or more thick that has its upper boundary within 100 cm of the mineral soil surface; or

b.  In 60 percent or more of the volume of a layer 15 cm or more thick; and

2.  Redoximorphic features in one or more horizons within

75 cm of the mineral soil surface and also aquic conditions for some time in normal years (or artificial drainage).
