EXEMPTION
APPLICABILITY
The Board of County Commissioners has the discretionary power to exempt a division of
land from the definition of subdivision and thereby from the procedure in these Regulations.
provided the Board determines that such exemption will not impair or defeat the stated
purpose of the Subdivision Regulations nor be detrimental to the general public welfare. The
Board shall make exemption decisions in accordance with the requirements of these
regulations. Following a review of the individual facts of each application in light of the
requirements of these Regulations, the Board may approve, conditionally approve or deny
an exemption. An application for exemption must satisfy, at a minimum, all of the review
criteria listed below. Compliance with the review criteria, however, does not ensure
exemption. The Board also may consider additional factors listed in Section 8:60 of the

exemption with regard to the four (4) lot, parcel, interest or dwelling unit limitation

greater in size, created after January 1, 1973 will count as parcels of land created by

Reference: Subdivision exemption
Mrs. Jewell,
The Rifle Fire Protection District has reviewed the
proposed subdivision exemption of the property located at
0284 County Road 259 A. It is the District's understanding
that this division will create one additional portion of
property to be used for the construction of a single
family dwelling.
The stated property is within the boundaries of the
Rifle Fire Protection District and Fire and Emergency
Medical Services will be provided to the property. In
order to assist the District in it's capabilities of
providing these services, we would make the following
recommendations;
1. Defensible space: Vegetation should be removed from any
future structures on the property in order to provide a
safety zone in the event of a wildfire.
2. Construction materials: The District recommends the use
of a classified roof covering and non-combustible siding
materials to minimize threats from a wildland fire.
3. Road construction: When constructing the access roadway
into the property, consideration should be given to the
weights of fire apparatus and accessibility during adverse
weather conditions.
4. Posting of address: The address of the property is to
be posted where the driveway accesses the County Road.
Letters are to be a minimum of 4 inches in height, 1/2
inch in width and contrast with background colors.
5. Water supply: The District would recommend that you
work with neighbors in establishing a water supply.
As the time draws closer for construction, the
District would be happy to set down and discuss these
recommendations in greater detail. Thank you for your
cooperation and feel free to contact me if I can be of
further assistance.
Sincerely,
Mike Morgan

