This report gives estimates of various soil. water features. The estimates are used in tand use planning that invotves
engi neering considerat i ons.
Hydrotogic soiI groups are used to estimate runoff from precipitation. Soits not protected by vegetation are
assigned to one of four groups. They are grouped according to the infittration of Hater when the soiLs are thoroughty
r.let and receive precipitation from tong-duration storms. The four hydrotogic soiI groups are:
Group " 1". Soits having a high infittration rate (tot{
runoff potentiat) rhen thoroughty ret. These consist mainty
of deep, wel,t drained to excessivety drained sands or
gravetty sands. These soits have a high rate of xster
transmi ss i on.
Group "8". Soits having a moderate infittration rate uhen
thoroughty wet. These consist chiefty of moderatety deep or
deep, moderatel.y wetI drained or wetI drained soits that
have moderatety fine texture to moderatety coarse texture.
These soits have a moderate rate of Hater transmission.
Group ,,c/. Soits having a stow infil'tration rate uhen
thoroughty uet. These consist chiefl'y of soits having a
l,ayer that impedes the downward movement of Hater or soits
of moderatety fine texture or fine texture. These soits
have a stox rate of water transmission.
croup /D/', Soits having a very stow infittration rate (high
runoff Potentiat) when thoroughty wet. Ihese consist
chiefty of ctays that have a high shrink-snetI potentiat,
soits that have a Permanent high water tabte, soits that
have a ctaypan or ctay tayer at or near the surface, and
soits that are shattow over nearty impervious materiat.
. These soits have a very stow rate of water transmission.
If a soit is assigned to two hydrotogic groups in this report, the first tetter is for drained areas and the second
is for undrained areas. Ftooding, the temporary inundation of an area, is caused by overftowing streams, by runoff from
adjacent stopes, or by tides. Water standing for short periods after rainfatI or snowmett is not considered
ftooding, nor is water in swamps and marshes. This report gives the frequency and duration of ftooding and
the time of year when ftooding i$ most tikel,y. Frequency, duration, and probabte dates of occurrence are estimated.
Frequency is expressed as rrNonerr, rtRale,,t,,occasionat", and /'Frequent". "None" means that fl,ooding is not probabte;
,/Rarez that it is untikety but possibl,e under unusuat ueather conditions; //0ccasionat" that it occurs, on the
average, once or tess in 2 years; and //Frequent" that it occurs, on the average, more than once in 2 years'
Duration is expressed as /,Very briefz if less than 2 days, 'tBrietil if 2 to 7 days, ilLangtt if 7 to 30 days, and "Very

tn areas that have simitar cLimate and topography, differences in the kind and amount of vegetation produced on
rangetand are ctosety retated to the kind of soit. Effective management is based on the retationship between
the soits and vegetation and xater. This report shows, for each soit, the range site; the totat annuat
production of vegetation in favorabte, normat, and unfavorabl,e years; the characteristic vegetation; and the
average percentage of each species. onLy those soil,s that are used as rangetand or are suited to use as
rangetand are tisted. An exptanation of the cotumn headings in this report fottows.
RANGE SITE is a distinctive kind of rangetand that produces a characteristic natural ptant cofirunity that
differs from natural ptant cormunities on other range sites in kind, amount and proportion of range p[ants.
,he retationship betweeen soits and vegetation was ascertained during this survey; thus, range sites generatIy
can be determined directty from the soit map, Soil, properties that affect moisture suppIy and ptant nutrients
have the greatest inftuence on the productivity of range ptants, Soit reaction, satt content, and a seasonaI
high uater table are atso inportant.
