~, <br />TOPSOIL <br />Soils occurring in the permit area were adegately identified <br />in the baseline study. Clearly, the types of soils used in the <br />reclamation plan have a great deal to do with the ultimate <br />success of revegetation efforts. The following is a brief des- <br />cription of each of the eleven soil types identified. <br />The Ryan Park series are deep soils formed on alluvial fans <br />of calcareous sandstone material. They ae gently to moderately <br />sloping, well drained, moderately permeable with medium runoff. <br />The Forelle series are deep, nearly level to gently sloping <br />soils found on alluvial fans and along major drainages. They are <br />well drained with medium runoff and moderate permeability. <br />The Manburn series are shallow soils found on nearly level <br />to gently sloping uplands. They are well drained with medium <br />runoff and moderate permeability. <br />The Satanka series are moderately deep soils found on moder- <br />ately sloping uplands. They are well drained with medium runoff <br />an moderate permeability. <br />The Blackhall series are shallow calcareous soils found on <br />sloping to genly rolling ridgetops. They are well drained with <br />medium runoff and moderate permeability. <br />The Blackhall-Rock Outcrop Complex is found along sloping to <br />rolling ridgetops. This unit is composed of about 65% Blackhall <br />loamy fine sand and 35% rock outcrop. <br />The Spicerton series are deep, nearly level to moderately <br />sloping soils found on low terraces and upland drainageways. <br />They are well to moderately drained. Runoff is rapid. <br />-90- <br />
