Re: Doug Coffman Subdivision
File #: 113282
Dear Fred:
PARALEGAL
ELISABETH GETZEN
egetzen@dankerstpc.com
Via Hand Delivery
Our firm represents Rex Coffman and JoAnn Coffinan who own Lot 4 of the Coffman Ranch
Subdivision Exemption which contains approximately 149.763 acres of real property primarily located
in Section 36, Township 7 South, Range 88 West of the Sixth Principal Meridian as more particularly
described on the attached Exhibit "A" (the "Property"). Mr. and Mrs. Coffman wish to subdivide the
Property for estate planning purposes to gift Parcel A 1 to their son, Doug Coffman.
As you may recall, the Coffmans were granted a subdivision exemption in 2004 whereby thr<:!e
(3) lots and a remainder parcel were created. Since the Coffmans have exercised their exemption
rights, they are proceeding with this subdivision application on Lot 4 (the remainder parcel) to create
one (1) 9.127 acre lot for their son thereby reducing Lot 4 to 140.636 acres. Several exhibits are being
re-utilized from the exemption application for this subdivision application.
Additionally, there is a conservation easement encumbering a portion of the Property recorded
as Reception No. 643445 in the Garfield County Clerk and Recorder's Office. The Conservation
Easement allows the applicant to separate one (1) lot not to exceed four and one-half (4 Yz ) acres in
size and to erect one (1) single-family homesite. Aspen Valley Land Trust ("A VL T") has approved
of amending the conservation easement to expand the permitted size of the ~Uowable lot (see attached
letter from Suzanne Stephens at Exhibit "G"). Exhibit "B" is the attachment from the conservation
easement displaying the general location of the easement on a portion ofthe Property. *Please note
that building envelope and access roads are inaccurate since the easement was created prior to the
Coffman Ranch Subdivision Exemption.
In compliance with Garfield County's submittal requirements, the applicants provide the
following information for your review:
I. Exhibit "A" is the Sketch Plan for the Doug Coffinan Subdivision prepared by
Scarrow and Walker, Inc. showing the legal description of the Property and proposed
lots. Access is gained from County Road 100.
October 2, 200S
Page 2-Fred Jarman, Doug Coffman Subdivision
2. Water for the proposed lot will be provided via a well. A well permit application has
been filed with the Colorado Division of Water Resources (see Exhibit "C").
3. Sewage disposal is proposed to be handled by an on-site wastewater treatment system,
as no central sewage system is available at this time. The applicant is researching a
Wisconsin Mound System or similarly engineered septic system appropriate for high
water table areas.
4. The proposed subdivision creates one (1) lot for one (1) single-family dwelling. The
applicant intends to build the residence with minimal disturbance to the topography
and surrounding waterways ofthe site.
5. The Doug Coffman Subdivision is located in an area where there is no known
radiation hazard.
6. Exhibit "D" contains excerpts from the USDA Soil Conservation Service for the
Aspen-Gypsum Area showing the Property with the soil types identified and
interpretation tables attached.
7. The Property is adjacent to County Road 1 00 right-of-way. The Applicant is
proposing a drive to access Parcel AI. Exhibit "E" contains Driveway Permit Number
GRBOS-D-SO approved by the Garfield County Road and Bridge Department.
S. The anticipated electric service will be provided by Holy Cross Electric. Exhibit "A"
details the electric easement that currently serves Lots 1-3 of the Coffman Ranch
Subdivision Exemption and runs over the proposed Parcel AI. SourceGas anticipates
that it will provide natural gas (see Exhibit "F" -a letter from SourceGas dated April
11, 200S). The applicant has contacted Qwest for telephone services and DirectTV
for cable T.V.
9. A check in the amount of $325.00 for the base fee.
Please contact me if you have any questions in regards to the application or need any
additional information.

