<br />3, The limestone material has never been analyzed. This <br />will rive an idea of iahat type of nII, texture and structure, <br />as well as quantities of organic matter (no manure was applied <br />in this area), n,xtrients, salts, and lime exists. <br />Soils of the upper Gold Hill highwall where the experimental <br />test plots are located characterize the gypsum beds (GB) <br />bordering a Rentsac very channery loam (RS), both on 7_0 to 100 <br />percent slopes. These are very general classifications made <br />by SCS personel but importantly indicate the actual depth of <br />the soil horizons (or regolith) to bedrock. Also indicated is <br />texture, drainage capabilities, permeability, steepness of slopes, <br />profile, and moisture holding capacity, <br />Soils analysis from 1973 (11~H) indicate a sandy loam <br />texture with very little organic matter or major nutrient reserves, <br />Again, crusting appears to be a problem on gyps~un areas and soil <br />samples i~rere taken in July of 1978 to determine the SAR, <br /> <br />
