This report shows estimates of some characteristics and features that affect soil behavior.
These estimates are given for the major layers of each soil in the survey area. The estimates
are based on field observations and 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. In this report, the estimated clay content of each major soil layer
is given as a percentage, by weight, of the soil material that is less than 2 millimeters in
diameter. 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 (CEC) 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 it 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 if used as construction material, and
the potential of the soil to corrode metal and concrete.
SODIUM ADSORPTION RATIO (SAR) expresses the relative activity of sodium ions in
exchange reactions in the soil. SAR is a measure of the amount of sodium relative to
calcium and magnesium in the water extract from saturated soil paste.

iRGANIC MATTER is the plant and animal residue in the soil at various stages of decomposition. In report 3,
he estimated content of organic matter is expressed as a percentage, by weight, of the soil material that is
ess than 2 millimeters in diameter. The content of organic matter in a soil can he maintained or increased by
eturning crop residue to the soil. Organic matter affects the available water capacity, infiltration rate, and
ilth. 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
heet 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
he soil is to sheet and rill erosion by water.
ROSION FACTOR Kf is like EROSION FACTOR K but it is for the fine -earth fraction of the soil. Rocks and
ock fragments are not considered.
ROSION FACTOR T is an estimate of the maximum average annual rate of soil erosion by wind or water that can
ccur without affecting crop productivity over a sustained period. The rate is in tons per acre per year.
IND ERODIBILITY GROUPS are made up of soils that have similar properties affecting their resistance to wind
rosion in cultivated areas. The groups indicate the susceptibility of soil to wind erosion. Soils are grouped
ccording 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 he 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
erosion are used.
4L. Calcareous loans, silt loams, clay loans, and silty clay
loams. These .soils are erodible. Crops can be grown if
intensive measures to control wind erosion are used.
4. Clays, silty clays, noncalcareous clay loams, and silty
clay loams that are more than 35 percent clay. These soils
are moderately erodible. Crops can be grown if measures to
control wind erosion are used.

5. Noncalcareous loams and silt loams that are less than 20
percent clay and sandy clay loams, sandy clays, and hemic
soil material. These soils are slightly erodible. Crops
can be grown if measures to control wind erosion are used.
6. Noncalcareous loams and silt loams that are more than 20
percent clay and noncalcareous clay loams that are less than
35 percent clay. These soils are very slightly erodible.
Crops can be grown if ordinary measures to control wind
erosion are used.
7. Silts, noncalcareous silty clay loams that are less than
35 percent clay, and fibric soil material. These soils are
very slightly erodible. Crops can be grown if ordinary
measures to control wind erosion are used.
8. Soils that are not subject to wind erosion because of
coarse fragments on the surface or because of surface
wetness.

n areas that have similar climate and topography, 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
verage 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.
ANGE SITE is a distinctive kind of rangeland that produces a characteristic natural plant community that
iffers from natural plant communities on other range sites in kind, amount and proportion of range plants.
he relationship betweeen soils and vegetation was ascertained during this survey; thus, range sites generally
an be determined directly from the soil map. Soil properties that affect moisture supply and plant nutrients
ave the greatest influence on the productivity of range plants. Soil reaction, salt content, and a seasonal
igh water table are also important.
OTAL PRODUCTION is the amount of vegetation that can be expected to grow annually on well managed rangeland
hat is supporting the potential natural plant community. It includes all vegetation, whether or not it is
alatable to grazing animals. It includes the current year's growth of leaves, twigs, and fruits of woody
lants. It does not include the increase in stem diameter of trees and shrubs.
t is expressed in pounds per acre of air-dry vegetation for favorable, normal, and unfavorable years. In a
vorable year, the amount and distribution of precipitation and the temperatures make growing conditions
bstantially better than average. In a normal year, growing conditions are about average. In an unfavorable
ar, growing conditions are well below average, generally because of low available soil moisture. Dry weight
s 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.
HARACTERISTIC VEGETATION The grasses, forbs, and shrubs that make up most of the potential natural plant
ommunity on each soil is listed by common name.
nder COMPOSITION the expected percentage of the total annual production is given for each species making up
he characteristic vegetation. The amount that can be used as forage depends on the kinds of grazing animals
nd on the grazing season.
ange management requires a knowledge of the kinds of soil and of the potential natural plant community. It
Iso 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
losely the existing community resembles the potential comsunity, the better the range condition. Range
ondition is an ecological rating only. The objective in range management is to control grazing so that the
lants growing on a site are about the same in kind and amount as the potential natural plant community for
)at site. Such management generally results in the optimum production of vegetation, control of undesirable
rush species, conservation of water, and control of erosion. Sometimes, however, a range condition somewhat
°low the potential meets grazing needs, provides wildlife habitat, and protects soil and water resources.

