It is a practical classification based on limitations of the soils, the rink of damage when they are used, and the way they respond to treatment. The soils are classified according to degree and kind of permanent limitation, but without consideration of major and generally expensive landforming that would change the slope, depth, or other characteristics of the soils; and without consideration of possible but unlikely major reclamation projects. Roman numerals are used to show the 8 broad Capability Classes and lettere follow the class numeral to indicate the principal problem or hazard. Classes and sub-classes used are as follows : Class I - Few or no limitations that restrict choice of crops or require conservation measures. Class II -Some limitations that reduce the choice of crops or require moderate conservation measures. Claes III - Severe limitations that reduce choice of crops or require special conservation practices or both. Class IV - Very severe limitations that restrict the choice of crops , require very careful management, or both. Class V - Not suited for cultivation but has few or no hazards when used for pasture, range, woodland or wildlife. Class VI - Not suited for cultivation. Severe limitations. Suited for range, pasture, woodland or wildlife with careful management and needed conservation practices. Clans VII - Not suited for cultivation. Very severe limitations. Suited for range, woodland or wildlife uses if carefully managed. Usually cannot apply physical practices such as pitting, furrowing, seeding, etc. Class VIII - Not suited for cultivation, range, pasture or woodland. Suited only for recreation, wildlife, water supply or esthetic purposes. e - Erosion by wind or water is the major problem. w - Excessive water such as wetness, overflow, or high water table. s - Major problem is in the soil. It may be too shallow, too heavy, stony, low in fertility, salty, alkaline or have low moisture capacity. c - Climate is the major hazard. Crowing season may be very short, there is a shortage of rainfall or both. Examples: IIIe - Class III land where erosion is the major hazard. IVc - Claes IV land where the climate is the major problem. 89017 5 • • '• CO-CPA-1 U. S.

O. Box 758 Greeley , CO 80632 RE : National Hog Farms Application for Plow Permit Deaar Sirs : We are providing assistance to National Hog Farms , Inc . , in planning for conservation measures . Our planning processes over the next few months will be ongoing and segmented . We are writing at this time to provide additional useful information . Initially , a plan has been written to cover the establishment of four 80 acre waste application areas ( covering 320 acres total ) . Waste application will be by center pivot system to irrigated pasture and hayland . Cultivation will be kept to a minimal level due to the fragile nature of the soils involved . Interseeding for stand improvement and nitrogen up-take will leave most of the present plant community undisturbed . Some land areas will need to be smoothed ( leveled by cutting and filling ) to facilitate operation of the center pivots . Preliminary estimates were not more than 40 acres per pivot would be affected by smoothing operations . "The size of the areas to be smoothed will be kept to minimal size . . . " as is specified in the plan . We trust this additional information has helped provide a better understanding of this unique situation . Sincerely , Ronald D .

Ordinarily, this does not require a complete grid survey. This includes operations ordinarily classed as rough grading. This does not include the "floating" done as a regular maintenance practice on irri- gated land or the "planing" done as the final step in Irrigation Land Leveling or Drainage Land Grading. Purpose 1. Improve surface drainage. 2. Provide for more effective use of precipitation. 3. Obtain uniform planting depths. 4. Provide for more uniform cultivation. 5. Improve equipment operation and efficiency. 6. Improve terrace alignment. 7. Facilitate contour cultivation. Conditions Where Practice Applies �J This practice applies on lands where depressions, mounds, old terraces, turn rove, and other surface irregularities interfere with the application of needed soil and water conservation and management practices. It is limited to areas having adequate soil depths. Design Criteria The extent of rough grading required and tolerances of the finished smoothing job shall be in keeping with the requirements of the planned cropping system. SPECIFICATIONS General Specifications Design and layout shall be in keeping with SCS Engineering Stanard Ho. Colo-466 LAND SMOOTHING and with good engineering practice. Construction shall be in accordance with the plans and specifications. Construction Specifications Construction operations shall be carried out in such a manner that erosion and air and water pollution will be minimized and held within legal limits. The land to be cleared shall be cleared of vegetative matter and trash. Irregularities which apparently would not be removed by three passes of theland plane or land leveler should be rough graded to more uniform typography prior to the overall smoothing operation. The ground surface should be plowed or disked prior to smoothing. At least three passes of the land plane or leveler should be made over the land to be smootl-.ed in different directions, consisting of one pass along each diagonal and the last pass gener- ally in the direction of cultivation or irrigation. 1/1/72 T.G.

