SOILS INFORMATION 2
<br />3. A = 0-5 inches; sandy loam, 10 $ clay, very dark grayish
<br />brown SOYR 3/2 moist, non-calcareous, pH 7.8,
<br />AC = 5 to 10 inches; sandy loam, l0 $ clay, dark grayish
<br />brown 10YR 4/2 moist, strongly effervescent, pH = 8.0,
<br />weak medium prismatic parting to weak medium subangular
<br />block structure.
<br />Ck = 10 to 53 inches; loamy sand, 3 $ clay, brown 30YR 5/3
<br />moist, strongly effervescent, pH 8.2, few fine
<br />carbonate filaments and soft masses, massive.
<br />Due to dryness, Z could not auger deeper than 53 inches.
<br />This site was mapped soil symbol 112:
<br />Ustic Torriorthents. This is a broadly defined unit
<br />in Logan County; however, this soil falls with in
<br />the range of this map unit. The soils are light
<br />colored, thin surface, and sandy loam textures.
<br />4. A = 0 to 5 inches; sandy loam, very dark grayish brown lOYR
<br />3/2 moist, non-calcareous, pH 7.6.
<br />Bt 5 to 12 inches, clay loam, 30 percent clay, very dark
<br />grayish brown lOYR 3/2 moist, non-calcareous, pH = 7.8,
<br />strong medium angular blocky structure.
<br />Bkl =12 to 15 inches; loam, brown lOYR 4/3 moist, strongly
<br />alkaline, pH 8.0.
<br />Bk2 =15 to 21 inches; loam, brown lOYR 5/
<br />effervescent, pH = 9.0, weak fine an
<br />structure.
<br />Bk3 =21 to 26 inches; loam, brown lOYR 5/
<br />effervescent, pH = 8.8, many fine an
<br />carbonate masses and filaments, weak
<br />platy structure.
<br />Bk4 =26 to 28 inches; loam, brown lOYR 5/3
<br />effervescent, pH = 8.8 weak fine and
<br />structure.
<br />Could not auger deeper than 28 inche
<br />rock underneath. There appeared to be
<br />rock structure below this horizon.
<br />This site was mapped 24 - Dix-Altvan

<br />Site 1: The depth of topsoil is about 16 inches thick for
<br />reclamation use. The soil material below 16 inches would probably
<br />still support plant growth, but it has a little higher pH as well as
<br />lower organic matter content.
<br />Site 2: The depth of topsoil is about 10 inches thick for
<br />reclamation use. The soil below 10 inches would still support plant
<br />growth. As in site 1, roots would still penetrate this material.
