              This soil survey report contains information that can be
         used in land-planning programs in the Mattawoman Watershed in
         Charles County, Maryland. It contains predictions of soil
         behavior for selected land uses. The report also highlights
         limitations and hazards inherent in the soil, improvements needed
         to overcome the limitations, and the impact of selected land uses
         on the environment.

              Great differences in soil properties can occur within short
         distances. Some soils are seasonally wet or subject to flooding
         Some are shallow to bedrock. Some are too unstable to be used as
         a foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils are
         poorly suited to use as septic tank absorption fields. A high
         water table makes a soil poorly suited to basements or
         underground installations.

              These and many other soil properties that affect land use
         are described in this soil survey. The location of each soil is
         shown on the detailed soil maps. Each soil in the survey area is
         described. Information on specific uses is given for each soil.
         Help in using this publication and additional information is
         available at the local office of the Soil Conservation Service.

                           SOIL SURVEY OF MATTAWOMAN WATERSHED
                                 CHARLES COUNTY, MARYLAND

                                    By George P. Demas
                                            and
                             The Maryland State Office Staff
                                Soil Conservation Service



                                       INTRODUCTION



                Mattawoman Creek, a tributary of the Potomac River, is
           approximately 24 miles long, of which 11 miles comprise the
           boundary between Charles and Prince Georges Counties. Old
           Woman's Run and Piney Branch are the two main tributaries of
           Mattawoman Creek. The watershed takes up about one-fifth of the
           land area of Charles County, or about 46,900 acres. It is
           located entirely within the mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain province.
                The landscapes within the watershed are extremely dissected
           and are characterized by rolling uplands between very steep and
           deep stream cuts. In the eastern section of the watershed near
           Waldorf, the elevations are above 200 feet, while at the western
           end near the outlet to the Potomac, elevations range from 0 to 40
           feet. The higher elevations are dominated by soils that
           developed in a relatively thin mantle of loamy or sandy material
           overlying extensive gravel beds. These gravel beds are believed
           to be ancient remnants of Potomac River deposits. The lower
           elevations are located on terraces of the Potomac River, such as
           those along the Indian Head and Stump Neck area and are
           characterized by more silty and poorly drained soils. The main
           floodplain along Mattawoman Creek is, at places, from 3/4 to one
           mile wide. This area is dominated by alluvial soils varying in
           texture, but dominantly poorly and somewhat poorly drained.      This
           area is also subject to flooding. In some locations, the
           waterway becomes extremeley braided and does not not have a
           definable main channel.
                Mattawoman Creek was at one time a significant waterway for
           both Native Americans and European settlers in terms of
           transportation and food supply. At present, due to
           sedimentation, Mattawoman Creek is no longer navigable. The main
           concern now is prevention of further environmental degradation.
           Development within the watershed continues at a great pace and is
           expected to do so for quite some time. The Waldorf/St. Charles
           area has experienced the greatest amount of growth due to its
           proximatey to Washington, DC.
                This report serves as an update to the 1974 Soil Survey of
           Charles County of approximately 28,148 acres of the Mattawoman
           Creek watershed.
















                                HOW THIS gURVEY WAS MAD

           Major field work for this soil survey was performed during May,
           June and July of 1991.    The text and maps were prepared during
           July 1991.

           This survey was made to provide information about the soils of
           the Mattawoman Watershed     located in Charles County, Maryland.
           The information includes soil maps, soil interpretation tables,
           soil descriptions and an explanation of the tables.          A soil
           scientist observed the steepness, length, and shape of slopes;
           the general pattern of drainage; the kinds of native plants
           growing on the soils; and the kinds of geologic material.          He
           dug many holes to study the soil profile, which is the sequence
           of natural layers, or horizons, in a soil.        The soil profile
           extends from the surface down into the unconsolidated material
           from which the soil formed.       The unconsolidated material is
           devoid of roots and other living organisms and has not been
           changed by other biological activity.

           The soils in the survey area occur in an orderly pattern that is
           related to the geology, the landforms, relief, climate, and the
           natural vegetation of the area. Each kind of soil is associated
           with a particular kind of landscape or with a segment of the
           landscape.    By observing the soils in the survey area and
           relating their position to specific segments of the landscape, a
           soil scientist develops a concept, or model, of how the soils
           were formed. Since the soil scientist can observe only a limited
           number of holes, this model enables them to predict with
           considerable accuracy the kind of soil at a specific location on
           the landscape.

           The soil scientist recorded the characteristics of the soil
           profiles that they studied.        Features such as soil color,
           texture, gravel content, acidity, and organic matter content
           enable the soil scientist to distinguish one kind of soil from
           another.   Comparisons were made among the profiles studied and
           with profiles from nearby counties and from places more distant.
           The soils were classified and named according to nationwide,
           uniform procedures.     The soil series and soil phase are the
           categories of soil classification most used in a local survey
           such as the one presented here.

           Soils that have almost alike profiles make up a soil series.
           Except for different textures in the surface layer, all the soils
           in one series have major horizons that are similar in thickness,
           texture, and other characteristics.    All the soil series in the
           United States with the same name are essentially alike in those






                                                                             2





            characteristics that affect their behavior in an undisturbed
            condition. For example, the Beltsville series mapped here would
            be very similar to the Beltsville series mapped in St. Mary's
            county.

            Soils of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer
            and in slope, or some other characteristic that affects the use
            of the soils by man. On the basis of such a difference, the soil
            series is divided into soil phases. Beltsville silt loam, 2 to 5
            percent slopes is an example of a soil phase. After a guide for
            classifying and naming the soils has been worked out, the soil
            scientist drew the boundaries of the individual soils on aerial
            photographs.   The areas shown on the soil map are called map
            units. In most situations, the map unit is almost equivalent to
            the soil phase.

            Some map units   are made up of two or more soils of different
            series.   One kind of such a map unit is called a complex.         An
            example of this kind of map unit is Bibb-Iuka complex.

            Although the maps and their components are important, the soil
            scientist must also relate each soil to how it will behave under
            different conditions or use. As data is collected and tested for
            the key soils in a survey area, the soil scientist consults with
            engineers, biologists and others to ensure that the predictions
            of each soil's suitability or limitations for a specific use are
            accurate. Thus, the interpretations that finally evolved reflect
            the most up-to-date knowledge of the soils and their behavior
            under current methods of use and management.

                              HOW TO USE THIS INTERIM REPO

            This interim report contains information that can be applied in
            managing farms, ranches, and woodlands; help in selecting sites
            for roads, ponds, buildings, and other structures; and in judging
            the suitability of tracts of land for farming, industry, and
            recreation.


            Locating Soils

            All the soils of this area are shown on the detailed map(s) at
            the back of this special report.     Each map sheet is numbered to
            correspond with a number on the Index to Map Sheets. To locate
            the soil map sheet that includes the specific area in which you
            are interested, refer to the Index to map Sheets.
            on each map sheet soil areas are outlined and are identified by
            symbols.   All areas marked with the same symbol in this survey
            area are the same kind of soil.     The soil symbol is inside the
            area if there is enough room; otherwise, it is outside and a
            pointer shows where the symbol belongs.






                                                                                 3





           Using Interpretation Tables to Find Soil Information

           All soil interpretations in this special report are in tabular
           form.    To find the desired soil interpretation, first refer to
           the appropriate table that addresses the intended use.            Second,
           use the numerically arranged map symbol and soil name to locate
           the soil interpretation.      Say for example you are interested in
           finding out the Unified Classification of the surface layer in an
           area mapped as 2A (Beltsville silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes).
           First, you would go to the ENGINEERING INDEX PROPERTIES TABLE.
           Second, you would find soil symbol 2A and read that it has a
           classification of ML, ML-CL. An explanation of all table column
           headings may be found in the text of this report.


                 KINDS OF INTERPRETATIONS AND INFORMATION IN THIS REPORT

           Before using the information listed in the interpretatioq tables
           read   and    become   familiar    with   the   explanations    of    the
           interpretation tables given in the section, "USE AND EXPLANATION
           OF SOIL INTERPRETATION TABLES."

           The tables are the key source of information in this special
           report. The soils are rated as to their suitability as resource
           material, as to their degree of limitations for several selected
           uses, such as dwellings, septic tank filter fields, etc., and for
           recreation. The major features affecting the soil for these uses
           are also shown. Other information and interpretations given are
           the capability, soil loss factors, and potential yields for the
           soil, wildlife suitability, and woodland suitability.


                      PREPARING INTERPRETIVE MAPS FROM THE SOIL M"S

           Individual maps showing the relative limitations of soils for
           many specific purposes can be developed by using the soil map and
           the interpretations.      Ratings can be shown visually by coloring
           soil maps or transparent overlays according to the traffic-light
           color connotations to'point up the limitations for a particular
           use. A map or overlay can be made in this manner for septic tank
           filter fields, dwellings, or for any of the uses for which the
           soils are rated.      For example, soil areas that have a slight
           limitation for a given use can be colored green, those with a
           moderate limitation can be colored yellow, those with a severe
           limitation colored red, and those with a very severe limitation
           colored brown or purple to contrast with the traffic light
           colors.    once the interpretive map is complete, the patterns of
           the soil limitations are readily apparent. The user can quickly
           select areas that have potential for a particular type of
           development and at the same time identify the areas of severe
           limitations.

                         USE AND EXPLANATION OF SOIL INTERPRETATION TABLES



            Introduction

            The interpretation tables should be used only with soil surveys
            of medium or detailed intensity,          that have been prepared
            according to standard procedures of the National Cooperative Soil
            Survey.   lt is not intended that they be used with "Land-Type
            Surveys", low intensity surveys, or general soil maps.             The
            interpretations are for soils in their natural state and not for
            disturbed areas that are altered by cut or fill operations, or by
            drainage.

            The soil interpretations will   not eliminate the need for on-site
            sampling, testing, and study     of specific sites for design and
            construction of engineering works and various uses.                The
            interpretation tables should     be used primarily to plan more
            detailed field investigations   to determine the conditions of the
            soil at the proposed site for   the intended use.

            When the interpretation tables are used in connection with
            delineated soil areas on soil maps, the information pertains to
            the dominant soil for which the soil is named. Other soils, too
            small an area to map out, may occur within the soil map area.
            The interpretations ordinarily do not apply to the included
            soils.   More detailed studies are required if small, specific
            sites are to be developed or used within a given soil area. For
            example, a soil map bearing the name Mattapex also can include
            small, unmappable areas of other soil such as Keyport and
            Beltsville. The interpretations apply only to the Mattapex part
            of the delineated soil area and not to the entire soil area.

            Introduction

            In this table the different phases of the soil series are rated
            into capability classes and subclasses.        The potential yields






                                                                              5





           under high level management are estimated for important crops
           that the soil is suited for.

           Explanation and Disgussion of Items

           Class Determining Phase--Soil series are divided into phases on
           the basis of difference in slope, texture of the surface layer,
           or some other characteristic that affects use of the soils by
           man.


           Capability--In this column the different phases of the soil
           series   are   grouped   according    to   capability   classes   and
           subclasses.    Capability grouping shows in a general way,        the
           suitability of soils for kinds of field crops.        The groups  are
           made according to the limitations of the soils when used          for
           field crops, the risk of damage when they are used, and the       way
           they respond to treatment.       The grouping does not take into
           account major and generally expensive landforming that would
           change slope, depth, or other characteristics of the soils; does
           not take     into consideration possible       but unlikely      major
           reclamation projects; and does not apply to rice, cranberries,
           horticultural crops, or other crops requiring special management.