I. THE SUBDIVISION PROCESS
In order to subdivide land in Garfield County, an Applicant is required to complete the following land use
processes in the following order: 1) Sketch Plan Review Process, 2) Preliminary Plan Review Process, and 3)
Final Plat Review Process. This section will briefly describe the nature of each process and provide general
direction including subdivision regulation citations to a potential applicant requesting subdivision approval in
Garfield County. All of the Garfield County Zoning and Subdivision Regulations are located for purchase at
the Planning Department and can also be found on the World Wide Web at the following address:
http://www.garfield-county.com/buildingandplanninglindex.htm
A) The Sketch Plan Review (Section 3:00 of the Subdivision Regulations)
1. Purpose
The purpose of the Sketch Plan process is to allow an individual an opportunity to
propose a subdivision in a "sketch" format to the Planning Department and the Garfield
County Planning Commission in order to obtain a cursory review for compliance with the
County's land use review documents, regulations, and policies to identify any issues that
would need to be addressed if the proposed subdivision were to be pursued.
2. Applicability
Any individual proposing a subdivision in Garfield County is required to complete the
Sketch Plan review process as the first step in Garfield County's Subdivision process.
More specifically, Garfield County defines a subdivision (Section 2:20.48) as the division
of a lot, tract or parcel of land into two (2) or more lots, tracts, parcels or separate
interests, or the use of any parcel of land for condominiums, apartments or other
multiple-dwelling units, as further defined by Colorado state law.
3. Application I Submittal Requirements
In order to apply for a Sketch Plan Review an Applicant is responsible for reviewing
Section 3:00 of the Subdivision Regulations and providing enough information to the
Planning Department in the application to conduct a thorough review and provide the
resulting comments to the Planning Commission for their review and comments.
Specifically, Section 3:30, 3:32, and 3:40 of the Subdivision Regulations contain the
specific information required to be submitted to the Planning Department in order to
satisfy the application requirements in addition to the information requested on this
application form.
4. Process I Public Meeting
The Sketch Plan review process is considered a 1-step process because the application
is reviewed only by the Planning Commission at a public meeting. In order to appear
before the Planning Commission, an applicant will have submitted all required
application submittal requirements mentioned above to the Planning Department Staff.
Once submitted, Staff will have 15 working days to review the application to determine if
all the required submittal information has been submitted as required.
If Staff determines that all the required information has been submitted, a letter will be
sent to the applicant indicating the application has been deemed "technically complete."
3
It is at this point Staff will also indicate when the application has been scheduled to be
reviewed before the Planning Commission and will request the applicant supply
additional copies to provide the Commission for their review.
If Staff determines that all the required information has not been submitted, a letter will
be sent to the applicant indicating the application does not comply with the submittal
requirements and therefore has determined the application to be "technically
incomplete." The letter will also outline the applications deficiencies so that the applicant
knows what additional information needs to be submitted. At this point, the applicant
has 6 months (180 days) to provide the necessary information to the Planning
Department to remedy the application so that it may be deemed technically complete. If
the application has not been deemed technically complete within this time, the
application will be terminated.
Once the application has been deemed technically complete and a date has been
established as to when the Planning Commission will review the application, Staff will
conduct a land use review of the application using the County's land use regulatory
documents including the Zoning Resolution, Subdivision Regulations, and the
Comprehensive Plan of 2000. In addition, Staff will also consider referral comments
provided from a variety of state and local agencies who may also review the application.
As a result, Staff will write a Memorandum on the proposed subdivision to the Planning
Commission containing the results on the land use analysis. This Memorandum will also
be furnished in advance to the applicant.
At the date and time set for the public meeting before the Planning Commission, Staff
will present the findings in the Memorandum and the applicant will be required to present
the proposed subdivision and respond to comments and questions provided by the
or,; Planning Commission. The comments provided to the Applicant by the Planning
Department and the Planning Commission as a result of the Sketch Plan Process will be
kept on file in the Planning Department for 1-year from the meeting date before the
Planning Commission. If an Applicant does not submit a Preliminary Plan application to
the Planning Department within the 1-year timeframe, the Sketch Plan file will be closed
and the Applicant will need to reapply for a Sketch Plan review prior to a Preliminary
Plan review.