TOTAL PRO0UCTIoN is the amount of vegetation that can be expected to groH annuat[y on relI managed rangeland
that is supporting the potentiaI naturaI ptant conmunity. It inctudei atl' vegetation, whether or not it is
patatabte to grazing animats, It inctudes the current year's growth of teaves, twigs, and fruits of woody
pl,ants. It does not inctude the increase in stem diameter of trees and shrubs'
It is expressed in pounds per acre of air-dry vegetation for favorabte. normat, and unfavorabte years. In a
favorabte year, the amount and distribution of precipitation and the temperatures make growing conditions
substantiau.y better than average. tn a normal year, growing conditions are about average. In an unfavorabte
year, growing conditions are wett betou average, generatty because of Iow avaitabte soiI moisture. Dry weight
is the totat annuat yietd per acre of air-dry vegetation, Yietds are adjusted to a cormon percent of air'dry
moisture content. The retationship of green weight to air-dry weight varies according to such factors as
exposure, amount of shade, recent rains, and unseasonable dry periods'
CHARACTERISTIC VEGETATION The grasses, forbs, and shrubs that make up most of the potentiaI naturat ptant
cormunity on each soit is tisted by comnon name.
under coMpoSITION the expected percentage of the totat annual production is given for each species making up
the characteristic vegetation. The amount that can be used as forage depends on the kinds of grazing animats
and on the grazing season.
Range,management requires a knowtedge of the kinds of soiL and of the potential natural ptant cormunity. It
atso requires an evatuation of the present range condition. Range condition is determined by comparing the
present ptant conmunity r{ith the potentiaI naturat ptant cormunity on a particutar range site. The more
ctosety the existing cormunity resembtes the potentiaI corrnunity, the better the range condition. Range
condition is an ecologicat rating onty. The objective in range management is to control grazing so that the
ptants growing on a site are about the same in kind and amount as the potentiat naturat ptant cormunity for
that site. Such management generatty results in the optimum production of vegetation, controI of undesirabte
brush species, conservation of water, and controt of erosion. Sometimes, however, a lange condition somewhat
betow the potentiat meets grazing needs, provides witdtife habitat, and Protects soiI and ]iater resources'

CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF THE SOILS
Erdnote . - CHEI.I I CAL PROPERT I ES OF THE SOI LS
This report shoxs estimates of some characteristics and features that affect soiL behavior.
These estimqtes are given for the major tayers of each soiI in the survey area. The estimates
are based on fietd observations and on test data for these and simitar soits.
CLAY as a soiI separate consists of mineral soiI partictes that are less than 0.002
mittimeter in diameter. In this report, the estimated ctay content of each major soit tayer
is given as a percentage, by weight, of the soiI materiaI that is less than 2 mittimeters in
diameter. Ihe amount and kind of ctay greatty affect the fertiLity and physical. condition of
the soit. They determine the abitity of the soiI to adsorb cations and to retain moisture.
They inftuence shrink-swetI potentiat, permeabitity, and pIasticity, the ease of soil.
dispension, and other soiI properties. The amount and kind of clay in a soiI atso affect
ti t tage and earthmoving operations.
CATIOII EXCHANGE CAPACITY (CEC) is the total amount of cations hel,d in a soiI in such
a Hay that they can be removed onty by exchanging Hith another cation in the naturat soit
sotution. CEC is a measure of the abiLity of a soiI to retain cations, some of which are
ptant nutrients. Soits with Low CEC hotd few cations and may require more frequent
apptications of fertitizers than soits with high CEc. Soits rlith hish cEC have the potentiaI
to retain cations, thus reducing the possibitity of pottution of ground water,
S0lL REACTION is a measure of acidity or atkatinity and is expressed as a range in pH
vatues. The range in pH of each major horizon is based on many fietd tests, For many soits,
values have been verified by Iaboratory anatyses. Soit reaction is important in setecting
crops and other ptants, in evatuating soiI amendments for fertitity and stabitization, and
in determining the risk of corrosion.
CALCIUM CARBONATE is the percentage by weight of catcium carbonate in the fine-earth
materiat, tess than 2 mittimeters in size.
GYPSUI,I is the percentage by weight of hydrated catcium sutfates 20 mil,l.imeters or
smatter in size, in the soit.