           Capability Classes, the broadcast groups, are designated by Roman
           numerals I through    VIII.   The numerals indicate progressively
           greater limitations and narrower choices for practical use,
           defined as follows:


           Class     I     Soils    have   few    limitations    that    restrict
                           their use.


           Class   II      Soils have moderate limitations that reduce the
                           choice   of   plants   or   that   require    moderate
                           conservation practices.

           Class III       Soils have severe limitations that reduce the
                           choice of plants, require special conservation
                           practices, or both.

           Class IV        Soils have very severe limitations that reduce the
                           choice of plants, require very careful management,
                           or both.

           Class   V       Soils are not likely to erode but have other
                           limitations, impractical to remove, that limit
                           their use largely to pasture, range, woodland, or
                           wildlife.

           Class VI        Soils have very severe limitations that make them
                           generally unsuited to cultivation and limit their






                                                                                6





                             use largely to pasture,        range,   woodland or
                             wildlife.

            Class VII        Soils have very severe limitations that make them
                             unsuited to cultivation and restrict their use
                             largely to pasture, range, woodland, or wildlife.

            Class VIII       Soils and landforms have limitations that preclude
                             their use for commercial plants and restrict their
                             use to recreation, wildlife, water supply or to
                             aesthetic purposes.

            Capability subclasses are soil groups within one class; they are
            designated by adding    a small letter, %, X, or s to the class
            numeral, for example, IIe.       The letter _q shows that the main
            limitation is risk of   erosion unless close growing plant cover is
            maintained; w shows that water in or on the soil surface
            interferes with plant growth or cultivation (in some soils the
            wetness can be partly   corrected by artificial drainage); _q shows
            that the soil is limited mainly because it is shallow, droughty',
            or stony.

            In Class I there are no subclasses, because the soils of this
            class have few limitations.      Class V can contain, at the most.,
            only the subclass indicated by X and _q because the soils in Class
            V are subject to little or no erosion, though they have other
            limitations that restrict their use largely to pasture, rangel.
            woodland, wildlife, or recreation.

            Potential Yields--Predicted yields are for principal crops grown
            on the soil.     The predictions are based on estimates made by
            farmers, county extension agents and on information taken from
            research data. The predicted yields are average yields per acre
            that can be expected by good commercial farmers at the level of
            management which tends to produce the highest economic returns.

            TABLE C: WOODLAND MAKAGMENT AND PRODUCTIVITY


            Introduction

            In this table the soils are evaluated for their suitability for
            woodland. Each soil is given a woodland ordination symbol. The
            soils are evaluated for woodland management problems, and the
            potential productivity of important trees is estimated. Trees to
            plant are also given.

            Ordination Symbol--The ordination symbol serves to group soils
            that are suited to about the same kinds of trees and that have
            about the same potential productivity.






                                                                             7




            Each woodland ordination symbol is identified by a 2-part symbol.
            The first part of the symbol indicates the potential productivity
            of the soil for the indicator species in cubic meters per
            hectare.    The larger the number, the greater the potential
            productivity.   Potential productivity is based on the site index
            and the point where mean annual increment is the greatest.        The
            second part of the symbol, a letter, indicates the important soil
            property that imposes a moderate or severe hazard or limitation
            in managing the soils for wood production.      The letter X shows
            that the main limitation is stoniness or rockiness; W shows that
            excessive water in or on the soil is the chief limitation; T
            shows that toxic substances in the soil are the chief limitation;
            D shows that the rooting depth is restricted;       shows that clay
            'in the upper part of the soil is a limitation;     shows the soils
            are sandy; F shows that the soils have large     amounts of coarse
            fragments; R shows the soils have slopes; and    A shows the soils
            have no significant restrictions or limitations for woodland use
            or management.    If a soil has more than one limitation, the
            priority is as follows: W and S.

            Management problems evaluated are (1) erosion hazard, (2)
            equipment limitations, (3) seedling mortality, (4) windthrow
            hazard, and (5) plant competition.

            (1)  Erosign hazard measures the risk of soil      losses in well-
                 managed woodland. Erosion hazard is slight    if expected soil
                 loss is small, moderate if some measures to control erosion
                 are needed in logging and construction, and severe if
                 intensive treatment or special equipment and methods are
                 needed to prevent excessive soil losses.

            (2)  Equipment limitations ratings reflect the soil conditions
                 that restrict the use of equipment normally used in woodland
                 management or harvesting. Slight ratings indicate equipment
                 use is not limited to kind or time of year.        A rating of
                 moderate indicates a seasonal limitation or need for
                 modification in methods of equipment.       Severe limitations
                 indicate the need for specialized equipment or operations.


            (3)  Seedling mortality ratings indicate the degree of expected
                 mortality of planted seedlings when plant competition is not
                 a limiting factor. Normal rainfall, good planting stock and
                 proper planting are assumed.       A slight rating indicates
                 expected mortality is less than 25 percent. Moderate rating
                 indicates a 25 to 50 percent loss; and severe indicates over
                 50 percent loss of seedling.

            (4)  Windthrow hazald ratings reflect the danger of trees being
                 blown over by wind.      A rating of slight indicates that
                 normally there are no trees blown down by the wind, a rating






                                                                               8




                 of moderate that some trees are expected to blow down during
                 periods of excessive soil wetness and high wind, and a
                 rating of severe that many trees are expected to blow down
                 during periods of soil wetness with moderate or high winds.

            (5)  Plant competition refers to the invasion or growth of
                 undesirable species on different kinds of soil when openings
                 are made in the canopy.     A rating of slight indicates that
                 competition will not prevent adequate natural regeneration
                 and early growth or interfere with adequate development of
                 planted seedlings, a rating of moderatft that competition
                 will   delay natural or artificial          regeneration,     both
                 establishment and growth rate, but will not prevent the
                 eventual development of fully stocked normal stands and a
                 rating of severe that competition will prevent adequate
                 natural or artificial regeneration without intensive site
                 preparation and maintenance treatments such as weeding.


            Q@mmon Trees--This is a list of some of the commercially
            important trees which are adapted to the soil.         These are the
            trees   which   woodland    managers   will    generally    favor    in
            intermediate or improvement cuttings.

            jite Index--This is the average height of      dominant trees at age
            50.

            Lroductivity Class represents an expected     volume produced by the
            most important trees, expressed in cubic     meters per hectare per
            year.   Cubic meters per hectare can be converted to cubic feet
            per acre by multiplying by 14.3.      It can be converted to board
            feet by multiplying by a factor of about 71; or to convert cubic
            f eet per acre to cords per acre, divide the cubic feet by 85.
            For example, a productivity class of 8 means the soil can be
            expected to produce 114 cubic feet per year at the point where
            mean annual increment culminates, which is about 568 board feet
            per acre per year; or about 1.3 cords per acre per year.

            Trees to Plant-- This is a list of trees suitable to plant for
            commercial wood production.

            TJIMLE D.- WILDLIFE HABITAT

            Introduction

            Soils directly influence kinds and amounts of vegetation and
            amounts of water available, and in this way indirectly influence
            the kinds of wildlife that can live in an area.       Soil properties
            that affect the growth of wildlife habitat are: (1) thickness of
            soil useful to crops, (2) surface texture, (3) available water
            capacity to a 40-inch depth, (4) wetness, (5) surface stoniness






                                                                           9





           or rockiness,   (6) flood hazard, (7) slope, and (8) permeability
           of the soil to air and water.

           ln this table, soils are rated for producing eight elements of
           wildlife habitat and for three groups, or kinds, of wildlife.
           The ratings indicate relative suitability for various elements.
           A rating of  good means the element or kind of habitat generally
           is easily    created, improved, and maintained.        Few or no
           limitations  affect management in this category and satisfactory
           results are expected when the soil is used for the prescribed
           purpose.

           A rating of fair means the element or kind of habitat can be
           improved, maintained, or created in most places.           Moderate
           intensity of management and fairly frequent attention may be
           required for satisfactory results, however.

           A rating of poor means the element of wildlife and limitations
           for the designated use are rather severe.         Habitats can be
           improved, maintained, or created in most places, but management
           is difficult and requires intensive effort.

           A rating of very poor means the elements of wildlife habitat are
           very severe and that unsatisfactory results are to be expected.
           It is either impossible or impractical to improve, maintain, or
           create habitats on soils in this category.

           Explanation of Items

           Potential for habitat elements--Each soil is rated according to
           its suitability for producing various kinds of plants and other
           elements that make up wildlife habitats.    The ratings take into
           account mainly the characteristics of the soils and closely
           related natural factors of the environment.      They do not take
           into account climate,      present use of soils,       or present
           distribution of wildlife and people. For this reason, selection
           of a site for development as a habitat for wildlife requires
           inspection at the site.


           Grain and seed are annual grain-producing plants such as corn,
           wheat, and soybeans.

           Grass and legumes--Making up the group are domestic grasses and
           legumes that are established by planting. They provide food and
           cover for wildlife.       Grasses include fescue, timothy, and
           bromegrass; legumes include annual lespedeza, clover,            and
           alfalfa.

           Wild herbaceous--This group consists of native or introduced
           perennial grasses, forbs, and weeds that provide food and cover







                                                                                10





            for upland wildlife.       Examples of wild herbaceous plants are
            bluestem, goldenrod, beggar-ticks, quackgrass, and ragweed.

            Hardwood trees are nonconiferous trees, shrubs, and woody vines
            that produce wildlife food in the form of fruits, nuts,           buds,
            catkins, or browse.     Such plants commonly grow in their natural
            environment, but they may be planted and developed through
            wildlife management programs.      Typical species in this catego@y
            are oak, birch, cherry, maple, apple, hawthorn, dogwood, hickory,
            blackberry, and blueberry.

            @;!oniferous Plants are cone-bearing trees and shrubs that provide
            cover and frequently furnish food in the form of browse, seeds,
            or fruitlike cones.        They commonly grow in their natural
            environment, but they may be planted and managed. Typical plants
            in this category are pines, spruce, yew, cedar, and hemlock.

            Shrubs--This column is not applicable to soils in Maryland
            and a dash is used to indicate this.

            Wetland iplanta are annual and perennial herbaceous plants that
            grow wild on moist and wet sites.       They furnish food and cover
            mostly for wetland wildlife. Typical examples of wetland plants
            are smartweed, arrowhead, burrweed, pickerel weed, cordgrass,
            rushes, sedges, and reeds.      Submerged and floating aquatics are
            not included in this category.

            Shallow water--This includes impoundments or excavations for
            controlling water, generally not more than five feet deep, to
            create habitats that are suitable for waterfowl.             Some are
            designed to be drained, planted, and then flooded; others are
            permanent impoundments that grow submerged aquatics.

            Pgtential as habitat for--The soils are rated according to their
            suitability as habitat for (1) openland wildlife, (2) woodland
            wildlife, and (3) wetland wildlife. These ratings are related to
            ratings made for elements of habitat.       For example, soils rated
            unsuited for shallow water developments are rated unsuited for
            wetland wildlife.

            (1)  Openland wildlife are birds and mammals that normally live
                 in meadows, pastures, and open areas where grasses, herbs,
                 and shrubby plants grow.      Quail, doves, meadowlarks, field
                 sparrows cottontail rabbits, and foxes are typical examples
                 of openl@nd wildlife.

