Description

Water table refers lo a saturated zone in the soil It occurs during specified months Estimates of the upper Ifmit are based mainly on observations of the water table at selected sites and on evidence of a saturated zone namely grayish colors (redoximorphic features) in the soil Asaturaled zone that lasts for less than amonth is not considered a water table

This attnoute is actually recorded as lhree separate values in the database A low value and a high value indicate the range of Ihis attribute for the soil component A representativebull value indicales the expected value of this attribute for the component For this soil property only the representative value is used

Physical Soil Properties

This table shows estimates ofsome physical characteristics and features that affect soil behavior These estimates are given for the layers of each soil in the survey area The estimates are based on field observations and on test data for these and similar soils

Depth to the upper and lower boundaries ofeach layer is indicated

Partide size is the effective diameter of a soil particle as measured by sedimentation sieving or micrometric methods Partide sizes are expressed as classes with specific effective diameter class limits The broad classes are sand silt and day ranging from the larger to the smaller

Sand as a soil separate consists ofmineral soli partides that are 005 millimeter to 2 millimeters In diameter In this table the estimated sand content ofeach soil layer is given asa percentage by weight of the soil material that is less than 2 millimeters in diameter

Silt as a soil separate consists of mineral soil particles that are 0002 to 005 millimeter in diameter In this table the estimated silt content of each soil layer is given as a percentage by weight of the soil materiallhallsless than 2 millimeters in diameter

Clay as a soil separate consists of mineral soil particles that are less than 0002 millimeter in diameter In this table the estimated clay content of each soil layer is given as a percentage by weight of the soil material that is less than 2 millimeters in diameter

The content of sand silt and clay affects the physical behavior ofa soil Particle size is important for engineering and agronomic interpretations for detellllination of soil hydrologic qualities and tor soil dassification

The amount and kind ofclay affect the fertility and physical condition of the soil and the ability of the soil to adsorb cations and to retain moisture They influence shrinkshyswell potential saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) plasticity the ease of soil dispersion ancl other soil properties The amount and kind of day 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 that is the moisture content at 13- or 110-bar (33kPa or 1 OkPa) moisture tension Weight is detellllined after the soil is dried at 105 degrees C In the table the estimated moist bulk Clensity of each soil horizon is expressed in grams per cubic centimeter ofsoil material that is less than 2 millimeters in diameter Bulk density data are used to compute linear extensibility shrink-swell potential available water capacity total pore space and other soil properties The moist bulk density ofa soil indicates the pore space available for water and roots Depending onsoil texture a bulkdensity ofmore than 14 can restrict water storage and root penetraUon Moist bulk density is Influenced by texture kind of clay content of organic matter and soil structure

Saturated hydraulic conductivily (Ksal) refers to lhe ease with which pores in a saturated solltransmil water The estimates in the table are expressed In terms of micrometers per second They are based on soil characteristics observea in the field particularly structure porosity and texture Saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) is considered In the design of soft drainage systems and septic tank absorption fields

Avsisblamp water capacity refers to the qua nifty 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 ofsoil for eacn soil layer The capacity varies depending on soil properties lhat affect retention of water The most Important properties are the content of organic matter soil tegtltture bulk density and soil structure Available watercapacity is an important factor in the choice ofplants 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

Linear extensibility refers to the change in length ofan unconfined clod as moisture content Is decreased from a moist to a dry state It is an expression of the volume change between the water content of the clod at 113middot or 111 Omiddotbar tension (33kPa or 1OkPa tension) and oven dryness Tne volume change is reported in the table as percent change for the whole soil The amount and type ofclay minerals in the soil Influence volume change

Linear extensibility is used to determine the shrink-swell potential of soils The shrink-swell potential is low if the soil has a linear extensibility ofless than 3 percent moderate lf3 to 6 percent high if6 to 9 percent and very high ifmore than 9 percent If the linear extensibility is more than 3 shrinking and swelling can cause damage to buildings roads and other structures and to plant roots Special design commonly is needed

Organic matter is the plant and animal residue in the soil at various stages of decomposition In this table the estimated oontent 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 ma~er in a soil can be maintained by returning crop residue to the soil

Organic matter has a positive effect on available water capacity water infiltration soU organism activity and tilth It Is a source ofnltrogen and other nutrients for crops and soil organisms

Erosion factors are shown in the table as the K factor (Kw and Kt) and the T factor Erosion factor K indicates the susceptibility ofa soil to sheet and rill erosion by water Factor K is one ofsix factors used in the Universal Soil loss Equation (USLE) and the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) to predict the average annual rate of soil loss by sheet and rill erosion in tons per acre per year The estimates are based primarily on percentage of sill sand and organic matter and on soil structure and Ksat Values of K range from 002 to 069 Other factors being equal the higher the value the more susceptible the soil is to sheet and rill erosion by water

Erosion factorKw indicates the erodibility of the whole soil The estimates are modified by the presence of rock fragments

Erosion factor Kf indicates the erodibility of the fine-earth fraction or the material less than 2 millimeters in size

Erosion faclor Tis an esijmale of the maximum average annual rate ofsoil erosion by wind andor water that can occur without affecting ClOP productivity over a sustained period The rate is in tons per acre per year

IMnd erodibility grovps are made up of soils that have similar properties affecting their susceptibility to wind erosion in cuHivated areas The soils assigned to group 1are the most susceptible to wind erosion and those assigned to group 8 are the least susceptible The groups are described in the National Soil Survey Handbook

Water Features

This table gives estimates of various soil water features The estimates a1e used in land use planning that Involves engineering considerations

Hydrologic soilgroups are based on estimates of runoff potential Soils are assigned to one of four groups according to the rate of water infiltration when the soils are not protected tgty vegetation are thoroughly wet and receive precipitatior frcom long-duration storms

The four hydrologic soit g1oups are

Group A Soils having a high infiltration rate tow runoff potertial) when thoroughly wet These consist mainly of deep well drained to e)(cessively 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 ofmoderately deep or deep moderately well drained orwell drained soils that have moderately line texture to moderately ooarse 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 ofwater or soils ofmoderately 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 ofclays that have a high shrink-swell potential soils that have a high water table soils that have a claypan or clay layer at or near the surface and soils that are shallow over nearty impervious matenal These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission

If a soil is assigned to a dual hydrologic group (NO BID or CD) the first letter is tor drained areas and the second is for undrained areas

Surface runoff refers to the loss ofwater from an area by flow over the land surface Surface runoff classes are based on slope climate and vegetative cover The concept Indicates relative runoff for very specific oonditions Jt is assumed that the surface of the soil is bare and that the re~ntion of surface water resulting from irregulanties in the ground surface is mirlmal The classes are negligible very low low medium high and very high

The months in the table indicate lhe portion of the year in which a water table ponding andor flooding is most likelY to be a concern

Wetltlrtable refers to a saturated zone in the soil The water features table indicates by month depth to the top (upperimi() and base (lower limit) of the saturated zone in most years Estimates of tile upper and lower limits are based mainly on observations of the water table at selected sites and on evidence of a saturated zone namely grayish ccolors or mollfes (redoximorphic features) in the soli A saturated zone that lasts for less than a month Is not considered a water table

Ponding is standing water in a dosed depression Unless a drainage system is installed the water is removed only by peroolation transpiration or evaporation The table indicates surtece water depth and the duratiOtl and frequency ofponding Duration is expressed as very briefif tess than 2 days brief if 2 to 7 days long if 7 to 30 days and very long if more than 30 days Frequency is expressed as none rare occasional and frequent None means that pondlng Is not probable rare that il is unliKely but possible under unusual weather conditions (the chance ofponding Is nearly 0 percent to S percent in any year) occasional that it occurs on the average once or less In 2 years (the chance of ponding is 5 to 50 percent in any year) and frequent that it occurs on the average more than once in 2 years (the chance of ponding is more than 50 percent in any year)

Flooding is the temporary inundation ofan area 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 and water standing in swamps and marshes is oonsidered ponding rather than flooding

Duration and frequency are estimated Duration is expressed as extremely btiefif 01 hour to 4 hours very brief if4 hours to 2 days briefif 2 to 7 days long if 7 to 30 days and very long it more than 30 days Frequency Is expressed as none very rare rare occasional frequent and very frequent None means that flooding is not probable very rare that it is very unlikely but possible under extremely unusual weather conditions (the chance of flooding is less than 1 percent In any year) rare that it is unlikely but possible under unusual weather conditions (the chance of flooding is 1 to 5 percent in any year) occasional that it ocours infrequently undel normal weather oondillons (the chance of flooding is 5 to 50 percent in any year) frequent that it Is likely to occur often under nonnat weather conditions (the chance of flooding is more than 50 percent in any year but is tess than 50 percent in all months in any year) and very frequent that it is likely to occur very often under normal weather conditions (the chance of flooding is more than SO percent in all months ofarw year)

The information is based on evidence in the soil profile namely thin strata ofgravel sand sill or clay deposited by floodwater irregular decrease In o~anic matter content with increasing depth and little or no hOrizon development

Also considered are local information about the extent and levels of flooding and the relation ofeach soil on the landscape to historic floods Information on the extent of nooding based on soit data is less specific than that providelt by detailed engineering surveys that delineate flood-prone areas at specific flood frequency levels

This table shows estimates ofsome physical characteristics and features that affect soil behavior These estimates are given for the layers of each soil in the survey area The estimates are based on field observations and on test data for these and similar soils

Depth to the upper and lower boundaries ofeach layer is indicated

Partide size is the effective diameter of a soil particle as measured by sedimentation sieving or micrometric methods Partide sizes are expressed as classes with specific effective diameter class limits The broad classes are sand silt and day ranging from the larger to the smaller

Sand as a soil separate consists ofmineral soli partides that are 005 millimeter to 2 millimeters In diameter In this table the estimated sand content ofeach soil layer is given asa percentage by weight of the soil material that is less than 2 millimeters in diameter

Silt as a soil separate consists of mineral soil particles that are 0002 to 005 millimeter in diameter In this table the estimated silt content of each soil layer is given as a percentage by weight of the soil materiallhallsless than 2 millimeters in diameter

Clay as a soil separate consists of mineral soil particles that are less than 0002 millimeter in diameter In this table the estimated clay content of each soil layer is given as a percentage by weight of the soil material that is less than 2 millimeters in diameter

The content of sand silt and clay affects the physical behavior ofa soil Particle size is important for engineering and agronomic interpretations for detellllination of soil hydrologic qualities and tor soil dassification

The amount and kind ofclay affect the fertility and physical condition of the soil and the ability of the soil to adsorb cations and to retain moisture They influence shrinkshyswell potential saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) plasticity the ease of soil dispersion ancl other soil properties The amount and kind of day 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 that is the moisture content at 13- or 110-bar (33kPa or 1 OkPa) moisture tension Weight is detellllined after the soil is dried at 105 degrees C In the table the estimated moist bulk Clensity of each soil horizon is expressed in grams per cubic centimeter ofsoil material that is less than 2 millimeters in diameter Bulk density data are used to compute linear extensibility shrink-swell potential available water capacity total pore space and other soil properties The moist bulk density ofa soil indicates the pore space available for water and roots Depending onsoil texture a bulkdensity ofmore than 14 can restrict water storage and root penetraUon Moist bulk density is Influenced by texture kind of clay content of organic matter and soil structure

Saturated hydraulic conductivily (Ksal) refers to lhe ease with which pores in a saturated solltransmil water The estimates in the table are expressed In terms of micrometers per second They are based on soil characteristics observea in the field particularly structure porosity and texture Saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) is considered In the design of soft drainage systems and septic tank absorption fields

Avsisblamp water capacity refers to the qua nifty 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 ofsoil for eacn soil layer The capacity varies depending on soil properties lhat affect retention of water The most Important properties are the content of organic matter soil tegtltture bulk density and soil structure Available watercapacity is an important factor in the choice ofplants 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

Linear extensibility refers to the change in length ofan unconfined clod as moisture content Is decreased from a moist to a dry state It is an expression of the volume change between the water content of the clod at 113middot or 111 Omiddotbar tension (33kPa or 1OkPa tension) and oven dryness Tne volume change is reported in the table as percent change for the whole soil The amount and type ofclay minerals in the soil Influence volume change

Linear extensibility is used to determine the shrink-swell potential of soils The shrink-swell potential is low if the soil has a linear extensibility ofless than 3 percent moderate lf3 to 6 percent high if6 to 9 percent and very high ifmore than 9 percent If the linear extensibility is more than 3 shrinking and swelling can cause damage to buildings roads and other structures and to plant roots Special design commonly is needed

Organic matter is the plant and animal residue in the soil at various stages of decomposition In this table the estimated oontent 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 ma~er in a soil can be maintained by returning crop residue to the soil

Organic matter has a positive effect on available water capacity water infiltration soU organism activity and tilth It Is a source ofnltrogen and other nutrients for crops and soil organisms

Erosion factors are shown in the table as the K factor (Kw and Kt) and the T factor Erosion factor K indicates the susceptibility ofa soil to sheet and rill erosion by water Factor K is one ofsix factors used in the Universal Soil loss Equation (USLE) and the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) to predict the average annual rate of soil loss by sheet and rill erosion in tons per acre per year The estimates are based primarily on percentage of sill sand and organic matter and on soil structure and Ksat Values of K range from 002 to 069 Other factors being equal the higher the value the more susceptible the soil is to sheet and rill erosion by water

Erosion factorKw indicates the erodibility of the whole soil The estimates are modified by the presence of rock fragments

Erosion factor Kf indicates the erodibility of the fine-earth fraction or the material less than 2 millimeters in size