SALINITY is a measure of solubte satts in the soiI at saturation. It is expressed
as the etectricaI conductivity of the saturation extract, in miLl.imhos per centimeter
at 25 degrees C. Estimates are based on fietd and taboratory measurements at representative
sites of nonir'rrigated soi Is,
The satinity of irrigated soits is affected by the quatity of the inrigation Hater
and by the frequency of Hater apptication. Hence, the satinity of soits in individuaI fietds
can differ greatty from the vatue given in the report. Sal,inity affects the suitabil.ity of
a soiI for crop production, the stabil.ity of soiI if used as construction materia[, and
the potential of the soit to corrode metal and concrete.
SODIUM ADS0RPTION RATI0 (SAR) expresses the retative activity of sodiun ions in
exchange reactions in the soit. SAR is a measure of the amount of sodium retative to
catciun and magnesium in the water extract from saturated soiI paste.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF SOILS
Endnote.- PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF SOILS
This report shous estimates of some characteristics and features that affect soil behavior. These estimates
are given for the major layers of each soit in the survey area. The estimates are based on fietd observations
and on test data for these and simitar soits.
cLAy as a soil separate consists of mineral soit partictes that are [ess than 0.002 mittimeter in diameter'
In this report, the estimated c1ay content of each major soil, tayer is given as a percentage, by weight, of the
soiI materiaL that is Iess than 2 mittimeters in diameter. The amount and kind of ctay greatty affect the
fertitity and physicat condition of the soit. They determine the abil,ity of the soiI to adsorb cations and
to retain moisture. They inftuence shrink-st.lett potentiat, permeabil.ity, ptasticity, the ease of soiI
dispersion, and other soit properties. The amount and kind of ctay in a soiI atso affect tittage and
earthtnoving oPerat i ons.
i.lolsl BULK DENSITY is the reight of soit (ovendry) per unit votune. Votune is measured when the soit is
at fietd moisture capacity, the moisture content at 1/3 bar moisture tension. Ueight is determined after
drying the soit at 105 degrees C. In this report, the estimated moist butk density of each major soiI
horizon is expressed in grams per cubic centimeter of soit materiat that is less than 2 mittimeters in
diameter. Butk density data are used to compute shrink-swett potentiaL, avaitabte water capacity, totat
pore space, and other soil. properties. The moist bul.k density of a soit indicates the pore space avaitabte for
Hater and roots. A butk density of more than 1.6 can restrict Hater stonage and root penetration' I'loist
butk density is inftuenced by texture, kind of ctay, content of organic matter, and soiI structure'
PERIIEABILITY refers to the abiLity of a soiI to transmit uater or air. The estimates indicate the
rate of downward movement of water when the soit is saturated. They are based on soiI characteristics
observed in the fietd, particuiarty structure, porosity, and texture. Permeabitity is considered in
the design of soit drainage systems, septic tank absorption fietds, and construction where the rate of
Hater movement under saturated conditions affects behavior'
AVAILABLE TJATER CAPACITy refers to the quantity of water that the soil' is capabte of storing for use by
ptants. The capacity for uater stonage is given in inches of water per inch of soit for each major soi[ [ayer'
The capacity varies, depending on soiI properties that affect the retention of water and the depth of the root
zone. The most important properties are the content of organic matter, soiI texture, butk density, and soiI
struct.ure. Avaitabte llater capacity is an important factor in the choice of plants or crops to be groHn and in
the design and management of irrigation systems. Avaitabte water capacity is not an estimate of the quantity of
water actuatty avaitabl,e to ptants at any given time'
SHRINK-SWELL POTENTIAL is the potentiat for votune change in a soit with a loss or gain of moisture' Vo(une
change occurs mainty because of the intenaction of cl.ay minerats t{ith water and varies Hith the amount and type
of ctay minerats in the soit. The size of the toad on the soit and the magnitude of the change in soiI moisture
content inftuence the amount of sweu.ing of soits in ptace, Laboratory measurements of swetting of undisturbed
ctods were made for many soits. For others, swetting Has estimated on the basis of the kind and amount of