B) Preliminarv Plan Review (Section 4:00 of the Subdivision Regulations)
1. Purpose
The purpose of the Preliminary Plan review process is to conduct a thorough review of
the many aspects that are associated with dividing land in Garfield County for the
purposes of residential, commercial, and industrial development. This is the most
intensive review step where the Building and Planning Staff, the Planning Commission,
and the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) will conduct a thorough review of all
the issues associated with the proposed subdivision against the County's regulatory
requirements. Ultimately, the purpose of this process is to identify all the major issues in
the proposed subdivision by using the County's Zoning Resolution, Subdivision
Regulations, Comprehensive Plan of 2000, as well as other state and local referral
4
agencies that will provide comments on any issues raised in their review. This is the
process that will either approve or deny the application request.
2. Applicability
Any individual proposing a subdivision in Garfield County is required to complete the
Preliminary Plan review process as the second and most intensive step in Garfield
County's Subdivision process. More specifically, Garfield County defines a subdivision
as the division of a lot, tract or parcel of land into two (2) or more lots, tracts, parcels or
separate interests, or the use of any parcel of land for condominiums, apartments or
other multiple-dwelling units, as further defined by Colorado state law.
3. Application I Submittal Requirements
In order to apply for a Preliminary Plan Review, an Applicant must have already
completed the Sketch Plan review process addressed in Section 3:00 of the Subdivision
Regulations.
An applicant requesting Preliminary Plan review will be required to submit this
application form, all the required submittal information contained in Sections 4:40 to 4:94
of the Subdivision Regulations as well as address all of the applicable Desiqn and
Improvement Standards in Section 9:00 of the Subdivision Regulations.
In addition to the substantive submittal information related to the proposed subdivision
project itself, an applicant is required to complete all the public notice requirements so
that legal public hearings can be held before the Planning Commission and the SOCC
which is addressed in Sections 4:20 -4:31 of the Subdivision Regulations.
4. Process I Public Hearings
The Preliminary Plan review process is considered a 2-step process because the
application is ultimately reviewed by two County decision-making entities during public
hearings: the Planning Commission who makes a recommendation to the SOCC.
In order to obtain dates for the public hearings before the Planning Commission and the
SOCC, an applicant will have submitted all required application submittal requirements
mentioned above to the Planning Department Staff. Once submitted, Staff will have 30
working days to review the application to determine if all the required submittal
information has been submitted as required.
If Staff determines that all the required information has been submitted, a letter will be
sent to the applicant indicating the application has been deemed "technically complete."
It is at this point Staff will also indicate when the application has been scheduled to be
reviewed before the Planning Commission I SOCC. Additionally, Staff will provide the
applicant with the notice forms to be mailed, published, and posted.
If Staff determines that all the required information has not been submitted, a letter will
be sent to the applicant indicating the application does not comply with the submittal
5
requirements and therefore has determined the application to be "technically
incomplete." The letter will also outline the applications deficiencies so that the applicant
knows what additional information needs to be submitted. At this point, the applicant
has 6 months (180 days) to provide the necessary information to the Planning
Department to remedy the application so that it may be deemed technically complete. If
the application has not been deemed technically complete within this time, the
application will be terminated.
Once the application has been deemed technically complete and a date has been
established as to when the Planning Commission I BOCC will review the application,
Staff will conduct a land use review of the application using the County's land use
regulatory documents including the Zoning Resolution, Subdivision Regulations, and the
Comprehensive Plan of 2000. In addition, Staff will also consider referral comments
provided from a variety of state and local agencies who may also review the application.
As a result, Staff will write a Memorandum on the proposed subdivision to the Planning
Commission I BOCC containing the results on the land use analysis. This Memorandum
will also be furnished in advance to the applicant prior to the public hearings.
