SKYLICK LOAM, 66D, 3 TO 25 PERCENT SLOPES <br />C~ . <br />This is a deep, well drained soil on gently sloping to moderately steep <br />mountain benches and side slopes. It formed in material weathered from <br />sandstone. <br />Typically, the surface layer is dark grayish brown loam about 24 inches <br />thick. The subsurface layer is brown light clay loam about 14 inches <br />thick. <br />The subsoil is brown and yellowish brown light clay loam extending to 60 <br />inches or more. <br />Permeability is moderately slow. Effective rooting depth is 60 inches or <br />more. Available water capacity is high. Surface runoff is slow to medium. <br />AL VARIANT-LYMANSON-STARMAN COMPLEX <br />These shallow and moderately deep soils are on steep and very steep <br />~~ mountain side slopes. These soils formed in sandstone and shale. Royal <br />Variant soils makeup about 35 percent of this unit, Lymanson makes up <br />about 30 percent, and Starman makes up about 20 percent. Rock outcrops <br />are included in this unit. <br />Typically, the Royal Variant soil has a brown sandy loam surface layer <br />about 2 inches thick. The underlying material is a brown sandy clay loam <br />about 6 inches thick over a light olive brown silty clay loam. At 27 inches <br />is weathered soft shale. <br />Permeability of the Royal Variant is moderately slow. Available water <br />caparity is low. Surface runoff is rapid. <br />Typically, the Lymanson soil has a dark grayish brown loam surface about <br />2 inches thick. The subsoil is a brown heavy loam about LO inches thick. <br />The substratum is a grayish brown silty clay loam about 16 inches thick <br />over soft weathered shale. <br />(•% Permeability of the Lymanson soil is moderate. Available water capacity is <br />low. <br />
