Arvada clay-clay loam occupies sloping terraces and alluvial fans that have been formed by local alluvium from upland soils. The soil has alkali or saline areas and bare spots where wind erosion has removed the surface and exposed the clay subsoil. The surface horizon is light brownish gray friable clay or clay loam about 4 inches thick. The soil reaction (pH) ranges from slightly to strongly alkaline. The subsoil is brown to gray clay to clay loam about 20 inches thick and has columnar to prismatic structure. The substratum is clay loam to clay to 60 inches or more. The soil reaction of the subsoil and substratum ranges from strongly to very strongly alkaline. The internal drainage is very slow.

Table 28 Wa - Wibaux - Searing Complex This complex occupies rolling to hilly topography. It is characterized by numerous outcroppings or knolls of scoria which rise above the general surface of the land. Scoria is a reddish colored shaly material and clinker produced by the burning of underlying coal beds. The very shallow to shallow Wibaux soils occur on the knolls and steep slopes. It includes knolls, mounds, and steep slopes where unweathered scoria is exposed. The texture is gravelly to very gravelly loam and sandy loam. The depth to bedrock is less than 10 inches to 20 inches. Searing soil normally occurs between the knolls. The surface horizon is reddish brown gravelly loam about 5 inches thick. The subsoil is a reddish brown gravelly clay loam and has blocky structure. The substratum is friable, calcareous gravelly loam. Bedrock generally occurs at an average depth of 2 feet.

Impacts on wildlife Projected at over 200 percent increase increases throughout

management population increases between 1970 and 1990 are estimated

of the present northeast

population

in the study area and a 60 percent by comparable resources.

Wyoming.

This will be accompanied pressures

in consumptive

and non-consumptive

on wildlife

Most game species of fish, birds and mammals will not be able to absorb

C-53

increased pressures.

Where population

of some species are adequate

to

absorb increased pressure

in general, problems of new access, denied access, areas will cause problems of over-exploitation in others, more wildlife damage claims,

closed lands and restricted

in some areas, under-exploitation etc. The Wyoming Wardens, Waterfowl

Game and Fish Department Bird Biologists,

presently Fisheries

employs Game Biologists, for

Big Game Biologists, Biologists

and others amounting

to 15 to 25 employees

enforcement

and management

in the study area.

The present staff of employees, enforcement,

in each category, will be unable to adequately meet the increased management research, and habitat development or coordination

needs or the increased needs for studies, with industry and government in

and cooperation

the face of the proposed development.