Erosion faclor Tis an esijmale of the maximum average annual rate ofsoil erosion by wind andor water that can occur without affecting ClOP productivity over a sustained period The rate is in tons per acre per year

IMnd erodibility grovps are made up of soils that have similar properties affecting their susceptibility to wind erosion in cuHivated areas The soils assigned to group 1are the most susceptible to wind erosion and those assigned to group 8 are the least susceptible The groups are described in the National Soil Survey Handbook

Water Features

This table gives estimates of various soil water features The estimates a1e used in land use planning that Involves engineering considerations

Hydrologic soilgroups are based on estimates of runoff potential Soils are assigned to one of four groups according to the rate of water infiltration when the soils are not protected tgty vegetation are thoroughly wet and receive precipitatior frcom long-duration storms

The four hydrologic soit g1oups are

Group A Soils having a high infiltration rate tow runoff potertial) when thoroughly wet These consist mainly of deep well drained to e)(cessively 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 ofmoderately deep or deep moderately well drained orwell drained soils that have moderately line texture to moderately ooarse 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 ofwater or soils ofmoderately 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 ofclays that have a high shrink-swell potential soils that have a high water table soils that have a claypan or clay layer at or near the surface and soils that are shallow over nearty impervious matenal These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission

If a soil is assigned to a dual hydrologic group (NO BID or CD) the first letter is tor drained areas and the second is for undrained areas

Surface runoff refers to the loss ofwater from an area by flow over the land surface Surface runoff classes are based on slope climate and vegetative cover The concept Indicates relative runoff for very specific oonditions Jt is assumed that the surface of the soil is bare and that the re~ntion of surface water resulting from irregulanties in the ground surface is mirlmal The classes are negligible very low low medium high and very high

The months in the table indicate lhe portion of the year in which a water table ponding andor flooding is most likelY to be a concern

Wetltlrtable refers to a saturated zone in the soil The water features table indicates by month depth to the top (upperimi() and base (lower limit) of the saturated zone in most years Estimates of tile upper and lower limits are based mainly on observations of the water table at selected sites and on evidence of a saturated zone namely grayish ccolors or mollfes (redoximorphic features) in the soli A saturated zone that lasts for less than a month Is not considered a water table

Ponding is standing water in a dosed depression Unless a drainage system is installed the water is removed only by peroolation transpiration or evaporation The table indicates surtece water depth and the duratiOtl and frequency ofponding Duration is expressed as very briefif tess than 2 days brief if 2 to 7 days long if 7 to 30 days and very long if more than 30 days Frequency is expressed as none rare occasional and frequent None means that pondlng Is not probable rare that il is unliKely but possible under unusual weather conditions (the chance ofponding Is nearly 0 percent to S percent in any year) occasional that it occurs on the average once or less In 2 years (the chance of ponding is 5 to 50 percent in any year) and frequent that it occurs on the average more than once in 2 years (the chance of ponding is more than 50 percent in any year)

Flooding is the temporary inundation ofan area 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 and water standing in swamps and marshes is oonsidered ponding rather than flooding

Duration and frequency are estimated Duration is expressed as extremely btiefif 01 hour to 4 hours very brief if4 hours to 2 days briefif 2 to 7 days long if 7 to 30 days and very long it more than 30 days Frequency Is expressed as none very rare rare occasional frequent and very frequent None means that flooding is not probable very rare that it is very unlikely but possible under extremely unusual weather conditions (the chance of flooding is less than 1 percent In any year) rare that it is unlikely but possible under unusual weather conditions (the chance of flooding is 1 to 5 percent in any year) occasional that it ocours infrequently undel normal weather oondillons (the chance of flooding is 5 to 50 percent in any year) frequent that it Is likely to occur often under nonnat weather conditions (the chance of flooding is more than 50 percent in any year but is tess than 50 percent in all months in any year) and very frequent that it is likely to occur very often under normal weather conditions (the chance of flooding is more than SO percent in all months ofarw year)

The information is based on evidence in the soil profile namely thin strata ofgravel sand sill or clay deposited by floodwater irregular decrease In o~anic matter content with increasing depth and little or no hOrizon development

Also considered are local information about the extent and levels of flooding and the relation ofeach soil on the landscape to historic floods Information on the extent of nooding based on soit data is less specific than that providelt by detailed engineering surveys that delineate flood-prone areas at specific flood frequency levels

Description

Water table refers lo a saturated zone in the soil It occurs during specified months Estimates of the upper Ifmit are based mainly on observations of the water table at selected sites and on evidence of a saturated zone namely grayish colors (redoximorphic features) in the soil Asaturaled zone that lasts for less than amonth is not considered a water table

This attnoute is actually recorded as lhree separate values in the database A low value and a high value indicate the range of Ihis attribute for the soil component A representativebull value indicales the expected value of this attribute for the component For this soil property only the representative value is used

Physical Soil Properties

This table shows estimates ofsome physical characteristics and features that affect soil behavior These estimates are given for the layers of each soil in the survey area The estimates are based on field observations and on test data for these and similar soils

Depth to the upper and lower boundaries ofeach layer is indicated

Partide size is the effective diameter of a soil particle as measured by sedimentation sieving or micrometric methods Partide sizes are expressed as classes with specific effective diameter class limits The broad classes are sand silt and day ranging from the larger to the smaller

Sand as a soil separate consists ofmineral soli partides that are 005 millimeter to 2 millimeters In diameter In this table the estimated sand content ofeach soil layer is given asa percentage by weight of the soil material that is less than 2 millimeters in diameter

Silt as a soil separate consists of mineral soil particles that are 0002 to 005 millimeter in diameter In this table the estimated silt content of each soil layer is given as a percentage by weight of the soil materiallhallsless than 2 millimeters in diameter

Clay as a soil separate consists of mineral soil particles that are less than 0002 millimeter in diameter In this table the estimated clay content of each soil layer is given as a percentage by weight of the soil material that is less than 2 millimeters in diameter

The content of sand silt and clay affects the physical behavior ofa soil Particle size is important for engineering and agronomic interpretations for detellllination of soil hydrologic qualities and tor soil dassification

The amount and kind ofclay affect the fertility and physical condition of the soil and the ability of the soil to adsorb cations and to retain moisture They influence shrinkshyswell potential saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) plasticity the ease of soil dispersion ancl other soil properties The amount and kind of day 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 that is the moisture content at 13- or 110-bar (33kPa or 1 OkPa) moisture tension Weight is detellllined after the soil is dried at 105 degrees C In the table the estimated moist bulk Clensity of each soil horizon is expressed in grams per cubic centimeter ofsoil material that is less than 2 millimeters in diameter Bulk density data are used to compute linear extensibility shrink-swell potential available water capacity total pore space and other soil properties The moist bulk density ofa soil indicates the pore space available for water and roots Depending onsoil texture a bulkdensity ofmore than 14 can restrict water storage and root penetraUon Moist bulk density is Influenced by texture kind of clay content of organic matter and soil structure

Saturated hydraulic conductivily (Ksal) refers to lhe ease with which pores in a saturated solltransmil water The estimates in the table are expressed In terms of micrometers per second They are based on soil characteristics observea in the field particularly structure porosity and texture Saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) is considered In the design of soft drainage systems and septic tank absorption fields

Avsisblamp water capacity refers to the qua nifty 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 ofsoil for eacn soil layer The capacity varies depending on soil properties lhat affect retention of water The most Important properties are the content of organic matter soil tegtltture bulk density and soil structure Available watercapacity is an important factor in the choice ofplants 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

Linear extensibility refers to the change in length ofan unconfined clod as moisture content Is decreased from a moist to a dry state It is an expression of the volume change between the water content of the clod at 113middot or 111 Omiddotbar tension (33kPa or 1OkPa tension) and oven dryness Tne volume change is reported in the table as percent change for the whole soil The amount and type ofclay minerals in the soil Influence volume change

Linear extensibility is used to determine the shrink-swell potential of soils The shrink-swell potential is low if the soil has a linear extensibility ofless than 3 percent moderate lf3 to 6 percent high if6 to 9 percent and very high ifmore than 9 percent If the linear extensibility is more than 3 shrinking and swelling can cause damage to buildings roads and other structures and to plant roots Special design commonly is needed

Organic matter is the plant and animal residue in the soil at various stages of decomposition In this table the estimated oontent 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 ma~er in a soil can be maintained by returning crop residue to the soil

Organic matter has a positive effect on available water capacity water infiltration soU organism activity and tilth It Is a source ofnltrogen and other nutrients for crops and soil organisms

Erosion factors are shown in the table as the K factor (Kw and Kt) and the T factor Erosion factor K indicates the susceptibility ofa soil to sheet and rill erosion by water Factor K is one ofsix factors used in the Universal Soil loss Equation (USLE) and the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) to predict the average annual rate of soil loss by sheet and rill erosion in tons per acre per year The estimates are based primarily on percentage of sill sand and organic matter and on soil structure and Ksat Values of K range from 002 to 069 Other factors being equal the higher the value the more susceptible the soil is to sheet and rill erosion by water

Erosion factorKw indicates the erodibility of the whole soil The estimates are modified by the presence of rock fragments

Erosion factor Kf indicates the erodibility of the fine-earth fraction or the material less than 2 millimeters in size

Erosion faclor Tis an esijmale of the maximum average annual rate ofsoil erosion by wind andor water that can occur without affecting ClOP productivity over a sustained period The rate is in tons per acre per year

IMnd erodibility grovps are made up of soils that have similar properties affecting their susceptibility to wind erosion in cuHivated areas The soils assigned to group 1are the most susceptible to wind erosion and those assigned to group 8 are the least susceptible The groups are described in the National Soil Survey Handbook

Water Features

This table gives estimates of various soil water features The estimates a1e used in land use planning that Involves engineering considerations

Hydrologic soilgroups are based on estimates of runoff potential Soils are assigned to one of four groups according to the rate of water infiltration when the soils are not protected tgty vegetation are thoroughly wet and receive precipitatior frcom long-duration storms

The four hydrologic soit g1oups are

Group A Soils having a high infiltration rate tow runoff potertial) when thoroughly wet These consist mainly of deep well drained to e)(cessively 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 ofmoderately deep or deep moderately well drained orwell drained soils that have moderately line texture to moderately ooarse 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 ofwater or soils ofmoderately 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 ofclays that have a high shrink-swell potential soils that have a high water table soils that have a claypan or clay layer at or near the surface and soils that are shallow over nearty impervious matenal These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission

If a soil is assigned to a dual hydrologic group (NO BID or CD) the first letter is tor drained areas and the second is for undrained areas

Surface runoff refers to the loss ofwater from an area by flow over the land surface Surface runoff classes are based on slope climate and vegetative cover The concept Indicates relative runoff for very specific oonditions Jt is assumed that the surface of the soil is bare and that the re~ntion of surface water resulting from irregulanties in the ground surface is mirlmal The classes are negligible very low low medium high and very high

The months in the table indicate lhe portion of the year in which a water table ponding andor flooding is most likelY to be a concern

Wetltlrtable refers to a saturated zone in the soil The water features table indicates by month depth to the top (upperimi() and base (lower limit) of the saturated zone in most years Estimates of tile upper and lower limits are based mainly on observations of the water table at selected sites and on evidence of a saturated zone namely grayish ccolors or mollfes (redoximorphic features) in the soli A saturated zone that lasts for less than a month Is not considered a water table

Ponding is standing water in a dosed depression Unless a drainage system is installed the water is removed only by peroolation transpiration or evaporation The table indicates surtece water depth and the duratiOtl and frequency ofponding Duration is expressed as very briefif tess than 2 days brief if 2 to 7 days long if 7 to 30 days and very long if more than 30 days Frequency is expressed as none rare occasional and frequent None means that pondlng Is not probable rare that il is unliKely but possible under unusual weather conditions (the chance ofponding Is nearly 0 percent to S percent in any year) occasional that it occurs on the average once or less In 2 years (the chance of ponding is 5 to 50 percent in any year) and frequent that it occurs on the average more than once in 2 years (the chance of ponding is more than 50 percent in any year)

Flooding is the temporary inundation ofan area 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 and water standing in swamps and marshes is oonsidered ponding rather than flooding

Duration and frequency are estimated Duration is expressed as extremely btiefif 01 hour to 4 hours very brief if4 hours to 2 days briefif 2 to 7 days long if 7 to 30 days and very long it more than 30 days Frequency Is expressed as none very rare rare occasional frequent and very frequent None means that flooding is not probable very rare that it is very unlikely but possible under extremely unusual weather conditions (the chance of flooding is less than 1 percent In any year) rare that it is unlikely but possible under unusual weather conditions (the chance of flooding is 1 to 5 percent in any year) occasional that it ocours infrequently undel normal weather oondillons (the chance of flooding is 5 to 50 percent in any year) frequent that it Is likely to occur often under nonnat weather conditions (the chance of flooding is more than 50 percent in any year but is tess than 50 percent in all months in any year) and very frequent that it is likely to occur very often under normal weather conditions (the chance of flooding is more than SO percent in all months ofarw year)

The information is based on evidence in the soil profile namely thin strata ofgravel sand sill or clay deposited by floodwater irregular decrease In o~anic matter content with increasing depth and little or no hOrizon development

Also considered are local information about the extent and levels of flooding and the relation ofeach soil on the landscape to historic floods Information on the extent of nooding based on soit data is less specific than that providelt by detailed engineering surveys that delineate flood-prone areas at specific flood frequency levels

