JflKtTA -1 ri • Preface Soil surveys contain information that affects land use planning in survey areas. They highlight soil limitations that affect various land uses and provide information about the properties of the soils in the survey areas. Soil surveys are designed for many different users, including farmers, ranchers, foresters, agronomists, urban planners, community officials, engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers. Also, conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation, waste disposal, and pollution control can use the surveys to help them understand, protect, or enhance the environment. Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may impose special restrictions on land use or land treatment. Soil surveys identify soil properties that are used in making various land use or land treatment decisions. The information is intended to help the land users identify and reduce the effects of soil limitations on various land uses. The landowner or user is responsible for identifying and complying with existing laws and regulations. Although soil survey information can be used for general farm, local, and wider area planning, onsite investigation is needed to supplement this information in some cases. Examples include soil quality assessments (http://www.nres.usda.gov/wpst portallnrestmainlsoilslhealthl) and certain conservation and engineering applications. For more detailed information, contact your local USDA Service Center (https:Toffices.sc.egov.usda.gov/locatortapp?agency=nres) or your NRCS State Soil Scientist (http://www.nres.usda.gov/wpstportal/nrestdetailtsoilstcontactus/? cid=nres142p2_053951). Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances. Some soils are seasonally wet or subject to flooding. Some are too unstable to be used as a foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils are poorly suited to use as septic tank absorption fields. A high water table makes a soil poorly suited to basements or underground installations. The National Cooperative Soil Survey is a joint effort of the United States Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the Agricultural Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has leadership for the Federal part of the National Cooperative Soil Survey. Information about soils is updated periodically. Updated information is available through the NRCS Web Soil Survey, the site for official soil survey information.

Also presented are various metadata about data used to produce the map, and a description of each soil map unit. 5 Q 5 40'1YN 400 2605 FA4I700 C Ill N Feet 0 5000 10000 20000 30000 Map projection: Web Mercator Comer coordinates: WGSB4 Edge tics: UTM Zone 13N WGSB4 6 Custom Soil Resource Report Soil Map Q N 0 511000 5140M 517000 520000 573000 526000 454502 532000 536200 538000 E41000 2 Map Scale: 1:10000011 printed on A landscape (11" x B.S') sheet. a Meters 0 2000 4000 0000 12000 P 40° 38'12"N 40° 26'6"N Custom Soil Resource Report MAP LEGEND Area of Interest (AOI) Area of Interest (AOI) Soils Soil Map Unit Polygons r a Soil Map Unit Lines O Soil Map Unit Points Special Point Features u Blowout rod Borrow Pit Clay Spot 0 Closed Depression Gravel Pit Gravelly Spot o Landfill Lava Flow NP Marsh or swamp MineorQuarry Miscellaneous Water © Perennial Water w' Rock Outcrop .L_ Saline Spot Ono Sandy Spot Severely Eroded