TG Notice 223 Colorado, SCS, May 1984 890905 3. It is usually desirable to control all brush on pastureland except for odd areas and mottes left for shade, wildlife, or esthetic value. 4. Brush, on land where wildlife is a primary or important use, should be manipulated to provide optimum wildlife habitat and to facilitate wildlife management. Mechanical, chemical, and biological procedures and prescribed burning may be used singly or in combination, depending on such factors as (1) kind of land (site); (2) topography; (3) species of woody plants-whether they are rootsprouters or nonsprouters; (4) size, abundance, and distribution of woody plants; (5) hazards of treatment; (6) objectives of the land user; and (7) cost in relation to expected benefits. It is the policy of the soil' Conservation Service to encourage the use of pest-control methods having the least potential hazard or-adverse impact on man, animals, and the environment. Conservationists are to (1) encourage cooperators to fully consider present and future land use opportunities in relation to brush management, including expected effect on wildlife habitat, potential recreation use, and attrac- tiveness of the landscape; (2) determine that the landowner understands the technical requirements, possible hazards, and costs of the practice and that the landowner will apply the kind of grazing management and maintenance measures that will insure success; and (3) help land users understand the environmental impacts of brush management, both positive and negative, onsite and off site. SCS Planner's Responsibilities I. While the final decisions to proceed on any practice or management system rest with the land user or landowner, the conservationist must provide complete, factual information in order to assist the decision maker to: a. Understand the extent and value of all of the resources which would be impacted. b. Evaluate both the short-term and long-term, on-site and off-site, impacts of proposed actions. c. Suggest the alternative which has the greatest positive impacts on social, economic, and environmental values. d. Recognize the opportunity to suggest an alternative with high potential for improving multiple resource values. II. In order to accomplish these planning considerations, the conserva- tionist should prepare evaluations of the potential impacts of the selected action or alternative upon: -2- 890905 • a. Current and potential forage production. b. Current and potential wood products. • c. Current and potential levels of erosion and water quality. d. Current and potential values of wildlife habitats and wildlife populations. e. Current and potential values of recreational uses. f. Current and potential values of the landscape; expressed as the visual impact and sensitivity level of the landscape as a function of the viewing public. g. The kinds and amounts of grazing management and maintenance mea- sures which will be needed to insure the success of vegetative improvement and the maintenance of the vegetation. The possible costs, marginal dollar reaction, economic, and pollution hazards will be evaluated. These evaluations will be throughly discussed with the decisionmaker. III. An Environmental Assessment will be prepared for the brush management alternative selected by the cooperator. IV. Infestation can be determined on percent canopy cover, number of plants per acre, or percent composition by (air dry) weight. (All references to percent composition of the potential plant community is air dry weight.) V. Brush management in Colorado will be applicable when growth of brush and other conditions are as stated for the following species: a. Basin Big Sagebrush, Artemisia tridentata tridentata, mountain big sagebrush, Artemisia tridentata vaseyana, Wyoming big sagebrush, Artemisia tridentata wyomingensis. Control should be limited to areas where these sagebrush significantly exceed the maximum allowable percentage in the potential plant community as indicated in the range site description or exceed 15 percent crown canopy. b. Sand Sagebrush, Artemisia filifolia. Control of sand sagebrush should be limited to areas where the crown canopy is greater than 15 percent or the percent potential plant community is exceeded. • c. Pinyon, Pinus edulis, Utah Juniper, Juniperus osteosperma, and oneseed juniper, Juniperus monosperma. Pinyon-Juniper control is applicable when these species have