Description

Water table refers lo a saturated zone in the soil It occurs during specified months Estimates of the upper Ifmit are based mainly on observations of the water table at selected sites and on evidence of a saturated zone namely grayish colors (redoximorphic features) in the soil Asaturaled zone that lasts for less than amonth is not considered a water table

This attnoute is actually recorded as lhree separate values in the database A low value and a high value indicate the range of Ihis attribute for the soil component A representativebull value indicales the expected value of this attribute for the component For this soil property only the representative value is used

Physical Soil Properties

This table shows estimates ofsome physical characteristics and features that affect soil behavior These estimates are given for the layers of each soil in the survey area The estimates are based on field observations and on test data for these and similar soils

Depth to the upper and lower boundaries ofeach layer is indicated

Partide size is the effective diameter of a soil particle as measured by sedimentation sieving or micrometric methods Partide sizes are expressed as classes with specific effective diameter class limits The broad classes are sand silt and day ranging from the larger to the smaller

Sand as a soil separate consists ofmineral soli partides that are 005 millimeter to 2 millimeters In diameter In this table the estimated sand content ofeach soil layer is given asa percentage by weight of the soil material that is less than 2 millimeters in diameter

Silt as a soil separate consists of mineral soil particles that are 0002 to 005 millimeter in diameter In this table the estimated silt content of each soil layer is given as a percentage by weight of the soil materiallhallsless than 2 millimeters in diameter

Clay as a soil separate consists of mineral soil particles that are less than 0002 millimeter in diameter In this table the estimated clay content of each soil layer is given as a percentage by weight of the soil material that is less than 2 millimeters in diameter

The content of sand silt and clay affects the physical behavior ofa soil Particle size is important for engineering and agronomic interpretations for detellllination of soil hydrologic qualities and tor soil dassification

The amount and kind ofclay affect the fertility and physical condition of the soil and the ability of the soil to adsorb cations and to retain moisture They influence shrinkshyswell potential saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) plasticity the ease of soil dispersion ancl other soil properties The amount and kind of day 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 that is the moisture content at 13- or 110-bar (33kPa or 1 OkPa) moisture tension Weight is detellllined after the soil is dried at 105 degrees C In the table the estimated moist bulk Clensity of each soil horizon is expressed in grams per cubic centimeter ofsoil material that is less than 2 millimeters in diameter Bulk density data are used to compute linear extensibility shrink-swell potential available water capacity total pore space and other soil properties The moist bulk density ofa soil indicates the pore space available for water and roots Depending onsoil texture a bulkdensity ofmore than 14 can restrict water storage and root penetraUon Moist bulk density is Influenced by texture kind of clay content of organic matter and soil structure

Saturated hydraulic conductivily (Ksal) refers to lhe ease with which pores in a saturated solltransmil water The estimates in the table are expressed In terms of micrometers per second They are based on soil characteristics observea in the field particularly structure porosity and texture Saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) is considered In the design of soft drainage systems and septic tank absorption fields

Avsisblamp water capacity refers to the qua nifty 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 ofsoil for eacn soil layer The capacity varies depending on soil properties lhat affect retention of water The most Important properties are the content of organic matter soil tegtltture bulk density and soil structure Available watercapacity is an important factor in the choice ofplants 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

Linear extensibility refers to the change in length ofan unconfined clod as moisture content Is decreased from a moist to a dry state It is an expression of the volume change between the water content of the clod at 113middot or 111 Omiddotbar tension (33kPa or 1OkPa tension) and oven dryness Tne volume change is reported in the table as percent change for the whole soil The amount and type ofclay minerals in the soil Influence volume change

Linear extensibility is used to determine the shrink-swell potential of soils The shrink-swell potential is low if the soil has a linear extensibility ofless than 3 percent moderate lf3 to 6 percent high if6 to 9 percent and very high ifmore than 9 percent If the linear extensibility is more than 3 shrinking and swelling can cause damage to buildings roads and other structures and to plant roots Special design commonly is needed

Organic matter is the plant and animal residue in the soil at various stages of decomposition In this table the estimated oontent 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 ma~er in a soil can be maintained by returning crop residue to the soil

Organic matter has a positive effect on available water capacity water infiltration soU organism activity and tilth It Is a source ofnltrogen and other nutrients for crops and soil organisms

Erosion factors are shown in the table as the K factor (Kw and Kt) and the T factor Erosion factor K indicates the susceptibility ofa soil to sheet and rill erosion by water Factor K is one ofsix factors used in the Universal Soil loss Equation (USLE) and the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) to predict the average annual rate of soil loss by sheet and rill erosion in tons per acre per year The estimates are based primarily on percentage of sill sand and organic matter and on soil structure and Ksat Values of K range from 002 to 069 Other factors being equal the higher the value the more susceptible the soil is to sheet and rill erosion by water

Erosion factorKw indicates the erodibility of the whole soil The estimates are modified by the presence of rock fragments

Erosion factor Kf indicates the erodibility of the fine-earth fraction or the material less than 2 millimeters in size

Erosion faclor Tis an esijmale of the maximum average annual rate ofsoil erosion by wind andor water that can occur without affecting ClOP productivity over a sustained period The rate is in tons per acre per year

IMnd erodibility grovps are made up of soils that have similar properties affecting their susceptibility to wind erosion in cuHivated areas The soils assigned to group 1are the most susceptible to wind erosion and those assigned to group 8 are the least susceptible The groups are described in the National Soil Survey Handbook

Water Features

This table gives estimates of various soil water features The estimates a1e used in land use planning that Involves engineering considerations

Hydrologic soilgroups are based on estimates of runoff potential Soils are assigned to one of four groups according to the rate of water infiltration when the soils are not protected tgty vegetation are thoroughly wet and receive precipitatior frcom long-duration storms

The four hydrologic soit g1oups are

Group A Soils having a high infiltration rate tow runoff potertial) when thoroughly wet These consist mainly of deep well drained to e)(cessively 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 ofmoderately deep or deep moderately well drained orwell drained soils that have moderately line texture to moderately ooarse 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 ofwater or soils ofmoderately 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 ofclays that have a high shrink-swell potential soils that have a high water table soils that have a claypan or clay layer at or near the surface and soils that are shallow over nearty impervious matenal These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission

If a soil is assigned to a dual hydrologic group (NO BID or CD) the first letter is tor drained areas and the second is for undrained areas

Surface runoff refers to the loss ofwater from an area by flow over the land surface Surface runoff classes are based on slope climate and vegetative cover The concept Indicates relative runoff for very specific oonditions Jt is assumed that the surface of the soil is bare and that the re~ntion of surface water resulting from irregulanties in the ground surface is mirlmal The classes are negligible very low low medium high and very high

The months in the table indicate lhe portion of the year in which a water table ponding andor flooding is most likelY to be a concern

Wetltlrtable refers to a saturated zone in the soil The water features table indicates by month depth to the top (upperimi() and base (lower limit) of the saturated zone in most years Estimates of tile upper and lower limits are based mainly on observations of the water table at selected sites and on evidence of a saturated zone namely grayish ccolors or mollfes (redoximorphic features) in the soli A saturated zone that lasts for less than a month Is not considered a water table

Ponding is standing water in a dosed depression Unless a drainage system is installed the water is removed only by peroolation transpiration or evaporation The table indicates surtece water depth and the duratiOtl and frequency ofponding Duration is expressed as very briefif tess than 2 days brief if 2 to 7 days long if 7 to 30 days and very long if more than 30 days Frequency is expressed as none rare occasional and frequent None means that pondlng Is not probable rare that il is unliKely but possible under unusual weather conditions (the chance ofponding Is nearly 0 percent to S percent in any year) occasional that it occurs on the average once or less In 2 years (the chance of ponding is 5 to 50 percent in any year) and frequent that it occurs on the average more than once in 2 years (the chance of ponding is more than 50 percent in any year)

Flooding is the temporary inundation ofan area 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 and water standing in swamps and marshes is oonsidered ponding rather than flooding

Duration and frequency are estimated Duration is expressed as extremely btiefif 01 hour to 4 hours very brief if4 hours to 2 days briefif 2 to 7 days long if 7 to 30 days and very long it more than 30 days Frequency Is expressed as none very rare rare occasional frequent and very frequent None means that flooding is not probable very rare that it is very unlikely but possible under extremely unusual weather conditions (the chance of flooding is less than 1 percent In any year) rare that it is unlikely but possible under unusual weather conditions (the chance of flooding is 1 to 5 percent in any year) occasional that it ocours infrequently undel normal weather oondillons (the chance of flooding is 5 to 50 percent in any year) frequent that it Is likely to occur often under nonnat weather conditions (the chance of flooding is more than 50 percent in any year but is tess than 50 percent in all months in any year) and very frequent that it is likely to occur very often under normal weather conditions (the chance of flooding is more than SO percent in all months ofarw year)

The information is based on evidence in the soil profile namely thin strata ofgravel sand sill or clay deposited by floodwater irregular decrease In o~anic matter content with increasing depth and little or no hOrizon development

Also considered are local information about the extent and levels of flooding and the relation ofeach soil on the landscape to historic floods Information on the extent of nooding based on soit data is less specific than that providelt by detailed engineering surveys that delineate flood-prone areas at specific flood frequency levels

Physical Soil Properties

This table shows estimates ofsome physical characteristics and features that affect soil behavior These estimates are given for the layers of each soil in the survey area The estimates are based on field observations and on test data for these and similar soils

Depth to the upper and lower boundaries ofeach layer is indicated

Partide size is the effective diameter of a soil particle as measured by sedimentation sieving or micrometric methods Partide sizes are expressed as classes with specific effective diameter class limits The broad classes are sand silt and day ranging from the larger to the smaller

Sand as a soil separate consists ofmineral soli partides that are 005 millimeter to 2 millimeters In diameter In this table the estimated sand content ofeach soil layer is given asa percentage by weight of the soil material that is less than 2 millimeters in diameter

Silt as a soil separate consists of mineral soil particles that are 0002 to 005 millimeter in diameter In this table the estimated silt content of each soil layer is given as a percentage by weight of the soil materiallhallsless than 2 millimeters in diameter

Clay as a soil separate consists of mineral soil particles that are less than 0002 millimeter in diameter In this table the estimated clay content of each soil layer is given as a percentage by weight of the soil material that is less than 2 millimeters in diameter

The content of sand silt and clay affects the physical behavior ofa soil Particle size is important for engineering and agronomic interpretations for detellllination of soil hydrologic qualities and tor soil dassification

The amount and kind ofclay affect the fertility and physical condition of the soil and the ability of the soil to adsorb cations and to retain moisture They influence shrinkshyswell potential saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) plasticity the ease of soil dispersion ancl other soil properties The amount and kind of day 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 that is the moisture content at 13- or 110-bar (33kPa or 1 OkPa) moisture tension Weight is detellllined after the soil is dried at 105 degrees C In the table the estimated moist bulk Clensity of each soil horizon is expressed in grams per cubic centimeter ofsoil material that is less than 2 millimeters in diameter Bulk density data are used to compute linear extensibility shrink-swell potential available water capacity total pore space and other soil properties The moist bulk density ofa soil indicates the pore space available for water and roots Depending onsoil texture a bulkdensity ofmore than 14 can restrict water storage and root penetraUon Moist bulk density is Influenced by texture kind of clay content of organic matter and soil structure

Saturated hydraulic conductivily (Ksal) refers to lhe ease with which pores in a saturated solltransmil water The estimates in the table are expressed In terms of micrometers per second They are based on soil characteristics observea in the field particularly structure porosity and texture Saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) is considered In the design of soft drainage systems and septic tank absorption fields

Avsisblamp water capacity refers to the qua nifty 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 ofsoil for eacn soil layer The capacity varies depending on soil properties lhat affect retention of water The most Important properties are the content of organic matter soil tegtltture bulk density and soil structure Available watercapacity is an important factor in the choice ofplants 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

Linear extensibility refers to the change in length ofan unconfined clod as moisture content Is decreased from a moist to a dry state It is an expression of the volume change between the water content of the clod at 113middot or 111 Omiddotbar tension (33kPa or 1OkPa tension) and oven dryness Tne volume change is reported in the table as percent change for the whole soil The amount and type ofclay minerals in the soil Influence volume change

Linear extensibility is used to determine the shrink-swell potential of soils The shrink-swell potential is low if the soil has a linear extensibility ofless than 3 percent moderate lf3 to 6 percent high if6 to 9 percent and very high ifmore than 9 percent If the linear extensibility is more than 3 shrinking and swelling can cause damage to buildings roads and other structures and to plant roots Special design commonly is needed

Organic matter is the plant and animal residue in the soil at various stages of decomposition In this table the estimated oontent 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 ma~er in a soil can be maintained by returning crop residue to the soil

Organic matter has a positive effect on available water capacity water infiltration soU organism activity and tilth It Is a source ofnltrogen and other nutrients for crops and soil organisms

Erosion factors are shown in the table as the K factor (Kw and Kt) and the T factor Erosion factor K indicates the susceptibility ofa soil to sheet and rill erosion by water Factor K is one ofsix factors used in the Universal Soil loss Equation (USLE) and the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) to predict the average annual rate of soil loss by sheet and rill erosion in tons per acre per year The estimates are based primarily on percentage of sill sand and organic matter and on soil structure and Ksat Values of K range from 002 to 069 Other factors being equal the higher the value the more susceptible the soil is to sheet and rill erosion by water

Erosion factorKw indicates the erodibility of the whole soil The estimates are modified by the presence of rock fragments

Erosion factor Kf indicates the erodibility of the fine-earth fraction or the material less than 2 millimeters in size

