ERO Resources <br />• <br />The Moyerson soil is shallow and well-drained. It developed from <br />calcareous shale residuum on ridgetops and strop aides lopes. Small areas <br />of Rentsac and Redcreek were included in mapping. These soils occupy less <br />than 1S percent of the mapping unit. <br />In a typical profile, the surfaoe layer is light yellowish brown stony <br />sandy loam about 2 inches thick. The subsurface soil is light yellowish <br />brown channery loam about 5 irahee thick. The wbstratum is pale brown <br />calcareous channery silty olay about 7 inches thick and ie underlain with <br />fractured, interbedded sandstone, loamstone and shale at a depth of 14 <br />i rahe6. <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 <br />and moderate to high from water. Available waterholding capacity is <br />moderate to low. Effective rooting depth is 10 to 20 inches. <br />• <br />This soil is used for livestock grazing and wildlife habitat. The <br />vegetation is primarily mixed perennial grassy, sparse big sagebrush and <br />some areas of 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 />II.I-21 <br />