either invaded the site and TG Notice 223 Colorado, SCS, May 1984 -3- 890905 • the percentage composition of the potential plant community is exceeded, or the crown canopy substantially exceeds 10 percent or exceeds 154 plants per acre. Pinyon-Juniper management should be limited to sites which have favorable soil, slopes, and potential of producing a good ground cover. The practice is not applicable to sites with more than 15-25 percent slopes, shallow soils, and having low potential forage production. d. Tall Rabbitbrush, Chrysothamnus nauseosus. All subspecies of Chrysothamnus nauseosus may be sprayed. Rabbitbrush management is applicable where the percentage composition of the potential plant community exceeds 15 percent or has a crown canopy in excess of 15 percent. e. Snakeweed, Xanthacephalum sarothrae --formerly-Gutierrezia sarothrae. Snakeweed control is applicable in Colorado on loamy plains, alkaline plains, and sandy plains range sites in Land Resource Area 69 and in the Land Resource Area 67 in Kiowa, Prowers, Baca, and Las Animas Counties. Control will be limited to areas where percentage constitutes at least 15 percent of the potential plant community or has a 5 percent crown canopy. f. Five-stamen Tamarisk, Tamarix pentandia. Control is applicable in Colorado (1) where the five-stamen tamarisk interferes with forage production and livestock grazing, or the crown canopy exceeds 10 percent; and (2) where the practice will not detract from natural beauty, wildlife values, or soil stability. g. Small soapweed, Yucca glauca. Control is applicable where the percentage of small soapweed constitutes at least 10 percent canopy of the existing plant community. h. Wormwood, Artemisia dracunculus. Control is applicable where the percentage of wormwood constitutes at least 10 percent crown canopy of the existing plant community. i. Black greasewood, Sarcobatus vermiculatus. Black greasewood control is applicable where the percentage is greater than 15 percent crown canopy. Specifications 1. All brush management areas treated before June 30 will be protected from grazing by domestic stock until the end of the second growing season following the year the practice is applied. Brush control performed after June 30 on through the winter shall be followed by deferred grazing (550) during the next two growing seasons. If recovery of the native vegetation is adequate, limited grazing may be allowed the second year after control. 2. Reseeding should be planned for areas in poor range condition where natural re-establishment of an adequate plant community is unlikely following brush management. A minimum of two years deferment from grazing shall be scheduled. -4- 590905 • 3. Provide for the practical preservation of the natural, esthetic, and recreational qualities. This could include providing view barriers of untreated land along major roads. It may also include the preservation of irregular strips along perennial streams, lakes, marshes, and upland meadows. 4. Include the needs of wildlife species in the overall management plan. If on-site evaluation identifies critical problems, the SCS Biologist and Colorado Division of Wildlife will be consulted. 5. No sagebrush shall be treated or destroyed within one-fourth mile of any, known sage grouse "strutting" ground and these "strutting" grounds should not be isolated within treated areas. Leave a minimum 100-yards- wide strip connecting "strutting" grounds to permanent sagebrush cover. Control of mountain big sagebrush and Wyoming big sagebrush should not be encouraged on areas designated as critical wildlife habitat. a. If an area is to be burned, refer to prescribed burning specifications for control by burning. b. Mechanical Treatment (1) Plowing or Rotary Tiller Equipment • (a) Adaptation. Effective on all shrubs such as big sage- brush (all subspecies), broom snakeweed, tall rabbit- brush, black greasewood, and five-stamen tamarisk on range sites with relatively stone-free soils and level to moderate slopes (generally less than 25 percent). (b) Type of Equipment. Moldboard plow, wheatland plow, heavy offset disk, brushland plow, heavy sweep and roottype plows, and heavy rototiller-type equipment. (c) Time of operation. Late spring or early summer when soil conditions are favorable for plowing before shrubs have matured seed. (Soils should be dry enough to severly limit regrowth on partially covered