WEST DIVIDE WATER CONSERVANCY DISTRICT
WATER ALLOTMENT CONTRACT/LEASE
glAmEs .1.) ° 5H -t 'i K TFccf-
Quantity of Water in Acre Feet:
Applicant, hereby applies to the West Divide Water Conservancy District, a political subdivision of the State
of Colorado, organized pursuant to and existing by virtue of C.R.S. 1973, 537-45-101 et sea, (hereinafter referred to as
the "District") for an allotment contract/lease to beneficially and perpetually use water or water rights owned, leased, or
hereafter acquired by the District. By execution of this contract/lease and the attached application, Applicant hereby agrees
to the following terms and conditions:
1. Water Rights: Applicant shall own water rights at the point of diversion herein lawfully entitling
Applicant to divert water, which will be supplemented and augmented by water leased herein. If Applicant intends to divert
through a well, it must be understood by Applicant that no right to divert exists until a valid well permit is obtained from
the Colorado Division of Water Resources.
2. Quantity: Water applied for by the Applicant in the amount set forth above shall be diverted at
Applicant's point of diversion from the District's direct flow water rights, and when water is unavailable for diversion
pursuant to administration by the Colorado State Engineer during periods when said direct flow water right is not in priority,
the District shall release for the use of Applicant up to said quantity in acre feet per year of storage water owned or
controlled by the District. It is understood that any quantity allotted from direct flow, storage or otherwise, to the
Applicant by the District will be limited by the priority of the District's decrees and by the physical and legal availability
of water from District's sources. Any quantity allotted will only be provided so long as water is available and the Applicant
fully complies with all of the terms and conditions of this contract/lease. The District and the Applicant recognize that
some of the District's decrees may be in the name of the Colorado River Water Conservation District, and the ability of the
District to allot direct flow right to the Applicant may be dependent on the consent of the Colorado River Water Conservation
District. If at any time the Applicant determines it requires less water than the amount herein provided, Applicant may so
notify the District in writing, and the amount of water allotted under this contract/lease shall be reduced permanently in
accordance with such notice. Rates shall be adjusted accordingly in following water years only.
3. )3eneficial Use and Location of Beneficial Use: Any and all water allotted Applicant by the District
shall be used for the following beneficial use or uses: municipal, domestic and related uses, or commercial (except to the
extent that Ruedi Reservoir water may not be available for commercial as that term is defined on Page 5 of Contract No. 2-07-
70-W0547 between the United States and the West Divide Water Conservancy District). Applicant's beneficial use of any and
all water allotted shall be within or through facilities or upon land owned, leased, operated, or under Applicant's control.
4. Decrees and Delivery: Exchange releases made by the District out of storage from Ruedi Reservoir
and Green Mountain Reservoir, or other works or facilities of the District, or from other sources available to the District,
shall be delivered to the Applicant at the outlet works of said storage facilities or at the decreed point of diversion for
1
said other sources, and release or delivery of water at such outlet or points shall constitute performance of the District's
total obligation. Delivery of water by the District from Ruedi Reservoir or Green Mountain Reservoir shall be subject to
the District's lease contracts with the United States Bureau of Reclamation. Releases from other facilities available to
District shall be subject to the contracts, laws, rules, and regulations governing releases therefrom. Furthermore, the
District hereby expressly reserves the right to store water and to make exchange releases from structures that may be built
or controlled by the District in the future, so long as the water service to the Applicant pursuant to this agreement, is
not impaired by said action. Any quantity of the Applicant's allocation not delivered to or used by Applicant by the end
of each water year (October 1), shall revert to the water supplies of the District. Such reversion shall not entitle
Applicant to any refund of payment made for such water.
Water service provided by the District shall be limited to the amount of water available in priority at the
original point of diversion of the District's applicable water right, and neither the District, nor those entitled to utilize
the District's decrees, may call on any greater amount at new or alternate points of diversion. The District shall request
the Colorado Division of Water Resources to estimate any conveyance losses between the original point and any alternate point,
and such estimate shall be deducted from this amount in each case.
5. Alternate Point of Diversion and Plan of Augmentation: Decrees for alternate points of diversion
of the District's water rights or storage water may be required in order for Applicant to use the water service contemplated
hereunder. Obtaining such decree is the exclusive responsibility of Applicant. The District reserves the right to review
and approve any conditions which may be attached to judicial approval of said alternate point of diversion as contemplated
or necessary to serve Applicant's facilities or lands. Applicant acknowledges and agrees that it shall be solely responsible
for the procedures and legal engineering costs necessary for any changes in water rights contemplated herein, and further
agrees to indemnify the District from any costs or losses related thereto. Applicant is solely responsible for providing
works and facilities necessary to obtain/divert the waters at said alternate point of diversion and deliver them to
Applicant's intended beneficial use. Irrespective of the amount of water actually transferred to the Applicant's point of
diversion, the Applicant shall make annual payments to the District based upon the amount of water allotted under this
contract/lease.
In the event the Applicant intends to apply for an alternate point of diversion and to develop an
augmentation plan and institute legal proceedings for the approval of such augmentation plan to allow the Applicant to utilize
the water allotted to Applicant hereunder, the Applicant shall give the District written notice of such intent. In the event
the Applicant develops and adjudicates its own augmentation plan to utilize the water allotted hereunder, Applicant shall
not be obligated to pay any amount under Paragraph 18 below. In any event, the District shall have the right to approve or
disapprove the Applicant's augmentation plan and the Applicant shall provide the District copies of such plan and of all
pleadings and other papers filed with the water court in the adjudication thereof.
6. Contract/lease Payment: Non-refundable, one time administrative charge, in the amount determined
by the Board of Directors of the District from time to time, shall be submitted with the application for consideration by
the District.
Annual payment for the water service described herein shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the
District. The initial annual payment shall be made in full, within thirty (30) days after the date of notice to the Applicant
that the initial payment is due. Said notice will advise the Applicant, among other things, of the water delivery year to
which the initial payment shall apply and the price which is applicable to that year.
Annual payments for each year thereafter shall be due and payable by the Applicant on or before each
January 1. If an annual payment is not made by the due date a flat $50 late fee will be assessed. Final written notice prior
to cancellation will be sent certified mail, return receipt requested, to the Applicant at such address as may be designated
by the Applicant in writing or set forth in this contract/lease or application. Water use for any part of a water year shall
2
• •
require payment for the entire water year. Nothing herein shall be construed so as to prevent the District from adjusting
the annual rate in its sole discretion for future years only.
If payment is not made within fifteen (15) days after the date of said written notice, Applicant shall at
District's sole option have no further right, title or interest under this contract/lease without further notice, and delivery
may be immediately curtailed. The allotment of water, as herein made, may be transferred, leased, or otherwise disposed of
at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the District.
Upon cancellation of this water allotment contract/lease with the District, the District shall notify the
Division of Water Resources offices in Denver and Glenwood Springs. The Division of Water Resources may then order cessation
of all water use.
7. Additional Fees and Costs: Applicant agrees to defray any expenses incurred by the District in
connection with the allotment of water rights hereunder, including, but not limited to, reimbursement of legal and engineering
costs incurred in connection with any water rights and adjudication necessary to allow Applicant's use of such allotted water
rights.
8. Assignment: This contract/lease shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors or assigns of
the parties hereto. Any assignment of the Applicant's rights under this contract/lease shall be subject to, and must comply
with, such requirements as the District may hereafter adopt regarding assignment of contract/lease rights and the assumption
of contract/lease obligations by assignees and successors. Nothing herein shall prevent successors to a portion of
Applicant's property from applying to the District for individual and separate allotment contracts/leases. No assignment
shall be recognized by the District except upon completion and filing of proper forms for change of ownership.
Upon the sale of the real property to which this contract/lease pertains, Applicant has a duty to make buyer
aware of this contract/lease and proper forms for change of ownership must be completed.
9. Other Rules: Applicant shall be bound by the provisions of the Water Conservancy Act of Colorado:
by the rules and regulations of the Board of Directors of the District: and all amendments thereof and supplements thereto
and by all other applicable law.
10. Operation and Maintenance Agreement: Applicant shall enter into an "Operation and Maintenance
Agreement" with the District under terms and conditions determined by the board of Directors of the District, if and when,
the Board of said District determines in its sole discretion that such an agreement is required. Said agreement may contain,
but shall not be limited to, provisions for additional annual monetary consideration for extension of District delivery
services and for additional administration, operation, and maintenance costs: or for other costs to the District which may
arise through services made available to the Applicant.
11. Change of Use: The District reserves the exclusive right to review, reapprove or disapprove any
proposed change in use of the water allotted hereunder. Any use other than that set forth herein or any lease or sale of
the water or water rights allotted hereunder without the prior written approval of the District shall be deemed to be a
material breach of this contract/lease.

in the documents submitted to the District at the time this contract/lease is executed, or in any operation and maintenance
agreement provided by Applicant. Any use other than as set forth thereon or any lease or sale of the water or water rights