Erosion faclor Tis an esijmale of the maximum average annual rate ofsoil erosion by wind andor water that can occur without affecting ClOP productivity over a sustained period The rate is in tons per acre per year

IMnd erodibility grovps are made up of soils that have similar properties affecting their susceptibility to wind erosion in cuHivated areas The soils assigned to group 1are the most susceptible to wind erosion and those assigned to group 8 are the least susceptible The groups are described in the National Soil Survey Handbook

Water Features

This table gives estimates of various soil water features The estimates a1e used in land use planning that Involves engineering considerations

Hydrologic soilgroups are based on estimates of runoff potential Soils are assigned to one of four groups according to the rate of water infiltration when the soils are not protected tgty vegetation are thoroughly wet and receive precipitatior frcom long-duration storms

The four hydrologic soit g1oups are

Group A Soils having a high infiltration rate tow runoff potertial) when thoroughly wet These consist mainly of deep well drained to e)(cessively 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 ofmoderately deep or deep moderately well drained orwell drained soils that have moderately line texture to moderately ooarse 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 ofwater or soils ofmoderately 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 ofclays that have a high shrink-swell potential soils that have a high water table soils that have a claypan or clay layer at or near the surface and soils that are shallow over nearty impervious matenal These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission

If a soil is assigned to a dual hydrologic group (NO BID or CD) the first letter is tor drained areas and the second is for undrained areas

Surface runoff refers to the loss ofwater from an area by flow over the land surface Surface runoff classes are based on slope climate and vegetative cover The concept Indicates relative runoff for very specific oonditions Jt is assumed that the surface of the soil is bare and that the re~ntion of surface water resulting from irregulanties in the ground surface is mirlmal The classes are negligible very low low medium high and very high

The months in the table indicate lhe portion of the year in which a water table ponding andor flooding is most likelY to be a concern

Wetltlrtable refers to a saturated zone in the soil The water features table indicates by month depth to the top (upperimi() and base (lower limit) of the saturated zone in most years Estimates of tile upper and lower limits are based mainly on observations of the water table at selected sites and on evidence of a saturated zone namely grayish ccolors or mollfes (redoximorphic features) in the soli A saturated zone that lasts for less than a month Is not considered a water table

Ponding is standing water in a dosed depression Unless a drainage system is installed the water is removed only by peroolation transpiration or evaporation The table indicates surtece water depth and the duratiOtl and frequency ofponding Duration is expressed as very briefif tess than 2 days brief if 2 to 7 days long if 7 to 30 days and very long if more than 30 days Frequency is expressed as none rare occasional and frequent None means that pondlng Is not probable rare that il is unliKely but possible under unusual weather conditions (the chance ofponding Is nearly 0 percent to S percent in any year) occasional that it occurs on the average once or less In 2 years (the chance of ponding is 5 to 50 percent in any year) and frequent that it occurs on the average more than once in 2 years (the chance of ponding is more than 50 percent in any year)

Flooding is the temporary inundation ofan area 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 and water standing in swamps and marshes is oonsidered ponding rather than flooding

Duration and frequency are estimated Duration is expressed as extremely btiefif 01 hour to 4 hours very brief if4 hours to 2 days briefif 2 to 7 days long if 7 to 30 days and very long it more than 30 days Frequency Is expressed as none very rare rare occasional frequent and very frequent None means that flooding is not probable very rare that it is very unlikely but possible under extremely unusual weather conditions (the chance of flooding is less than 1 percent In any year) rare that it is unlikely but possible under unusual weather conditions (the chance of flooding is 1 to 5 percent in any year) occasional that it ocours infrequently undel normal weather oondillons (the chance of flooding is 5 to 50 percent in any year) frequent that it Is likely to occur often under nonnat weather conditions (the chance of flooding is more than 50 percent in any year but is tess than 50 percent in all months in any year) and very frequent that it is likely to occur very often under normal weather conditions (the chance of flooding is more than SO percent in all months ofarw year)

The information is based on evidence in the soil profile namely thin strata ofgravel sand sill or clay deposited by floodwater irregular decrease In o~anic matter content with increasing depth and little or no hOrizon development

Also considered are local information about the extent and levels of flooding and the relation ofeach soil on the landscape to historic floods Information on the extent of nooding based on soit data is less specific than that providelt by detailed engineering surveys that delineate flood-prone areas at specific flood frequency levels

Avsisblamp water capacity refers to the qua nifty 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 ofsoil for eacn soil layer The capacity varies depending on soil properties lhat affect retention of water The most Important properties are the content of organic matter soil tegtltture bulk density and soil structure Available watercapacity is an important factor in the choice ofplants 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

Linear extensibility refers to the change in length ofan unconfined clod as moisture content Is decreased from a moist to a dry state It is an expression of the volume change between the water content of the clod at 113middot or 111 Omiddotbar tension (33kPa or 1OkPa tension) and oven dryness Tne volume change is reported in the table as percent change for the whole soil The amount and type ofclay minerals in the soil Influence volume change

Linear extensibility is used to determine the shrink-swell potential of soils The shrink-swell potential is low if the soil has a linear extensibility ofless than 3 percent moderate lf3 to 6 percent high if6 to 9 percent and very high ifmore than 9 percent If the linear extensibility is more than 3 shrinking and swelling can cause damage to buildings roads and other structures and to plant roots Special design commonly is needed

Organic matter is the plant and animal residue in the soil at various stages of decomposition In this table the estimated oontent 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 ma~er in a soil can be maintained by returning crop residue to the soil

Organic matter has a positive effect on available water capacity water infiltration soU organism activity and tilth It Is a source ofnltrogen and other nutrients for crops and soil organisms

Erosion factors are shown in the table as the K factor (Kw and Kt) and the T factor Erosion factor K indicates the susceptibility ofa soil to sheet and rill erosion by water Factor K is one ofsix factors used in the Universal Soil loss Equation (USLE) and the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) to predict the average annual rate of soil loss by sheet and rill erosion in tons per acre per year The estimates are based primarily on percentage of sill sand and organic matter and on soil structure and Ksat Values of K range from 002 to 069 Other factors being equal the higher the value the more susceptible the soil is to sheet and rill erosion by water

Erosion factorKw indicates the erodibility of the whole soil The estimates are modified by the presence of rock fragments

Erosion factor Kf indicates the erodibility of the fine-earth fraction or the material less than 2 millimeters in size

Erosion faclor Tis an esijmale of the maximum average annual rate ofsoil erosion by wind andor water that can occur without affecting ClOP productivity over a sustained period The rate is in tons per acre per year

IMnd erodibility grovps are made up of soils that have similar properties affecting their susceptibility to wind erosion in cuHivated areas The soils assigned to group 1are the most susceptible to wind erosion and those assigned to group 8 are the least susceptible The groups are described in the National Soil Survey Handbook

IMnd erodibtlily index isa numerical value indicating the susceptibility ofsoil to wind erosion or the tons peracre peryear that can beexpected to beIositowind erosion There is a close correlation between wind etosion and the texture of the surface layer the size and durability of surface clods rock fragments organic matter and a calcareous reaction Soli moisture and frozen soil layers also influence wind erosion

Water Features

This table gives estimates of various soil water features The estimates a1e used in land use planning that Involves engineering considerations

Hydrologic soilgroups are based on estimates of runoff potential Soils are assigned to one of four groups according to the rate of water infiltration when the soils are not protected tgty vegetation are thoroughly wet and receive precipitatior frcom long-duration storms

The four hydrologic soit g1oups are

Group A Soils having a high infiltration rate tow runoff potertial) when thoroughly wet These consist mainly of deep well drained to e)(cessively 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 ofmoderately deep or deep moderately well drained orwell drained soils that have moderately line texture to moderately ooarse 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 ofwater or soils ofmoderately 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 ofclays that have a high shrink-swell potential soils that have a high water table soils that have a claypan or clay layer at or near the surface and soils that are shallow over nearty impervious matenal These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission

If a soil is assigned to a dual hydrologic group (NO BID or CD) the first letter is tor drained areas and the second is for undrained areas

Surface runoff refers to the loss ofwater from an area by flow over the land surface Surface runoff classes are based on slope climate and vegetative cover The concept Indicates relative runoff for very specific oonditions Jt is assumed that the surface of the soil is bare and that the re~ntion of surface water resulting from irregulanties in the ground surface is mirlmal The classes are negligible very low low medium high and very high

The months in the table indicate lhe portion of the year in which a water table ponding andor flooding is most likelY to be a concern

Wetltlrtable refers to a saturated zone in the soil The water features table indicates by month depth to the top (upperimi() and base (lower limit) of the saturated zone in most years Estimates of tile upper and lower limits are based mainly on observations of the water table at selected sites and on evidence of a saturated zone namely grayish ccolors or mollfes (redoximorphic features) in the soli A saturated zone that lasts for less than a month Is not considered a water table

Ponding is standing water in a dosed depression Unless a drainage system is installed the water is removed only by peroolation transpiration or evaporation The table indicates surtece water depth and the duratiOtl and frequency ofponding Duration is expressed as very briefif tess than 2 days brief if 2 to 7 days long if 7 to 30 days and very long if more than 30 days Frequency is expressed as none rare occasional and frequent None means that pondlng Is not probable rare that il is unliKely but possible under unusual weather conditions (the chance ofponding Is nearly 0 percent to S percent in any year) occasional that it occurs on the average once or less In 2 years (the chance of ponding is 5 to 50 percent in any year) and frequent that it occurs on the average more than once in 2 years (the chance of ponding is more than 50 percent in any year)

Flooding is the temporary inundation ofan area 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 and water standing in swamps and marshes is oonsidered ponding rather than flooding

Duration and frequency are estimated Duration is expressed as extremely btiefif 01 hour to 4 hours very brief if4 hours to 2 days briefif 2 to 7 days long if 7 to 30 days and very long it more than 30 days Frequency Is expressed as none very rare rare occasional frequent and very frequent None means that flooding is not probable very rare that it is very unlikely but possible under extremely unusual weather conditions (the chance of flooding is less than 1 percent In any year) rare that it is unlikely but possible under unusual weather conditions (the chance of flooding is 1 to 5 percent in any year) occasional that it ocours infrequently undel normal weather oondillons (the chance of flooding is 5 to 50 percent in any year) frequent that it Is likely to occur often under nonnat weather conditions (the chance of flooding is more than 50 percent in any year but is tess than 50 percent in all months in any year) and very frequent that it is likely to occur very often under normal weather conditions (the chance of flooding is more than SO percent in all months ofarw year)

The information is based on evidence in the soil profile namely thin strata ofgravel sand sill or clay deposited by floodwater irregular decrease In o~anic matter content with increasing depth and little or no hOrizon development

Also considered are local information about the extent and levels of flooding and the relation ofeach soil on the landscape to historic floods Information on the extent of nooding based on soit data is less specific than that providelt by detailed engineering surveys that delineate flood-prone areas at specific flood frequency levels

Water Features

This table gives estimates of various soil water features The estimates a1e used in land use planning that Involves engineering considerations

Hydrologic soilgroups are based on estimates of runoff potential Soils are assigned to one of four groups according to the rate of water infiltration when the soils are not protected tgty vegetation are thoroughly wet and receive precipitatior frcom long-duration storms

The four hydrologic soit g1oups are

Group A Soils having a high infiltration rate tow runoff potertial) when thoroughly wet These consist mainly of deep well drained to e)(cessively 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 ofmoderately deep or deep moderately well drained orwell drained soils that have moderately line texture to moderately ooarse 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 ofwater or soils ofmoderately 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 ofclays that have a high shrink-swell potential soils that have a high water table soils that have a claypan or clay layer at or near the surface and soils that are shallow over nearty impervious matenal These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission

If a soil is assigned to a dual hydrologic group (NO BID or CD) the first letter is tor drained areas and the second is for undrained areas

Surface runoff refers to the loss ofwater from an area by flow over the land surface Surface runoff classes are based on slope climate and vegetative cover The concept Indicates relative runoff for very specific oonditions Jt is assumed that the surface of the soil is bare and that the re~ntion of surface water resulting from irregulanties in the ground surface is mirlmal The classes are negligible very low low medium high and very high

The months in the table indicate lhe portion of the year in which a water table ponding andor flooding is most likelY to be a concern

Wetltlrtable refers to a saturated zone in the soil The water features table indicates by month depth to the top (upperimi() and base (lower limit) of the saturated zone in most years Estimates of tile upper and lower limits are based mainly on observations of the water table at selected sites and on evidence of a saturated zone namely grayish ccolors or mollfes (redoximorphic features) in the soli A saturated zone that lasts for less than a month Is not considered a water table

Ponding is standing water in a dosed depression Unless a drainage system is installed the water is removed only by peroolation transpiration or evaporation The table indicates surtece water depth and the duratiOtl and frequency ofponding Duration is expressed as very briefif tess than 2 days brief if 2 to 7 days long if 7 to 30 days and very long if more than 30 days Frequency is expressed as none rare occasional and frequent None means that pondlng Is not probable rare that il is unliKely but possible under unusual weather conditions (the chance ofponding Is nearly 0 percent to S percent in any year) occasional that it occurs on the average once or less In 2 years (the chance of ponding is 5 to 50 percent in any year) and frequent that it occurs on the average more than once in 2 years (the chance of ponding is more than 50 percent in any year)

Flooding is the temporary inundation ofan area 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 and water standing in swamps and marshes is oonsidered ponding rather than flooding