            (2)  Woodland wildlife are birds and mammals that normally live
                 in wooded areas of hardwood trees, coniferous trees, and
                 shrubs.     Thrushes, wild turkeys,       deer, squirrels, and
                 raccoons are typical examples of woodland wildlife.











           (3) Wetland wildlife are birds and mammals that normally live in
                wet areas, marshes, and swamps. Ducks, geese, rails, shore
                birds, and herons are typical examples of wetland wildlife.

           Rangeland wildlife is not rated in Maryland since woodland
                wildlife
           is rated and is applicable to Maryland conditions and soils.

           TABLE E: RECREATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

           Soils are rated according to limitations that affect their
           suitability for camp areas, picnic area, playground, and paths
           and trails and golf fairways. Not considered in this rating, but
           important in evaluation of a site are location, accessibility of
           the areas, size and shape of the area and its scenic quality, the
           ability of the soil to support vegetation, access to water,
           potential water impoundment sites available, and either access to
           public service lines or capacity of the soil to absorb septic
           tank effluent. Soils subject to flooding and the season when it
           occurs are important considerations.         Onsite assessment of
           duration and frequency of flooding is        essential in planning
           recreational facilities.

           (a)  Camp Areas are tracts of land used      intensively for tents,
                trailers and campers, and the accompanying activities of
                outdoor living. Camp areas require such site preparation as
                shaping and leveling, areas for tent and parking area,
                stabilizing roads and intensively used areas, and installing
                sanitary facilities and utility lines.         Camp areas are
                subject to heavy foot traffic and some vehicular traffic.
                The soils are rated on the basis of soil properties that
                influence the ease of developing camping areas and the
                performance of the camping area after development.          Soil
                properties that influence trafficability and promote the
                growth of vegetation after heavy use are important.

                Slope, stoniness, and depth to bedrock or cemented pan are
                the main concerns in development camp areas.          For good
                trafficability, the surface of the picnic areas should
                absorb rainfall readily, remain firm to heavy foot traffic,
                and not be dusty when dry.     Soil properties that influence
                trafficability are texture of the surface layer, wetness,
                permeability and large stones. Slow permeability and clayey
                surface texture are not as severe a limitation in dry
                regions of the country, however, silty soils may be more of
                a problem because they are dusty.        Soil properties that
                influence the growth of plants are depth to bedrock,
                permeability, and the presence of toxic materials.

           (b)  Picnic areas are natural or landscape tracts used primarily
                for preparing meals and eating outdoors.       These areas are






                                                                              1 :2






                 subject to heavy foot traffic.      most vehicular traf f ic is
                 confined to access roads and parking lots.      Soils are rated
                 on the basis of properties that influence development costs
                 of shaping sites, traf f icability, and growth of vegetation
                 after development.

                 Slope and stoniness are the main concerns in developing
                 picnic area.     For good   trafficiability, the surface of
                 picnic areas should absorb rainfall readily, remain firm to
                 heavy foot traffic, and      not be dusty when dry.          Soil
                 properties that influence trafficability are texture of the
                 surface layer, wetness,     permeability, and large stones.
                 Slow permeability and    clayey surface texture are not as
                 severe a limitation in dry regions of the country; however      '
                 the silty soils may be more of a problem because they are
                 dusty. Soil properties that influence the growth of plants
                 are depth to bedrock,     permeability, and the presence of
                 toxic materials.

            (c)  Playgrounds   are areas   used intensively for games such as
                 baseball, football, and similar activities.          Playgrounds
                 require a     nearly level soil that is free of stones and
                 that can withstand heavy foot traffic and still maintain
                 adequate vegetation.      Soils are rated on the basis of
                 properties that
                 influence cost of shaping, trafficability, and growth of
                 vegetation.

            (d)  Paths and Trails are used for walking, horseback riding, and
                 other uses and require little or no cutting or filling. The
                 soils   are   rated   on   the   properties    that    influence
                 trafficability and erodibility.

                 These are stoniness, wetness,   texture of the surface layer,
                 slope, flooding, erodibility, and in dry regions, dustiness.

            (e)  Golf fairways are subject to heavy foot traffic and some
                 light vehicular traffic.        Cutting or filling may be
                 required. The best soils for    use as golf fairways are firm
                 when wet, are not dusty when dry, and are not subject to
                 prolonged flooding during the period of use.          They have
                 moderate slopes and no stones or boulders on the surface.
                 The suitability of the soil for tree or greens is not
                 considered in rating the soils.

            TABLE Fl/F2 ENGINEERING INDEX PROPERTIES

            Introduction

            This table gives estimates of the engineering classification and
            of the range of index properties for major layers of each soil in






                                                                              13





           the survey area.    Although the soils bearing the same name are
           similar between counties and states, the physical and chemical
           properties of these soils may vary somewhat from one county to
           another and one state to another; however, the properties of the
           soil at any location should fall within the range of the
           estimates given for the soil series on the interpretation table.
           For some soils, some of the physical and chemical properties are
           based on test data; in others, these are best estimates based on
           test data on similar soils.


           Explanation of Items

           Depth (In.)--The depth in inches of the major soil horizons that
           have similar properties are given in this column.

           USDA Texture--The USDA texture is based on the relative amounts
           of sand, silt, and clay in a soil, giving rise to textural
           classes such as sand, sandy loam, loam, clay loam, and clay.
           (USDA Handbook No. 18, SOIL SURVEY MANUAL)

           Unified   Classification--In    the   Unified   System,   soils    are
           classified according to particle size distribution, plasticity,
           liquid limit, and organic matter.        Soils are grouped in 15
           classes.    There are eight classes of coarse-grained soils,
           identified as GW, GP, GM, GC, SW, SP, SM, and SC; six classes of
           fine-grained soils, identified as ML, CL, OL, MH, CH, and OH; and
           one class of highly organic soils, identified as PT.        Soils on
           the borderline between two classes are designated by symbols for
           both classes; for example, SP-SM.

           AASHTO Clasgification--The AASHO system is used to classify soils
           according to those properties that affect use in highway
           construction and maintenance.     In this system, a soil is placed
           in one of seven basic groups ranging from A-1 through A-7 on the
           @asis of grain-size distribution, liquid limit, and plasticity
           index. In group A-1 are gravelly soils of high bearing strength,
           or the best soils for subgrade (foundation).           At the other
           extreme, in group A-7, are clay soils that have low strength when
           wet and that are the poorest soils for subgrade. The A-1, A-2,
           and A-7 groups can be further divided as follows: A-l-a, A-l-b,
           A-2-4, A-2-5, A-2-6, A-2-7, A-7-5, and A-7-6.

           Fraction Greater than 3 inches (Pct.)--Rock fragments larger than
           3 inches in diameter are indicated as a percentage of the total
           soil on a dry-weight basis.         The percentages are estimates
           determined mainly by converting volume percentage in the field to
           weight percentage.

           Percentage of Matgriï¿½1 Less than 3 inches Passing Sieve No.--The
           measured or estimated percentages of materials passing the
           numbers 4, 10, 40, and 200 sieves are given for each major











            horizon.   The percent passing the 200 sieve approximates the
            amount of silt and clay, but does include some very fine sand. A
            range is listed because of variability for a given soil.

            I.iguid Limit and Plasticity Index--These indicate the effect of
            water on the strength and consistence of soil material.      As the
            moisture content of a clayey soil is increased from a dry state,
            the material changes from a semisolid to a plastic state. If the
            moisture content is further increased, the material changes from
            a plastic to a liquid state.    The plastic limit is the moisture
            content at which the soil material changes from the semisolid to
            plastic state; and the liquid limit from a plastic to a liquid
            state. The plasticity index is the numerical difference between
            the liquid limit and the plastic limit.     It indicates the range
            for moisture content within which a soil material is plastic.

            TABLE G: PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF THE SOILS

            This table shows estimates of some characteristics and features
            that affect soil behavior.    These estimates are given for major
            layers of each soil in the survey area.

            Explanation of Items

            Clay (Pct.)--The measured or estimated percentages of a mineral
            soil separate consisting of particles less than 0.002 millimeter
            in diameter.   A range is given because of the variability for a
            given soil.

            Mgist Bulk Density--The mass (weight) of a unit volume of moist
            soil. This volume includes both soil and pores. Soils that are
            loose and porous will have low bulk densities and those that are
            more compact will have high values. A range is listed because of
            the variability for a given soil.

            Pgrmeability (In./Hr.)--That quality of a soil that enables it to
            transmit water or air. Values listed are estimates of the range
            in rate and time it takes for downward movement of water in the
            major soil layers when saturated, but allowed to drain freely.
            The estimates are based on soil texture, soil structure,
            available data on permeability and infiltration tests, and
            drainage observations of the water movement through soils. On a
            given soil, percolation through the surface layer varies
            according to land use and management as well as with initial
            moisture content. The permeability is shown in inches per hour.
            For example, in a soil that has a permeability rate of 6.0 inches
            per hour in 3 hours free water would move downward a distance of
            (3 x 6") 18 inches.

            Available Water Capacity (In./In.)--The ability of soils to hold
            water f or use by most plants.    The available water capacity is






                                                                              15





           given in inches per inch of soil for major horizons.       The water
           retention of the soil is related to the particle size, organic
           matter content, and to the arrangement and size of soil pores.
           Fine-texture soils tend to have higher water retention due to
           small pores than do sandy soils with large pores.       Estimates of
           the available water capacity for soils with normally high water
           tables may appear meaningless until one considers the possibility
           of artificial drainage or the natural lowering of the water table
           during dry seasons. Soils of the same series vary from place to
           place.   Therefore, values can deviate considerably from those
           listed.  It is commonly defined as the difference between field
           capacity (1/3 atmosphere for loamy and clayey materials or 1/10
           atmosphere for sand) and the wilting percentage (15 atmospheres)
           times bulk density times the thickness in inches of the soil.
           The formula for AWC is:

            AWC (in/in) = 1/3 (or 1/10) bar          15 bar % x bulk density,
           moist/100

                 For example, in a soil that has an available water capacity
                 of 0.10 in/in of soil, there would be 0.1 inch of water
                 available for plant growth for each inch of soil, and in 24
                 inches of soil (0.1 x 24") 2.4 inches available.

            Soil Reaction--The degree of acidity or alkalinity of a soil.
            It is expressed in pH - the logarithm of the reciprocal of the
            H-ion concentration.    A soil that tests to pH 7. 0 is precisely
            neutral in reaction because it is neither acid nor alkaline. In
            words, the degrees of acidity or alkalinity are expressed thus:

                                                              yH

                                Extremely acid             Below 4.5
                                Very strongly acid         4.5 to  5.0
                                Strongly acid              5.1 to  5.5
                                Medium acid                5.6 to  6.0
                                Slightly acid              6.1 to  6.5
                                Meutral                    6.6 to  7.3
                                Mildly alkaline            7.4 to  7.8
                                Moderately alkaline        7.9 to  8.4
                                Strongly alkaline          8.5 to  9.0
                                Very strongly alkaline     9.1 and higher



           Salinity (mmhos/cm)--The salinity is expressed      in terms of the
           electrical conductivity of a saturation extract     in millimhos per
           centimeter at 25 degrees centigrade.       The following shows the
           response of plants associated with different ranges for
           electrical conductivity of saturation extracts of soils.