Spot Sinkhole Slide or Slip oa Sadie Spot Spoil Area Stony Spot PS Very Stony Spat Wet Spot Other Special Line Features Water Features Streams and Canals Transportation +-" Rails Interstate Highways US Routes Major Roads Local Roads Background Aerial Photography MAP INFORMATION The soil surveys that comprise your AOI were mapped at 1:24,000. Please rely on the bar scale on each map sheet for map measurements. Source of Map: Natural Resources Conservation Service Web Soil Survey URL: Coordinate System: Web Mercator (EPSM:SSbS) Maps from the Web Soil Survey are based on the Web Mercator projection, which preserves direction and shape but distorts distance and area. A projection that preserves area, such as the Albers equal-area conic projection, should be used if more accurate calculations of distance or area are required. This product is generated from the USDA-NRCS certified data as of the version date(s) listed below. Soil Survey Area: Weld County, Colorado, Northern Part Survey Area Data: Version 15, Jun 5, 2020 Soil Survey Area: Weld County, Colorado, Southern Part Survey Area Data: Version 19, Jun 5, 2020 Your area of interest (AOI) includes more than one soil survey area. These survey areas may have been mapped at different scales, with a different land use in mind, at different times, or at different levels of detail. This may result in map unit symbols, soil properties, and interpretations that do not completely agree across soil survey area boundaries. Soil map units are labeled (as space allows) for map scales 1:50,000 or larger. Date(s) aerial images were photographed: Jan 1, 1999 —Dec 31, 2003 The orthophoto or other base map on which the soil lines were compiled and digitized probably differs from the background 7 Custom Soil Resource Report MAP LEGEND MAP INFORMATION imagery displayed on these maps. Asa result, some minor shifting of map unit boundaries may be evident. er Custom Soil Resource Report Map Unit Legend Map Unit Symbol Map Unit Name Acres in A0I Percent of AOI 1 Altvan fine sandy loam, 0 to 6 300 0.0% percent slopes 4 Ascalon fine sandy loam, 0 to 6 253.7 0.3%0 percent slopes 9 Avar fine sandy loam 924.9 1.0% 28 Haplaquolls-Fluvaquents 207.2 0.2% complex, frequently flooded 29 Haverson loam, 0 to 3 percent 165.1 0.2% slopes 34 Manter sandy loam, 0 to 6 42.7 0.0% percent slopes 36 Manzanola clay loam, 0 to 3 33.0 0.0% percent slopes 40 Nunn loam, 0 to 6 percent 258.6 0.3% slopes 41 Nunn clay loam, 0 to 6 percent 154.6 0.2% slopes 42 Olney loamy sand, 0 to 3 44.1 0.0% percent slopes 43 Olney loamy sand, 3 to 9 12.9 0.0% percent slopes 44 Olney fine sandy loam, 0 to 6 3,112.1 3.2% percent slopes 45 Olney fine sandy loam, 6 to 9 11.7 0.0% percent slopes 46 Otero sandy loam, 0 to 3 469.8 0.5% percent slopes 47 Otero sandy loam, 3 to 9 153.3 0.2% percent slopes 54 Platner loam, 0 to 3 percent 364.6 0.4% slopes 55 Renohill fine sandy loam, 0 to 6 791.9 0.8% percent slopes 56 Renohill fine sandy loam, 6 to 9 63.8 0.1% percent slopes 72 Vona loamy sand, 3 to 9 60.3 0.1% percent slopes 73 Vona sandy loam, 0 to 3 351.5 0.4% percent slopes 74 Vona sandy loam, 3 to 9 1,229.2 1.3% percent slopes 85 Water 74.8 0.1% Subtotals for Soil Survey Area 8,811.7 9O% Totals for Area of Interest 95,891.2 100.0% 9 Custom Soil Resource Report Map Unit Symbol Map Unit Name Acres in AOI Percent of AOI 1 Altvan loam, 0 to 1 percent 2,785.6 