Duration and frequency are estimated Duration is expressed as extremely btiefif 01 hour to 4 hours very brief if4 hours to 2 days briefif 2 to 7 days long if 7 to 30 days and very long it more than 30 days Frequency Is expressed as none very rare rare occasional frequent and very frequent None means that flooding is not probable very rare that it is very unlikely but possible under extremely unusual weather conditions (the chance of flooding is less than 1 percent In any year) rare that it is unlikely but possible under unusual weather conditions (the chance of flooding is 1 to 5 percent in any year) occasional that it ocours infrequently undel normal weather oondillons (the chance of flooding is 5 to 50 percent in any year) frequent that it Is likely to occur often under nonnat weather conditions (the chance of flooding is more than 50 percent in any year but is tess than 50 percent in all months in any year) and very frequent that it is likely to occur very often under normal weather conditions (the chance of flooding is more than SO percent in all months ofarw year)

The information is based on evidence in the soil profile namely thin strata ofgravel sand sill or clay deposited by floodwater irregular decrease In o~anic matter content with increasing depth and little or no hOrizon development

Also considered are local information about the extent and levels of flooding and the relation ofeach soil on the landscape to historic floods Information on the extent of nooding based on soit data is less specific than that providelt by detailed engineering surveys that delineate flood-prone areas at specific flood frequency levels

Water Features

This table gives estimates of various soil water features The estimates a1e used in land use planning that Involves engineering considerations

Hydrologic soilgroups are based on estimates of runoff potential Soils are assigned to one of four groups according to the rate of water infiltration when the soils are not protected tgty vegetation are thoroughly wet and receive precipitatior frcom long-duration storms

The four hydrologic soit g1oups are

Group A Soils having a high infiltration rate tow runoff potertial) when thoroughly wet These consist mainly of deep well drained to e)(cessively 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 ofmoderately deep or deep moderately well drained orwell drained soils that have moderately line texture to moderately ooarse 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 ofwater or soils ofmoderately 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 ofclays that have a high shrink-swell potential soils that have a high water table soils that have a claypan or clay layer at or near the surface and soils that are shallow over nearty impervious matenal These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission

If a soil is assigned to a dual hydrologic group (NO BID or CD) the first letter is tor drained areas and the second is for undrained areas

Surface runoff refers to the loss ofwater from an area by flow over the land surface Surface runoff classes are based on slope climate and vegetative cover The concept Indicates relative runoff for very specific oonditions Jt is assumed that the surface of the soil is bare and that the re~ntion of surface water resulting from irregulanties in the ground surface is mirlmal The classes are negligible very low low medium high and very high

The months in the table indicate lhe portion of the year in which a water table ponding andor flooding is most likelY to be a concern

Wetltlrtable refers to a saturated zone in the soil The water features table indicates by month depth to the top (upperimi() and base (lower limit) of the saturated zone in most years Estimates of tile upper and lower limits are based mainly on observations of the water table at selected sites and on evidence of a saturated zone namely grayish ccolors or mollfes (redoximorphic features) in the soli A saturated zone that lasts for less than a month Is not considered a water table

Ponding is standing water in a dosed depression Unless a drainage system is installed the water is removed only by peroolation transpiration or evaporation The table indicates surtece water depth and the duratiOtl and frequency ofponding Duration is expressed as very briefif tess than 2 days brief if 2 to 7 days long if 7 to 30 days and very long if more than 30 days Frequency is expressed as none rare occasional and frequent None means that pondlng Is not probable rare that il is unliKely but possible under unusual weather conditions (the chance ofponding Is nearly 0 percent to S percent in any year) occasional that it occurs on the average once or less In 2 years (the chance of ponding is 5 to 50 percent in any year) and frequent that it occurs on the average more than once in 2 years (the chance of ponding is more than 50 percent in any year)

Flooding is the temporary inundation ofan area 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 and water standing in swamps and marshes is oonsidered ponding rather than flooding

Duration and frequency are estimated Duration is expressed as extremely btiefif 01 hour to 4 hours very brief if4 hours to 2 days briefif 2 to 7 days long if 7 to 30 days and very long it more than 30 days Frequency Is expressed as none very rare rare occasional frequent and very frequent None means that flooding is not probable very rare that it is very unlikely but possible under extremely unusual weather conditions (the chance of flooding is less than 1 percent In any year) rare that it is unlikely but possible under unusual weather conditions (the chance of flooding is 1 to 5 percent in any year) occasional that it ocours infrequently undel normal weather oondillons (the chance of flooding is 5 to 50 percent in any year) frequent that it Is likely to occur often under nonnat weather conditions (the chance of flooding is more than 50 percent in any year but is tess than 50 percent in all months in any year) and very frequent that it is likely to occur very often under normal weather conditions (the chance of flooding is more than SO percent in all months ofarw year)

The information is based on evidence in the soil profile namely thin strata ofgravel sand sill or clay deposited by floodwater irregular decrease In o~anic matter content with increasing depth and little or no hOrizon development

Also considered are local information about the extent and levels of flooding and the relation ofeach soil on the landscape to historic floods Information on the extent of nooding based on soit data is less specific than that providelt by detailed engineering surveys that delineate flood-prone areas at specific flood frequency levels

Water Features

This table gives estimates of various soil water features The estimates a1e used in land use planning that Involves engineering considerations

Hydrologic soilgroups are based on estimates of runoff potential Soils are assigned to one of four groups according to the rate of water infiltration when the soils are not protected tgty vegetation are thoroughly wet and receive precipitatior frcom long-duration storms

The four hydrologic soit g1oups are

Group A Soils having a high infiltration rate tow runoff potertial) when thoroughly wet These consist mainly of deep well drained to e)(cessively 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 ofmoderately deep or deep moderately well drained orwell drained soils that have moderately line texture to moderately ooarse 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 ofwater or soils ofmoderately 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 ofclays that have a high shrink-swell potential soils that have a high water table soils that have a claypan or clay layer at or near the surface and soils that are shallow over nearty impervious matenal These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission

If a soil is assigned to a dual hydrologic group (NO BID or CD) the first letter is tor drained areas and the second is for undrained areas

Surface runoff refers to the loss ofwater from an area by flow over the land surface Surface runoff classes are based on slope climate and vegetative cover The concept Indicates relative runoff for very specific oonditions Jt is assumed that the surface of the soil is bare and that the re~ntion of surface water resulting from irregulanties in the ground surface is mirlmal The classes are negligible very low low medium high and very high

The months in the table indicate lhe portion of the year in which a water table ponding andor flooding is most likelY to be a concern

Wetltlrtable refers to a saturated zone in the soil The water features table indicates by month depth to the top (upperimi() and base (lower limit) of the saturated zone in most years Estimates of tile upper and lower limits are based mainly on observations of the water table at selected sites and on evidence of a saturated zone namely grayish ccolors or mollfes (redoximorphic features) in the soli A saturated zone that lasts for less than a month Is not considered a water table

Ponding is standing water in a dosed depression Unless a drainage system is installed the water is removed only by peroolation transpiration or evaporation The table indicates surtece water depth and the duratiOtl and frequency ofponding Duration is expressed as very briefif tess than 2 days brief if 2 to 7 days long if 7 to 30 days and very long if more than 30 days Frequency is expressed as none rare occasional and frequent None means that pondlng Is not probable rare that il is unliKely but possible under unusual weather conditions (the chance ofponding Is nearly 0 percent to S percent in any year) occasional that it occurs on the average once or less In 2 years (the chance of ponding is 5 to 50 percent in any year) and frequent that it occurs on the average more than once in 2 years (the chance of ponding is more than 50 percent in any year)

Flooding is the temporary inundation ofan area 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 and water standing in swamps and marshes is oonsidered ponding rather than flooding

Duration and frequency are estimated Duration is expressed as extremely btiefif 01 hour to 4 hours very brief if4 hours to 2 days briefif 2 to 7 days long if 7 to 30 days and very long it more than 30 days Frequency Is expressed as none very rare rare occasional frequent and very frequent None means that flooding is not probable very rare that it is very unlikely but possible under extremely unusual weather conditions (the chance of flooding is less than 1 percent In any year) rare that it is unlikely but possible under unusual weather conditions (the chance of flooding is 1 to 5 percent in any year) occasional that it ocours infrequently undel normal weather oondillons (the chance of flooding is 5 to 50 percent in any year) frequent that it Is likely to occur often under nonnat weather conditions (the chance of flooding is more than 50 percent in any year but is tess than 50 percent in all months in any year) and very frequent that it is likely to occur very often under normal weather conditions (the chance of flooding is more than SO percent in all months ofarw year)

The information is based on evidence in the soil profile namely thin strata ofgravel sand sill or clay deposited by floodwater irregular decrease In o~anic matter content with increasing depth and little or no hOrizon development

Also considered are local information about the extent and levels of flooding and the relation ofeach soil on the landscape to historic floods Information on the extent of nooding based on soit data is less specific than that providelt by detailed engineering surveys that delineate flood-prone areas at specific flood frequency levels

Water Features

This table gives estimates of various soil water features The estimates a1e used in land use planning that Involves engineering considerations

Hydrologic soilgroups are based on estimates of runoff potential Soils are assigned to one of four groups according to the rate of water infiltration when the soils are not protected tgty vegetation are thoroughly wet and receive precipitatior frcom long-duration storms

The four hydrologic soit g1oups are

Group A Soils having a high infiltration rate tow runoff potertial) when thoroughly wet These consist mainly of deep well drained to e)(cessively 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 ofmoderately deep or deep moderately well drained orwell drained soils that have moderately line texture to moderately ooarse 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 ofwater or soils ofmoderately 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 ofclays that have a high shrink-swell potential soils that have a high water table soils that have a claypan or clay layer at or near the surface and soils that are shallow over nearty impervious matenal These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission

If a soil is assigned to a dual hydrologic group (NO BID or CD) the first letter is tor drained areas and the second is for undrained areas

Surface runoff refers to the loss ofwater from an area by flow over the land surface Surface runoff classes are based on slope climate and vegetative cover The concept Indicates relative runoff for very specific oonditions Jt is assumed that the surface of the soil is bare and that the re~ntion of surface water resulting from irregulanties in the ground surface is mirlmal The classes are negligible very low low medium high and very high

The months in the table indicate lhe portion of the year in which a water table ponding andor flooding is most likelY to be a concern

Wetltlrtable refers to a saturated zone in the soil The water features table indicates by month depth to the top (upperimi() and base (lower limit) of the saturated zone in most years Estimates of tile upper and lower limits are based mainly on observations of the water table at selected sites and on evidence of a saturated zone namely grayish ccolors or mollfes (redoximorphic features) in the soli A saturated zone that lasts for less than a month Is not considered a water table

Ponding is standing water in a dosed depression Unless a drainage system is installed the water is removed only by peroolation transpiration or evaporation The table indicates surtece water depth and the duratiOtl and frequency ofponding Duration is expressed as very briefif tess than 2 days brief if 2 to 7 days long if 7 to 30 days and very long if more than 30 days Frequency is expressed as none rare occasional and frequent None means that pondlng Is not probable rare that il is unliKely but possible under unusual weather conditions (the chance ofponding Is nearly 0 percent to S percent in any year) occasional that it occurs on the average once or less In 2 years (the chance of ponding is 5 to 50 percent in any year) and frequent that it occurs on the average more than once in 2 years (the chance of ponding is more than 50 percent in any year)

Flooding is the temporary inundation ofan area 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 and water standing in swamps and marshes is oonsidered ponding rather than flooding

Duration and frequency are estimated Duration is expressed as extremely btiefif 01 hour to 4 hours very brief if4 hours to 2 days briefif 2 to 7 days long if 7 to 30 days and very long it more than 30 days Frequency Is expressed as none very rare rare occasional frequent and very frequent None means that flooding is not probable very rare that it is very unlikely but possible under extremely unusual weather conditions (the chance of flooding is less than 1 percent In any year) rare that it is unlikely but possible under unusual weather conditions (the chance of flooding is 1 to 5 percent in any year) occasional that it ocours infrequently undel normal weather oondillons (the chance of flooding is 5 to 50 percent in any year) frequent that it Is likely to occur often under nonnat weather conditions (the chance of flooding is more than 50 percent in any year but is tess than 50 percent in all months in any year) and very frequent that it is likely to occur very often under normal weather conditions (the chance of flooding is more than SO percent in all months ofarw year)

The information is based on evidence in the soil profile namely thin strata ofgravel sand sill or clay deposited by floodwater irregular decrease In o~anic matter content with increasing depth and little or no hOrizon development

Also considered are local information about the extent and levels of flooding and the relation ofeach soil on the landscape to historic floods Information on the extent of nooding based on soit data is less specific than that providelt by detailed engineering surveys that delineate flood-prone areas at specific flood frequency levels

Water Features

This table gives estimates of various soil water features The estimates a1e used in land use planning that Involves engineering considerations

Hydrologic soilgroups are based on estimates of runoff potential Soils are assigned to one of four groups according to the rate of water infiltration when the soils are not protected tgty vegetation are thoroughly wet and receive precipitatior frcom long-duration storms

The four hydrologic soit g1oups are

Group A Soils having a high infiltration rate tow runoff potertial) when thoroughly wet These consist mainly of deep well drained to e)(cessively 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 ofmoderately deep or deep moderately well drained orwell drained soils that have moderately line texture to moderately ooarse 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 ofwater or soils ofmoderately 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 ofclays that have a high shrink-swell potential soils that have a high water table soils that have a claypan or clay layer at or near the surface and soils that are shallow over nearty impervious matenal These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission

If a soil is assigned to a dual hydrologic group (NO BID or CD) the first letter is tor drained areas and the second is for undrained areas