                                                                              16

                                                 negligible

                             2-4                 Yield of very salt-sensitive
                                                 crops may be restricted

                             4-8                 Yield of salt-sensitive crops
                                                 restricted

                             8-16                Only salt-tolerant crops yield
                                                 satisfactory

                               16                Only a few very salt-tolerant
                                                 crops yield satisfactory

            if salinity. is zero or no problem for growing crops, a dash is
            shown on the interpretation sheet.       Except for areas of tidal
            marsh or tidal swamp along the coasts, salinity is of little to
            no importance in most Maryland soils.

            Shrink-Swell Potential--The relative change in volume to be
            expected of soil material with changes in moisture content; that
            is, the extent to which the soil shrinks as it dries out or
            swells when it gets wet.      Extent of shrinking and swelling is
            influenced by the amount and kind of clay in the soil. Shrinking
            and swelling of soils cause much damage to building foundations,
            roads, and other structures.        A high shrink-swell potential
            indicates a hazard to maintenance of structures built in, on, or
            with material having this rating.

            Erosion Factors, (K and T)--A soil erodibility factor (K) and the
            soil-loss tolerance (T) are used in an equation that predicts the
            amount of soil loss resulting from rainfall erosion of cropland.
            The soil erodibility factor "K" is measure of the rate at which a
            soil will erode.    Values are expressed as tons of soil loss per
            acre per unit of R (rainfall factor) from continuous fallow
            (three years or more) on a 9 percent slope, 73 feet long. Thus,
            the K factor reflects the rate that soil erodes when other
            factors affecting erosion are constant.        Soil properties that
            influence erodibility by water are:             those   that af f ect
            infiltration rate, movement of water through the soil, and water
            storage capacity; and those that resist dispersion, splashing,
            abrasion, and transporting forces from rainfall and runoff. Some
            of the soil properties that are most important are texture and
            organic matter of the surface layer, size and stability of







                                                                                17





            structural aggregates in the surface layer, permeability of the
            subsoil, and depth to slowly permeable layers.

            The soil-loss tolerance "T" sometimes called permissible soil
            loss, is the maximum rate of soil erosion that will permit a high
            level of crop productivity to be sustained economically and
            indefinitely. These rates are expressed in tons of soil loss per
            acre per year.   Rates of 1 through 5 tons are used in the south,
            depending upon soil depth and prior erosion.

            Wind Erodibility Groups--Soils that are subject to wind erosion
            are grouped into 8 groups according to their susceptibility to
            soil blowing. Sandy soils are most susceptible to soil blowing,
            especially during dry periods when wind velocities are high.
            Organic soils are normally wet, but they are also subject to soil
            blowing when drained and cultivated if the soil surface is left
            bare during extreme dry periods and wind velocities are high.

            Organic Matter (Pct.)--The measurement of estimated percentage of
            the organic fraction of the soil that includes plant and animal
            residues at various stages of decomposition, cell and tissues of
            soil   organisms,   and   substances    synthesized   by   the    soil
            population.   It is commonly determined as the amount of organic
            material contained in a soil sample passed through a 2-millimeter
            sieve.    Estimates of organic matter are given only for the
            surface layer.

            TABLE H:- WATER FEATURES

            This table gives estimates of various water features.              The
            estimates are used in land use planning that involves engineering
            considerations.

            Hydrologig Grouips--Soils are grouped into four hydrologic soil
            groups, A through D.    These groups are used mostly in watershed
            planning to estimate runoff from rainfall. Soil properties were
            considered that influence the minimum rate of infiltration
            obtained for a bare soil after Prolonged wettingS.               These
            properties are:    depth to seasonally high water table, intake
            rate and permeability after prolonged wetting, and depth to a
            layer or layers that slow or impede water movement.

            Dual hydrologic groups are given for wet soils rated D in their
            natural condition that can be adequately drained.              It is
            considered that drainage is feasible and practical and that
            drainage improves the hydrologic group by at least two classes
            (from D to A or B). The first letter applies to the drained
            condition.











           Hydrologic Group A--(Low runoff potential) Soils that have high.
                                infiltration rates even when thoroughly
                                 wetted and a high rate of water
                                 transmission.

           Hydrologic Group B--(Moderately low runoff potential).      Soils
                                that have moderate infiltration rates when
                                thoroughly wetted and a moderate rate of
                                 water transmission.

           Hydrologic Group C--(Moderately high runoff potential) Soils
                                 that have   slow infiltration rates when
                                 thoroughly wetted and a slow rate of water
                                 transmission.

           Hydrologic Group D-- (High runof f potential)    Soils having very
                                slowinfiltration rates when thoroughly wetted
                                and a very slow rate of water transmission.


           Flooding- -Flooding is defined as temporary covering of soil
           surface by water from any source, such as streams overflowing
           their banks, runoff from adjacent or surrounding slopes, inflow
           from high tides, or combinations of these.           Shallow water
           standing during or shortly following a rain is excluded from the
           definition of flooding. Marshes and swamps are excluded from the
           definition of flooding because water is more than a temporary
           covering.

           Flooding hazard may be expressed by one of three general flood
           frequency classes - none, rare, or common. Duration and time of
           year that the flooding occurs is given for those soils with
           common flood hazards.     Not considered here, but nevertheless
           important, are velocity and depth of flood waters.      The classes
           of flooding are defined as follows:

                None            No reasonable possibility of flooding.

                Rare            Flooding unlikely but possible under unusual
                                weather conditions.    No evidence of recent
                                water deposited sediments on surface or
                                within the pedon.     Pedogenic horizons have
                                developed within most soils.           Flooding
                                probability is so low that it imposes no more
                                than slight or moderate soil limitation
                                ratings for soil uses except those with high
                                per-acre investments, such as residential
                                developments.

                Common          Flooding is likely under usual weather
                                conditions.    Most pedons show evidence of







                                                                             19





                                recent water deposited sediments or scouring.
                                The probability of recurring floods is great
                                enough to impose severe limitations on many
                                uses of soils, such as sanitary facilities
                                and community development.    Restrictions on
                                farming may be slight to severe depending on
                                duration and season of flooding.

          Where a finer breakdown of common flooding is made, the following
          classes under common flooding are used:

                Occasional      Less often than once in 2 years on the
                                average.   Most pedons show evidence of past
                                deposition or scouring.    The probability of
                                floods is not great enough to interfere
                                seriously with farming operations although
                                some crop damage is likely.

                Freauent        More often than once in 2 years on the
                                average.  The pedon shows evidence of yearly
                                deposition or scouring.    In addition, debris
                                or other recent flood water marks are easily
                                observable on the ground, on trees, fences,
                                or bridges.    The probability of floods is
                                great enough to restrict the choice of crops,
                                cause severe crop damage, or prevent the
                                production of crops.

          Duration refers to   the length of time that the soils are flooded.
          Only duration classes for common frequency classes are given.
          These classes are as follows:

                Very brief      Less than 2 days.      Soils have sufficient
                                surface drainage so that flood waters run
                                off, and damage, if any, to crops results
                                mainly from scouring or sedimentation.

                Brief           2 to 7 days.    Relatively permeable soils on
                                level or depressional landscapes or soils
                                with restricted permeability on nearly level
                                landscapes.     Most cultivated     crops    are
                                severely affected by flooding; most pasture
                                plants and tree species are slightly or
                                moderately affected.

                Lgng            7 days to 1 month. Soils on nearly level or
                                depressional    landscapes   with     restricted
                                surface drainage or restricted permeability,
                                or both.    Only water tolerant plants can
                                survive.






                                                                                 20





                  Very Lon_q      More than 1 month.     Soils on nearly level or
                                  depressional       landscapes     with      highly
                                  restricted surface drainage and restricted
                                  permeability.      only water tolerant plants
                                  survive.

            The time of year that flooding normally occurs is expressed in
            months, for example, December-May.

            The economic and social consequences of improper land use of
            flood prone areas are serious.        Problems begin when structures
            are located in flood prone areas.            The initial development
            encourages additional construction and the installation of
            streets and utilities.       The capacity of the floodway may be
            reduced   by these kinds of developments increasing the flood
            hazard.   When flooding occurs, losses are      not borne only by the
            property owner but by the community as          well.    The public is
            usually   called upon to bear the cost of flood fighting-,
            rehabilitation, and flood protection.

            Dwellings, commercial buildings, and other high cost developments
            that are easily damaged by floods shouldn't be located on flood
            prone soils.     Sanitary facilities such as septic tank filter
            fields, sewage lagoons, and sanitary landfills built on flood
            prone soils present a health hazard. Roads and streets built on
            flood prone soils are likely to be closed during floods and may
            require extensive maintenance or restoration after floods.

            In agricultural areas the consequences of flooding are much less
            expensive, but nevertheless, may present a hazard to the
            production of crops.     The frequency, duration, and time of year
            the flooding occurs influences whether trees, pasture, or crops
            can be grown.

            Trees and pastures can withstand more flooding than crops.
            Certain short season crops, however, can be grown successfully if
            the growing season is relatively flood free.

            High Water Table--A high water table is defined as a zone of
            saturation at the highest average depth during the wettest
            season.    It persists in the soil for more than a f ew days and
            occurs within 80 inches of the soil surface.

            Most water tables occur within the soil and are measured from the
            surface of the soil down to the free-water level. In swamps and
            marshes, however, the water table is above the surface of the
            soil much of the time and water table is measured from the
            surface of the water down to the soil surface.






                                                                             21





           Soils that have seasonal high water tables are classified
           according to depth to the water table, kind of water table, and
           time of year that the water table is highest.

           The depth of the high water table from the soil surface is given
           in feet or half feet.    The range in depth reflects the year-to-
           year variation in average highest depth.      Depth to water table
           within the soil is recorded with the small number first, e.g., 2-
           3.   Water table above the soil surface is recorded with a +,
           e.g., +2; if the water table varies such that the average highest
           depth can be above or below the surface, it is recorded as
           follows:   +1-.5, with the first number indicating 1 foot above
           the soil surface, and the second number 1/2 foot below the soil
           surface. Where a water table is below 6 feet or exists for less
           than one month, 6.0 is shown under depth.

           Three kinds of seasonal high water tables are recognized within
           the soil: apparent, perched, and artesian.

           Apparent Water Table       is the level at which water stands in a
                                      dug unlined borehole.    It is influenced
                                      by the hydrostatic pressure of soil
                                      water and by pressure at greater depths
                                      penetrated   by   the   borehole,     water
                                      relations across impermeable layers, and
                                      other   factors;   in   the   absence   of
                                      evidence   that  would   permit    greater
                                      specificity,    therefore,     the     term
                                      apparent water table is used for the
                                      level at which water stands in          an
                                      uncased borehole after adequate time of
                                      adjustment in the surrounding soil.

           Perched Water Table        is one that exists in the soil above    an
                                      @nsaturated zone. A water table may     be
                                      inferred to be perched on the basis     of
                                      general knowledge To prove that a water
                                      table is perched, it is necessary to
                                      observe the water level in cased wells
                                      placed above, in, and below the less
                                      permeable layer.    If the water in the
                                      well above the less permeable layer is
                                      consistently higher than the other two,
                                      the water table is perched.

           Artesian Water Table       is one that esists under hydrostatic
                                      head beneath an impermeable layer. When
                                      this impermeable layer is penetrated by
                                      a cased borehole, the water rises. The
                                      f inal level of the water in the cased






                                                                           22






                                    borehole may then be characterized as an
                                    artesian water table.