As mentioned above, Staff makes a recommendation to the Planning Commission and
the BOCC regarding the issues raised in the analysis of the proposed subdivision. The
Applicant will first propose the subdivision to the Planning Commission who is
responsible for making a recommendation of approval, approval with conditions, or
denial to the BOCC. Next, the application will be reviewed by the BOCC during a
regular public hearing. The BOCC will consider the recommendations from the Planning
Staff and the Planning Commission, the information presented by the applicant, and the
public. As a result, the BOCC is the final decision-making entity regarding the proposed
subdivision and will either approve, approve with conditions, or deny the application.
If the BOCC approves the subdivision application at the public hearing, the approval
shall be valid for a period not to exceed one (1) year from the date of Board approval, or
conditional approval, unless an extension of not more than one (1) year is granted by the
Soard prior to the expiration of the period of approval. (See the specific information
provided in Section 4:34 of the Subdivision Regulations.) Following the hearing, Staff
will provide a resolution signed by the SOCC which memorializes the action taken by the
Soard with any I all conditions which will be recorded in the Clerk and Recorder's Office.
Once an applicant has Preliminary Plan approval, they are required to complete the third
and final step in the County's Subdivision Process: Final Plat Review.
C) Final Plat Review (Section 5:00 of the Subdivision Regulations)
1. Purpose
The purpose of the Final Plat review process is to provide the applicant with a
mechanism to prove to the County that all the conditions of approval required during the
Preliminary Plan review process have been met I addressed to the satisfaction of the
Planning Staff and the SOCC. This being the case, the chairman of the soce will sign
the Final Plat and have it recorded memorializing the subdivision approval granted by
the SOCC. This is the last step in the County's subdivision process.
6
2. Applicability
Any individual proposing a subdivision in Garfield County is required to complete the
Final Plat review process as the third and last step in Garfield County's Subdivision
process. More specifically, Garfield County defines a subdivision as the division of a lot,
tract or parcel of land into two (2) or more lots, tracts, parcels or separate interests, or
the use of any parcel of land for condominiums, apartments or other multiple-dwelling
units, as further defined by Colorado state law.
3. Application I Submittal Requirements
In order to apply for a Final Plat review, an Applicant must have already completed the
Preliminary Plan review process addressed in Section 4:00 of the Subdivision
Regulations.
An applicant requesting Final Plat review will be required to submit this application form,
all the required submittal information contained in Section 5:00 of the Subdivision
Regulations and responses to all the conditions of approval required as part of the
Preliminary Plan review process.
4. Process
The Final Plat review process is considered a 1-step process because the application is
ultimately reviewed by the Building and Planning Staff and presented to the BOCC for
their signature if the application satisfies all the required submittal information to the
satisfaction of the Building and Planning Department.
If Staff determines that all the required information has been submitted, a letter will be
sent to the applicant indicating the application has been deemed "technically complete."
It is at this point Staff will also indicate when the application has been scheduled to be
presented to the BOCC for signature. (This is not a public hearing or meeting and
therefore does not require public notice.)
If Staff determines that all the required information has not been submitted, a letter will
be sent to the applicant indicating the application does not comply with the submittal
requirements and therefore has determined the application to be "technically
incomplete." The letter will also outline the applications deficiencies so that the applicant
knows what additional information needs to be submitted.
Once the application has been deemed technically complete and a date has been
established as to when the BOCC will review the Final Plat, Staff will review the
application I Final Plat in terms of adequacy to determine if all the submittal information
satisfies the Final plat requirements as well as the responses to the conditions of
approval. During this review, Staff will forward the Final Plat the County Surveyor for
review and a signature. In the event there are additional questions or clarification issues
to be addressed, the County Surveyor will generally contact the applicant to have the
plat adjusted as necessary. Once, Staff has completed the review and all required
information has been submitted to the satisfaction of the Planning Department and the
County Surveyor has signed the Final Plat in Mylar form, it will be scheduled at the next
7
BOCC meeting to be placed on the consent agenda with a request to authorize the
Chairman of the BOCC to sign the plat. .