plant roots and crowns.) (d) Methods. Plow or rotary-till at a depth sufficient to sever taproots. Operate disk-type plows at a sharp angle to insure completely cutting the roots. (Sometimes this will require a follow-up disking in late August to complete the kill.) (e) Refer to seeding specifications (550) for re-establishment of forage cover. TG Notice 223 Colorado, SCS, May 1984 -5- 890905 • (2) Railing and Dragging (a) Adaptation. Limited primarily to mat uo good understory ca dent stands of big sagebrush, having of native grass. This method of brush management is not recommended if the site must be seeded. This practice is not effective on shrubs such as tall rabbitbrush, silver sagebrush, sand sagebrush, black greasewood, and rabbitbrush. (b) Equipment. Heavy rails of various types and design. Must be heavy enough to get desired reduction. Motor patrols and bulldozers can be used for surface c protection scalping, but care must be exercised to insure adegfrf trevrotectin against erosion during critical periods of this site. (c) Time of Operation. After brush has become dry and brittle, but before sagebrush has matured seed and replenished food reserves in the roots. This date will vary widely with seasonal conditions and elevations. Average date is approximately mid-July at elevations up to 5,000 feet, and from mid-August to September at elevations above 5,000 feet. (d) Methods. Rail or drag in opposite or diagonal directions. (3) Chaining (a) Adaptation. Chaining is most valuable on old, brittle ood sagebrush, pinyon and juniper trees having is planned understory of native grasses, unless seeding (b) Equipment. Heavy anchor chains 75 to 90 pounds per link. The heavier chains (70 pounds dus) are better s. ereforobig sagebrush and for making partial ared crawler-type tractors and 150 to 200 feet of chain with swivel joints connecting the chain to the tractors. Percent reduction can be increased by welding 18 to 30-inch pieces of rail to every second link. (c) Time of Operation (i) Sagebrush--after sagebrush is brittle, but before seed sets. (2) Juniper-Pinyon--early to late spring while moisture is still good. (d) Refer to seeding specifications (550) for re-establishment of vegetative cover. -6- 890905 (4) Beating (a) Adaptation. Limited to stone-free areas supporting stands of mature big sagebrush having a fair to good understory of native grasses, and unless seeding is planned. Not effective on tall rabbitbrush, silver sagebrush, sand sagebrush, black greasewood, five-stamen tamarisk, and other shrubs that sprout from roots when tops are killed or where there are many young, immature plants of any shrub species. (b) Equipment. Flail rotary and circular beaters, and circular saw-type equipment. (c) Time of Operation. Same as railing and dragging. • (b) Methods. Set equipment to operate about four inches above the ground so that low brush will be cut or shattered. Adjust travel speed to brush conditions. Reduce speed in heavy brush to permit all brush to be cut. c. Biological (1) No specific controls for common shrub species are available. The tussock moth attacks old stands of big sagebrush. To encourage its spread, defer grazing of areas infested until late summer and fall. d. Management by Use of Chemicals. See attached guide for specific recommendations for each species. (1) Application. Spray must be applied by helicopter, fixed-wing aircraft, or ground equipment. (a) Aerial Application. Flights must (1) be low enough to obtain proper distribution and coverage, and (2) be made when wind velocities are generally less than five miles per hour. For many products, air temperature must be above 60°F (15.5°C) and the plants growing actively. If the soils are dry, the plants may be in a semi-dormancy state and will not accept the herbicide. CAUTION Cooperators using chemical herbicides should be cautioned as follows: If herbicides are handled or applied improperly, or if unused portions are not disposed of safely, they may injure humans, domestic animals, desirable plants, and fish or other wildlife and may contaminate nearby crops, other vegetation, and water. Herbicides should not be used over or directly adjacent to ponds, lakes, or streams. Cooperators should be aware of and TG Notice 223 Colorado, SC5, May 1984 -7- 890905 adhere to provisions of local, county, state, or federal laws and regulations concerning the use of agricultural chemicals.