                                    Areas with water tables above         the
                                    surface of the soil much of the time are
                                    characterized as marsh or swamp - marsh
                                    having herbaceous vegetation and swamps
                                    having woody vegetation.

           The months that the water table normally persists at the average
           highest depth range is shown, for example, December through
           April.

           A seasonal high water table is an important criterion in a number
           of engineering and biological uses of soils.       Its depth and
           duration influences the use of soils for septic tank absorption
           fields, shallow excavations, sanitary landfills, dwellings, and
           local roads and streets, and ease of excavation for roadfill and
           topsoil.

           The water table also influences the growth of crops - a water
           table that is near the surface during the growing season is
           detrimental to most plants.    Growing plants, however, tend to
           lower the water table through transpiration.    A change in land
           use may drastically change the wetness of an area. For example,
           a change from trees to soybeans changes the transpiration rate
           and may cause a wetter soil condition.    Changing land use from
           cropland, pasture, or forest to urban areas with streets anj
           houses covering a much larger area not only decreases th:         B
           transpiration by vegetation but also causes increased runoff.     A
           wetter soil may result.

           Table I--Soil Features

           This table gives estimates of various soil features.           The
           estimates are used in land use planning that involve engineering
           considerations.


           Explanation of Items

           Dgyth Bedrock   is given if bedrock is within a depth of 5 feet.
           The depth is based on many soil borings and on observations
           during soil mapping.   The rock is specified as either soft or
           hard. If the rock is soft or fractured, excavations can be made
           with trenching machines, backhoes, or small rippers. If the rock
           is hard or massive, blasting or special equipment generally is
           needed for excavation.

           Cemented Pan--Cemented pans are cemented or indurated subsurface
           layers within a depth of 5 feet.    Such pans cause difficulty in
           excavation. Pans are classified as thin or thick. A thin pan is






                                                                             23





           less than 3 inches thick if continuously indurated or less than
           18 inches thick if discontinuous or fractured.      Excavations can
           be made by trenching machines, backhoes, or small rippers.          A
           thick pan is more than 3 inches thick if continuously indurated
           or more than 18 inches thick if discontinuous or fractured. Such
           a pan is so thick or massive that blasting or special equipment
           is needed in excavation.

           Subsidence--This refers to the lowering of the level of the soil
           surface. When water is removed and the water table is lowered in
           organic soils and some mineral soils with low strength in tidal
           marshes, the soil will subside.     Initially, or in the first few
           years, the subsidence is most pronounced or greatest.           After
           initial subsidence, organic soils in Maryland subside or oxidize
           at the rate of about 1 inch per year.          Total subsidence is
           estimated in inches.

           Potential Frost Action is the likelihood of upward or lateral
           expansion of the soil caused by the formation of segregated ice
           lenses (frost heave) and subsequent collapse of the soil and loss
           of strength on thawing. Frost action occurs when moisture moves
           into the freezing zone of the soil.          Temperature, texture,
           density, permeability, content of organic matter, and depth to
           the water table are the most important factors considered in
           eveluating the potential for frost action.       It is assumed that
           the soil is not insulated by vegetation or snow and is not
           artificially drained.    Silty and highly structured clayey soils
           that have a high water table in winter are the most susceptible
           to frost action.     Well drained, very gravelly, or very sandy
           soils are the least susceptible.        Frost heave and low soil
           strength during thawing cause damage mainly to pavements and
           other rigid structures.

           Corrosivity, Steel--This refers to the potential for corrosion of
           uncoated steel pipe buried in the soil.      The soils are rated as
           follows:      LOW   (slightly   corrosive),   MODERATE    (moderately
           corrosive), and HIGH (severely corrosive). Corrosion of uncoated
           !teel pipe is a physical-biochemical process converting iron into
           its ions. Soil moisture is needed to form solutions with soluble
           salts before the process can operate.           The corrosivity is
           estimated by electrical resistivity or resistance to flow of
           current, total acidity, soil drainage, and soil texture.

           Corrosivity.   Concrete--This    refers   to   the   potential     for
           deterioration    of    concrete    placed    in   soil     materials.
           Deterioration   is caused by a chemical reaction between the
           concrete (a base) and the soil solution (potential weak acid).
           Special cements and methods of manufacturing may be used to
           reduce rate of deterioration in soils of high corrosivity. Some
           of the soil properties that affect the rate of deterioration are
           soil texture and acidity, the amount of sodium or magnesium






                                                                               24





            present in the soil singly or in combination, and amount of
            sodium chloride in the soil. The presence of sodium chloride in
            the soil indicates the presence of sea water. Sea water contains
            sulphates which are one of the principal corrosive agents.

            RATING SOILS FOR TABLES E.J.K.L. and m

            Rating Soils for Selected Uses

            Soils are rated for the uses expected to be important or
            potentially important to users of soil survey information.
            Ratings for proposed uses are given in terms of limitations and
            restrictive features, suitability and restrictive features, or
            only restrictive features.     Only the most restrictive features
            are listed, therefore, a soil rated severe gives those soil
            features that cause the soil to be rated severe.        There may be
            other features that need to be treated to overcome soil
            limitations for a specific purpose.         The definition of the
            ratings are as follows:

            Limitation Ratings

            Soils are rated in their "natural"            state,   that is,     no
            modification of the soil site or material is made. only the most
            restrictive features are listed.

            Slight is the rating given soils that have properties favorable
            f or the use.    The degree of limitation is minor and can be
            overcome easily.    Good performance and low maintenance can be
            expected.

            MQderate is the rating given soils that have properties
            moderately favorable for the use. This degree of limitation can
            be overcome or modified by special planning, design,                or
            maintenance.    During some part of the year, the expected
            performance of the structure or other planned use is somewhat
            less desirable  than for soils rated slight.       Some soils rated
            moderate require treatment such as artificial drainage, control
            of runoff to reduce erosion, extended septic tank absorption
            fields, extra excavation, or some modification of certain
            features through manipulation of the soil.         For these soils,
            modification is needed for those construction plans generally
            used for soils of slight limitation.       Modification may include
            specially   designed     foundations,    extra    reinforcement     of
            structures, sump pumps, and the like.

            Severe is the rating given soils that have one or more properties
            unfavorable for the rated use, such as steep slopes, bedrock near
            the surface, flooding, high shrink-swell potential, a seasonal
            high water table, or low strength.       This degree of limitation






                                                                               25





           generally requires major soil reclamation, special design, or
           intensive maintenance.      Some of these soils, however, can be
           improved by reducing or removing the soil feature that limits
           use, but in most situations, it is difficult and costly to alter
           the soil or to design a structure so as to compensate for a
           severe degree of limitation.

           THE INTERPRETATIONS WILL NOT ELIMINATE THE NEED FOR ON-SITE
           STUDY, TESTING AND PLANNING OF SPECIFIC SITES FOR THE DESIGN AND
           CONSTRUCTION FOR SPECIFIC USEg. The interpretations can be used
           as a guide to planning more detailed investigations and for
           avoiding undesirable sites for an intended use.          By using the
           soil map and interpretations, it is possible to select sites that
           have the least limitations for an intended use.

           Many soils that have a high water table have severe limitations
           in their natural condition.        These same soils, when drained
           artificially, may only have a slight limitation.                  Modern
           equipment and knowledge make it possible to overcome most of the
           limitations of soils for many urban and recreational uses.           The
           degree of the limitation and the location of the soil will
           determine the practicability of developing the soil for the
           intended    use.       No   consideration    was    given    in    these
           interpretations to the size and shape of soil areas, nor to the
           pattern they form with other soils on the            landscape.      For
           example, some very desirable soil areas are too small in size or
           too irregular in shape, or their concurrence with less desirable
           soils forms a pattern too complex to be utilized for the intended
           use. Although not considered in the interpretations, these items
           should influence the final selection of a site.

            n rating soils for nonfarm uses, it is important to remember
           that engineers and others can modify soil features or can design
           I

           or adjust the plans for a structure to compensate for most
           degrees of limitations.      Most of these practices, however, are
           costly.     The owner must be willing to live with a few
           limitations, providing the use does not violate community codes
           or regulations.     The f inal decision in selecting a site for a
           particular use is a personal one and generally involves weighing
           the costs for site preparation and maintenance.

           Suitability Ratings

           Soils are rated in their "natural" state,                that is,     no
           modification of the soil site or materials is made. A rating of
           good means the soils have properties favorable for the use. Good
           performance and low maintenance can be expected.

           A rating of f air means the soil is moderately favorable for the
           use. One or more soil properties make these soils less desirable
           than those rated good.

            A rating of poor means the soil has one or more properties
            unfavorable for the use.      Overcoming the unfavorable property
            requires special design, extra maintenance, or costly alteration.

            The limitations or restrictive         features and the      features
            affecting a particular use are shown on the tables through the

           The nature of the soil is important in selecting sites for septic
           tank absorption fields, sewage lagoons, and sanitary landfills,
           and in identifying limiting soil properties and site features to
           be considered in planning, design, and installation of these
           facilities.

            Soil limitat ions ratings of slight, moderate, or severe are given
            f or septic tank absorption f ields, sewage lagoons and trench and
            area type sanitary landfills. Soil suitability ratings of good,
            fair, and poor are given for daily cover for landfill.

            (a)  Septic tank absorption fields are subsurface systems of tile
                 or perforated pipe that distribute effluent from a septic
                 tank into the natural soil.      The centerline depth of the
                 tile is assumed to be at a depth of 24 inches.        Only the
                 soil between depths of 24 and 72 inches is considered in
                 making the ratings.    The soil properties and site features
                 considered are those that affect the absorption of the
                 effluent, those that affect the construction of the system,
                 and those that may affect public health.

                 Properties and features that affect the absorption of the
                 effluent are permeability, depth to seasonal high water
                 table, depth to bedrock, and a shallow depth to bedrock,
                        or   cemented   pan   interfere   with     installations.
                 Excessive slope may cause lateral seepage and surfacing of
                 the effluent in downslope areas. Also soil erosion and soil
                 slippage are hazards where absorption fields are installed
                 in sloping soils.

                 Some soils are underlain by loose sand and gravel or
                 fractured bedrock at a depth less than 4 feet below the
                 distribution lines. In these soils the absorption field ma-
                                                                                y
                 not adequately filter the effluent, and as a result ground
                 water supplies in the area may be contaminated.

                 Percolation tests are used by some regulatory agencies tic)
                 evaluate the soil's suitability for septic tank absorption
                 fields.  These tests should be performed during the season
                 when the water table is highest and the soil is at minimum
                 absorptive capacity.       The percolation rates do not
                 correspond to the permeability rates because they are
                 measured by different methods.      Experience indicates that
                 soils having percolation rates (1) faster than 43 minutes
                 per inch function satisfactorily, (2) between 45 and 60
                 minutes per inch have moderate limitations, and (3) slower
                 than 60 minutes per inch have severe limitations         (USDHEIN
                 1969).

                 In many of the soils that have moderate or severe
                 limitations for septic tank absorption fields, it may be
                 possible to install special systems that lower the seasonal
                 water table or to increase the size of the absorption fields
                 so that satisfactory performance is achieved (Bouma, 1974).
                 However, such considerations are not considered in this
                 report.

                 403, 3-78.