oils affect the kind and amount of vegetation that is available to wildlife as food and cover. They also affect
he construction of water impoundments. The kind and abundance of wildlife depend largely on the amount and
istribution of food, cover, and water. Wildlife habitat can be created or improved by planting appropriate
egetation, by maintaining the existing plant cover, or by promoting the natural establishment of desirable plants.
n this report the soils are rated according to their potential for providing habitat for various kinds of
ildlife. This information can be used in planning parks, wildlife refuges, nature study areas, and other developments
or wildlife; in selecting soils that are suitable for establishing, improving, or maintaining specific elements of
ildlife habitat; and in determining the intensity of management needed for each element of the habitat. The
otential of the soil is rated 'Good,' 'Fair,' 'Poor,' or 'Very poor.' A rating of 'Good' indicates that the element
r kind of habitat is easily established, improved, or maintained. Few or no limitations affect management, and
atisfactory results can be expected. A rating of 'Fair' indicates that the element or kind of habitat can be
stablished, improved, or maintained in most places. Moderately intensive management is required for satisfactory
esults. A rating of 'Poor' indicates that limitations are severe for the designated element or kind of habitat.
abitat can be created, improved, or maintained in most places, but management is difficult and must be intensive.
rating of 'Very poor' indicates that restrictions for the element or kind of habitat are very severe and that

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
soil and its use as construction material. Normal compaction, minor processing, and other standard construction
practices are assumed. Each soil is evaluated to a depth of 5 or 6 feet.
Roadfill is soil material that is excavated in one place and used in road embankments in another place. In this report,
the 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
epth of 5 or 6 feet. It is assumed that soil layers will be mixed during excavating and spreading. Many soils have
layers 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
layer for use as roadfill. The performance of soil after it is stabilized with lime or cement is not considered in
he ratings.
he ratings are based on soil properties, site features, and observed performance of the soils. The thickness of
uitable material is a major consideration. The ease of excavation is affected by large stones, a high water table,
nd 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.
oils rated 'Good' contain significant amounts of sand or gravel or both. They have at least 5 feet of suitable
aterial, a low shrink -swell potential, few cobbles and stones, and slopes of 15 percent or less. Depth to the
ater table is more than 3 feet
oils rated 'Fair' have more than 35 percent silt- and clay -sized particles and have a plasticity of less than 10.
hey have a moderate shrink -swell potential, slopes of 15 to 25 percent, or many stones. Depth to the water table is 1
o 3 feet.
oils rated 'Poor' have a plasticity index of more than 10, a high shrink -swell potential, many stones, or slopes of
ore than 25 percent. They are wet, and the depth to the water table is less than 1 foot. These soils may have
ayers of suitable material, but the material is less than 3 feet thick.
and and gravel are natural aggregates suitable for commercial use with a minimum of processing. Sand and
ravel are used in many kinds of construction. Specifications for each use vary widely. In this report only
he probability of finding material in suitable quantity is evaluated. The suitability of the material for specific
urposes is not evaluated, nor are factors that affect excavation of the material. The properties used to evaluate
he soil as a source of sand or gravel are gradation of grain sizes (as indicated by the engineering classification
f the soil), the thickness of suitable material, and the content of rock fragments. Kinds of rock, acidity, and
tratification are given in the soil series descriptions. Gradation of grain sizes is given in the Engineering Index
roperties report.
Ib 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 fines. This material must be at least 3 feet thick and less than 50 percent, by weight, large
;tones. All other soils bre rated as an 'Improbable' sours', Coarse fragments of soft bedrock, such as shale and
>iltstone, are not considered to be sand and gravel.

Topsoil 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.

•n 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,
ighly 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 b feet. For deeper trenches, a
imitation rate 'Slight' or 'Moderate' may not be valid. Onsite investigation is needed.
AILY 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
nd 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
ver bedrock, a cemented pan, or the water table to permit revegetation. The soil material used as final cover for a
andfill should be suitable for plants. The surface layer generally has the best workability, more organic matter than
he rest of the profile, and the best potential for plants. Material from the surface layer should be stockpiled for use
s the final cover.

