Organic matter content is high. Surface runoff is 'ow, and the erosion hazard is slight. This soil is occa- !onally flooded for brief periods between April and Sep- :mber. This soil is used mainly for grazing, wildlife habitat, and nited irrigated hay. Good management of water and ?rtilizer maintains or improves the production of native ay. The native vegetation on this soil is mainly wildrye, 'heatgrass, needlegrass, and small amounts of forbs nd shrubs. When range condition deteriorates, dandelion, yarrow, ibbitbrush, big sagebrush, and Kentucky bluegrass in - ease. Properly managing grazing maintains and im- -oves range condition. Basin wildrye, slender wheat - .ass, and western wheatgrass are suitable for seeding. reparing a seedbed and drilling the seed are good ractices. Fencing protects this more productive soil. his soil is lower than surrounding soils and usually con - tins the water supply for livestock. Reducing brush im- -oves the range. Mule deer, snowshoe hare, elk, coyote, and blue -ouse find habitat on this soil. Community development is limited by flooding. This DU is a good source of topsoil. This soil is in capability subclass Vle, nonirrigated. X" /Jo r�w;��ir✓rte SIT o( 64—Tanna silty clay loam, 25 to 45 percent slopes. its moderately deep, well drained soil is on mountain - des. Elevation ranges from 6,500 to 7,600 feet. This )il formed in material weathered from shale. The aver- je annual precipitation is about 17 inches, the average lnual air temperature is about 43 degrees F, and the ierage frost -free period is about 100 days. Typically, the surface layer is grayish brown silty clay am about 9 inches thick. The subsoil is light brownish ay clay and light gray silty clay about 15 inches thick. le substratum is light gray channery clay loam about 6 ches thick. Weathered shale is at a depth of 30 inches. Included with this soil in mapping are small areas of Dilard clay and shale outcrop on steep and very steep ountainsides. These areas make up 10 to 15 percent the map unit. Permeability is slow, and available water capacity is w. Effective rooting depth is 20 to 40 inches. Surface noff is rapid, and the erosion hazard is severe. This soil is used mainly for wildlife habitat and limited azing. The native vegetation on this soil is mainly Gambel tk, serviceberry, snowberry, and elk sedge. When range condition deteriorates, forbs and shrubs .3rease. When the range is in poor condition, Kentucky Jegrass, weeds, and annual plants are numerous. operly managing grazing maintains and improves nge condition. Mule deer, wild turkey, and cottontail rabbit find habitat 1 this soil. SOIL SURVEY Use of this soil for community development, for sani- tary facilities, and as a source of construction material is limited by steep slopes, high clay content, low strength, depth to bedrock and shrink -swell potential. Road con- struction and building foundations can be designed to reduce the effects of shrinking and swelling. A good drainage system reduces soil slumping. This soil is in capability subclass Vile, nonirrigated. 65—Torrifluvents, nearly level. This broadly defined unit consists of deep, well drained to somewhat poorly drained, nearly level soils on flood plains adjacent to the Colorado and Roaring Fork Rivers and their major tribu- taries. Slope is 0 to 6 percent. The soils formed in alluvium. These soils are stratified and vary widely in texture and depth. The surface layer ranges from loamy sand and fine sandy loam to silty loam and clay loam. The underlying layers are generally sandy loam or loam strati- fied with sand, gravel, and cobbles. In some areas gravel and cobbles are on or near the surface. The water table fluctuates between depths of 2 and 4 feet and in some years is near the surface during spring runoff from snowmelt. These soils are subject to brief, occasional flooding late in spring and early in summer. Included in mapping are small isolated areas of Wann soils that have slopes of 1 to 3 percent. Small areas of soils that are moderately to severely affected by alkali are identified by an alkali spot symbol. Small, isolated areas where water stands at or near the surface all year are identified by wet spot and marsh spot symbols. These areas make up 15 percent of the map unit. These soils are used for wildlife habitat, recreation, and some grazing. The native vegetation is mainly cottonwood, willow, tamarisk and water -tolerant grasses, sedges, and rushes. In many areas these soils are suited to production of Fremont cottonwood. The