            (b)  Sewage lagoons are shallow ponds constructed to hold sewage
                 while aerobic bacteria decompose the solid and liquid
                 wastes. Lagoons have a nearly level floor surrounded by cut
                 slopes or embankments of compacted, relatively impervious
                 soil material.    Aerobic lagoons generally are designed so
                 that depth of the sewage is 2 to 5 feet.               Relatively
                 impervious soil for the lagoon floor and sides is desirable
                 to minimize seepage and contamination of local ground water.

                 Soil permeability is a critical property in evaluating a
                 soil for sewage lagoons. Most porous soils will eventually
                 seal when being used as a sewage lagoon, however, until they
                 do, the hazard of pollution is great and it is difficult to
                 maintain the constant water depth required for proper
                 operation. Soils with a permeability exceeding 2 inches per
                 hour are generally too porous for proper operation of sewage
                 lagoons and may cause contamination of shallow wells.
                 Fractured bedrock   within 40 inches may create a pollution
                 hazard.    Bedrock and cemented pans create construction
                 problems.

                 The slope  limits are based on the specification that the
                 effluent be 2 to 5 feet deep. If shallower than this, weeds
                 grow, if deeper, it is more difficult to maintain an aerobic
                 environment.    Slope must be gentle enough and the soil
                 material thick enough over bedrock or cemented pan to make
                 smoothing for uniformity of lagoon depth practical.

                 If floodwater overtops the lagoon, it interferes with the
                 functioning of the lagoon and carries away polluting sewage
                 before    sufficient    decomposition     has    taken     place.
                 Ordinarily, therefore, soils susceptible to flooding      have a
                 severe limitation for sewage lagoons.       If, however, flood
                 waters are slow flooding and are rarely if ever more      than 5
                 feet deep--not deep enough to overtop the lagoon embankment-
                 -the   limitation    rating    is   not   severe    because    of
                 susceptibility to flooding.

                 Soil containing large amounts of organic matter are
                 unsuitable for the floor of the lagoon. The organic matter
                 promotes anaerobic rather than aerobic environment and is
                 detrimental to the proper functioning of the lagoon.

                 Depth to water table is important if it influences the water
                 level in the lagoon.     If it does, then a pollution hazard
                 also exists.    Depth to water table is disregarded if the
                 lagoon floor has slowly permeable soil material at least 4






                                                                              30





                 feet thick.       Soils   that contain rock fragments are
                 undesirable sites because the fragments interfere with the
                 manipulation and compaction needed to prepare the lagoon
                 f loor.

            (c)  Sanitary landfill (trench) is a method of disposing of solid
                 waste by placing refuse in successive layers in an excavated
                 trench.   The waste is spread, compacted, and covered daily
                 with a thin layer of soil that is excavated from the trench.
                 When the trench is full, a f inal cover of soil material at
                 least 2 feet thick is placed over the landfill.

                 Ratings are based on properties to a depth normally observed
                 during soil mapping.     However, because trenches may be as
                 deep as 15 feet or more, geologic investigations are needed
                 to determine the potential for pollution of ground water as
                 well as examination of stratification, rock formations, and
                 geologic conditions that might lead to the conducting of
                 leachates to aquifers, wells, water courses, and other water
                 sources.   The presence of hard nonripple bedrock, crevice-d
                 bedrock, or highly permeable strata in or immediately
                 underlying the proposed trench bottom is undesirable from
                 the standpoints of excavation and potential pollution of
                 underground water.

                 Properties that influence risk of pollution, ease of
                 excavation,   trafficability,   and revegetation are major
                 considerations.    Soils that f lood or have a water table
                 within the depth of excavation present a potential pollution
                 hazard and cause difficulty in excavating.

                 Soil slope is an important consideration because it affects
                 the work involved in road construction, the performance of
                 the roads and the control of surface water around the
                 landfill.     Soil slope may also cause difficulty in
                 construction of the trenches where the trench bottoms must
                 be kept level and oriented to follow the contour.

                 Soil slippage may be a problem on certain sloping soils.

                 The ease with which the trench is dug and with which a soil
                 can be used as daily and f inal cover is based largely on
                 texture and consistence of the soil.          The texture and
                 consistence of a soil determines the degrees of workabilit      'y
                 of the soil both when dry and when wet.         Soils that are
                 plastic and sticky when wet are difficult to excavate,
                 grade, or compact and to place in a uniformly thick cover
                 over a layer of refuse.

                 The uppermost part of the final cover should be soil
                 material that is favorable for the growth of plants.           I't






                                                                           31





                should not contain excess sodium or salt and should not be
                too acid. In comparison with other horizons, the A horizon
                in most soils has the best workability and highest content
                of organic matter.      Thus, for a trench-type landfill
                operation it may be desirable to stockpile the surface layer
                for use in final blanketing of the fill.

           (d)  Sanitary landfill (area) is a method of disposing of solid
                waste by placing refuse in successive layers on the surface
                of the soil.   The waste is spread, compacted, and covered
                daily with a thin layer of soil that is imported from a
                source away from the site. A final cover of soil at least 2
                feet thick is placed over the landfill when it is completed.
                Properties that influence trafficability and risk of
                pollution are the only considerations for area sanitary
                landfills.

                Flooding is a serious problem because of the risk           of
                washouts and pollution downstream and the difficulty        of
                moving trucks in and out of flooded areas.

                Permeability of the soil is an important consideration.     If
                permeability is too rapid, or if fractured bedrock          or
                fractured cemented pan are close to the surface, the risk   of
                the leachate contaminating water supplies is great. A high
                water table may also transmit pollutants to water supplies
                and is likely to restrict truck movement during the wet
                parts of the year.

                Slope is a consideration because of the extra grading
                required to maintain roads on sloping soils.      Furthermore,
                leachate may flow along the soil surface on sloping soils
                and cause difficult seepage problems in completed fills.

                Soil slippage may be a problem on certain sloping soils.

           (e)  Daily cover for landfill is the soil material that is
                applied daily to compacted solid waste in an area type
                sanitary landfill. The cover material is obtained offsite,
                transported, and spread on the area.       The required soil
                characteristics relative to both daily and final cover
                material are nearly enough alike for one rating to serve.

                Suitability of a soil for use as cover           is based on
                properties that reflect workability, ease of     digging, and
                moving and spreading the material over the       refuse daily
                during both wet and dry periods.     Soils that  are loamy or
                silty and free of stones are better than         other soils.
                Clayey soils may be sticky and difficult to     spread; sandy
                soils may be subject to soil blowing.






                                                                             3 21





                 The soil must be thick enough over bedrock, cemented pan or
                 water table so that material can be removed efficiently and
                 yet leave a borrow area that can be revegetated.            Some
                 damage to the borrow area is expected, but if revegetation
                 and erosion could be serious problems, then the soil is
                 rated severe.

                 Slope affects the ease of excavation and moving of the cover
                 material. Slope also may affect the final configuration of
                 the borrow area and hence runoff, erosion, and reclamation.

                 In addition to these features, the soils selected for daily
                 cover of landfill should be suitable for growing plants.
                 They should not contain significant amounts of substances
                 toxic to plants such as a high content of sodium or salts.

           TABLE K: BUILDING SITE DEVELOPMEW

           Soil   properties    influence development of building sites,
           including the selection of the site, the design of the structure,
           construction,    and    after    construction,    performance,     and
           maintenance.

           Soil limitation ratings of slight, moderate, and severe are given
           for shallow excavations, dwellings with and without basements,
           small commercial buildings, local roads and streets, and lawns
           and landscaping.

           (a)   Shallow excavations are trenches or holes dug in the soil to
                 a maximum depth of 5 or 6 feet.           They are used for
                 pipelines, sewerlines, telephone and power transmission
                 lines, basements, open ditches, grave sites, and the like.
                 The excavations are most commonly made by trenching machines
                 or backhoes.

                 The ratings are based on the soil properties that influence
                 ease of digging and the resistance to sloughing. Depth and
                 hardness of bedrock or cemented pan, the bulk density of the
                 soil and the amount of large stones influences the ease of
                 digging, filling,, and compacting.     Depth to the seasonal
                 high water table and flooding may restrict the time that the
                 excavations can be made. Slope influences the ease of using
                 digging machines.    Soil texture and depth to water table
                 influence the resistance to sloughing. Soil slippage may be
                 a problem on certain sloping soils.

           (b)   Dwellings without basements are single-family houses of
                 three stories or less without basements. The foundation is
                 assumed to be spread footings of reinforced concrete built
                 on undisturbed soil at a depth of 2 feet.






                                                                        33




               The ratings are based on properties affecting soil strength
               and settlement under a load, and those that affect
               excavation and construction costs. The properties affecting
               soil strength and settlement are presence of a high water
               table and flooding, and the shrink-swell behavior and
               compressibility of the soils.   Compressibility is inferred
               from the Unified classification. Properties influencing the
               ease and amount of excavation are flooding, high water
               table, slope, depth to bedrock or cemented pan, and the
               amount of coarse fragments. Soil slippage may be a problem
               on certain sloping soils.

          (c)  Dwellings with bagements are single-family houses of three
               stories or less with basements.   The foundation is assumed
               to be spread footings of reinforced concrete built on
               undisturbed soil at a depth of about 7 feet.

               The ratings are based on properties affecting soil strength
               and settlement under load and those that affect excavation
               and construction costs.     The properties affecting soil
               strength and settlement are the presence of a high water
               table and flooding, and the shrink-swell behavior and
               compressibility of the soil.    Compressibility is inferred
               from the Unified classification. Properties influencing the
               ease and amount of excavation are flooding, high water
               table, slope, depth to bedrock or cemented pan, and the
               amount of coarse fragments. Soil slippage may be a problem
               on certain sloping soils.


          (d)  Small commercial buildincLs are less than 3 stories without
               basements. The foundation is assumed to be spread footings
               of reinforced concrete built on undisturbed soil at a depth
               of 2 feet.

               The ratings are based on properties affecting soil strength
               and the settlement under a load and those that affect
               excavation and construction costs. The properties affecting
               soil strength and settlement are presence of a high water
               table and flooding, and the shrink-swell behavior and
               compressibility of the soil.    Compressibility is inferred
               from the Unified classification. Properties influencing the
               ease and amount of excavation are flooding, high water
               table, slope, depth to bedrock or cemented pan, and the
               amount of rock fragments. Soil slippage may be a problem on
               certain sloping soils.

          (e)  Local Roads and Streets- -Limitation ratings are given for
               the use of soils for construction of improved local roads
               and streets that have all-weather surfacing--commonly of
               asphalt or concrete--and that are expected to carry






                                                                                34





                 automobile traf f ic all year. The roads and streets consist
                 of (1 ) the underlying local soil material, whether cut or
                 fill, that is called "the subgrade," (2) the base material,
                 lime-stabilized soil, soil-cement stabilized soil, gravel or
                 crushed road, and (3) the actual road surface or street
                 pavement    that   is   either    flexible   (asphalt),     rigid
                 (concrete), or gravel with binder in it.       These roads and
                 streets are graded to shed water and conventional drainag:e
                 measures are provided. with probable exception of the hard
                 surface, the roads and streets are built mainly from the
                 soil at hand.

                 The properties that affect local roads and streets are those
                 that influence the ease of excavation and grading, and
                 traffic supporting capacity. The properties that affect the
                 ease of excavation and grading are depth to bedrock or
                 cemented pan, depth to water table, flooding, the amount of
                 large stones, and slope. The properties that affect traffic
                 supporting capacity are soil strength as inferred from
                 ASSHTO group index and the Unified classification, shrink-
                 swell behavior, potential frost action, and depth to high
                 water table.     Soil slippage may be a problem on certain
                 sloping soils.