In areas that have similar climate and tocography, differences in the kind and amount of vegetation produced on
angeland are closely related to the kind of soil. Effective management is based on the relationship between
:he soils and vegetation and water. This report shows, for each soil, the range site; the total annual
:roduction of vegetation in favorable, normal, and unfavorable years; the characteristic vegetation; and the
average percentage of each species. Only those soils that are used as rangeland or are suited to use as
angeland are listed. An explanation of the column headings in this report follows.
,RANGE SITE is a distinctive kind of rangeland that produces a characteristic natural plant community that
offers from natural plant communities on other range sites in kind, amount and proportion of range plants.
The relationship betweeen soils and vegetation was ascertained during this survey; thus, range sites generally
can be determined directly from the soil map. Soil properties that affect moisture supply and plant nutrients
have the greatest influence on the productivity of range plants. Soil reaction, salt content, and a seasonal
high water table are also important.
TOTAL PRODUCTION is the amount of vegetation that can be expected to grow annually on well managed rangeland
that is supporting the potential natural plant community. It includes all vegetation, whether or not it is
palatable to grazing animals. It includes the current year's growth of leaves. twigs, and fruits of woody
plants. It does not include the increase in stem diameter of trees and shrubs.
It is expressed in pounds per acre of air-dry vegetation for favorable, normal, and unfavorable years. In a
favorable year, the amount and distribution of precipitation and the temperatures make growing conditions
substantially better than average. In a normal year, growing conditions are about average. In an unfavorable
rear, growing conditions are well below average, generally because of low available soil moisture. Dry weight
Is the total annual yield per acre of air-dry vegetation. Yields are adjusted to a common percent of air-dry
;oisture content. The relationship of green weight to air-dry weight varies according to such factors as
xposure, amount of shade, recent rains, and unseasonable dry periods.
CHARACTERISTIC VEGETATION The grasses, forbs, and shrubs that make up most of the Potential natural plant
community on each soil is listed by common name.
_finder COMPOSITION the expected percentage of the total 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 animals
and on the grazing season.
?ange management requires a knowledge of the kinds of soil and of the potential natural plant community. It
also requires an evaluation of the present range condition. Range condition is determined by comparing the
:,resent plant community with the potential natural plant community on a particular range site. The more
closely the existing community resembles the potential community, the better the range condition. Range
:ondition is an ecological rating only. The objective in range management is to control grazing so that the
Plants growing on a site are about the same in kind and amount as the potential natural plant community for
that site. Such management generally results in the optimum production of vegetation, control of undesirable
brush species, conservation of water, and control of erosion. Sometimes, however, e range condition somewhat
below the potential meets grazing needs, provides wildlife habitat, and protects soil and water resources.

Soils affect the kind and amount of vegetation that is available to wildlife as food and cover. They also affect
the construction of water impoundments. The kind and abundance of wildlife depend largely on the amount and
distribution of food, cover, and water. Wildlife habitat can be created or improved by planting appropriate
vegetation, by maintaining the existing plant cover, or by promoting the natural establishment of desirable plants.
In this report the soils are rated according to their potential for providing habitat for various kinds of
wildlife. This information can be used in planning parks, wildlife refuges, nature study areas, and other developments
for wildlife; in selecting soils that are suitable for establishing, improving, or maintaining specific elements of
wildlife habitat; and in determining the intensity of management needed for each element of the habitat. The
potential of the soil is rated "Good," "Fair," "Poor," or 'Very poor." A rating of "Good" indicates that the element
or kind of habitat is easily established, improved, or maintained. Few or no limitations affect management, and
satisfactory results can be expected. A rating of "Fair" indicates that the element or kind of habitat can be
established, improved, or maintained in most places. Moderately intensive management is required for satisfactory
results. A rating of "Poor" indicates that limitations are severe for the designated element or kind of habitat.
Habitat can be created, improved, or maintained in most places, but management is difficult and must be intensive.
A rating of "Very poor" indicates that restrictions for the element or kind of habitat are very severe and that
unsatisfactory results can be expected. Creating, improving, or maintaining habitat is impractical or
impossible. The elements of wildlife habitat are described in the following paragraphs.
GRAIN AND SEED CROPS are domestic grains and seed -producing herbaceous plants. Soil properties and features that affect
the growth of grain and seed crops are depth of the root zone, texture of the surface layer, available water
capacity, wetness, slope, surface stoniness, and flood hazard. Soil temperature and soil moisture are also
considerations. Examples of grain and seed crops are corn, wheat, oats, and barley.
GRASSES AND LEGUMES are domestic perennial grasses and herbaceous legumes. Soil properties and features that
affect the growth of grasses and legumes are depth of the root zone, texture of the surface layer, available water
capacity, wetness, surface stoniness, flood hazard, and slope. Soil temperature and soil moisture are also
considerations. Examples of grasses and legumes are fescue, lovegrass, bromegrass, clover, and alfalfa.
WILD HERBACEOUS PLANTS are native or naturally established grasses and forbs, including weeds. Soil properties and
features that affect the growth of these plants are depth of the root zone, texture of the surface layer, available water
capacity, wetness, surface stoniness, and flood hazard. Soil temperature and soil moisture are also considerations.
Examples of wild herbaceous plants are bluestem, goldenrod, beggarweed, wheatgrass, and grama.
HARDWOOD TREES and woody understory produce nuts or other fruit, buds, catkins, twigs, bark, and foliage. Soil
properties and features that affect the growth of hardwood trees and shrubs are depth of the root zone, available water
capacity, and wetness. Examples of these plants are oak, poplar, cherry, sweetgum, apple, hawthorn, dogwood, hickory,
blackberry, and blueberry. Examples of fruit -producing shrubs that are suitable for planting on soils rated
are Russian -olive, autumn -olive, and crabapple.
:ONIFEROUS PLANTS furnish browse and seeds. Soil properties and features that affect the growth of coniferous trees,
shrubs, and ground cover are depth of the root zone, available water capacity, and wetness. Examples of
;oniferous plants are pine, spruce, fir, cedar, and •er.1111/
SHRUBS are bushy woody plants that produce fruit, buds, twigs, bark, and foliage. Soil properties and features that
affect the growth of shrubs are depth of the root zone, available water capacity, salinity, and soil moisture.
Examples of shrubs are mountainmahogany, bitterbrush, snowberry, and big sagebrush.