This report shows the degree and kind of soil limitations that affect shallow excavations, dwellings with and without
basements, 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
or 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
difficult to overcome that special design, significant increases in construction costs, and possibly increased
maintenance are required. Special feasibility studies may he required where the soil limitations are severe.
SHALLOW 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
the 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.
DWELLINGS 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
commercial 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
or to a cemented pan, large stones, slope, and flooding affect the ease of excavation and construction. Landscaping
and grading that require cuts and fills of more than 5 or 6 feet are not considered.
LOCAL ROADS AND STREETS have an all-weather surface and carry automobile and light truck traffic all year. They
have 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, a high water table, flooding, large stones, and slope affect the ease of
excavating and grading. Soil strength (as inferred from the engineering classification of the soil), shrink -swell
potential, frost action potential, and depth to a high water table affect the traffic -supporting capacity.
LAWNS AND LANDSCAPING require soils on which turf and ornamental trees and shrubs can be established and
maintained. The ratings are based on soil properties, site features, and observed performance of the soils. Soil
reaction, 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.

nformation on the extent of flooding based on soil data is less specific than that provided by detailed engineering
urveys that delineate flood -prone areas at specific flood frequency levels.
igh water table (seasonal) is the highest level of a saturated zone in the soil in most years. The depth to a
easonal high water table applies to undrained soils. The estimates are based mainly on the evidence of a saturated
one, namely grayish colors or mottles in the soil. Indicated in this report are the depth to the seasonal high
ater 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
his 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.
n 'Artesian' water table exists under a hydrostatic beneath an impermeable layer. When the impermeable layer has been
enetrated by a cased borehole, the water rises. The final level of the water in the cased borehole is characterized as
n artesian water table.
'Perched' water table is water standing above an unsaturated zone. In places an upper, or 'Perched', water
ble is separated from a lower one by a dry zone. Only saturated zones within a depth of about 6 feet are
dicated.
.nding is standing water in a closed depression. The water is removed only by deep percolation, transpiration,
aporation, or a combination of these processes.
is report gives the depth and duration of ponding and the time of year when ponding is most likely. Depth, duration,
d probable dates of occurrence are estimated.
pth is expressed as the depth of ponded water in feet above the soil surface. Duration is expressed as 'Very
ief' 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
formation is based on the relation of each soil on the landscape to historic ponding and on local information about
e 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 nn many soil borings and on
observations during soil mapping. The rock is either 'Soft' or 'Na d'. 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
resistivity 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 texture,
acidity, and amount of sulfates in the saturation extract.

This report shows the degree and kind of soil limitations that affect septic tank absorption fields, sewage lagoons,
and sanitary landfills. The limitations are considered 'Slight' if soil properties and site features generally are
favorable 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
,minimize the limitations; and 'Severe' if soil properties or site features are so unfavorable or so difficult to overcome
that special design, significant increases in construction costs, and possibly increased maintenance are required.
This 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
expected; 'Fair' indicates that soil properties and site features are moderately favorable for the use and one or
more soil properties or site features make the soil less desirable than the soils rated 'Good'; and 'Poor' indicates
jthat 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.
SEPTIC 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
water table, depth to bedrock or to a cemented pan, and flooding affect absorption of the effluent. Large stones
and 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.
Groundwater can be polluted if highly permeable sand and gravel or fractured bedrock is less than 4 feet below the
base of the absorption field, if slope is excessive, or if the water table is near the surface. There must be
unsaturated soil material beneath the absorption field to filter the effluent effectively. Many local ordinances
require that this material be of a certain thickness.
SEWAGE LAGOONS are shallow ponds constructed to hold sewage while aerobic bacteria decompose the solid and liquid
wastes. Lagoons should have a nearly level floor surrounded by cut slopes or embankments of compacted soil. Lagoons
generally 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
the natural soil that makes up the lagoon floor. The surface layer and, generally, 1 or 2 feet of soil material
below the surface layer are excavated to provide material for the embankments. The ratings are based on soil
Properties, site features, and observed performance of the soils. Considered in the ratings are slope, permeability, a
high water table, depth to bedrock or to a cemented pan, flooding, large stones, and content of organic matter.
Excessive 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
overtops the lagoon. A high content of organic matter is detrimental to proper 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.
SANITARY LANDFILLS are areas where solid waste is disposed of by burying it in soil. There are two types of landfill,
trench and area. In a trench landfill, the waste is placed in a trench. It is spread, compacted, and covered daily
with a thin layer of soil excavated at the site. In an area landfill, the waste is placed in successive layers on the
surface of the soil. The waste is spread, compacted, and covered daily with a thin layer of soil form a source away
from 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