            (f)  Lawns and Landscaping--The soils are rated for their use in
                 establishing and maintaining turf for lawns, and ornamental
                 trees and shrubs for residential type landscaping.            The
                 ratings are based on the use of soil material at the
                 location with some land smoothing.       Irrigation may or may
                 not be needed and is not a criteria for rating.

                 The properties considered are those that affect plant growth
                 and trafficability after establishing vegetation.             The
                 propeties that affect plant growth are the content of salt,
                 sodium and sulfidic materials, soil reaction, depth to water
                 table, depth to bedrock or cemented pan, and the available
                 water capacity of the upper 40 inches of soil.                The
                 properties that affect trafficability after vegetation is
                 established are flooding, wetness, slope, stoniness, and the
                 amount of clay, sand or organic matter in the surface layer.

            TABLE L: CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS

            Suitability ratings of 9(2gd, fair, or poor are given for soils
            used as a source of roadfill and topsoil.       Ratings of probable-
            and improbable are given for sand and gravel.

            A rating of Probable means that on the basis of the available
            evidence, the source material is likely to occur in or below the
            soil.  A rating of improbable means that the source material is
            unlikely to occur within or below the soil. This rating does not






                                                                           35




          consider the quality    of the source material because quality
          depends on how the source material will be used.

          (a)   Roadfill--Roadfill consists of soil material that is
                excavated from its original position and used in road
                embankments elsewhere. The evaluations for roadfill are for
                low embankments generally less than 6 feet and are less
                exacting in design than high embankments such as used in
                superhighways. The rating is given for the whole soil, from
                the surface to a depth of about 5 feet, based on the
                assumption that soil horizons will be mixed in loading,
                dumping, and spreading. Soils are rated as to the amount of
                material available for excavation, the ease of excavation,
                and how well the material performs after it is in place.

                Soil properties that affect the amount of material available
                for excavation are thickness of suitable material above
                bedrock or other material that is not as suitable.        The
                percent of coarse fraction greater than 3 inches, depth to
                high water table and slope are properties that influence the
                ease of excavation. How well the soil performs in place is
                indicated by AASHTO classification and group index and the
                shrink-swell potential.  Some damage to the borrow area is
                expected, but if revegetation and erosion control could
                become serious problems, then the soil is rated severe.

          (b)   Sand--Sand as a construction material is usually defined as
                the size of particles ranging from 0.74 mm (sieve #200) to
                4.76 mm (sieve #4) in diameter.      Sand is used in great
                quantities in many kinds of construction.      Specifications
                for each purpose vary widely. The intent of this rating is
                to show only the probability of finding material in suitable
                quantity. The suitability of the sand for specific purposes
                is not evaluated.

                The properties used to evaluate the soils as a probable
                source for sand are the grain size as indicated by the
                Unified Soil Classification, the thickness of the sand
                layer, and the amount of rock fragments in the soil
                material.

                If the lowest layer of the soil contains sand, the soil is
                rated as a probable source regardless of thickness.       The
                assumption is that the sand layer below the depth of
                observation exceeds the minimum thickness.

          (c)   Gravel--Gravel as a construction material is defined as the
                size of particles ranging from 4.76 mm (sieve #4) to 76 mm
                (3 inches) in diameter. Gravel is used in great quantities
                in many kinds of construction.      Specifications for each
                purpose vary widely.   The intent of this rating is to show







                                                                             3 6




                 only the probability of finding material in suitable
                 quantity.    The suitability of the gravel for specific
                 purposes is not evaluated.

                 The properties used to evaluate the soil as a probable
                 source for gravel are grain size as indicated by the Unified
                 Soil Classification, the thickness of the gravel layer and
                 the amount of rock fragments in the soil material.      If the
                 lowest layer of the soil contains gravel, the soil is rated
                 as a probable source regardless of thickness.               The
                 assumption is that the gravel layer below the depth of
                 observation exceeds the minimum thickness.

            (d)  Topsoil--The term "topsoil" has several meanings, but as
                 used here, the term describes soil material used to cover an
                 area so as to improve soil conditions for establishment and
                 maintenance of adapted vegetation.

                 Generally, the organic rich upper part of the soil is most
                 desirable, however, material excavated from deeper layers is
                 also used.    In this rating, the upper 40 inches of soil
                 material is evaluated for its use as topsoil. In the borrow
                 area, the material below 40 inches is evaluated for its
                 suitability to grow vegetation after the upper 40 inches is
                 removed.

                 The soil properties that are used to rate the soil as
                 topsoil are those that influence plant growth, those that
                 influence the ease of excavation, loading, and spreading;
                 and those which influence the reclamation of the borrow
                 area.


                 The physical and chemical soil properties that influence
                 plant growth are the presence of toxic substances, soil
                 reaction, and those properties which are inferred from the
                 soil texture such as available water capacity and fertility.
                 The properties that influence the ease of excavation,
                 loading, and spreading are the amounts of rock fragments      ,
                 slope, depth to the water table, soil texture, and thickness
                 of suitable material.     The properties that influence the
                 reclamation of the borrow area are slope, depth to water
                 table, amount of rock fragments, depth to rock, and the
                 presence of toxic material.

           TABLE M.- WATER MANAGMENT

           Interpretations of soils for water management are given as
           limitations for pond reservoir areas, embankments, dikes and
           levees, and excavated ponds (aquifer-fed), and as restrictive
           features   that   affect    drainage,   irrigation,   terraces    and






                                                                              37





           diversions, and grass waterways.       If there are no restrictive
           features the soil is shown as "favorable."

           (a)   Pond Reservoir Area is the area that holds water behind a
                 dam or embankment. Soils best suited to this use have a low
                 seepage potential which is determined by permeability and
                 depth to fractured or permeable bedrock, cemented pan, or
                 other permeable material.       The soil is rated on its
                 properties in the upper 60 inches as a natural barrier
                 against seepage into deeper layers without regard to cutoff
                 trenches or other features that may be installed under the
                 pond embankment. Excessive slopes will seriously reduce the
                 storage capacity of the reservoir area.

           (b)   Embankments, dikes, and levees are raised structures of soil
                 material constructed to impound water or protect land
                 against overflow.    They are generally less than 20 feet
                 high, constructed of "homogenous" soil material (without a
                 core zone) and compacted to medium density.          Embankments
                 having zoned    construction (core      and shell)    are    not
                 considered.

                 Ratings are made for soil as source material for embankment
                 fills. The   rating is given for whole soil, from the surface
                 to a depth   of about 5 feet, based on the assumption that
                 soil horizons will be mixed in loading, dumping, and
                 spreading.   The ratings do not indicate the suitability of
                 the natural soil for supporting the embankment.             Soil
                 properties to depths greater than the embankment height will
                 have an effect on the embankment performance and safety
                 Generally, deeper onsite geologic investigations must b;
                 made to determine these important properties.      Low density
                 silts and clays in the supporting foundations usually have
                 excess settlement and low strength.

                 Embankments, dikes, and levees require soil material that is
                 resistant to seepage, piping, and erosion, and that has
                 favorable compaction characteristics. Organic soils are not
                 suitable because of high compression, low strength, and
                 unpredictable permeability.     When compacting with tamping
                 rollers (sheepsfoot) or pneumatic rollers, stones over 6
                 inches in size must be removed, causing restrictions for
                 stony soils.    If a water table is present, the depth of
                 usable material and the trafficability are affected.

                 The content of sodium and salts affects the capability for
                 growing vegetation on embankment surfaces. These properties
                 may also indicate dispersive soils that are highly erosive
                 and susceptible to piping.






                                                                               3 8




            (c)   Excavated Ponds (aguifer-fed)--An aquifer-fed excavated pond
                  is a body of water created by excavating a pit or dugout
                  into a ground water aquifer.      Excluded are ponds that are
                  fed by surface runoff and embankment ponds that impound
                  water 3 feet or more above the original surface.

                  The soil properties that affect aquifer-fed ponds are depth
                  to a permanent water table, permeability of the aquifer, and
                  quality of water as determined by inference from the
                  salinity of the soil.      Large stones are also considered
                  because of their effect on ease of excavation.

            (d)   Drainage is the process of removing excess surface and
                  subsurface water from agricultural land.        How easily and
                  effectively a soil is drained depends on the depth of the
                  water table or ponding, soil permeability, depth to bedrock
                  or cemented pan, flooding, subsidence of organic layers, and
                  slope.   The productivity of the soil after drainage is
                  dependent on presence of toxic substances in the root zone,
                  such as salts, sodium, sulfur, or extreme acidity.

                  Properties that affect grading, excavation, and stability of
                  trench or ditch bands are depth to bedrock or cemented pan.,
                  large stones, slope and stability against caving.

                  Availability of drainage outlets is a feature that must be
                  considered in design, but is not considered in this report.

            (e)   Irrigation is the controlled application of water to
                  supplement rainfall for supporting plant growth.             Soil
                  features   are    listed    that    affect   design,      layout,
                  construction, management or performance of an irrigation
                  system.  Those features important in design and management
                  of most irrigation systems are wetness or ponding and the
                  need for drainage, flooding, available water capacity,
                  intake rate, permeability, susceptibility to wind or water
                  erosion,   and   slope.      Soil    features  that    influence
                  construction are large stones and depth to bedrock or
                  cemented pan.   The features that affect performance of the
                  system are rooting depth, amount of salts or sodium, and
                  soil acidity.

            (f)   Terraces and Diversions are embankments or a combination of
                  an embankment and channel constructed across a slope to
                  control erosion by diverting or storing runoff instead of
                  permitting it to flow uninterrupted down the slope.          Soil
                  features are listed that affect the construction of terraces
                  and  diversions    and   that   may     cause  problems     after
                  construction of terraces and diversions. Soil features that
                  influence construction are slope, large stones, depth to
                  bedrock or cemented pan, and wetness.       Soil features that






                                                                          39





               may cause problems after construction are restricted rooting
               depth, high susceptibility to wind or water erosion, and
               restricted permeability to water and air.

          (g)  Grassed waterways are natural or constructed channels,
               usually broad and shallow, covered with erosion-resistant
               grasses, used to conduct surface water to outlets at a
               nonerosive velocity.   Soil features are listed that affect
               the construction of grassed waterways and the growth and
               maintenance of grass after construction. Soil features that
               influence the construction of grassed waterways are large
               stones, wetness, slope, and depth to bedrock or cemented
               pan. The soil features affecting the growth of grass after
               construction are susceptibility to wind or water erosion,
               available water capacity, rooting depth, presence of toxic
               substances such as salts or sodium and the permeability of
               water and air.


          TABLE N: CLASSIFICATION OF THE SOILS


          The classification of all the different kinds of soil that occur
          in the Mattawoman Watershed are listed along with their taxonomic
          placement at the family or higher taxonomic class level.

          TABLE 0: PRIME FARMLAND

          All of the survey area's prime farmland soils are listed,
          including their classification code.