"his report gives estimates of various soil water features. The estimates are used in land use planning that involves
:ngineering considerations.
!ydrologic soil groups are used to estimate runoff from precipitation. Soils not protected by vegetation are
Jssigned to one of four groups. They are grouped according to the infiltration of water when the soils are thoroughly
»et and receive precipitation from long -duration storms. The four hydrologic soil groups are:
Group " A". Soils having a high infiltration rate (low
runoff potential) when thoroughly wet. These consist mainly
of deep, well drained to excessively drained sands or
gravelly sands. These soils have a high rate of water
transmission.
Group "B". Soils having a moderate infiltration rate when
thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of moderately deep or
deep, moderately well drained or well drained soils that
have moderately fine texture to moderately coarse texture.
These soils have a moderate rate of water transmission.
Group "C". Soils having a slow infiltration rate when
thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of soils having a
layer that impedes the downward movement of water or soils
of moderately fine texture or fine texture. These soils
have a slow rate of water transmission.
Group "D". Soils having a very slow infiltration rate (high
runoff potential) when thoroughly wet. These consist
chiefly of clays that have a high shrink -swell potential,
soils that have a permanent high water table, soils that
have a claypan or clay layer at or near the surface, and
soils that are shallow over nearly impervious material.
These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission.
f a soil is assigned to two hydrologic groups in this report, the first letter is for drained areas and the second
Is for undrained areas. Flooding, the temporary inundation of an area, is caused by overflowing streams, by runoff from
adjacent slopes, or by tides. Water standing for short periods after rainfall or snowmelt is not considered
flooding, nor is water in swamps and marshes. This report gives the frequency and duration of flooding and
the time of year when flooding is most likely. Frequency, duration, and probable dates of occurrence are estimated.
Frequency is expressed as "None", "Rare", "Occasional", and "Frequent". "None" means that flooding is not probable;
"Rare" that it is unlikely but possible under unusual weather conditions; "Occasional" that it occurs, on the
average, once or less in 2 years; and "Frequent' that it occurs, on the average, more than once in 2 years.
Duration is expressed as "Very brief" if less than 2 days, "Brief" if 2 to 7 days, Long if if 7 to 30 days, and Very
long" if more than 30 days. The information is based on evidence in the soil profile, namely thin strata of gravel,
sand, silt, or clay deposited by floodwater; irre decrease in organic matter content with increasing h;
and absence of distinctive horizons that fors in so . that are not subject to flooding. Also considered local
information about the extent and levels of flooding and the relation of each soil on the landscape to historic floods.

Information on the extent of flooding based on soil data is less specific than that provided by detailed engineering
surveys that delineate flood -prone areas at specific flood frequency levels.
High water table (seasonal) is the highest level of a saturated zone in the soil in most years. The depth to a
seasonal high water table applies to undrained soils. The estimates are based mainly on the evidence of a saturated
zone, namely grayish colors or mottles in the soil. Indicated in this report are the depth to the seasonal high
Nater table; the kind of water table, that is, "Apparent", "Artesian", or "Perched"; and the months of the year that
:he water table commonly is high. A water table that is seasonally high for less than 1 month is not indicated in
this report.
n "Apparent" water table is a thick zone of free water in the soil. It is indicated by the level at which water
_tands in an uncased borehole after adequate time is allowed for adjustment in the surrounding soil.
An "Artesian" water table exists under a hydrostatic beneath an impermeable layer. When the impermeable layer has been
penetrated by a cased borehole, the water rises. The final level of the water in the cased borehole is characterized as
an artesian water table.
"Perched" water table is water standing above an unsaturated zone. In places an upper, or "Perched", water
table is separated from a lower one by a dry zone. Only saturated zones within a depth of about 6 feet are
ndicated.
'onding is standing water in a closed depression. The water is removed only by deep percolation, transpiration,
evaporation, or a combination of these processes.
This report gives the depth and duration of ponding and the time of year when ponding is most likely. Depth, duration,
probable dates of occurrence are estimated.
:,epth is expressed as the depth of ponded water in feet above the soil surface. Duration is expressed as "Very
;grief" if less than 2 days, "Brief" if 2 to 7 days, "Long" if 7 to 30 days, and "Very long" if more than 30 days. The
information is based on the relation of each soil on the landscape to historic ponding and on local information about
the extent and levels of ponding.