This report gives estimates of various soil water features. The estimates are used in land use planning that involves
engineering considerations.
Hydrologic soil groups are used to estimate runoff from precipitation. Soils not protected by vegetation are
assigned to one of four groups. They are grouped according to the infiltration of water when the soils are thoroughly
wet 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 W. 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.
If 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 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; irregular decrease in organic matter content with increasing depth;
and absence of distinctive horizons that form in soils that are not subject to flooding. Also considered are local
information about the extent and levels of flooding and the relation of each soil on the landscape to historic floods.

RE: Simon Well
Dear Dave:
August 17, 1998
We have reviewed the pertinent information regarding the Simon well, including the decree
(Case No. W-1452), the well permit (049153-F), and the pump test data from Aqua Tec
Systems, Inc.. The purpose of our review was to offer an opinion as to the adequacy of the
physical and legal supply for a proposed 4 homes.
The well is located on a 180 acre parcel in the NE1/4, Section 36, T5S, R92W, 6th P.M. in
Garfield County. It was decreed with an adjudication date of July 13, 1972, and an
appropriation date of May 31, 1910. The amount is 0.11 cfs (49 g.p.m.) for domestic and
irrigation use. The decree is consistent with the proposed uses.
The well permit is for 49 g.p.m. domestic and irrigation use. The beneficial use date is given
as 1910. The permit provides no information as to average annual amount of water diverted
nor number of acres irrigated. It is our understanding that the well has historically served only
one single family home. To the extent of it's use prior to 1977 it should be protected by Green
Mountain Reservoir Historic User Pool, but any expansion of use would be subject to a Cameo
call. The Cameo call can be augmented by releases from Ruedi Reservoir under a water service
contract with the West Divide Water Conservancy District. The amount of the contract will
be dependent upon the number of homes and amount of irrigated area.
The pump test by Aqua Tec was a 4 hour test with recovery completed on August 13, 1997.
The pump rate was 30 g.p.m. and the well drew down 5'3" after four hours. It recovered
4'11", or nearly the full amount in five hours. It is a shallow well which is very likely
influenced by irrigation. Therefore we are concerned whether an August pump test accurately
reflects the reliable yield during the non -irrigation season. The duration of the test (4 hours)
is also not long enough, in our opinion, for a community well serving multiple homes. We
would recommend a 72 hour pump test during February to evaluate the well. It should be
noted, however, that a long term reliable yield of 30 g.p.m. is not necessary to support
in-house use by 4 homes.
If we can be of any assistance in this matter, please let us know.
Sincerely,