2.9% slopes 2 Altvan loam, 1 to 3 percent 213.4 0.2% slopes 3 Aquolls and Aquents, gravelly 47.8 0.0% substratum 4 Aquolls and Aquepts, flooded 2,660.7 2.8% 8 Ascalon loam, 0 to 1 percent 1,078.0 1.1% slopes 9 Ascalon loam, 1 to 3 percent 304.2 0.3% slopes 13 Cascajo gravelly sandy loam, 5 82.0 0.1% to 20 percent slopes 14 Colby loam, 0 to 1 percent 1,808.8 1.9% slopes 15 Colby loam, 1 to 3 percent 448.3 0.5% slopes 16 Colby loam, 3 to 5 percent 68.8 0.1% slopes 17 Colby loam, 5 to 9 percent 42.3 0.0% slopes 19 Colombo clay loam, 0 to 1 2,208.5 2.3% percent slopes 20 Colombo clay loam, 1 to 3 204.0 0.2% percent slopes 21 Dacono clay loam, 0 to 1 2,626.1 2.7% percent slopes 22 Dacono clay loam, 1 to 3 233.8 0.2% percent slopes 24 Fort Collins loam, 0 to 3 percent 1,601.6 1.7% slopes 25 Haverson loam, 0 to 1 percent 1,258.6 1.3% slopes 26 Haverson loam, 1 to 3 percent 355.0 0.4% slopes 27 Heldt silty clay, 1 to 3 percent 43.5 0.0% slopes 30 Julesburg sandy loam, 1 to 3 10.7 0.0% percent slopes 31 Kim loam, 0 to 1 percent slopes 2,948.2 3.1% 32 Kim loam, 1 to 3 percent slopes 21,527.1 22.4% 33 Kim loam, 3 to 5 percent slopes 2,603.3 2.7% 34 Kim loam, 5 to 9 percent slopes 677.1 0.7% 35 Loup-Boel loamy sands, 0 to 3 8.4 0.0% percent slopes 37 Nelson fine sandy loam, 0 to 3 1,577.2 1.6% percent slopes 10 Custom Soil Resource Report Map Unit Symbol Map Unit Name Acres in AOI Percent of AOl 38 Nelson fine sandy loam, 3 to 9 738.4 0.8% percent slopes 39 Nunn loam, 0 to 1 percent 575.6 0.6% slopes 40 Nunn loam, 1 to 3 percent 1,134.8 1.2% slopes 41 Nunn clay loam, 0 to 1 percent 4,467.4 4.7% slopes 42 Nunn clay loam, 1 to 3 percent 82.0 0.1% slopes 46 Olney fine sandy loam, 0 to 1 2,366.2 2.5% percent slopes 47 Olney fine sandy loam, 1 to 3 7,673.8 8.0% percent slopes 48 Olney fine sandy loam, 3 to 5 percent slopes 1,402.6 1.5% 50 Otero sandy loam, 0 to 1 769.7 0.8% percent slopes 51 Otero sandy loam, 1 to 3 8,486.9 8.9% percent slopes 52 Otero sandy loam, 3 to 5 2,563.7 2.7% percent slopes 53 Otero sandy loam, 5 to 9 788.9 0.8% percent slopes 55 Paoli loam, 1 to 3 percent 33.0 0.0% slopes 56 Renohill clay loam, 0 to 3 197.8 0.2% percent slopes 57 Renohill clay loam, 3 to 9 48.9 0.1% percent slopes 58 Shingle loam, 1 to 3 percent 685.3 0.7% slopes 59 Shingle loam, 3 to 9 percent 259.1 0.3% slopes 61 Tassel fine sandy loam, 5 to 20 148.8 0.2% percent slopes 63 Terry fine sandy loam, 3 to 9 167.4 0.2% percent slopes 64 Thedalund loam, 1 to 3 percent 3,714.0 3.9% slopes 65 Thedalund loam, 3 to 9 percent 381.3 0.4% slopes 68 Ustic Tender heats, moderately 9.3 0.0% steep 72 Vona loamy sand, 0 to 3 259.6 0.3% percent slopes 73 Vona loamy sand, 3 to 5 102.8 0.1% percent slopes 11 Custom Soil Resource Report Map Unit Symbol Map Unit Name Acres in AOI Percent of AOI 74 Vona loamy sand, 5 to 9 percent slopes 8.2 0.0% 75 Vona sandy loam, 0 to 1 percent slopes 226.5 0.2% 76 Vona sandy loam, 1 to 3 percent slopes 370.6 0.4% 77 Vona sandy loam, 3 to 5 percent slopes 25.8 0.0% 78 Weld loam, 0 to 1 percent slopes 1,136.0 1.2% 79 Weld loam, 1 to 3 percent slopes 59.0 0.1% 84 Playas 4.1 0.0% 85 Water 7572 0.8% 88 Ellicott-Glenberg complex, 0 to 3 percent slopes, occasionally flooded 11.6 0.0% Subtotals for Soil Survey Area 87,079.4 90.8% Totals for Area of Interest 95,891.2 100.0% 12 References American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). 2004.