Surface runoff refers to the loss ofwater from an area by flow over the land surface Surface runoff classes are based on slope climate and vegetative cover The concept Indicates relative runoff for very specific oonditions Jt is assumed that the surface of the soil is bare and that the re~ntion of surface water resulting from irregulanties in the ground surface is mirlmal The classes are negligible very low low medium high and very high

The months in the table indicate lhe portion of the year in which a water table ponding andor flooding is most likelY to be a concern

Wetltlrtable refers to a saturated zone in the soil The water features table indicates by month depth to the top (upperimi() and base (lower limit) of the saturated zone in most years Estimates of tile upper and lower limits are based mainly on observations of the water table at selected sites and on evidence of a saturated zone namely grayish ccolors or mollfes (redoximorphic features) in the soli A saturated zone that lasts for less than a month Is not considered a water table

Ponding is standing water in a dosed depression Unless a drainage system is installed the water is removed only by peroolation transpiration or evaporation The table indicates surtece water depth and the duratiOtl and frequency ofponding Duration is expressed as very briefif tess than 2 days brief if 2 to 7 days long if 7 to 30 days and very long if more than 30 days Frequency is expressed as none rare occasional and frequent None means that pondlng Is not probable rare that il is unliKely but possible under unusual weather conditions (the chance ofponding Is nearly 0 percent to S percent in any year) occasional that it occurs on the average once or less In 2 years (the chance of ponding is 5 to 50 percent in any year) and frequent that it occurs on the average more than once in 2 years (the chance of ponding is more than 50 percent in any year)

Flooding is the temporary inundation ofan area 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 and water standing in swamps and marshes is oonsidered ponding rather than flooding

Duration and frequency are estimated Duration is expressed as extremely btiefif 01 hour to 4 hours very brief if4 hours to 2 days briefif 2 to 7 days long if 7 to 30 days and very long it more than 30 days Frequency Is expressed as none very rare rare occasional frequent and very frequent None means that flooding is not probable very rare that it is very unlikely but possible under extremely unusual weather conditions (the chance of flooding is less than 1 percent In any year) rare that it is unlikely but possible under unusual weather conditions (the chance of flooding is 1 to 5 percent in any year) occasional that it ocours infrequently undel normal weather oondillons (the chance of flooding is 5 to 50 percent in any year) frequent that it Is likely to occur often under nonnat weather conditions (the chance of flooding is more than 50 percent in any year but is tess than 50 percent in all months in any year) and very frequent that it is likely to occur very often under normal weather conditions (the chance of flooding is more than SO percent in all months ofarw year)

The information is based on evidence in the soil profile namely thin strata ofgravel sand sill or clay deposited by floodwater irregular decrease In o~anic matter content with increasing depth and little or no hOrizon development

Also considered are local information about the extent and levels of flooding and the relation ofeach soil on the landscape to historic floods Information on the extent of nooding based on soit data is less specific than that providelt by detailed engineering surveys that delineate flood-prone areas at specific flood frequency levels

Water Features

This table gives estimates of various soil water features The estimates a1e used in land use planning that Involves engineering considerations

Hydrologic soilgroups are based on estimates of runoff potential Soils are assigned to one of four groups according to the rate of water infiltration when the soils are not protected tgty vegetation are thoroughly wet and receive precipitatior frcom long-duration storms

The four hydrologic soit g1oups are

Group A Soils having a high infiltration rate tow runoff potertial) when thoroughly wet These consist mainly of deep well drained to e)(cessively 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 ofmoderately deep or deep moderately well drained orwell drained soils that have moderately line texture to moderately ooarse 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 ofwater or soils ofmoderately 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 ofclays that have a high shrink-swell potential soils that have a high water table soils that have a claypan or clay layer at or near the surface and soils that are shallow over nearty impervious matenal These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission

If a soil is assigned to a dual hydrologic group (NO BID or CD) the first letter is tor drained areas and the second is for undrained areas

Surface runoff refers to the loss ofwater from an area by flow over the land surface Surface runoff classes are based on slope climate and vegetative cover The concept Indicates relative runoff for very specific oonditions Jt is assumed that the surface of the soil is bare and that the re~ntion of surface water resulting from irregulanties in the ground surface is mirlmal The classes are negligible very low low medium high and very high

The months in the table indicate lhe portion of the year in which a water table ponding andor flooding is most likelY to be a concern

Wetltlrtable refers to a saturated zone in the soil The water features table indicates by month depth to the top (upperimi() and base (lower limit) of the saturated zone in most years Estimates of tile upper and lower limits are based mainly on observations of the water table at selected sites and on evidence of a saturated zone namely grayish ccolors or mollfes (redoximorphic features) in the soli A saturated zone that lasts for less than a month Is not considered a water table

Ponding is standing water in a dosed depression Unless a drainage system is installed the water is removed only by peroolation transpiration or evaporation The table indicates surtece water depth and the duratiOtl and frequency ofponding Duration is expressed as very briefif tess than 2 days brief if 2 to 7 days long if 7 to 30 days and very long if more than 30 days Frequency is expressed as none rare occasional and frequent None means that pondlng Is not probable rare that il is unliKely but possible under unusual weather conditions (the chance ofponding Is nearly 0 percent to S percent in any year) occasional that it occurs on the average once or less In 2 years (the chance of ponding is 5 to 50 percent in any year) and frequent that it occurs on the average more than once in 2 years (the chance of ponding is more than 50 percent in any year)

Flooding is the temporary inundation ofan area 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 and water standing in swamps and marshes is oonsidered ponding rather than flooding

Duration and frequency are estimated Duration is expressed as extremely btiefif 01 hour to 4 hours very brief if4 hours to 2 days briefif 2 to 7 days long if 7 to 30 days and very long it more than 30 days Frequency Is expressed as none very rare rare occasional frequent and very frequent None means that flooding is not probable very rare that it is very unlikely but possible under extremely unusual weather conditions (the chance of flooding is less than 1 percent In any year) rare that it is unlikely but possible under unusual weather conditions (the chance of flooding is 1 to 5 percent in any year) occasional that it ocours infrequently undel normal weather oondillons (the chance of flooding is 5 to 50 percent in any year) frequent that it Is likely to occur often under nonnat weather conditions (the chance of flooding is more than 50 percent in any year but is tess than 50 percent in all months in any year) and very frequent that it is likely to occur very often under normal weather conditions (the chance of flooding is more than SO percent in all months ofarw year)

The information is based on evidence in the soil profile namely thin strata ofgravel sand sill or clay deposited by floodwater irregular decrease In o~anic matter content with increasing depth and little or no hOrizon development

Also considered are local information about the extent and levels of flooding and the relation ofeach soil on the landscape to historic floods Information on the extent of nooding based on soit data is less specific than that providelt by detailed engineering surveys that delineate flood-prone areas at specific flood frequency levels

Water Features

This table gives estimates of various soil water features The estimates a1e used in land use planning that Involves engineering considerations

Hydrologic soilgroups are based on estimates of runoff potential Soils are assigned to one of four groups according to the rate of water infiltration when the soils are not protected tgty vegetation are thoroughly wet and receive precipitatior frcom long-duration storms

The four hydrologic soit g1oups are

Group A Soils having a high infiltration rate tow runoff potertial) when thoroughly wet These consist mainly of deep well drained to e)(cessively 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 ofmoderately deep or deep moderately well drained orwell drained soils that have moderately line texture to moderately ooarse 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 ofwater or soils ofmoderately 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 ofclays that have a high shrink-swell potential soils that have a high water table soils that have a claypan or clay layer at or near the surface and soils that are shallow over nearty impervious matenal These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission

If a soil is assigned to a dual hydrologic group (NO BID or CD) the first letter is tor drained areas and the second is for undrained areas

Surface runoff refers to the loss ofwater from an area by flow over the land surface Surface runoff classes are based on slope climate and vegetative cover The concept Indicates relative runoff for very specific oonditions Jt is assumed that the surface of the soil is bare and that the re~ntion of surface water resulting from irregulanties in the ground surface is mirlmal The classes are negligible very low low medium high and very high

The months in the table indicate lhe portion of the year in which a water table ponding andor flooding is most likelY to be a concern

Wetltlrtable refers to a saturated zone in the soil The water features table indicates by month depth to the top (upperimi() and base (lower limit) of the saturated zone in most years Estimates of tile upper and lower limits are based mainly on observations of the water table at selected sites and on evidence of a saturated zone namely grayish ccolors or mollfes (redoximorphic features) in the soli A saturated zone that lasts for less than a month Is not considered a water table

Ponding is standing water in a dosed depression Unless a drainage system is installed the water is removed only by peroolation transpiration or evaporation The table indicates surtece water depth and the duratiOtl and frequency ofponding Duration is expressed as very briefif tess than 2 days brief if 2 to 7 days long if 7 to 30 days and very long if more than 30 days Frequency is expressed as none rare occasional and frequent None means that pondlng Is not probable rare that il is unliKely but possible under unusual weather conditions (the chance ofponding Is nearly 0 percent to S percent in any year) occasional that it occurs on the average once or less In 2 years (the chance of ponding is 5 to 50 percent in any year) and frequent that it occurs on the average more than once in 2 years (the chance of ponding is more than 50 percent in any year)

Flooding is the temporary inundation ofan area 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 and water standing in swamps and marshes is oonsidered ponding rather than flooding

Duration and frequency are estimated Duration is expressed as extremely btiefif 01 hour to 4 hours very brief if4 hours to 2 days briefif 2 to 7 days long if 7 to 30 days and very long it more than 30 days Frequency Is expressed as none very rare rare occasional frequent and very frequent None means that flooding is not probable very rare that it is very unlikely but possible under extremely unusual weather conditions (the chance of flooding is less than 1 percent In any year) rare that it is unlikely but possible under unusual weather conditions (the chance of flooding is 1 to 5 percent in any year) occasional that it ocours infrequently undel normal weather oondillons (the chance of flooding is 5 to 50 percent in any year) frequent that it Is likely to occur often under nonnat weather conditions (the chance of flooding is more than 50 percent in any year but is tess than 50 percent in all months in any year) and very frequent that it is likely to occur very often under normal weather conditions (the chance of flooding is more than SO percent in all months ofarw year)

The information is based on evidence in the soil profile namely thin strata ofgravel sand sill or clay deposited by floodwater irregular decrease In o~anic matter content with increasing depth and little or no hOrizon development

Also considered are local information about the extent and levels of flooding and the relation ofeach soil on the landscape to historic floods Information on the extent of nooding based on soit data is less specific than that providelt by detailed engineering surveys that delineate flood-prone areas at specific flood frequency levels

Water Features

This table gives estimates of various soil water features The estimates a1e used in land use planning that Involves engineering considerations

Hydrologic soilgroups are based on estimates of runoff potential Soils are assigned to one of four groups according to the rate of water infiltration when the soils are not protected tgty vegetation are thoroughly wet and receive precipitatior frcom long-duration storms

The four hydrologic soit g1oups are

Group A Soils having a high infiltration rate tow runoff potertial) when thoroughly wet These consist mainly of deep well drained to e)(cessively 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 ofmoderately deep or deep moderately well drained orwell drained soils that have moderately line texture to moderately ooarse 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 ofwater or soils ofmoderately 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 ofclays that have a high shrink-swell potential soils that have a high water table soils that have a claypan or clay layer at or near the surface and soils that are shallow over nearty impervious matenal These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission

If a soil is assigned to a dual hydrologic group (NO BID or CD) the first letter is tor drained areas and the second is for undrained areas

Surface runoff refers to the loss ofwater from an area by flow over the land surface Surface runoff classes are based on slope climate and vegetative cover The concept Indicates relative runoff for very specific oonditions Jt is assumed that the surface of the soil is bare and that the re~ntion of surface water resulting from irregulanties in the ground surface is mirlmal The classes are negligible very low low medium high and very high

The months in the table indicate lhe portion of the year in which a water table ponding andor flooding is most likelY to be a concern

Wetltlrtable refers to a saturated zone in the soil The water features table indicates by month depth to the top (upperimi() and base (lower limit) of the saturated zone in most years Estimates of tile upper and lower limits are based mainly on observations of the water table at selected sites and on evidence of a saturated zone namely grayish ccolors or mollfes (redoximorphic features) in the soli A saturated zone that lasts for less than a month Is not considered a water table

Ponding is standing water in a dosed depression Unless a drainage system is installed the water is removed only by peroolation transpiration or evaporation The table indicates surtece water depth and the duratiOtl and frequency ofponding Duration is expressed as very briefif tess than 2 days brief if 2 to 7 days long if 7 to 30 days and very long if more than 30 days Frequency is expressed as none rare occasional and frequent None means that pondlng Is not probable rare that il is unliKely but possible under unusual weather conditions (the chance ofponding Is nearly 0 percent to S percent in any year) occasional that it occurs on the average once or less In 2 years (the chance of ponding is 5 to 50 percent in any year) and frequent that it occurs on the average more than once in 2 years (the chance of ponding is more than 50 percent in any year)

Flooding is the temporary inundation ofan area 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 and water standing in swamps and marshes is oonsidered ponding rather than flooding

Duration and frequency are estimated Duration is expressed as extremely btiefif 01 hour to 4 hours very brief if4 hours to 2 days briefif 2 to 7 days long if 7 to 30 days and very long it more than 30 days Frequency Is expressed as none very rare rare occasional frequent and very frequent None means that flooding is not probable very rare that it is very unlikely but possible under extremely unusual weather conditions (the chance of flooding is less than 1 percent In any year) rare that it is unlikely but possible under unusual weather conditions (the chance of flooding is 1 to 5 percent in any year) occasional that it ocours infrequently undel normal weather oondillons (the chance of flooding is 5 to 50 percent in any year) frequent that it Is likely to occur often under nonnat weather conditions (the chance of flooding is more than 50 percent in any year but is tess than 50 percent in all months in any year) and very frequent that it is likely to occur very often under normal weather conditions (the chance of flooding is more than SO percent in all months ofarw year)