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 Subdivision Regulations.
A. No more than a total of four (4) lots, parcels, interests or dwelling units will be created
from any parcel, as that parcel was described in the records of the Garfield County Clerk
and Recorder's Office on January 1, 1973. In order to qualify for exemption, the parcel as
it existed on January 1, 1973, must have been 35 acres or greater in size at that time and
not a part of a recorded subdivision; however, any parcel to be divided by exemption that
is split by a public right-of-way (State or Federal highway, County road or railroad),
preventing joint use of the proposed tracts, and the division occurs along the public right-of-
way, such parcels thereby created may, at the discretion of the Board, not be considered to
have been created by exemption with regard to the four (4) lot, parcel, interest or dwelling
unit limitation otherwise applicable. For the purposes of definition, all tracts of land 35 acres
or greater in size, created after January 1, 1973 will count as parcels of land created by
exemption since January 1, 1973
• •
B. All Garfield County zoning requirements will be met; and
C. All lots created will have legal access to a public right-of-way and any necessary access
easements have been obtained or are in the process of being obtained; and
Provision has been made for an adequate source of water in terms of both the legal and
physical quality, quantity and dependability, and a suitable type of sewage disposal to
serve each proposed lot. Proof of a legal supply shall be an approved substitute water
supply plan contract; augmentation plan; an approved well permit; legally adjudicated
domestic water source or a contract for a permanent legal supply of domestic water to be
hauled from an outside site for a cistern. Proof of the physical supply from a well for the
public meeting, may be documentation from the Division of Water Resources that
demonstrates that there are wells with 1/4 mile of the site producing at least five (5)
gallons/minute. Prior to the signing of a plat, all physical water supplies using a well shall
demonstrate the following:
1) That a four (4) hour pump test be performed on the well to be used;
2) A well completion report demonstrating the depth of the well, the
characteristics of the aquifer and the static water level;
3) The results of the four (4) hour pump test indicating the pumping rate in
gallons per minute and information showing drawdown and recharge;
4) A written opinion of the person conducting the well test that this well
should be adequate to supply water to the number of proposed lots;
5) An assumption of an average or no less than 3.5 people per dwelling unit,
using 100 gallons of water per person, per day;
6) If the well is to be shared, a legal, well sharing agreement which discusses
all easements and costs associated with the operation and maintenance of
the system and who will be responsible for paying these costs and how
assessments will be made for these costs.
7) The water quality be tested by an approved testing laboratory and meet
State guidelines concerning bacteria and nitrates.
For water supplies based on the use of cistern, the tank shall be a minimum of
1000 gallons.
Method of sewage disposal, and a letter of approval of the fire protection plan from the
appropriate fire district; and
F. All state and local environmental health and safety requirements have been met or are in
the process of being met; and
G. Provision has been made for any required road or storm drainage improvements; and
H. Fire protection has been approved by the appropriate fire district; and
•
• •
I. Any necessary drainage, irrigation or utility easements have been obtained or are in the
process of being obtained; and
J. School fees, taxes and special assessments have been paid.
(The school impact fee is $200.00 for each lot created)
PROCEDURES
A. A request for exemption shall be submitted to the Board on forms provided by the
Garfield County Planning Department. Two (2) copies of the application, maps and
supplemental information shall be submitted.
B The Planning Department shall review the exemption request for completeness within
eight (8) days of submittal. If incomplete, the application shall be withdrawn from
consideration and the applicant notified of the additional information needed. If the
application is complete, the applicant shall be notified in writing of the time and place of
the Board of County Commissioners meeting at which the request shall be considered. In
either case, notification shall occur within fifteen (15) days of submittal.
C. Notice of the public meeting shall be mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, to
owners of record of land immediately adjoining and within 200 feet of the proposed
exemption, to mineral owners and lessees of mineral owners of record of the land proposed
for exemption, and to tenants of any structure proposed for conversion. The exemption site
shall be posted clearly and conspicuously visible from a public right-of-way with notice signs
provided by the Planning Department. All notices shall be mailed at least fifteen (15) and not
more than thirty (30) days prior to the meeting. The applicant shall be responsible for mailing
the notices and shall present proof of mailing at the meeting.
D. At or within fifteen (15) days of the meeting, the Board shall approve, conditionally
approve or deny the exemption request. The reasons for denial or any conditions of
approval shall be set forth in the minutes of the meeting or in a written resolution. An
applicant denied exemption shall follow the subdivision procedures in these regulations.

RE: Simon Subdivision Exemption/Amended Plat of a Portion of Peach Valley Orchard
Subdivision
Dear Mr. Barbee:
I have been requested by my client, David Hicks, to submit the following documents to you
in connection with the referenced applications:
1. Well sharing provisions of the proposed Declarations for the Simon
Subdivision Exemption (Article IX) and further provisions of the proposed Declarations which
restrict any amendment or modification of the Declarations with regard to the aforementioned well
sharing provisions without prior written approval of the County Commissioners.
2. Well sharing provisions of the proposed Declarations for the Amended Plat
of a Portion of Peach Valley Orchard Subdivision, these provisions again being under Article IX,
and provisions restricting amendment and modification of the well sharing provisions.
3. Results of 72 -hour well test conducted by Samuelson Pump Co., Inc. on the
Simon Well (erroneously referred to in the document as the "Simmons Well").
4. Water System Supply Requirements prepared by Water Resources
Consultants, LLC to confirm that the undivided interest in the water well being dedicated to the
Homeowners Associations in both the Simon Exemption and the Peach Valley Orchard Subdivision
is more than adequate to the purpose of providing a domestic water supply to all 18 lots. You will
note that this report refers to "Spruce Meadows" however, this is an erroneous reference to the above
referenced exemption and subdivision amendment.
• •
You have previously received the four plats fully executed which are necessary to the
procedure required by the County Commissioners and it is the Declarant's intention to present the
complete and executed Declarations for the amended subdivision and the sijbdivision exemption at
the Commissioners' meeting on March 15, 1999.
Please let me know if you have any questions at all in connection with' the enclosed or any
aspect of the proceeding.
Yours very truly,
Gerald D. Hartert