ctay minerals in the soiI and on measurements of simitar soits. lf the shrink-swetI potentiat is rated moderate
to very high, shrinking and swetting can cause damage to buitdings, roads, and other structures' SpeciaI design
is often needed. Shrink-swett potential. ctasses are based on the change in l,ength of an unconfined ctod as
moisture content is increased from air-dry to fietd capacity. The change is based on the soiI fraction Iess
than 2 mil,l.imeters in diameter. The ctasses ate tLoH,'t a change of less than 3 percent; /Moderate," 3 to 6
percent; and /High,r, more than 6 percent . ttverY high,// greater than 9 percent, is sometimes used'

ORGANIC IIATTER is the ptant and animal residue in the soiI at various stages of deconposition. In report J,
the estimated content of organic matter is expressed as a percentage, by weight, of the soiI material that is
Iess than 2 mittimeters in diameter. The content of organic matter in a soiI can be maintained or incceased by
returning crop residue to the soit. Organic matter affects the avaitabte water capacity, infil.tration rate, andtitth. lt is a source of nitrogen and other nutrients for crops,
EROSION FACTOR K indicates the susceptibil,ity of the whote soit (inctuding rocks and rock fragments) to
sheet and ritI erosion by water. Factor K is one of six factors used in the Universat SoiL Loss Equation (USLE)
to predict the average annual rate of soiI toss by sheet and ritI erosion in tons per acre per year. The
estimates are based primarity on percentage of sitt, sand, and organic matter (up to 4 percent) and on soiI
structure and permeabitity. Vatues of K range from 0.05 to 0.69. The higher the va[ue, the more susceptibte
the soit is to sheet and rit[ erosion by water.
ERoslON FACTOR Kf is tike EROSION FACTOR K but it is for the fine-earth fraction of the soil,
rock fragments are not considered.
Rocks and
EROS!0N FACTOR T is an estimate of the maximum average annual rate of soil. erosion by wind or Hater that can
occur without affecting crop productivity over a sustained period. The rate is in tons per acre per year.
LIIND ER00IBILITY GROUPS are made up of soil.s that have simitar properties affecting their resistance to Hind
erosion in cuttivated aneas. The groups indicate the susceptibitity of soit to wind erosion. Soits ar-e grouped
according to the fottowing distinctions:
1. Coarse sands, sands, fine sands, and very fine sands.
These soits are generatty not suitabte for crops. They are
extremety erodibte, and vegetation is difficul.t to
estabI i sh.
2. Loamy coarse sands, loamy sands, toamy fine sands, loarry
very fine sands, and sapric soiI materiat. These soits are
very highty erodibte. crops can be grown if intensive
measures to controt wind erosion are used.
3. Coarse sandy loams, sandy loams, fine sandy toams, and
very fine sandy loams. These soits are highty erodible.
Crops can be grown if intensive measures to controI xind
erosion are used.
4L. Catcareous toams, sitt toams, ctay toams, and sil,ty cl.ay
loams. These soits are erodibte. Crops can be grown if
intensive measures to controt wind erosion are used.
4. Ctays, siIty ctays, noncatcareous ctay Ioams, and silty
ctay toams that are more than 35 percent ctay. These soits
are moderatety erodibte. Crops can be grown if measures to

SOIL FEATURES
ENdNOIE -. SOIL FEATURES
This report gives estimates of various soiI features. The estimates are used in land use ptanning that invotves
engineering considerations.
Depth to bedrock is given if bedrock is within a depth of 5 feet, The depth is based on many soiI borings and on
observations during soit mapping. The rock is either /Soft/'or "Hatd", If the rock is'/Soft'/ or fractured, excavations
can be made with trenching machines, backhoes, or smatI rippers. If the rock is "Hard// or massive, bIasting or
speciaI equipnent generatty is needed for excavation.
Cemented pans are cemented or indurated subsurface tayers within a depth of 5 feet. Such pans cause difficutty in
excavation. Pans are ctassified as "Thin/' or '/Thick'/, A '/Thin" pan is less than 3 inches thick if continuousty
indurated or lcss than 18 inches thick if discontinuous or fractured. Excavations can be made by trenching machines,
backhoes, or smatt rippers. A rrThick/ pan is more than 3 inches thick if continuousty indurated or more than 18
inches thick if discontinuous or fractured. Such a pan is so thick or massive that blasting or speciat equipnent. is
needed in excavation.