This report gives estimates of various soil features. The estimates are used in land use planning that involves
engineering considerations.
Depth to bedrock is given if bedrock is within a depth of 5 feet. The depth is based or many soil borings and on
observations during soil mapping. The rock is either "Soft" or "Hard". If the rock is "Soft" or fractured, excavations
can be made with trenching machines, backhoes, or small rippers. If the rock is "Hard" or massive, blasting or
special equipment generally is needed for excavation.
Cemented pans are cemented or indurated subsurface layers within a depth of 5 feet. Such pans cause difficulty in
excavation. Pans are classified as "Thin" or "Thick". A "Thin" pan is less than 3 inches thick if continuously
indurated or less than 18 inches thick if discontinuous or fractured. Excavations can be made by trenching machines,
backhoes, or small rippers. A "Thick" pan is more than 3 inches thick if continuously indurated or more than 18
inches thick if discontinuous or fractured. Such a pan is so thick or massive that blasting or special equipment is
needed in excavation.
Subsidence is the settlement of organic soils or of saturated mineral soils of very low density. Subsidence
results from either desiccation and shrinkage or oxidation of organic material, or both, following drainage.
Subsidence takes place gradually, usually over a period of several years. This report shows the expected initial
subsidence, which usually is a result of drainage, and total subsidence, which usually is a result 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 result of lowering the water table.
Potential frost action is the likelihood of upward or lateral expansion of the soil caused by the formation of
segregated ice lenses (frost heave) and the subsequent collapse of the soil and loss of strength on thawing. Frost
action occurs when moisture moves into the freezing zone of the soil. Temperature, texture, density, permeability,
content of organic matter, and depth to the water table are the most important factors considered in evaluating the
potential for frost action. It is assumed that the soil is not insulated by vegetation or snow and is not artificially
drained. Silty and highly structured clayey soils that have a high water table in winter are the most susceptible to
frost action. Well drained, very gravelly, or very sandy soils are the least susceptible. Frost heave and low soil
strength during thawing cause damage mainly to pavements and other rigid structures.
Risk of corrosion pertains to potential soil -induced electrochemical or chemical action that dissolves or weakens
uncoated steel or concrete. The rate of corrosion of uncoated steel is related to such factors as soil moisture,
particle -size distribution, acidity, and electrical conductivity of the soil. The rate of corrosion of concrete
is based mainly on the sulfate and sodium content, texture, moisture content, and acidity of the soil. Special
site examination and design may be needed if the combination of factors creates a severe corrosion environment. The steel
installations that intersect soil boundaries or soil layers is more susceptible to corrosion than steel in
installations that are entirely within one kind of soil or within one soil layer. For uncoated steel, the risk of
corrosion, expressed as "Low", "Moderate", or "High", is based on soil drainage class, total acidity, electrical
ilsistivity near field capacity, and electrical conductivity of the saturation extract.
For concrete, the risk of corrosion is also expressed as Low", "Moderate", or "High". It is based on soil' ezture,
acidity, and amount of sulfates in the saturation extract.

'his report shows the degree and kind of soil limitations that affect septic tank absorption fields, sewage lagoons,
nd sanitary landfills. The limitations are considered "Slight" if soil properties and site features generally are
'evorable for the indicated use and limitations are minor and easily overcome; "Moderate" if soil properties or site
Features are not favorable for the indicated use and special planning, design, or maintenance is needed to overcome or
ainimize the limitations; and "Severe" if soil properties or site features are so unfavorable or so difficult to overcome
hat special design, significant increases in construction costs, and possibly increased maintenance are required.
'his report also shows the suitability of the soils for use as daily cover for landfills. A rating of "Good" indicates
that soil properties and site features are favorable for the use and good performance and low maintenance can be
°xpected; "Fair" indicates that soil properties and site features are moderately favorable for the use and one or
ore soil properties or site features make the soil less desirable than the soils rated "Good"; and "Poor" indicates
that one or more soil properties or site features are unfavorable for the use and overcoming the unfavorable
properties requires special design, extra maintenance, or costly alteration.
,EPTIC TANK ABSORPTION FIELDS are areas in which effluent from a septic tank is distributed into the soil through
subsurface tiles or perforated pipe. Only that part of the soil between depths of 24 to 72 inches is evaluated. The
ratings are base on soil properties, site features, and observed performance of the soils. Permeability, a high
rater table, depth to bedrock or to a cemented pan, and flooding affect absorption of the effluent. Large stones
;nd bedrock or a cemented pan interfere with installation, Unsatisfactory performance of septic tank absorption fields,
Including excessively slow absorption of effluent, surfacing of effluent, and hillside seepage, can affect public health.
Sroundwater can be polluted if highly permeable sand and gravel or fractured bedrock is less than 4 feet below the
ase of the absorption field, if slope is excessive, or if the water table is near the surface. There must be
.nsaturated soil material beneath the absorption field to filter the effluent effectively. Many local ordinances
'eauire that this material be of a certain thickness,
A.L I_A000NS are shallow ponds constructed to hold sewage while aerobic bacteria decompose the solid and liquid
pastes. Lagoons should have a nearly level floor surrounded by cut slopes or embankments of compacted soil. Lagoons
enerally are designed to hold the sewage within a depth of 2 to 5 feet. Nearly impervious soil material for the lagoon
floor and sides is required to minimize seepage and contamination of ground water. This report gives ratings for
:he natural soil that makes up the lagoon floor. The surface layer and, generally, 1 or 2 feet of soil material
•:-elow the surface layer are excavated to provide material for the embankments. The ratings are based on soil
;roperties, site features, and observed performance of the soils. Considered in the ratings are slope, permeability, a
`igh water table, depth to bedrock or to a cemented pan, flooding, large stones, and content of organic matter,
_xcessive seepage due to rapid permeability of the soil or a water table that is high enough to raise the level of sewage
in the lagoon causes a lagoon to function unsatisfactorily. Pollution results if seepage is excessive or if floodwater
.wertops the lagoon. A high content of organic matter is detrimental to groper functioning of the lagoon because it
inhibits aerobic activity. Slope, bedrock, and cemented pans can cause construction problems, and large stones can
hinder compaction of the lagoon floor.
ANITARY LANDFILLS are areas where solid waste is disposed of by burying it in soil. There are two types of landfill,
.Tench and area. In a trench landfill, the waste is placed in a trench, It is spread, compacted, and covere daily
$ith a thin layer of soil excavated at the site. I rea landfill, the waste is placed in successive 1 on the
surface of the soil. The waste is spread, compacted, nd covered daily with a thin layer of soil form a source away
`ros the site. Both types of landfill must be able to bear heavy vehicular traffic. Both types involve a risk of
groundwater pollution. Ease of excavation and revegetation need to be considered. The ratings in this report are based

