  7. Current Projects

  8. Soil Survey Manuscript • Completed English Edit Ecological Site Description Report • Currently at English Edit Hovenweep National Monument

  9. Capitol Reef National Park • Spatial and Attribute data are posted to WSS • Digital Map Finished Product is complete • Draft Manuscript has been circulated • ESDs are in draft form awaiting approval • ESD report is in draft form

  10. Held Scoping Meeting in April Research Permit Obtained Reconnaissance of riparian areas started in August Premapping started Zion National Park

  11. Mapping Considerations • More detailed mapping in high use areas • Detailed mapping on private inholdings • Note springs and related soils • 1 mm (#100) sieve data needed for hydrologic modeling • Surface and first underlying horizon • Prefer to store in NASIS Zion National Park

  12. FY 14 • Complete QC report • Submit draft series • Complete manuscript • QC Spatial data • Submit for Correlation Kane County Soil Survey

  13. Submitted for approval • Mellenthin very gravelly loam, 1 to 25 percent slopes • Klondike sandy clay loam, 2 to 15 percent slopes • Other potential projects • Gypsiorthids-Gypsiorthids, shallow complex, 1 to 50 percent slopes • Showlow very cobbly clay loam, 1 to 15 percent slopes SDJR Projects
