass IVe, irrigated, and IVe,
nonirrigated. It is in the Rolling Loam range site.

The unit is moderately suited to hay and cropland. The main
limitations are stones on the surface, steep slopes, and slow permeability.
Grasses and legumes grow well if adequate fertilizer is used. Limiting
tillage for seedbed preparation and weed control reduces runoff erosion.
If properly managed, this unit can produce 3 tons of irrigated grass hay or
60 bushels of barley per acre.
The potential plant community on the Showalter soil is mainly bluebunch
wheatgrass, western wheatgrass, prairie junegrass, Indian ricegrass, true
mounl:ainmahogany, antelope bitterbrush, Saskatoon serviceberry, and big
sagebrush. The average annual production of air-dry vegetation is about 900
pounds per acre.
The potential plant community on the Morval soil is mainly
needl.eandthread, western wheatgrass, muttongrass, prairie junegrass, and big
sagebrush. The average annual production of air-dry vegetation is about
1,500 pounds per acre.

If this unit is used for rangeland seeding or mechanical treatment, the
main limitaiton is stones on the surface of the Showalter component. Range
seeding generally is limited to broadcasting because of the stones on the
surface.
This unit is poorly suited to homesite development. The main
limitations are shrink -swell and stones throughout the profile.
This map unit is in capability subclass Vie, irrigated, and VIe,
nonirrigated. The Showalter soil is in Loamy Slopes range site and the
Morval soil is in Deep Loam range site.