soil properties, site features, and observed performance of the soils. Permeability, depth to bedrock or to a
emented pan, a high water table, slope, and flooding affect both types of landfill. Texture, stones and boulders,
Highly organic layers, soil reaction, and content of salts and sodium affect trench type landfills. Unless otherwise
tated, the ratings apply only to that part of the soil within a depth of about 6 feet. For deeper trenches, a
_imitation rate 'Slight' or 'Moderate' may rot be valid. Onsite investigation is needed.
DAILY COVER FOR LANDFILL is the soil material that is used to cover compacted solid waste in an area type sanitary
andfill. The soil material is obtained offsite, transported to the landfill, and spread over the waste.
'oil texture, wetness, coarse fragments, and slope affect the ease of removing and spreading the material during wet
and dry periods. Loamy or silty soils that are free of large stones or excess gravel are the best cover for a
andfill. Clayey soils may be sticky or cloddy and are difficult to spread; sandy soils are subject to soil
lowing. After soil material has been removed, the soil material remaining in the borrow area must be thick enough
over bedrock, a cemented pan, or the water table to permit revegetation. The soil material used as final cover for a
landfill should be suitable for plants. The surface layer generally has the best workability, more organic matter than
the rest of the profile, and the best potential for plants. Material from the surface layer should he stockpiled for use
as the final cover.

This report shows the degree and kind of soil limitations that affect shallow excavations, dwellings with and without
`easements, small commercial buildings, local roads and streets, and lawns and landscaping. The limitations are
"Slight", "Moderate", or "Severe". The limitations are considered "Slight" if soil properties and site features are
generally favorable for the indicated use and limitaions are minor and easily overcome; "Moderate" if soil properties
r site features are not favorable for the indicated use and special planning, design, or maintenance is needed to
overcome or minimize the limitations; and "Severe" if soil properties or site features are so unfavorable or so
=ifficult to overcome that special design, significant increases in construction costs, and possibly increased
-?.intenance are required. Special feasibility studies may be required where the soil limitations are severe.
HALLOW EXCAVATIONS are trenches or holes dug to a maximum depth of 5 or 6 feet for basements, graves, utility lines,
open ditches, and other purposes. The ratings are based on soil properties, site features, and observed performance of
:he soils. The ease of digging, filling, and compacting is affected by the depth to bedrock, a cemented pan, or a very
firm dense layer; stone content; soil texture; and slope. The time of the year that excavations can be made is
affected by the depth to a seasonal high water table and the susceptibility of the soil to flooding. The resistance of
the excavation walls or bands to sloughing or caving is affected by soil texture and the depth to the water table,
;WELLINGS AND SMALL COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS are structures built on shallow foundations on undisturbed soil. The load
limit is the same as that for single-family dwellings no higher than three stories. Ratings are made for small
:ommercial buildings without basements, for dwellings with basements, and for dwellings without basements. The ratings
are based on soil properties, site features, and observed performance of the soils. A high water table, depth to bedrock
.r to a cemented pan, large stones, slope, and flooding affect the ease of excavation and construction. Landscaping
33nd grading that require cuts and fills of more than 5 or 6 feet are not considered.
...),AL ROADS AND STREETS have an all-weather surface and carry automobile and light truck traffic all year. They
-gave a subgrade of cut or fill soil material, a base of gravel, crushed rock, or stabilized soil material, and a
flexible or rigid surface. Cuts and fills are generally properties, site features, and observed performance of the
soils. Depth to bedrock or to a cemented pan, e high water table, flooding, large stones, and slope affect the ease of
:xcaveting and grading, Soil strength (as inferred from the engineering classification of the soil), shrink -swell
-otential, frost action potential, and depth to a high water table affect the traffic -supporting capacity.
AWNS AND LANDSCAPING require soils on which turf and ornamental trees and shrubs can be established and
raintained. The ratings are based on soil properties, site features, and observed performance of the soils. Soil
-eaction, a high water table, depth to bedrock or to a cemented pan, the available water capacity in the upper 40
inches, and the content of salts, sodium, and sulfidic materials affect plant growth. Flooding, wetness, slope,
stoniness, and the amount of sand, clay, or organic matter in the surface layer affect trafficability after vegetation
is established.

