They formed in alluvium from sandstone, shale, and basalt. Elevation ranges from 7,500 to 9,500 feet. The average annual precipitation is about 20 inches, the average annual air temperature is about 44 degrees F., and the average frost -free period is less than 75 days. Jerry soil is mostly on the smooth or concave sites and makes up 30 percent of the mapping unit. Libeg soil generally is on convex sites or small knobs, and makes up 30 percent of the unit. Included in this unit are small areas of closely related soils. Clayburn soil is included mainly on smooth or convex sites and makes up 15 percent of this unit. The remaining 25 percent of the unit consists of other small areas of closely related soils. There are intermingled areas of soils differing from Jerry and Libeg soils only in having dark surface layers which are more than 16 inches thick, and areas differing from Libeg soil only in being less than 40 inches to bedrock. Also, small areas have very stony and bouldery surfaces. In the Jerry soil, typically the surface layer is a very dark grayish brown and dark grayish brown fine sandy loam and loam about 15 inches thick. The subsoil is a light brownish gray and light olive brown clay loam and channery clay loam about 25 inches thick. The substratum is a light olive brown and light brownish gray very channery sandy 56E-Jerry-Libeg complex clay loam and extremely shaly light clay loam which grades into frac- tured shale bedrock at depths below 50 inches. Depth to bedrock underlying the Jerry soil ranges from 40 to more than 60 inches. The mollic epipedon ranges from 10 to 16 inches thick and may include the upper part of the subsoil. Combined thickness of surface soil and subsoil is 24 to 50 inches. Rock fragments in the surface layer and subsoil ranges from 5 to 35 percents If there is more than 20 percent rock fragments cobble and stone predominate. The surface layer is very dark grayish brown, dark grayish brown, or dark brown and is loam or, in part, fine sandy loam. The subsoil ranges in hue from 7.5YR to 2.5Y, and color ranges from grayish brown through brown, pale brown, and yellowish brown to dark yellowish brown, light yellowish brown, and light olive brown. The fine earth fraction averages between 35 and 40 percent clay. While most of this layer is clay loam, part may be sandy clay loam or clay, and in places this layer is channery, cobbly, or stony. The lower part of the subsoil is calcareous. The substratum, to bedrock or to a depth of 60 inches, is calcareous and averages between 25 and 35 percent clay and between 10 and 50 percent rock fragments. 56E-Jerry-Libeg complex In the Libeg soil, typically the surface layer is a very dark grayish brown and grayish brown loam about 14 inches thick. The subsoil is a light yellowish brown and grayish brown very cobbly clay loam, about 16 inches thick. The substratum is a pale brown very cobbly loam which is underlain by very hard shale at a depth of 41 inches. Depth to hard bedrock ranges from 40 to 60 inches. Combined thickness of surface soil and subsoil is 22 to 42 inches. The surface layer ranges in color from very dark grayish brown to grayish brown in hue of 10YR. Texture is loam, fine sandy loam, or sandy loam averaging between 10 and 25 percent rock fragments. The subsoil ranges in color from brown to light yellowish brown and to light brownish gray in hue of 7.5YR to 2.5Y. Texture is heavy loam, sandy clay loam, or light clay loam, modified as very cobbly or very stony. Channery, gravel, or flag may also be present. The substratum is brown, pale brown, or brownish yellow in hues of 7.5YR to 2.5Y. Permeability of the Jerry soil is slow. Effective rooting depth is 40 to 60 inches. Available water capacity is high. Organic matter content of the surface layer is high. Surface runoff is medium and erosion hazard is moderate. • • 56E-Jerry-Libeg complex Permeability of the Libeg soil is moderate. Effective rooting depth is 40 to 60 inches. Available water capacity is low to moderate. Organic matter content of the surface is high. Surface runoff is medium and erosion hazard is moderate. These soils are used mainly for livestock grazing, wildlife habitat, and for big game hunting recreation. The potential native vegetation on the Jerry soil is mainly Cambel oak, serviceberry, snowberry, elk sedqe, Kentucky bluegrass, Junegrass, phloxoand balsamroot. The potential native vegetation on the Libeg soil is mainly bluebunch wheatgrass, muttongrass, Sandberg bluegrass, Junegrass; bitterbrush and snowberry. When the range is in poor condition on both soils, Kentucky bluegrass, undesirable annual plants)and woody shrubs are more preveiant. Good grazing management maintains -and improves range condition. Brush management and seeding are not practical because of steep slopes and stoniness of soil. Wildlife using these soils include mule deer, elk, gray squirrel, and blue grouse. 56E-Jerry-Libeg complex Slope, shrink -swell, clay, slow percolation, and low strength are factors limiting to engineering uses of Jerry soils. They are moderately well suited for trench -type sanitary landfills and selected areas are also moderately well suited for area -type sanitary landfills, as well as for cover material. Except for selected areas, they have severe limitations for community development and are poor sources of top soil. Care should be exercised in building roads because of slump hazard. The Libeg soil is severely limited by slope for all engineering uses including sanitary facilities and as source of roadfill or topsoil. Rock fragments, shrink -swell, and depth to bedrock may also be severely limiting for a given use.
