    Ap—0 to 23 centimeters (0.0 to 9.1 inches); dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/4), light yellowish brown (10YR 6/4), dry; silt loam; massive parts to weak medium granular; friable; many (12.0) medium roots throughout and many (10.0) fine roots throughout; 5 percent by volume subangular 2-76-150 millimeter sandstone-siltstone fragments; strongly acid, pH 5.4, pH indicator solutions; clear wavy boundary. 30% of top 4 inches has 1m gr structure.
    C1—23 to 36 centimeters (9.1 to 14.2 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) loam; 20 percent clay; 20 percent grayish brown (10YR 5/2) medium distinct irregular and 20 percent yellowish brown (10YR 5/6) medium distinct irregular mottles; massive; firm; common (3.2) medium roots throughout and few (0.5) fine roots throughout; 12 percent by volume subangular 2-76-150 millimeter sandstone-siltstone fragments; very strongly acid, pH 4.6, pH indicator solutions; gradual wavy boundary. Color mixing does not refllllect wetness at this site.
    C2—36 to 58 centimeters (14.2 to 22.8 inches); yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) loam; 23 percent clay; 20 percent grayish brown (10YR 5/2) medium distinct irregular and 20 percent yellowish brown (10YR 5/6) medium distinct irregular mottles; massive; firm; 10 percent by volume subangular 2-76-150 millimeter sandstone-siltstone fragments; very strongly acid, pH 4.6, pH indicator solutions; abrupt wavy boundary. Color pattern likely dur to mixing of replaced soil rather than to wetness.
    2C1—58 to 81 centimeters (22.8 to 31.9 inches); variegated 80 percent dark gray (10YR 4/1) and 15 percent dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/4) and 5 percent yellowish brown (10YR 5/6) very channery silty clay loam; weak coarse platy structure; very firm; 5 percent fine platy extremely weakly coherent cemented dusky red (2.5YR 3/2) iron-manganese masses between peds; 5 percent by volume subangular 2-76-150 millimeter sandstone, unspecified fragments and 35 percent by volume subangular 2-76-150 millimeter shale, noncalcareous fragments; extremely acid, pH 4.4, pH indicator solutions; gradual wavy boundary. Very dense and compact.
    2C2—81 to 122 centimeters (31.9 to 48.0 inches); variegated 85 percent dark gray (10YR 4/1) and 15 percent yellowish brown (10YR 5/6) very channery silty clay loam; massive; very firm; 5 percent by volume subangular 2-76-150 millimeter sandstone, unspecified fragments and 40 percent by volume subangular 2-76-150 millimeter shale, noncalcareous fragments; very strongly acid, pH 4.8, pH indicator solutions; gradual wavy boundary. Also contains 5% coal fragments.
    2C3—122 to 203 centimeters (48.0 to 79.9 inches); dark yellowish brown (10YR 4/4) very channery clay loam; massive; firm; 45 percent by volume subangular 2-76-150 millimeter shale, noncalcareous fragments; very strongly acid, pH 4.8, pH indicator solutions.