This report gives information about the soils as a source of roadfill, sand, gravel, and topsoil. The soils are rated
"Good", "Fair", or "Poor" as a source of roadfill and topsoil. They are rated as a "Probable" or "Improbable"
source of sand and gravel. The ratings are based on soil properties and site features that affect the removal of the
roil and its use as construction material. Normal compaction, minor processing, and other standard construction
:mactices are assumed. Each soil is evaluated to a depth of 5 or 6 feet.
'oadfill is soil material that is excavated in one place and used in road embankments in another place. In this report,
`he soils are rated as a source of roadfill for low embankments, generally less than 6 feet high and less
exacting in design than higher embankments. The ratings are for the soil material below the surface layer to a
depth of 5 or 6 feet. It is assumed that soil layers will be mixed during excavating and spreading. Many soils have
sayers of contrasting suitability within their profile. The report entitled Engineering Index Properties is also available
nd it provides detailed information about each soil layer. This information can help determine the suitability of each
.ayer for use as roadfill. The performance of soil after it is stabilized with lime or cement is not considered in
the ratings.
The ratings are based on soil properties, site features, and observed performance of the soils. The thickness of
suitable material is a major consideration. The ease of excavation is affected by large stones, a high water table,
and slope. How well the soil performs in place after it has been compacted and drained is determined by its strength (as
inferred from the engineering classification of the soil) and shrink -swell potential.
Soils rated "Good" contain significant amounts of sand or gravel or both. They have at least 5 feet of suitable
material, a low shrink -swell potential, few cobbles and stones, and slopes of 15 percent or less. Depth to the
water table is more than 3 feet
Soils rated "Fair" have more than 35 percent silt- and clay -sized particles and have a plasticity of less than 10.
They have a moderate shrink -swell potential, slopes of 15 to 25 percent, or many stones. Depth to the water table is 1
to 3 feet.
Soils rated "Poor" have a plasticity index of more than 10, a high shrink -swell potential, many stones, or slopes of
more than 25 percent. They are wet, and the depth to the water table is less than 1 foot. These soils may have
layers of suitable material, but the material is less than 3 feet thick.
Sand and gravel are natural aggregates suitable for commercial use with a minimum of processing. Sand and
gravel are used in many kinds of construction. Specifications for each use vary widely. In this report only
the probability of finding material in suitable quantity is evaluated. The suitability of the material for specific
purposes is not evaluated, nor are factors that affect excavation of the material. The properties used to evaluate
the soil as a source of sand or gravel are gradation of grain sizes (as indicated by the engireering classification
of the soil), the thickness of suitable material, and the content of rock fragments. Kinds of rock, acidity, and
stratification are given in the soil series description_,. Gradation of grain sizes is given in the Engineering Index
'roperties report.
A soil rated as a °Probable" source has a layer of clean sand and gravel or a layer of sand or gravel that contains
;p to 12 percent silty fin This material must be at least 3 feet thick and less than 50 percent, by weight, large
tones. All other soils are rated as an "Improoauie source. Coarse fragments of soft bedrock, such as shale and
_iltstone, are not considered to be sand and gravel.

"opsoil is used to cover an area so that vegetation can be established and maintained. The upper 40 inches of a soil
is evaluated for use as topsoil. Also evaluated is the reclamation potential of the borrow area. Plant growth is
affected by toxic material and by such properties as soil reaction, available water capacity, and fertility. The ease
of excavating, loading, and spreading is affected by rock fragments, slope, a water table, soil texture, and thickness
of suitable material. Reclamation of the borrow area is affected by slope, a water table, rock fragments, bedrock,
and toxic material.
Soils rate "Good" have friable loamy material to a depth of at least 40 inches. They are free of stones and cobbles,
have little or no gravel, and have slopes of less than 8 percent. They are low in content of soluble salts, are
naturally fertile or respond well to fertilizer, and are not so wet that excavation is difficult.
Soils rated 'Fair" are sandy soils, loamy soils that have a relatively high content of clay, soils that have only 20
to 40 inches of suitable material, soils that have an appreciable amount of gravel, stones, or soluble salts, or
soils that have slopes of 8 to 15 percent. The soils are not so wet that excavation is difficult.
Soils rate "Poor" are very sandy or clayey, have less than 20 inches of suitable material, have a large amount of
gravel, stones, or soluble salts, have slopes of more than 15 percent, or have a seasonal water table at or near the
surface. The surface layer of most soils is generally preferred for topsoil because of it organic matter content.
Organic matter greatly increases the absorption and retention of moisture and nutrients for plant growth.

pis report shows estimates of some characteristics and features that affect soil behavior.
'hese estimates are given for the major layers of each soil in the survey area, The estimates
based on field observations and on test data for these and similar soils.
'_AY as a soil separate consists of mineral soil particles that are less than 0.002
illimeter in diameter. In this report, the estimated clay content of each major soil layer
s given as a percentage, by weight, of the soil material that is less than 2 millimeters in
'iameter. The amount and kind of clay greatly affect the fertility and physical condition of
the soil. They determine the ability of the soil to adsorb cations and to retain moisture.
They influence shrink -swell potential, permeability, and plasticity, the ease of soil
dispersion, and other soil properties. The amount and kind of clay in a soil also affect
tillage and earthmoving operations,
CATION EXCHANGE CAPACITY (CEC1 is the total amount of cations held in a soil in such
a way that they can be removed only by exchanging with another cation in the natural soil
solution. CEC is a measure of the ability of a soil to retain cations, some of which are
plant nutrients. Soils with low CEC hold few cations and may require more frequent
applications of fertilizers than soils with high CEC. Soils with high CEC have the potential
to retain cations, thus reducing the possibility of pollution of ground water.
SOIL REACTION is a measure of acidity or alkalinity and is expressed as a range in pH
values. The range in pH of each major horizon is based on many field tests. For many soils,
values have been verified by laboratory analyses. Soil reaction is important in selecting
crops and other plants, in evaluating soil amendments for fertility and stabilization, and
in determining the risk of corrosion.
CALCIUM CARBONATE is the percentage by weight of calcium carbonate in the fine -earth
material, less than 2 millimeters in size.
GYPSUM is the percentage by weight of hydrated calcium sulfates 20 millimeters or
smaller in size, in the soil.
SALINITY is a measure of soluble salts in the soil at saturation. It is expressed
as the electrical conductivity of the saturation extract, in millimhos per centimeter
at 25 degrees C. Estimates are based on field and laboratory measurements at representative
sites of nonirrigated soils.
The salinity of irrigated soils is affected by the quality of the irrigation water
and by the frequency of water application. Hence, the salinity of soils in individual fields
can differ greatly from the value given in the report. Salinity affects the suitability of
a soil for crop production, the stability of soil i as construction material, and
the potential of the soil to corrode metal and concre,.e.
5UDIUM AU5UKK11UN KAI10 ISAKJ expresses the relative activity of sodium ions in
xchange reactions ir the soil. SAR is a measure of the amount of sodium relative to
calcium and magnesium in the water extract from sap soil paste.