Subsidence is the setttement of organic soits or of saturated minerat soits of very [ot{ density' Subsidence
resutts from either desiccation and shrinkage or oxidation of organic materiat, or both, fottowing drainage.
Subsidence takes ptace graduatty, usuatty over a period of severa[ years. This report shows the expected initiat
subsidence, which usuatl.y is a resutt of drainage, and totaI subsidence, which usuatty is a resutt of oxidation. Not
shown in the report is subsidence caused by an imposed surface load or by the withdrawal of ground water throughout
an extensive area as a resutt of lowering the Hater tabte.
potentiat frost action is the tiketihood of upward or tateral expansion of the soit caused by the formation of
segregated ice Ienses (frost heave) and the subsequent coltapse of the soiI and loss of strength on thar'ling. Frost
action occurs uhen moisture moves into the freezing zone of the soil,. TemPerature, texture, density, permeabitity,
content of organic matter, and depth to the Hater tabte are the most imPortant factors considered in evatuating the
potentiat fon frost action. It is assumed that the soil, is not insutated by vegetation or snow and is not artificiatty
drained. Sil.ty and highty structured ctayey soits that have a high water tabte in winter are the most susceptibl'e to
frost action. tJett drained, very gravetty, or very sandy soits are the Ieast susceptibte. Frost heave and Iox soiI
strength during thawing cause damage mainty to pavements and other rigid structures.
Risk.of corrosion pertains to potentiaI soil.-induced etectrochemicaI or chemicaI action that dissotves or weakens
uncoated steet or concrete. The rate of corrosion of uncoated steet is retated to such factors as soiI moisture,
particte-size distribution, acidity, and etectricat conductivity of the soit. The rate of corrosion of concnete
is based mainty on the sutfate and sodium content, texture, moisture content, and acidity of the soit. Speciat
site examination and design may be needed if the combination of factors creates a severe corrosion environrnent. The steel
instattations that intersect soit boundaries or soiI tayers is more susceptibte to corrosion than steet in
instattations that are entirel,y Hithin one kind of soil, or Hithin one soiI tayer. For uncoated steeL, the risk of
corrosion, expressed as rrLovtr, /rModerate,,, or,/High/', is based on soiI drainage ctass, totaI acidity, etectricaI
resistivity near fietd capacity, and etectricaI conductivity of the saturation extract.
For concrete, the risk of corrosion is atso expressed as /'Low'/, "liloderate", or "High". It is based on soiI texture,
acidity, and amount of sutfates in the saturation extract.

difficutt to overcome that speciat design, significant increases in construction costs, and possibty increased
maintenance are required. Speciat feasibil.ity studies may be required where the soi[ [imitations are severe'
5HALLSU ExcAvATIoNS are trenches or hotes dug to a maximun depth of 5 or 6 feet for basements, graves, utitity tines,
open ditches, and other purposes. The ratings are based on soiI properties, site features, and observed performance of
the soits. The ease of digging, fil.ting, and compacting is affected by the depth to bedrock, a cemented Pan, or a very
firm dense layer; stone content; soiI texture; and stope. The time of the year that excavations can be made is
affected by the depth to a seasonal high water tabte and the susceptibitity of the soit to ftooding. The resistance of
the excavation watts or bands to stoughing or caving is affected by soil. texture and the depth to the Hater tabte.
DTJELLINGS AND Sli,tALL Co,IMERCIAL BUTLDINGS are structures buil,t on shaILow foundations on undisturbed soi[. The Ioad
timit is the same as that for singl.e-famil,y dweLtings no higher than three stories, Ratings are made for smatt
cormerciat buitdings Hithout basements, for dwettings with basements, and for dwetl'ings Hithout basements. The ratings
are based on soit properties, site features, and observed performance of the soits. A high water tabte, depth to bedrock
or to a cemented pan, targe stones, slope, and ftooding affect the ease of excavation and construction. Landscaping
and grading that require cuts and fitts of more than 5 or 6 feet are not considered.
