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 com- 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. 67—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.

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.

McGregor Garfield County Planning Department 109 8th Street, Suite 303 Glenwood Springs, CO 81601 Re: Scott Exemption NE1/4, Sec. 36, T6S, R92W JERIS A. DANIELSON State Engineer Dear Mr. McGregor: We have reviewed the above referenced proposal to separate 2 acres from a 240 acre tract. It appears that there is an existing house and well (Permit No. 158093) on the proposed 2 acre parcel. This well was permitted as the only well on a 42 acre portion of the 240 acre tract. No additional exempt well permits will be available on the remaining 40 acres described on the permit. We ask that this prohibition be attached to the plat notes for the 238 acre parcel created by this exemption. The availability of a well on the remaining 198 acres of the 238 acre parcel is the same as for any tract of 35 acres or greater. We do not object to this proposal. Sincerely, ,James C. McDanold, P.E.