The information is based on evidence in the soil profile namely thin strata ofgravel sand sill or clay deposited by floodwater irregular decrease In o~anic matter content with increasing depth and little or no hOrizon development

Also considered are local information about the extent and levels of flooding and the relation ofeach soil on the landscape to historic floods Information on the extent of nooding based on soit data is less specific than that providelt by detailed engineering surveys that delineate flood-prone areas at specific flood frequency levels

Water Features

This table gives estimates of various soil water features The estimates a1e used in land use planning that Involves engineering considerations

Hydrologic soilgroups are based on estimates of runoff potential Soils are assigned to one of four groups according to the rate of water infiltration when the soils are not protected tgty vegetation are thoroughly wet and receive precipitatior frcom long-duration storms

The four hydrologic soit g1oups are

Group A Soils having a high infiltration rate tow runoff potertial) when thoroughly wet These consist mainly of deep well drained to e)(cessively 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 ofmoderately deep or deep moderately well drained orwell drained soils that have moderately line texture to moderately ooarse 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 ofwater or soils ofmoderately 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 ofclays that have a high shrink-swell potential soils that have a high water table soils that have a claypan or clay layer at or near the surface and soils that are shallow over nearty impervious matenal These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission

If a soil is assigned to a dual hydrologic group (NO BID or CD) the first letter is tor drained areas and the second is for undrained areas

Surface runoff refers to the loss ofwater from an area by flow over the land surface Surface runoff classes are based on slope climate and vegetative cover The concept Indicates relative runoff for very specific oonditions Jt is assumed that the surface of the soil is bare and that the re~ntion of surface water resulting from irregulanties in the ground surface is mirlmal The classes are negligible very low low medium high and very high

The months in the table indicate lhe portion of the year in which a water table ponding andor flooding is most likelY to be a concern

Wetltlrtable refers to a saturated zone in the soil The water features table indicates by month depth to the top (upperimi() and base (lower limit) of the saturated zone in most years Estimates of tile upper and lower limits are based mainly on observations of the water table at selected sites and on evidence of a saturated zone namely grayish ccolors or mollfes (redoximorphic features) in the soli A saturated zone that lasts for less than a month Is not considered a water table

Ponding is standing water in a dosed depression Unless a drainage system is installed the water is removed only by peroolation transpiration or evaporation The table indicates surtece water depth and the duratiOtl and frequency ofponding Duration is expressed as very briefif tess than 2 days brief if 2 to 7 days long if 7 to 30 days and very long if more than 30 days Frequency is expressed as none rare occasional and frequent None means that pondlng Is not probable rare that il is unliKely but possible under unusual weather conditions (the chance ofponding Is nearly 0 percent to S percent in any year) occasional that it occurs on the average once or less In 2 years (the chance of ponding is 5 to 50 percent in any year) and frequent that it occurs on the average more than once in 2 years (the chance of ponding is more than 50 percent in any year)

Flooding is the temporary inundation ofan area 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 and water standing in swamps and marshes is oonsidered ponding rather than flooding

Duration and frequency are estimated Duration is expressed as extremely btiefif 01 hour to 4 hours very brief if4 hours to 2 days briefif 2 to 7 days long if 7 to 30 days and very long it more than 30 days Frequency Is expressed as none very rare rare occasional frequent and very frequent None means that flooding is not probable very rare that it is very unlikely but possible under extremely unusual weather conditions (the chance of flooding is less than 1 percent In any year) rare that it is unlikely but possible under unusual weather conditions (the chance of flooding is 1 to 5 percent in any year) occasional that it ocours infrequently undel normal weather oondillons (the chance of flooding is 5 to 50 percent in any year) frequent that it Is likely to occur often under nonnat weather conditions (the chance of flooding is more than 50 percent in any year but is tess than 50 percent in all months in any year) and very frequent that it is likely to occur very often under normal weather conditions (the chance of flooding is more than SO percent in all months ofarw year)

The information is based on evidence in the soil profile namely thin strata ofgravel sand sill or clay deposited by floodwater irregular decrease In o~anic matter content with increasing depth and little or no hOrizon development

Also considered are local information about the extent and levels of flooding and the relation ofeach soil on the landscape to historic floods Information on the extent of nooding based on soit data is less specific than that providelt by detailed engineering surveys that delineate flood-prone areas at specific flood frequency levels

This table gives estimates of various soil water features The estimates a1e used in land use planning that Involves engineering considerations

Hydrologic soilgroups are based on estimates of runoff potential Soils are assigned to one of four groups according to the rate of water infiltration when the soils are not protected tgty vegetation are thoroughly wet and receive precipitatior frcom long-duration storms

The four hydrologic soit g1oups are

Group A Soils having a high infiltration rate tow runoff potertial) when thoroughly wet These consist mainly of deep well drained to e)(cessively 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 ofmoderately deep or deep moderately well drained orwell drained soils that have moderately line texture to moderately ooarse 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 ofwater or soils ofmoderately 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 ofclays that have a high shrink-swell potential soils that have a high water table soils that have a claypan or clay layer at or near the surface and soils that are shallow over nearty impervious matenal These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission

If a soil is assigned to a dual hydrologic group (NO BID or CD) the first letter is tor drained areas and the second is for undrained areas

Surface runoff refers to the loss ofwater from an area by flow over the land surface Surface runoff classes are based on slope climate and vegetative cover The concept Indicates relative runoff for very specific oonditions Jt is assumed that the surface of the soil is bare and that the re~ntion of surface water resulting from irregulanties in the ground surface is mirlmal The classes are negligible very low low medium high and very high

The months in the table indicate lhe portion of the year in which a water table ponding andor flooding is most likelY to be a concern

Wetltlrtable refers to a saturated zone in the soil The water features table indicates by month depth to the top (upperimi() and base (lower limit) of the saturated zone in most years Estimates of tile upper and lower limits are based mainly on observations of the water table at selected sites and on evidence of a saturated zone namely grayish ccolors or mollfes (redoximorphic features) in the soli A saturated zone that lasts for less than a month Is not considered a water table

Ponding is standing water in a dosed depression Unless a drainage system is installed the water is removed only by peroolation transpiration or evaporation The table indicates surtece water depth and the duratiOtl and frequency ofponding Duration is expressed as very briefif tess than 2 days brief if 2 to 7 days long if 7 to 30 days and very long if more than 30 days Frequency is expressed as none rare occasional and frequent None means that pondlng Is not probable rare that il is unliKely but possible under unusual weather conditions (the chance ofponding Is nearly 0 percent to S percent in any year) occasional that it occurs on the average once or less In 2 years (the chance of ponding is 5 to 50 percent in any year) and frequent that it occurs on the average more than once in 2 years (the chance of ponding is more than 50 percent in any year)

Flooding is the temporary inundation ofan area 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 and water standing in swamps and marshes is oonsidered ponding rather than flooding

Duration and frequency are estimated Duration is expressed as extremely btiefif 01 hour to 4 hours very brief if4 hours to 2 days briefif 2 to 7 days long if 7 to 30 days and very long it more than 30 days Frequency Is expressed as none very rare rare occasional frequent and very frequent None means that flooding is not probable very rare that it is very unlikely but possible under extremely unusual weather conditions (the chance of flooding is less than 1 percent In any year) rare that it is unlikely but possible under unusual weather conditions (the chance of flooding is 1 to 5 percent in any year) occasional that it ocours infrequently undel normal weather oondillons (the chance of flooding is 5 to 50 percent in any year) frequent that it Is likely to occur often under nonnat weather conditions (the chance of flooding is more than 50 percent in any year but is tess than 50 percent in all months in any year) and very frequent that it is likely to occur very often under normal weather conditions (the chance of flooding is more than SO percent in all months ofarw year)

The information is based on evidence in the soil profile namely thin strata ofgravel sand sill or clay deposited by floodwater irregular decrease In o~anic matter content with increasing depth and little or no hOrizon development

Also considered are local information about the extent and levels of flooding and the relation ofeach soil on the landscape to historic floods Information on the extent of nooding based on soit data is less specific than that providelt by detailed engineering surveys that delineate flood-prone areas at specific flood frequency levels

Water Features

This table gives estimates of various soil water features The estimates a1e used in land use planning that Involves engineering considerations

Hydrologic soilgroups are based on estimates of runoff potential Soils are assigned to one of four groups according to the rate of water infiltration when the soils are not protected tgty vegetation are thoroughly wet and receive precipitatior frcom long-duration storms

The four hydrologic soit g1oups are

Group A Soils having a high infiltration rate tow runoff potertial) when thoroughly wet These consist mainly of deep well drained to e)(cessively 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 ofmoderately deep or deep moderately well drained orwell drained soils that have moderately line texture to moderately ooarse 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 ofwater or soils ofmoderately 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 ofclays that have a high shrink-swell potential soils that have a high water table soils that have a claypan or clay layer at or near the surface and soils that are shallow over nearty impervious matenal These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission

If a soil is assigned to a dual hydrologic group (NO BID or CD) the first letter is tor drained areas and the second is for undrained areas

Surface runoff refers to the loss ofwater from an area by flow over the land surface Surface runoff classes are based on slope climate and vegetative cover The concept Indicates relative runoff for very specific oonditions Jt is assumed that the surface of the soil is bare and that the re~ntion of surface water resulting from irregulanties in the ground surface is mirlmal The classes are negligible very low low medium high and very high

The months in the table indicate lhe portion of the year in which a water table ponding andor flooding is most likelY to be a concern

Wetltlrtable refers to a saturated zone in the soil The water features table indicates by month depth to the top (upperimi() and base (lower limit) of the saturated zone in most years Estimates of tile upper and lower limits are based mainly on observations of the water table at selected sites and on evidence of a saturated zone namely grayish ccolors or mollfes (redoximorphic features) in the soli A saturated zone that lasts for less than a month Is not considered a water table

Ponding is standing water in a dosed depression Unless a drainage system is installed the water is removed only by peroolation transpiration or evaporation The table indicates surtece water depth and the duratiOtl and frequency ofponding Duration is expressed as very briefif tess than 2 days brief if 2 to 7 days long if 7 to 30 days and very long if more than 30 days Frequency is expressed as none rare occasional and frequent None means that pondlng Is not probable rare that il is unliKely but possible under unusual weather conditions (the chance ofponding Is nearly 0 percent to S percent in any year) occasional that it occurs on the average once or less In 2 years (the chance of ponding is 5 to 50 percent in any year) and frequent that it occurs on the average more than once in 2 years (the chance of ponding is more than 50 percent in any year)

Flooding is the temporary inundation ofan area 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 and water standing in swamps and marshes is oonsidered ponding rather than flooding

Duration and frequency are estimated Duration is expressed as extremely btiefif 01 hour to 4 hours very brief if4 hours to 2 days briefif 2 to 7 days long if 7 to 30 days and very long it more than 30 days Frequency Is expressed as none very rare rare occasional frequent and very frequent None means that flooding is not probable very rare that it is very unlikely but possible under extremely unusual weather conditions (the chance of flooding is less than 1 percent In any year) rare that it is unlikely but possible under unusual weather conditions (the chance of flooding is 1 to 5 percent in any year) occasional that it ocours infrequently undel normal weather oondillons (the chance of flooding is 5 to 50 percent in any year) frequent that it Is likely to occur often under nonnat weather conditions (the chance of flooding is more than 50 percent in any year but is tess than 50 percent in all months in any year) and very frequent that it is likely to occur very often under normal weather conditions (the chance of flooding is more than SO percent in all months ofarw year)

The information is based on evidence in the soil profile namely thin strata ofgravel sand sill or clay deposited by floodwater irregular decrease In o~anic matter content with increasing depth and little or no hOrizon development

Also considered are local information about the extent and levels of flooding and the relation ofeach soil on the landscape to historic floods Information on the extent of nooding based on soit data is less specific than that providelt by detailed engineering surveys that delineate flood-prone areas at specific flood frequency levels

Water Features

This table gives estimates of various soil water features The estimates a1e used in land use planning that Involves engineering considerations

Hydrologic soilgroups are based on estimates of runoff potential Soils are assigned to one of four groups according to the rate of water infiltration when the soils are not protected tgty vegetation are thoroughly wet and receive precipitatior frcom long-duration storms

The four hydrologic soit g1oups are

Group A Soils having a high infiltration rate tow runoff potertial) when thoroughly wet These consist mainly of deep well drained to e)(cessively 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 ofmoderately deep or deep moderately well drained orwell drained soils that have moderately line texture to moderately ooarse 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 ofwater or soils ofmoderately 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 ofclays that have a high shrink-swell potential soils that have a high water table soils that have a claypan or clay layer at or near the surface and soils that are shallow over nearty impervious matenal These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission

If a soil is assigned to a dual hydrologic group (NO BID or CD) the first letter is tor drained areas and the second is for undrained areas

Surface runoff refers to the loss ofwater from an area by flow over the land surface Surface runoff classes are based on slope climate and vegetative cover The concept Indicates relative runoff for very specific oonditions Jt is assumed that the surface of the soil is bare and that the re~ntion of surface water resulting from irregulanties in the ground surface is mirlmal The classes are negligible very low low medium high and very high

The months in the table indicate lhe portion of the year in which a water table ponding andor flooding is most likelY to be a concern