his report shows estimates of some characteristics and features that affect soil behavior. These estimates
Te given for the major layers of each soil in the survey area. The estimates are based on field observations
Id on test data for these and similar soils.
CLAY as a soil separate consists of mineral soil particles that are less than 0.002 millimeter in diameter.
"n this report, the estimated clay content of each major soil layer is given as a percentage, by weight, of the
-oil material that is less than 2 millimeters in diameter. The amount and kind of clay greatly affect the
'ertility and physical condition of the soil. They determine the ability of the soil to adsorb cations and
o retain moisture. They influence shrink -swell potential, permeability, plasticity, the ease of soil
dispersion, and other soil properties. The amount and kind of clay in a soil also affect tillage and
earthmoving operations.
MOIST BULK DENSITY is the weight of soil (ovendry) per unit volume. Volume is measured when the soil is
at field moisture capacity, the moisture content at 1/3 bar moisture tension. Weight is determined after
drying the soil at 105 degrees C. In this report, the estimated moist bulk density of each major soil
horizon is expressed in grams per cubic centimeter of soil material that is less than 2 millimeters in
diameter. Bulk density data are used to compute shrink -swell potential, available water capacity, total
pore space, and other soil properties. The moist bulk density of a soil indicates the pore space available for
water and roots. A bulk density of more than 1.6 can restrict water storage and root penetration. Moist
bulk density is influenced by texture, kind of clay, content of organic matter, and soil structure.
PERMEABILITY refers to the ability of a soil to transmit water or air. The estimates indicate the
rate of downward movement of water when the soil is saturated. They are based on soil characteristics
observed in the field, particularly structure, porosity, and texture. Permeability is considered in
the design of soil drainage systems, septic tank absorption fields, and construction where the rate of
water movement under saturated conditions affects behavior.
AVAILABLE WATER CAPACITY refers to the quantity of water that the soil is capable of storing for use by
plants. The capacity for water storage is given in inches of water per inch of soil for each major soil layer.
The capacity varies, depending on soil properties that affect the retention of water and the depth of the root
zone. The most important properties are the content of organic matter, soil texture, bulk density, and soil
structure. Available water capacity is an important factor in the choice of plants or crops to be grown and in
the design and management of irrigation systems. Available water capacity is not an estimate of the quantity of
water actually available to plants at any given time.
SHRINK -SWELL POTENTIAL is the potential for volume change in a soil with a loss or gain of moisture. Volume
change occurs mainly because of the interaction of clay minerals with water and varies with the amount and type
of clay minerals in the soil. The size of the load on the soil and the magnitude of the change in soil moisture
content influence the amount of swelling of soils in place. Laboratory measurements of swelling of undisturbed
clods were made for many soils. For others, swelling was estimated on the basis of the kind and amount of
clay minerals in the soil and on measurements of similar soils. If the shrink -swell potential is rated moderate
to very high, shrinking and swelling can cause damage to buildings, roads, and other structures. Special design
is often needed. Shrink -swell potential classes are based on the change in length of an unconfined clod as
moisture content is increased from air-dry to field capacity. The change is based on the soil fraction less
than 2 millimeters in diameter. The classes are "Low," a change of less than 3 percent; "Moderate," 3 to
-ercent; and "High," more than 6 percent. "Very h- greater than 9 percent, is sometimes used.

ORGANIC MATTER is the plant and animal residue in the soil at various stages of decomposition. In report J,
the estimated content of organic matter is expressed as a percentage, by weight, of the soil material that is
less than 2 millimeters in diameter. The content of organic matter in a soil can be maintained or increased by
returning crop residue to the soil. Organic matter affects the available water capacity, infiltration rate, and
filth. It is a source of nitrogen and other nutrients for crops.
:ROSION FACTOR K indicates the susceptibility of the whole soil (including rocks and rock fragments) to
Beet and rill erosion by water. Factor K is one of six factors used in the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE)
-o predict the average annual rate of soil loss by sheet and rill erosion in tons per acre per year. The
stimates are based primarily on percentage of silt, sand, and organic matter (up to 4 percent) and on soil
tructure and permeability. Values of K range from 0.05 to 0.69. The higher the value, the more susceptible
the soil is to sheet and rill erosion by water.
EROSION FACTOR Kf is like EROSION FACTOR K but it is for the fine -earth fraction of the soil. Rocks and
rock fragments are not considered.
EROSION FACTOR T is an estimate of the maximum average annual rate of soil erosion by wind or water that can
occur without affecting crop productivity over a sustained period. The rate is in tons per acre per year.
WIND ERODIBILITY GROUPS are made up of soils that have similar properties affecting their resistance to wind
erosion in cultivated areas. The groups indicate the susceptibility of soil to wind erosion. Soils are grouped
according to the following distinctions:
1. Coarse sands, sands, fine sands, and very fine sands.
These soils are generally not suitable for crops. They are
extremely erodible, and vegetation is difficult to
establish.
2. Loamy coarse sands, loamy sands, loamy fine sands, loamy
very fine sands, and sapric soil material. These soils are
very highly erodible. Crops can be grown if intensive
measures to control wind erosion are used.
3. Coarse sandy loams, sandy loams, fine sandy loams, and
very fine sandy loams. These soils are highly erodible.
Crops can be grown if intensive measures to control wind