LOCAL ROADS AND STREETS have an au.-Heather surface and csrry automobite and light truck traffic att year. They
have a subgrade of cut or fitt soiI materiat, a base of gravet, crushed rock, or stabitized soiI materiat, and a
ftexibte or rigid surface. Cuts and fitts are generatty properties, site features, and observed performance of the
soits. Depth to bedrock or to a cemented pan, a high water tabte, fl,ooding, targe stones, and stope affect the ease of
excavating and grading. soiI strength (as inferred from the engineering cl.assification of the soit), shrink-sNett
potentiat, frost action potentiat, and depth to a high water tabte affect the traffic-supporting capacity.
LAtrNs AND LANDSCAPING require soits on which turf and ornamentaI trees and shrubs can be estabtished and
mainta.ined. The ratings are based on soil properties, site features, and observed performance of the soits. Soil'
reaction, a high uater tabte, depth to bedrock or to a cemented pan, the avaitabte Hater caPacity in the upper 40
inches, and the content of satts, sodium, and sul.fidic materials affect ptant growth. Ftooding, wetness, stope,
stoniness, and the amount of sand, ctay, or organic matter in the surface Iayer affect trafficabitity after vegetation
is estabtished.

cemented pan, a high Hater table, stope, and ftooding affect both types of tandfitt. Texture, stones and boutders,
highty organic tayers, soiI reaction, and content of satts and sodiun affect trench type landfitl,s. Untess otherwise
stated, the ratings appty onty to that part of the soit within a depth of about 6 feet. For deeper trenches, a
timitation rate "stight" or "Moderate" may not be vatid. onsite investigation is needed.
DAILY COVER FOR LANDFILL is the soiI material that is used to cover compacted solid Haste in an area type sanitary
tandfitt. The soiI materiaI is obtained offsite, transported to the Iandfitt, and spread over the raste.
SoiI texture, wetness, coarse fragments, and slope affect the ease of removing and spreading the materiaI during xet
and dry periods. Loamy or sitty soits that are free of large stones or excess gravet are the best cover for a
tandfitt. Ctayey soits may be sticky or cloddy and are difficuLt to spread; sandy soits are subject to soit
btowing. After soiI material has been removed, the soiI material remaining in the borror area must be thick enough
over bedrock, a cemented pan, or the Hater tabte to permit revegetation. The soiI material used as final cover for a
tafifitt shoutd be suitabte for plants. The surface tayer generatty has the best workabitity, more organic matter than
the rest of the profite, and the best potential for ptants. lilaterial from the surface layer shoutd be stockPited for use

This report gives information about the soits as a source of roadfitt, sand, gravet, and topsoit. The soits are rated
ilGoodil, rtFailn, ol lPooltt as a source of roadfit[ and topsoit. They are rated as a "Pt'obabte" or "lnprobabte"
source of sand and gravet. The ratings are based on soiI properties and site features that affect the removat of the
soit and its use as construction materiat. NormaI compaction, minor processing, and other standard construction
practices are assurned. Each soiI is evatuated to a depth of 5 or 6 feet.
RoadfitL is soiI material that is excavated in one ptace and used in road enbankments in another ptace, In this neport,
the soits are rated as a source of roadfitt for tow embankments, generatty tess than 5 feet high and tess
exacting in design than higher embankments. The ratings are for the soiI materiat betor the surface layer to a
depth of 5 or 6 feet. It is assumed that soi[ layers uitl. be mixed during excavating and spreading. I'lany soits have
Layers of contrasting suitabiIity within their profite. Ihe report entitted Engineering lndex Properties is atso avaitabte
and it provides detaited information about each soi[ layer. This information can hetp determine the suitabitity of each
Layer for use as roadfitt. The performance of soit after it is stabitized with Iime or cement is not considered in
the ratings.