Once the Final Plat is signed, it is then recorded by the County Clerk in the Clerk and
Recorder's Office for a fee of $11 for the first sheet and $10 for each additional sheet
thereafter. This fee shall be paid by the applicant. This act of recording the signed Final
Plat represents the completion of the Garfield County Subdivision Process.
Please refer to the specific language in the Final Plat portion (Section 5:00) of the
Subdivision Regulations for specific timelines and additional responsibilities required of
the applicant to complete the Final Plat process.
Please Note: This information presented above is to be used as a
general guide for an applicant considering a subdivision in Garfield
County. It is highly recommended that an applicant either purchase
the Garfield County Zoning Resolution and Subdivision Regulations
or access them on-line at:
http://www.garfield-county.com/buildingandplanning/index.htm
in order to ascertain all the necessary requirements for each of the
three steps including Sketch Plan Review, Preliminary Plan Review,
and Final Plat Review.
I have read the statements above and have provided the required attached information

GARFIELD COUNTY BUILDING AND PLANNING DEPARTMENT
FEE SCHEDULE
Garfield County, pursuant to Board of County Commissioners ("Board") Resolution No. 98-09, has established
a fee structure ("Base Fee") for the processing of each type of subdivision and land use applications.
The Base Fee is an estimate of the average number of hours of staff time devoted to an application, multiplied
by an hourly rate for the personnel involved. The Board recognized that the subdivision and land use
application processing time will vary and that an applicant should pay for the total cost of the review which
may require additional billing. Hourly rates based on the hourly salary, and fringe benefits costs of the
respective positions combined with an hourly overhead cost for the office will be used to establish the actual
cost of County staff time devoted to the review ofa particular project.
Actual staff time spent will be charged against the Base Fee. After the Base Fee has been expended, the
applicant will be billed based on actual staff hours accrued. Any billing shall be paid in full prior to final
consideration of any land use permit, zoning amendment or subdivision plan. If an applicant has previously
failed to pay application fees as required, no new or additional applications will be accepted for processing until
the outstanding fees are paid.
Checks, including the appropriate Base Fee set forth below, must be submitted with each land use application,
and made payable to the Garfield County Treasurer. Applications will not be accepted without the required
application fee. Base Fees are non-refundable in full, unless a written request for withdraw from the applicant
is submitted prior the initial review of the application materials.
Applications must include an Agreement for Payment Form ("Agreement") set forth below. The Agreement
establishes the applicant as being responsible for payment of all costs associated with processing the
application. The Agreement must be signed by the party responsible for payment and submitted with the
application in order for it to be accepted.
The complete fee schedule for subdivision and land use applications is attached.

Geological studies are required by Colorado counties for all subdivisions of unincorpo-
rated land into parcels of less than 35 acres, under State statute c.R.S. 30-28-101 et seq.
(Senate Bill 35, 1972). Some Colorado municipalities require geological studies for sub-
division of incorporat~d land. In addition, local governments are empowered to regu-
late development activities in hazardous or mineral-resource areas under c.R.S. 24-65.1-
101 et seq. (House Bill 1041, 1974) and c.R.S. 34-1-301 et seq. (House Bill 1529, 1973),
respectively.
Local-government agencies submit proposed subdivision applications and supporting
technical reports to the Colorado Geological Survey" .. .for evaluation of those geologic
factors which would have significant impact on the proposed use of the land," in accor-
dance with State statutes. The CGS reviews the submitted documents and serves as a
technical advisor to local-government planning agencies during the planning process.
Since 1984, the CGS has been required by law to recover the full direct cost of perform-
ing such reviews.
The adequate knowledge of a site's geology is essential for any development project. It
is needed at the start of the project in order to plan, design, and construct a safe devel-
opment. Proper planning for geological conditions can help developers and future
owners/ users reduce unnecessary maintenance and/or repair costs.

Frequently Asked Questions and Answers
Regarding the eGS Land Use Review Process
Why am I required to have a CGS review when I already hired
and paid for my own consultant?