R.E. Well Test Simmons Well
Attn; David
On February 2 Thru 5, 1999 a 72 hr. well test was conducted
on the Simmons Well. The following information was obtained;
Well Depth 21'-0"
Casing hand dug well
Standing water level 8'-0"
Total test time 72 hrs.
Max drawdown at 33 gpm 12'-1 1/2"
Production is greater than 33 gpm.
This test was conducted with a 3 hp. Sta-Rite submersible
Model 40P. The test was started at 60 gpm_ The flow was
adjusted back to 42.85 gpm at 40 min. The water level declined
to 15'-6" at 6 hrs. At 6 hrs. the flow rate was reduced to
33 gpm for the remainder of the test. The well during the
remainder of the test recovered back to 12'-1 1/2". This would
indicate a total production between 33 to 43 gpm. The well
recovered back to 9'-0" in 30 min. If you have questions please
call me Raun Samuelson at 945-6309.
Sincerely;
Raun Samuelson

RE: Sinnott Subdivision Exemption and Plat Amendment of Peach Valley Orchard Subdivision
Dear Mr. batt,
I am submitting four plats for review by your staff for the February 1` hearing before the County
Commissioners. Two plats concern the Simon Subdivision Exemption and two plats concern the Peach
Valley Orchard Subdivision.
The 72 -hour well to is scheduled to be conducted starting February 21'd by Samuelson Pump Company.
Water resource engineer Paul Currier has submitted an application to the West Divide Water Conservancy
District to lease water to cover the expansion of the existing use of the historic well. I have attached a copy
of the application to West Divide W.C.D. along with the usage calculations provided by Paul Currier, PE.
Attorney Gerald Hastert is preparing the well sharing agreement which will state that I will retain
ownership of the well, since it also serves the large lot that is the ranch Each lot owner will be provided
domestic water from the well with the stipulation that when the lot owner has connected to a central water
supply they will relinquish all rights to water from my well.
I have also attached a copy of the letter from Sean Mello, Captain of the Burning Mountain Firc Protection
District, confirming that both of these subdivisions are within their protection district.
I am requesting that the requirement for a 20 -year conservation easement be removed for two reasons.
First, the mortgage holder has mused to allow me to burden the Large parcel that I intend to keep for
ranching with a 20 -year conservation easement until I have retired their mortgage. Second, if rhe
conservation easement is required then I can not claim a charitable contribution for providing the easement
I am submitting this with a fixed signature and I will follow with a signed original by U. S. Mail. Please
call me if you have any questions.

RE: Application for Water Contract
Dave and Connie Hicks
Gentlemen:
970 963 2140 P.03
January 20, 1999
Enclosed are completed forms for a WDWCD contract for Mr. and Mrs. Dave and Connie Hick&
As the agent for the Hicks, I have enclosed the fdlowing:
• Two completed and notarized copies of the WDWCD 'Water Allotment Contract
Lease,'
• Two completed "Application and Data Forrn to Lease Water from WDWCD,' and,
• A check for $231.00 for the administration and recording fees.
Mr. and Mrs. Hidcs are requesting a contract for in-house use only for 17 homes for a parcel of
ground north of Silt (Figure 1). An existing well and other irrigation rights on the property provide
irrigation water. Therefore, this application is for in-house use only.
The existing wall on the property was adjudicated In 1910 for 49 gpm domestic and irrigation use.
Since it is our understanding that the well has historically served one home, it is our belief that
increased in-house use caused by additional residences will be considered an expansion of use
and will not be protected by the Green Mountain Reservoir Historic User Pool. Thus, a contract is
being requested to supply the in-house needs only for 17 homes.
Should you have any questions or comments regarding this application, please do not hesitate to
contact me.
Sincerely,
Paul C. Currier, P.E.