soils are capable of producing 230 board feet of timber per acre from a fully stocked, even -aged stand of 40 -year-old trees. Where these soils are accessible, they provide shelter and forage for livestock. Mule deer, cottontail rabbit, coyote, bobcat, ducks, geese, and other native birds find food and shelter on these soils. Where feasible, planting food plots, trees and shrubs, and nesting cover enhances the habitat for upland wildlife. Where the water table is high, open water for waterfowl and fish can be developed by blast- ing or by excavating. These soils have potential for recreation. Wildlife is abundant, and the nearby rivers can be used for rafting and canoeing. Community development is very limited by flooding, the seasonal high water table, and variable texture. Onsite investigation is necessary. These soils are in capability subclass Vllw, nonirrigat- ed. RIFLE AREA, COLORADO 66—Torriorthents-Camborthids-Rock outcrop com- plex, steep. This broadly defined unit consists of ex- posed sandstone and shale bedrock, loose stones, and soils that are shallow to deep over sandstone and shale bedrock and stony basaltic alluvium. This complex occurs throughout the survey area. The soils and out- crops are moderately steep to very steep. Slope ranges from 15 to 70 percent. Torriorthents make up about 45 percent of the corn- plex, Camborthids make up 20 percent, and Rock out- crop makes up 15 percent. The Torriorthents are on foothills and mountainsides below Rock outcrop. The moderately steep Camborthids are on lower toe slopes and concave open areas on foothills and mountainsides. Torriorthents are shallow to moderately deep. They are generally clayey to loamy and contain variable amounts of gravel, cobbles, and stones. The surface is normally covered with stones weathered from the higher - lying Rock outcrop. South of the Colorado River, basaltic stones and cobbles are on the surface. Camborthids are shallow to deep. They are generally clayey to loamy and have slightly more clay in the sub- soil than in the surface layer. The surface layer is light colored. The profile is normally free of stones, but scat- tered basalt stones, cobbles, and sandstone fragments are on the surface. The Rock outcrop is mainly Mesa Verde sandstone and Wasatch shale. Some areas are covered with basal- tic boulders and stones. Small areas of limestone out- crops and exposed gypsum are in the eastern part of the survey area. Included in mapping are small, isolated areas of Ilde- fonso, Lazear, Ansari, Begay, Heldt, and Dollard soils. These intermittent areas make up 10 to 20 percent of this map unit. This complex is used for grazing, wildlife habitat, and recreation. The stones on the surface and the steep slopes make this complex unsuitable for crops. Some areas can be reseeded to pasture by broadcast seeding. Other plant- ing methods are made difficult by the stones and slopes. The native vegetation includes wheatgrasses, blue - grasses, Indian ricegrass, needlegrasses, bitterbrush, mountainmahogany, sagebrush, and an overstory of pinyon and juniper. The value of grazing is fair. The vegetation should be managed to maintain wood production and limited graz- ing. Selectively thinning the pinyon and juniper improves grazing and provides firewood and posts. Steep slopes, moderate to severe erosion hazard, and slow regrowth of trees affect harvesting and management. Most of this complex is a prime wintering area for deer. Rabbits, coyote, and a few elk also find food and cover on this complex. Building is limited by steep slopes and stoniness. These limitations can be overcome by appropriate design and construction. 37 This complex is in capability subclass Vile, nonirrigat- ed. 33P2vP N O 6 u 4/6-- s— D e 2 O /4'r 7—Torriorthents-Rock outcrop complex, steep. This broadly defined unit consists of exposed sandstone and shale bedrock and stony soils that are shallow to moderately deep over sandstone and shale and stony basaltic alluvium. Areas of this complex occur throughout the survey area. The soils and outcrops are moderately steep to very steep. Slope ranges from 15 to 70 percent. Torriorthents make up about 60 percent of this com- plex, and Rock outcrop makes up 25 percent. The Tor- riorthents are on foothills and mountainsides below the Rock outcrop. Torriorthents are generally clayey to loamy and con- tain variable amounts of gravel, cobbles, and stones. The surface is normally covered with stones weathered from the higher -lying Rock outcrop. South of the Colora- do