In 1972, Senate Bill 35 was passed stating that any person or
entity subdividing a property into parcels of 35 acres or Jess on
unincorporated land must submit geologic or geotechnic.11
reports to the County as part of the preliminary plat application
process. Municipalities or public agencies may request that eGS
review a site, although these reviews are not governed by the
statute.
Why is a CGS review necessanJ when I already l!ired Iny own
geologist?
The eGS review is an independent third-party review that is done
for the County, similar to the service a building inspector provides
for construction review. The purpose of the CGS review is to
ensure that all geologic concerns have been adequa~ely identified
and addressed in the geologic reports and that the proposed
development is feasible.
Why does CGS c1large for land lise reviews? Docsn't taxpayer
money pay for this service?
eGS land use reviews are!lQ! subsidized through the general
fundi although some other review agencies are supported by
taxpayer money. In 1984 the state legislature decided that CGS
reviews should be paid for with fees paid by the applicant 01 the
proposed development so that taxpayers are not viewed as
subsidizing development.
Did the CGS geologist make afield visit to the site?
A eGS geologist visits each site being reviewed. If the review is a
re...submittal for a site that has been visited previously, a second
sIte visit may not be necessary. If significant changes have
occurred since the initial review, the site may be visited again.
Why is the CGS review letter so short atld simple? What is my fee
paying/or?
The CGS letter is a review of the geologic material submitted and
reflects the level of detaJi contained in those docwnents. eGS does
not offer designs, but rather ensures that the work that has been
done is meaningful and adequate for the site conditions and
proposed development. A site review that adequately addresses all
the geologic conditions present at the site may be a short
confinuation letter. If more work needs to be done or if difficult
site conditions are present, the letter l"!lay be longer.
WJmt trjpe of infortnatlotl do 1 need to submit to CGS for a lemd
lise review?
The more geolo~c information that is submitted to CGS, the
easier it is for eGS to evaluate the property. The required
documents may vary based on county requirements and the
potential problems that may impact the proposed development.
A topographic map is essential. Also, infonnation regarding
slope, surficial materials, subsurface materials and bedrock,
presence of groundwater and depth, and specific geologic
hazards should be induded, where applicable. Grading plans l
drainage plan~, and geotechnical testing results are also very
helpful for the review. The presence of geologic hazards should
be evaluated with respect to the development plan. Also, the
effect of development on geologic conditions should be
discussed. The evaluation should include alternatives such as
avoidance and mitigation techniques.

The subdivision dow1t the road was approved, why wasn't mine?
There could be several reasons: geolOgiC conditions can change
over short distances; subdivisions made prior to 1972 were not
required to undergo a CGS review and may have not been
evaluated for geolOgiC suitability at all; the area down the road
may be incorporated as part of a municipality, wroch exempts it
from the eGS review process. Another consideration is that
geologic reviews are continually evolving and site conditions that
have been judged acceptable in the past may no longer be
considered as such, based on the current understanding of the
geologic processes and adverse impacts associated with them.
Why are CGS reviews required even on low~density properties?
Senate Bil135 pertains to subdivisions of less than 35 acres.
Geoiob"ric hazards can occur on' large-scales or small-scales;
relying on low-density subdivision can not mitigate all geologic
hazards. For instance, entire hillsides might be prone to rockfall
or landslide hazards. Large tracts of land may be subject to
groundwater problems.
Why call't 1 just use the soil conservation maps for a geologic
report?
The USDA soil conservation maps are a. good start for geolOgiC
investigations, but do not contain sufficient detail on the possible
geologic problems that may occur at any site.
Aren't some of your review comments beyond the scope of geologic
hazards on my site?
Technically other agencies have regulatory authority regarding
issues such as flood plains, groWldwater availability and wildfire,
but these issues are also important factors in the overall geologic
context of the site and may affect geologic hazards on the site. The
mention of a condition in the CGS review letter is not intended to
influence the statutory authority of any other agency, but rather to
ensure that all parties are aware of a potentially problematic
geologic condition. For instance, mention of a situation involving a
major drainage is a flag that the U.S. Anny Corps of Engineers or
the Colorado Water Conservation Board should be reviewing
development plans.
