FRO Resouroes <br />• <br />This complex oocura on ridgetops and aideslopee at intermediate elevations <br />and developed from mixed calcareous residuum from inrterbedded earWstone, <br />ciltatone and shale. It is coeQrised of about 33 percent Meyerson boils, <br />30 percent Redcreak soita and 20 perosnt rock outcrop. Small areas of <br />Rentsac were included in mapping. Rentsac boils are shallow and <br />loamy-skeletal. Thew iraluded soils occupy about 1S percent of the unit. <br />The Meyerson soil is shallow, calcareous and well-drained. 1n a typioal <br />profile, the surface layer is light yellowish brown sandy loam about 2 <br />inches thick. The subwrface soil is light yellowish brown channery loam <br />about 5 inches thick. The substratum is pale brown calcareous channery <br />silty clay about 7 inches thick and is underlain with fractured, <br />interbedded sandstones, siltstone and shale at a depth of 1~ inches. <br />The Meyerson 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 waterhotding capacity is <br />moderate. Effective rooting depth is 10 to 20 inches. <br />The Redoraek soil is shallow, loamy textured and well-drained. Jt <br />dew loped from calcareous siltstorw and sandstone. In a typioal profile, <br />the surface layer is pale brown loam about 4 inches think. The subsurface <br />soil is pale brown sandy loam about 4 irahea thick. The substratum is <br />very pale brown calcareous loam about 8 inches thick and is underlain with <br />slightly fractured caloareous loamstone at a depth of 16 irahee. <br />The Redoreek soil has moderate permeability and medium runoff. The <br />erosion hazard is moderate to high Prom wind. Available waterholding <br />capacity is moderate. Effective rooting depth is 10 to 20 inches. <br />C~ <br />II.I-25 <br /> <br />