River, stones and cobbles of basalt are on the sur- face. The Rock outcrop is mainly Mesa Verde sandstone and Wasatch shale. Some areas are covered with basal- tic boulders and stones. Small areas of limestone out- crops and exposed gypsum are in the eastern part of the survey area. Included in mapping are small isolated areas of Ilde- fonso, Lazear, Ansari, Gaynor, Tridell, and Nihill soils. These intermittent areas make up 10 to 15 percent of this map unit. This complex is used for limited grazing, wildlife habi- tat, and recreation. Because of the stones on the surface, the Rock out- crop, and the steep slope, this complex is unsuited to crops. The native vegetation includes wheatgrass, bluegrass, Indian ricegrass, needlegrass, bitterbrush, sagebrush, mountainmahogany and an overstory of pinyon and juni- per. The vegetation should be managed to maintain wood production and limited grazing. Selectively thinning the pinyon and juniper improves grazing and provides fire- wood and posts. Steep slopes, moderate to severe ero- sion hazard, and slow regrowth of trees affect harvesting and management. Most of this complex is a prime wintering area for deer. Rabbits, coyote, and a few elk also find food and cover on this complex. Community development is limited by the Rock out- crop, steep slopes, and stoniness. These limitations can be overcome by appropriate design and construction. This complex is in capability subclass Vile, nonirrigat- ed. 68—Vale silt loam, 3 to 6 percent slopes. This deep, well drained, gently sloping soil is on mesas, terraces, and alluvial fans. Elevation ranges from 5,000 to 7,200 feet. This soil formed in calcareous eolian material. The RIFLE AREA, COLORADO The native vegetation on these soils is mainly Gambel oak, elk sedge, and bromes. When range condition deteriorates, forbs and shrubs increase. When the range is in poor condition, Kentucky bluegrass, undesirable weeds, and annual plants are nu- merous. Properly managing grazing maintains and im- proves range condition. Seeding improves some less sloping areas of range in poor condition. Preparing a seedbed and drilling the seed are good practices. Moun- tain or smooth brome, orchardgrass, and intermediate wheatgrass are suitable for seeding. Elk, deer, black bear, and grouse find habitat on these soils. Community development is limited by the high clay content, low strength, and steep slopes. Building founda- tions, roads, and sanitary facilities can be designed to overcome these limitations. Drainage and structures to control runoff from snowmelt are needed to avoid deep saturation of the soil around construction sites and roads.

The average annual precipitation is about 18 19—Cochetopa-Jerry complex, 25 to 5 p r ent inches, the average annual air temperature is about 39 slopes. These moderately steep soils are on mountain- degrees F, and the average frost -free period is less than ranges to 75 days. These soils range from sandy loam to clay throughout and are commonly stratified. The surface layer is black to very dark brown. In places an organic mat is on the surface. Sand and gravel is at a depth of 2 to 4 feet in some places. Permeability is moderate. Surface runoff is slow, and the erosion hazard is slight. The water table is at a depth of 10 to 24 inches at some time during the growing season. These soils are subject to annual flooding. Included in mapping are small areas of peat and marsh. These soils are used mainly for wildlife habitat. Some areas are used for irrigated hay and pasture. The cold climate and short growing season limit pro- duction of introduced grasses. Irrigation water should be managed to prevent ponding. Subsurface drainage and fertilizer are needed to maintain production of hay. Slen- der wheatgrass, smooth brome, and creeping meadow foxtail are suitable for seeding. The native vegetation includes tufted hairgrass, slen- der wheatgrass, sedges, rushes, reedgrass, willows, shrubby cinquefoil, and numerous forbs. The total annual production of air-dry forage averages 2,500 pounds per acre. Nitrogen and phosphorus fertiliz- er is needed late in spring to replace nutrients lost during spring snowmelt. These soils are typically wet and produce abundant wetland vegetation. Mallard, teal, shorebirds, beaver, mink, and muskrat find habitat on these soils. Shallow water developments increase the use of the areas by wetland wildlife. To manage these soils for wetland wild- life, grazing by livestock should be controlled and fences sides.Elevationfrom7,0009,500 feet.