When I bOltght this properltJ, no one told me abollt auy geologic
hazards on the site; can 1 go back to the previous owners
somehow?
CGS can not give legal advice. If the seller was aware of adverse
conditions with respect to the proposed use, this should have
been disclosed. A legal opinion should be sought.
Can 1 get a waiver from havin.g ,the CGS do a review?
The discretion to grant waivers is vested by law with the counties.
Once an application for review is submitted to eGS, we are under
a statutory responsibility to respond.
I am willin.g to accept the risk associated with my property -
wIly is itanyolle's business.whatl do with my own laud?
The preswnption associated with a subdivision is that portions
of the property will be sold to others. This then assigns any risk
to future buyers, and the county is required to protect their
interests. Senate Bill 35 addresses a wide variety of land use
issues as welt as geologic suitability in an attempt to provide
information so that the overall appropriateness of fue
subdivision proposal can be eva1uated.

these soils are droughty, applications of
water should be light and frequent. Irrigation
can be applied by corrugation, sprinkler, and
23
flooding methods. If properly managed, the unit can
produce 4 tons of irrigated grass hay per acre annually .
This unit is moderately well suited to irrigated crops.
If furrow or corrugation irrigation systems are used, runs
should be on the contour or across the slope. If properly
managed, the unit can produce 70 bushels of barley per
acre annually.
The potential plant community on this unit is mainly
western wheatgrass, Indian ricegrass, needleandthread,
big sagebrush, and Douglas rabbitbrush. Nevada
bluegrass, prairie junegrass, and bottlebrush squirreltail
also are included. The average annual production of air-
dry vegetation is about 800 pounds per acre. Suitable
management practices include proper grazing use and
a planned grazing system.
If the quality of range vegetation has seriously
deteriorated, seeding is needed. The main limitations
are cobbles and stones. For successful seeding, a
seedbed should be prepared and the seed drilled.
Brush management improves deteriorated areas of
range that are producing more woody shrubs than were
present in the potential plant community.
If this unit is used for homesite development, the
main limitation is small stones. Population growth has
resulted in increased construction of homes in areas of
this unit. Topsoil can be stockpiled and used to reclaim
areas disturbed during construction. The gravel and
cobbles in disturbed areas should be removed if the site
is landscaped, particularly in areas used for law'ns. If
the density of housing is moderate or high, community
sewage systems are needed to prevent the
contamination of water supplies resulting from seepage
from onsite sewage disposal systems.

42-Fluvaquents, 0 to 10 percent slopes. This
broadly defined unit consists of deep, somewhat poorly
drained, nearly level soils on flood plains and alluvial
valley floors. These soils formed in alluvium.
Fluvaquents are stratified and vary widely in texture
and in depth to sand, gravel, and cobbles. Typically, the
surface layer ranges from loamy sand to fine sandy
loam or from silt loam to clay loam. The underlying
layers are generally sandy loam or loam stratified with
sand, gravel; and cobbles. In some areas gravel and
cobbles are on or near the surface.
The water table fluctuates between depths of 0.5 fo.ot
and 2.0 feet during spring and summer. These soils are
occasionally flooded for brief periods in late spring and
early summer.
Included in this unit are smalt, isolated areas of
Redrob soils. Also included are small, isolated areas
where water stands at or near the surface all year.
These water areas are identified by a special symbol on
the soil maps. Included areas make up about 15
percent of the total acreage.
These soils are used for wildlife habitat, recreational
development, or grazing. The native vegetation is
mainly cottonwood, willow, water-tolerant grasses,
sedges, and rushes. Mule deer, cottontail rabbit, coyote,
and bobcat and ducks, geese, and other native birds
find food and shelter on these soils. Where feasible,
planting small grain, trees, and shrubs improves the
habitat for upland Wildlife.
This unit is poorly suited to homesite development.
The main limitations are the flooding and the seasonal
high water table.
