<br />113 - Moyerson sandy loam, 6 to 30 percent slopes. <br />The Moyerson soil is shallow, calcarous, and wall-drained. It developed <br />fro;n fine-textured r=siduum over loamstone and shah . Small areas of Redcreek <br />and Rentsac soils and rock outcrop were included in mapping. Red creek soils are <br />shallow and more loamy. Rentsac soils are shallow but skeletal. <br />In a typical profile, the surface layer is light yellowish brown about 2 <br />inches thick. The subsurface soil is light yellowish brown channery loam about <br />5 inches thick. The substratum is pale brown calcareous channery silty clay about <br />14 inches thick and is underlain with fractured, interbedded sandstone, loamstone, <br />and shale at a depth of 14 inches. <br />'The Moyerson soil has moderately slow to slow permeability and medium to <br />moderately rapid runoff. The erosion hazard is low to moderate from wind and <br />• moderate to high frog water. Available waterholding capacity is moderate. <br />Effective rooting depth is 10 to 20 inches. <br />This soil is used for livestock grazing and wildlife habitat. The vegetation <br />is primarily mixed perennial grasses, sparse big sagebrush and some areas of <br />cheatgrass. <br />The average depth of suitable topsoil material is 8 inches. This material <br />is rated poor to fair with suitability decreasing with depth. <br />• <br />