The ratings are based on soiI properties, site features, and observed performance of the soits. The thickness of
suitabte materiat is a major consideration, The ease of excavation is affected by large stones, a high uater tabte,
and stope. How wett the soiI performs in ptace after it has been compacted and drained is determined by its strength (as
inferred from the engineering ctassification of the soi[) and shnink-sweIt potentiat,
SoiLs rated,tiood,, contain significant amounts of sand or gravel or both. They have at least 5 feet of suitable
materiat, a tow shrink-swett potentiat, few cobbtes and stones, and stopes of 15 percent or Iess. Depth to the
xater tabte is more than 3 feet
Soits rated t,Fair,, have more than 35 percent sitt'and ctay-sized partictes and have a ptasticity of less than 10.
They have a moderate shrink-swett potentiat, stopes of 15 to 25 percent, or many stones. Depth to the Hater table is 1
to 3 feet.
Soits rated trpoort have a ptasticity index of more than 10, a high shrink'swetI potentiat, many stones, or stopes of
more than 25 percent. They are wet, and the depth to the water tabte is less than 1 foot. These soits may have
Iayers of suitabte materia[, but the materiat is Iess than 3 feet thick.
Sand and gravel are natural aggregates suitabl,e for cormerciaL use with a minimtrn of processing. Sand and
gravel are used in many kinds of construction. Specifications for each use vary widety. ln this report onty
the probabitity of finding materiaI in suitabte quantity is evatuated. The suitabitity of the materiaI for specific
purposes is not evatuated, nor are factors that affect excavation of the material,. The properties used to evaluate
the soiI as a sounce of sand or gravel are gradation of grain sizes (as indicated by the engineering c[assification
of the soit), the thickness of suitabl,e materiat, and the content of rock fragments. Kinds of rock, acidity, and
stratification are given in the soit series descriptions. Gradation of grain sizes is given in the Engineering Index
Properties report.
A soiL rated as a /rProbabte/ source has a layer of ctean sand and gravel or a tayer of sand or gravel that contains
up to 12 percent sil.ty fines. This materia[ must be at least 3 feet thick and Iess than 50 percent, by weight, large
stones. Att other soits are rated as an,,Improbabte/ source. Coarse fragments of soft bedrock, such as shate and
sittstone, are not considered to be sand and gravet.

TopsoiI is used to cover an area so that vegetation can be estabtished and maintained. Ihe upper 40 inches of a soil,
is evatuated for use as topsoil. Atso evatuated is the rectamation potential of the borroH area. Ptant groHth is
affected by toxic materiaI and by such properties as soil reaction, avaitabte nater capacity, and fertil,ity. The ease
of excavating, Ioading, and spreading is affected by rock fragments, stope, a Hater tabte, soiI texture, and thickness
of suitabte materiat, Rectamation of the borrou area is affected by stope, a water tabte, rock fragments, bedrock,
and toxic materiat.
Soits rate ilGoodil have friabte loamy material to a depth of at least 40 inches. They are free of stones and cobbtes,
have tittte or no gravet, and have stopes of tess than 8 percent. They are lor in content of sol,ubte salts, are
naturatLy fertite or respond wett to fertitizer, and are not so t{et that excavation is difficul.t.
Soits rated ilFair" are sandy soits, loamy soits that have a retativel,y high content of ctay, soiLs that have onty 20
to 40 inches of suitabte materiat, soils that have an appreciabte amount of gravet, stones, or sotuble satts, or
soits that have stopes of 8 to 15 percent. The soi[s are not so Het that excavation is difficutt.
Soits rate'Poor/ are very sandy or ctayey, have less than 20 inches of suitabte materiat, have a large amount of
gravet, stones, or sotubte satts, have stopes of more than 15 percent, or have a seasonal Hater tabte at or near the
surface. The surface layer of most soits is generatty preferred for topsoiI because of it organic matter content.
0rganic matter greatty increases the absorption and retention of moisture and nutrients for ptant growth.