Wetltlrtable refers to a saturated zone in the soil The water features table indicates by month depth to the top (upperimi() and base (lower limit) of the saturated zone in most years Estimates of tile upper and lower limits are based mainly on observations of the water table at selected sites and on evidence of a saturated zone namely grayish ccolors or mollfes (redoximorphic features) in the soli A saturated zone that lasts for less than a month Is not considered a water table

Ponding is standing water in a dosed depression Unless a drainage system is installed the water is removed only by peroolation transpiration or evaporation The table indicates surtece water depth and the duratiOtl and frequency ofponding Duration is expressed as very briefif tess than 2 days brief if 2 to 7 days long if 7 to 30 days and very long if more than 30 days Frequency is expressed as none rare occasional and frequent None means that pondlng Is not probable rare that il is unliKely but possible under unusual weather conditions (the chance ofponding Is nearly 0 percent to S percent in any year) occasional that it occurs on the average once or less In 2 years (the chance of ponding is 5 to 50 percent in any year) and frequent that it occurs on the average more than once in 2 years (the chance of ponding is more than 50 percent in any year)

Flooding is the temporary inundation ofan area 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 and water standing in swamps and marshes is oonsidered ponding rather than flooding

Duration and frequency are estimated Duration is expressed as extremely btiefif 01 hour to 4 hours very brief if4 hours to 2 days briefif 2 to 7 days long if 7 to 30 days and very long it more than 30 days Frequency Is expressed as none very rare rare occasional frequent and very frequent None means that flooding is not probable very rare that it is very unlikely but possible under extremely unusual weather conditions (the chance of flooding is less than 1 percent In any year) rare that it is unlikely but possible under unusual weather conditions (the chance of flooding is 1 to 5 percent in any year) occasional that it ocours infrequently undel normal weather oondillons (the chance of flooding is 5 to 50 percent in any year) frequent that it Is likely to occur often under nonnat weather conditions (the chance of flooding is more than 50 percent in any year but is tess than 50 percent in all months in any year) and very frequent that it is likely to occur very often under normal weather conditions (the chance of flooding is more than SO percent in all months ofarw year)

The information is based on evidence in the soil profile namely thin strata ofgravel sand sill or clay deposited by floodwater irregular decrease In o~anic matter content with increasing depth and little or no hOrizon development

Also considered are local information about the extent and levels of flooding and the relation ofeach soil on the landscape to historic floods Information on the extent of nooding based on soit data is less specific than that providelt by detailed engineering surveys that delineate flood-prone areas at specific flood frequency levels

Water Features

This table gives estimates of various soil water features The estimates a1e used in land use planning that Involves engineering considerations

Hydrologic soilgroups are based on estimates of runoff potential Soils are assigned to one of four groups according to the rate of water infiltration when the soils are not protected tgty vegetation are thoroughly wet and receive precipitatior frcom long-duration storms

The four hydrologic soit g1oups are

Group A Soils having a high infiltration rate tow runoff potertial) when thoroughly wet These consist mainly of deep well drained to e)(cessively 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 ofmoderately deep or deep moderately well drained orwell drained soils that have moderately line texture to moderately ooarse 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 ofwater or soils ofmoderately 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 ofclays that have a high shrink-swell potential soils that have a high water table soils that have a claypan or clay layer at or near the surface and soils that are shallow over nearty impervious matenal These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission

If a soil is assigned to a dual hydrologic group (NO BID or CD) the first letter is tor drained areas and the second is for undrained areas

Surface runoff refers to the loss ofwater from an area by flow over the land surface Surface runoff classes are based on slope climate and vegetative cover The concept Indicates relative runoff for very specific oonditions Jt is assumed that the surface of the soil is bare and that the re~ntion of surface water resulting from irregulanties in the ground surface is mirlmal The classes are negligible very low low medium high and very high

The months in the table indicate lhe portion of the year in which a water table ponding andor flooding is most likelY to be a concern

Wetltlrtable refers to a saturated zone in the soil The water features table indicates by month depth to the top (upperimi() and base (lower limit) of the saturated zone in most years Estimates of tile upper and lower limits are based mainly on observations of the water table at selected sites and on evidence of a saturated zone namely grayish ccolors or mollfes (redoximorphic features) in the soli A saturated zone that lasts for less than a month Is not considered a water table

Ponding is standing water in a dosed depression Unless a drainage system is installed the water is removed only by peroolation transpiration or evaporation The table indicates surtece water depth and the duratiOtl and frequency ofponding Duration is expressed as very briefif tess than 2 days brief if 2 to 7 days long if 7 to 30 days and very long if more than 30 days Frequency is expressed as none rare occasional and frequent None means that pondlng Is not probable rare that il is unliKely but possible under unusual weather conditions (the chance ofponding Is nearly 0 percent to S percent in any year) occasional that it occurs on the average once or less In 2 years (the chance of ponding is 5 to 50 percent in any year) and frequent that it occurs on the average more than once in 2 years (the chance of ponding is more than 50 percent in any year)

Flooding is the temporary inundation ofan area 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 and water standing in swamps and marshes is oonsidered ponding rather than flooding

Duration and frequency are estimated Duration is expressed as extremely btiefif 01 hour to 4 hours very brief if4 hours to 2 days briefif 2 to 7 days long if 7 to 30 days and very long it more than 30 days Frequency Is expressed as none very rare rare occasional frequent and very frequent None means that flooding is not probable very rare that it is very unlikely but possible under extremely unusual weather conditions (the chance of flooding is less than 1 percent In any year) rare that it is unlikely but possible under unusual weather conditions (the chance of flooding is 1 to 5 percent in any year) occasional that it ocours infrequently undel normal weather oondillons (the chance of flooding is 5 to 50 percent in any year) frequent that it Is likely to occur often under nonnat weather conditions (the chance of flooding is more than 50 percent in any year but is tess than 50 percent in all months in any year) and very frequent that it is likely to occur very often under normal weather conditions (the chance of flooding is more than SO percent in all months ofarw year)

The information is based on evidence in the soil profile namely thin strata ofgravel sand sill or clay deposited by floodwater irregular decrease In o~anic matter content with increasing depth and little or no hOrizon development

Also considered are local information about the extent and levels of flooding and the relation ofeach soil on the landscape to historic floods Information on the extent of nooding based on soit data is less specific than that providelt by detailed engineering surveys that delineate flood-prone areas at specific flood frequency levels

Wetltlrtable refers to a saturated zone in the soil The water features table indicates by month depth to the top (upperimi() and base (lower limit) of the saturated zone in most years Estimates of tile upper and lower limits are based mainly on observations of the water table at selected sites and on evidence of a saturated zone namely grayish ccolors or mollfes (redoximorphic features) in the soli A saturated zone that lasts for less than a month Is not considered a water table

Flooding is the temporary inundation ofan area 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 and water standing in swamps and marshes is oonsidered ponding rather than flooding

Duration and frequency are estimated Duration is expressed as extremely btiefif 01 hour to 4 hours very brief if4 hours to 2 days briefif 2 to 7 days long if 7 to 30 days and very long it more than 30 days Frequency Is expressed as none very rare rare occasional frequent and very frequent None means that flooding is not probable very rare that it is very unlikely but possible under extremely unusual weather conditions (the chance of flooding is less than 1 percent In any year) rare that it is unlikely but possible under unusual weather conditions (the chance of flooding is 1 to 5 percent in any year) occasional that it ocours infrequently undel normal weather oondillons (the chance of flooding is 5 to 50 percent in any year) frequent that it Is likely to occur often under nonnat weather conditions (the chance of flooding is more than 50 percent in any year but is tess than 50 percent in all months in any year) and very frequent that it is likely to occur very often under normal weather conditions (the chance of flooding is more than SO percent in all months ofarw year)

The information is based on evidence in the soil profile namely thin strata ofgravel sand sill or clay deposited by floodwater irregular decrease In o~anic matter content with increasing depth and little or no hOrizon development

Also considered are local information about the extent and levels of flooding and the relation ofeach soil on the landscape to historic floods Information on the extent of nooding based on soit data is less specific than that providelt by detailed engineering surveys that delineate flood-prone areas at specific flood frequency levels

Water Features

This table gives estimates of various soil water features The estimates a1e used in land use planning that Involves engineering considerations

Hydrologic soilgroups are based on estimates of runoff potential Soils are assigned to one of four groups according to the rate of water infiltration when the soils are not protected tgty vegetation are thoroughly wet and receive precipitatior frcom long-duration storms

The four hydrologic soit g1oups are

Group A Soils having a high infiltration rate tow runoff potertial) when thoroughly wet These consist mainly of deep well drained to e)(cessively 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 ofmoderately deep or deep moderately well drained orwell drained soils that have moderately line texture to moderately ooarse 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 ofwater or soils ofmoderately 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 ofclays that have a high shrink-swell potential soils that have a high water table soils that have a claypan or clay layer at or near the surface and soils that are shallow over nearty impervious matenal These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission

If a soil is assigned to a dual hydrologic group (NO BID or CD) the first letter is tor drained areas and the second is for undrained areas

Surface runoff refers to the loss ofwater from an area by flow over the land surface Surface runoff classes are based on slope climate and vegetative cover The concept Indicates relative runoff for very specific oonditions Jt is assumed that the surface of the soil is bare and that the re~ntion of surface water resulting from irregulanties in the ground surface is mirlmal The classes are negligible very low low medium high and very high

The months in the table indicate lhe portion of the year in which a water table ponding andor flooding is most likelY to be a concern

Wetltlrtable refers to a saturated zone in the soil The water features table indicates by month depth to the top (upperimi() and base (lower limit) of the saturated zone in most years Estimates of tile upper and lower limits are based mainly on observations of the water table at selected sites and on evidence of a saturated zone namely grayish ccolors or mollfes (redoximorphic features) in the soli A saturated zone that lasts for less than a month Is not considered a water table

Water Features

This table gives estimates of various soil water features The estimates a1e used in land use planning that Involves engineering considerations

Hydrologic soilgroups are based on estimates of runoff potential Soils are assigned to one of four groups according to the rate of water infiltration when the soils are not protected tgty vegetation are thoroughly wet and receive precipitatior frcom long-duration storms

The four hydrologic soit g1oups are

Group A Soils having a high infiltration rate tow runoff potertial) when thoroughly wet These consist mainly of deep well drained to e)(cessively 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 ofmoderately deep or deep moderately well drained orwell drained soils that have moderately line texture to moderately ooarse 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 ofwater or soils ofmoderately 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 ofclays that have a high shrink-swell potential soils that have a high water table soils that have a claypan or clay layer at or near the surface and soils that are shallow over nearty impervious matenal These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission

If a soil is assigned to a dual hydrologic group (NO BID or CD) the first letter is tor drained areas and the second is for undrained areas

Surface runoff refers to the loss ofwater from an area by flow over the land surface Surface runoff classes are based on slope climate and vegetative cover The concept Indicates relative runoff for very specific oonditions Jt is assumed that the surface of the soil is bare and that the re~ntion of surface water resulting from irregulanties in the ground surface is mirlmal The classes are negligible very low low medium high and very high

The months in the table indicate lhe portion of the year in which a water table ponding andor flooding is most likelY to be a concern

Wetltlrtable refers to a saturated zone in the soil The water features table indicates by month depth to the top (upperimi() and base (lower limit) of the saturated zone in most years Estimates of tile upper and lower limits are based mainly on observations of the water table at selected sites and on evidence of a saturated zone namely grayish ccolors or mollfes (redoximorphic features) in the soli A saturated zone that lasts for less than a month Is not considered a water table

Ponding is standing water in a dosed depression Unless a drainage system is installed the water is removed only by peroolation transpiration or evaporation The table indicates surtece water depth and the duratiOtl and frequency ofponding Duration is expressed as very briefif tess than 2 days brief if 2 to 7 days long if 7 to 30 days and very long if more than 30 days Frequency is expressed as none rare occasional and frequent None means that pondlng Is not probable rare that il is unliKely but possible under unusual weather conditions (the chance ofponding Is nearly 0 percent to S percent in any year) occasional that it occurs on the average once or less In 2 years (the chance of ponding is 5 to 50 percent in any year) and frequent that it occurs on the average more than once in 2 years (the chance of ponding is more than 50 percent in any year)

Flooding is the temporary inundation ofan area 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 and water standing in swamps and marshes is oonsidered ponding rather than flooding

Duration and frequency are estimated Duration is expressed as extremely btiefif 01 hour to 4 hours very brief if4 hours to 2 days briefif 2 to 7 days long if 7 to 30 days and very long it more than 30 days Frequency Is expressed as none very rare rare occasional frequent and very frequent None means that flooding is not probable very rare that it is very unlikely but possible under extremely unusual weather conditions (the chance of flooding is less than 1 percent In any year) rare that it is unlikely but possible under unusual weather conditions (the chance of flooding is 1 to 5 percent in any year) occasional that it ocours infrequently undel normal weather oondillons (the chance of flooding is 5 to 50 percent in any year) frequent that it Is likely to occur often under nonnat weather conditions (the chance of flooding is more than 50 percent in any year but is tess than 50 percent in all months in any year) and very frequent that it is likely to occur very often under normal weather conditions (the chance of flooding is more than SO percent in all months ofarw year)

The information is based on evidence in the soil profile namely thin strata ofgravel sand sill or clay deposited by floodwater irregular decrease In o~anic matter content with increasing depth and little or no hOrizon development

Also considered are local information about the extent and levels of flooding and the relation ofeach soil on the landscape to historic floods Information on the extent of nooding based on soit data is less specific than that providelt by detailed engineering surveys that delineate flood-prone areas at specific flood frequency levels