          TABLE P: CAPABILITY CLASSES AND SUBCLASSES

          Explanation of Items:

          Class--The land capability classes are listed.
          Total Acreage--The total acreage of each land capability class
          are listed.
          Maior Management Concerns (Subglass)--The number of acres of each
          land capability class is listed according to the major management
          @oncerns (subclass). The letter % shows that the main limitation
          is risk of erosion unless close growing plant cover is
          maintained; H shows that water in or on the soil surface
          interferes with plant growth or cultivation (in some soils the
          wetness can be partly corrected by artificial drainage ); and -4
          shows that the soil is limited mainly because it is shallow,
          droughty, or stony.

                            NAP UNIT DESCRIPTIONS


      1    Assawoman loamy sand. This soil is very deep, nearly level,
      and has a natural drainage class of poorly drained. It is
      located on lowland flats along rivers and streams. It formed in
      unconsolidated sandy alluvial sediments.

           The typical sequence, depth, and composition of the layers
      of this soil are as follows:

      Surface layer:

           Surface to 6 inches, very dark gray loamy sand.

      Subsurface layer:

           6 to 15 inches, grayish brown sand with yellowish brown
                mottles.


      Substratum:

           15 to 34 inches, light brownish gray sand with gray and
                brownish yellow mottles.
           34 to 72 inches, light gray gravelly sand with brownish
                yellow mottles.


           In some areas there are similar soils with sandy loam or
      loam surfaces. These areas make up 15 percent of the unit.

           Dissimilar soils included in mapping are Elkton and
      Fallsington soils in similar landscape positions; and Iuka and
      Woodstown soils at slightly higher elevations. These soils make
      up 20 percent of the unit.

           The potential productivity for loblolly pine on this soil is
      moderate. The seasonal high water table is the main management
      concern. Conventional methods of timber harvest should not be
      performed during wet periods to avoid compacting of the soil.

           The main limitation for water management is seepage in pond
      reservoir areas. Selection of better suited soils will help
      overcome this limitation.

           The main limitations for urban uses are the seasonal high
      water table, rapid permeability, and sloughing of excavation
      walls. These soils are poorly suited to urban uses. They are
      well suited to wetland wildlife habitat.

            The erosion potential for this soil is low.

            Assawoman is a hydric soil.

            The capability subclass is 3w.

            2A -- Beltsville silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes. This soil is
            very deep, nearly level, and has a natural soil drainage class of
            moderately well drained. It is on smooth uplands of the coastal
            plain. It formed in a thin silty mantle overlying loamy and
            gravelly alluvial deposits. These soils have a distinct hard pan
            that restricts water movement and root growth.

                 The typical depth, sequence, and composition of this soil
            are as follows:



            Surface layer:

                 Surface to 3 inches, dark brown silt loam.

            Subsurface layer:

                 3 to 10 inches, light olive brown silt loam.

            Subsoil:

                 10 to 23 inches, yellowish brown silt loam.
                 23 to 30 inches, yellowish brown silt loam with light
                       yellowish brown mottles.
                 30 to 48 inches, yellowish brown firm silt loam with
            substratum: gray mottles and yellowish red mottles.

                 48 to 60 inches, yellowish brown very fine sandy loam
                        with gray mottles.
                 60 to  72 inches, yellowish brown loam.

                 In some areas there are similar soils with 10 to 20 percent
            gravel in the substratum. These areas make up 15 percent of the
            unit. Dissimilar soils included in mapping are small intermingled
            areas of Keyport and Mattapex soils in similar landscape
            positions; and Mattawoman soils at slightly lower landscape
            positions. These areas make up 15 percent of the unit.

                 The potential productivity for loblolly pine on this soil is
            moderately high. The seasonal high water table is the main
            limitation for timber production. Conventional methods of timber

       harvest are generally suitable, but the use of heavy equipment
       will compact the soil when wet.

            There are no severe limitations for pond reservoir areas.


            The main limitations for urban uses are the seasonal high
       water table, very slow permeability, and potential frost action.
       Drainage around elevated footings, sandy backfill under
       structures, and land shaping to divert water from the structures
       will help overcome the limitations for structures with basements.
       Drainage and a raised bed will help overcome the limitations of a
       high water table for local roads and streets. Coarse grained
       subgrade and base materials will help overcome the limitation of
       potential frost action. Due to the seasonal high water table and
       very slow permeability, onsite sanitary facilities need special
       design which could include sandy backfill for trenches, enlarged
       and raised absorption fields, and drainage systems around the
       facility.

       The erosion potential for this soil is low.

       Beltsville is not a hydric soil, but this unit may contain hydric
       soil inclusions.

       The capability sublass is 2w.


       2B -- Beltsville silt loam, 2 to 5 percent slopes. This soil is
       very deep, gently sloping, and has a natural soil drainage class

                      brown mottles.
                30 to 46 inches, yellowish brown firm silt loam with
                      gray mottles and yellowish red mottles.

           Substratum:

                46 to 62 inches, yellowish brown very fine sandy loam
                      with gray mottles.
                62 to 72 inches, yellowish brown sandy loam.

           unit.

                Dissimilar soils included in mapping are small areas of
           Croom soils along the edge of steep side slopes; Keyport and
           Mattapex soils in similar landscape positions; and Mattawoman
           soils at slightly lower landscape positions. These areas make up

            60 to 72 inches, yellowish brown loam.


       The typical sequence, depth, and composition of the layers of the
       Mattawoman soil are as follows:

       Surface layer:

            Surface to 8 inches, dark brown silt loam.

       Subsurface layer:

            8 to 11 inches, light yellowish brown silt loam.

       Subsoil:

            11 to 24 inches, light olive brown silt loam with light
                 gray mottles.
            24 to 38 inches, light gray firm silty clay loam with
                 brownish yellow mottles.
            38 to 46 inches, light olive brown silty clay loam with
                 light brownish yellow and strong brown mottles.

       Substratum:

            46,to 54 inches, light gray silt loam with brownish
                  yellow mottles.
            54 to 72 inches, light gray loam with yellowish brown
                  and yellowish red mottles.


            In some areas there are similar soils with 10 to 20 percent
       gravel in the substratum. These areas make up 15 percent of the
       unit.

            Dissimilar soils included in mapping are small intermingled
       areas of Keyport and Mattapex soils in similar landscape
       positions; and Croom soils along the edge of steep sideslopes.
       These areas make up 15 percent of the unit.








                                                                          93




               The potential productivity for loblolly pine on this unit is
          moderately high. The seasonal high water table is the main
          limitation for timber production. Conventional methods of timber
          harvest are generally suitable, but the use of heavy equipment
          will compact the soil when wet.

               There are no severe limitations for pond reservoir areas.

               The main limitations for urban uses are the seasonal high
          water table, very slow permeability, and frost action. Drainage
          around elevated footings, sandy backfill under structures, and
          land shaping to divert water from the structures will help
          overcome the limitations for structures with basements. Drainage
          and a raised bed will help overcome the limitations of a high
          water table for local roads and streets. Coarse grained subgrade
          and base materials will help overcome the limitation of potential
          frost action. Due to the seasonal high water table and very slow
          permeability, onsite sanitary facilities need special design
          which could include sandy backfill for trenches, enlarged and
          raised absorption fields, and drainage systems around the
          facility.

          The erosion potential for this unit is high.

          The Beltsville and Mattawoman soils are not hydric, but this
          complex may contain hydric soil inclusions.

          The capability subclass is 3w.


          4B -- Beltsville-Urban land complex, 0 to 5 percent slopes. This
          unit consists of very deep, nearly level to gently sloping soils
          of the Beltsville series and areas paved over or otherwise
          covered by impervious materials. The Beltsville soil has a
          natural drainage class of moderately well drained. This unit is
          on uplands of the coastal plain. Beltsville soils and Urban land
          occur together in such an intricate pattern that it is not
          practical to separate them at the scale of mapping.


          About 45 percent of this unit is relatively undisturbed
          Beltsville soil and 40 percent Urban land. The typical sequence,
          depth, and composition of the layers of the Beltsville soil are
          as follows:


          Surface layer:

               Surface to 3 inches, dark brown silt loam.

            3 to 10 inches, light olive brown silt loam.

       Subsoil:

            10 to 19 inches, yellowish brown silt loam.
            19 to 28 inches, yellowish brown silt loam with light
                 gray mottles 28 to 50 inches, yellowish brown firm
            silt loam with gray mottles and yellowish red
                  mottles.


       Substratum:

            50 to 65 inches, yellowish brown very fine sandy loam
                  with gray mottles.
            65 to 72 inches, yellowish brown loam.

            In some areas there are similar soils that have 10 to 20
       percent gravel in the substratum. These areas make up 5 percent
       of the unit.

            Dissimilar soils included in mapping are intermingled areas
       of Keyport, Mattawoman, and Udorthents soils. These areas make
       up 10 percent of the unit.

            The potential productivity for loblolly pine on this soil is
       moderately high. The seasonal high water table is the main
       limitation for timber production.

            The main limitations for water management is slope. The
       selection of better suited soils will help overcome this
       limitation.

            The main limitations for urban uses are the seasonal high
       water table, very slow permeability, and frost action. Drainage

           5 -- Bibb sandy loam. This soil is very deep, nearly level, and
           has a natural soil drainage class of poorly drained. It is on
           thin drainageways on the coastal plain. It formed in sandy
           alluvial material deposited within floodplains.


                The typical sequence, depth, and composition of the layers
           of this soil are as follows:

           Surface layer:

                0 to 8 inches, dark grayish brown sandy loam.

           Subsurface layer:

                8 to 16 inches, light brownish gray sandy loam with
                     yellowish brown mottles.

           Substratum:

                16 to 38 inches, grayish brown sandy loam with
                      yellowish brown mottles.
                38 to 72 inches, gray stratified gravelly sandy loam
                      and loam with light yellowish brown mottles.

                In some areas there are similar soils with 5 to 15 percent
           gravels in the surface layer. These areas make up 10 percent of
           the unit.

                Dissimilar soils included in mapping are Iuka and Woodstown
           soils at slightly higher elevations. These included soils make
           up 25 percent of the unit.

                Due to the high water table and flooding this soil has
           severe limitations for all woodland, cropland, and urban uses.
           Selection of better suited soils will help overcome these
           limitations.

                The main limitations for water management are seepage, and
           sloughing and piping of embankments. Digging ponds deep enough
           into the water table will help maintain a sufficient water level
           in the pond during dry periods. Selection of better suited soils
           will help overcome the limitations of sloughing and piping of
           embankments.


                This soil is well suited to wetland wildlife habitat.

           The erosion potential for this soil is high due to scouring.

           Bibb is a hydric soil.

      level soils of the Bibb and Iuka series. The Bibb soil has a
      natural soil drainage class of poorly drained. The Iuka soil has
      a natural soil drainage class of moderately well drained. This
      unit is on floodplains of the coastal plain. Bibb soils and Iuka
      soils occur together in such an intricate pattern that it is not
      practical to seperate them at the scale of mapping.

     .About 60 percent of this unit is Bibb soils and 30 percent luka
      soils. The typical sequence, depth and composition of the layers
      of the Bibb soil are as follows:

      Surface layer:

           0 to 8 inches, dark grayish brown sandy loam.

               In some areas there are similar soils with that have 10 to
          20 percent gravel throughout the profile. There are
          other similar soils which have a loam surface. These areas make
          up 15 percent of the unit.

               Dissimilar soils included in mapping are intermingled areas
          of Fallsington and Woodstown soils. These areas are dominantly
          along the edges of the floodplains. These areas make up 20
          percent of the unit.
               Due to the high water table and flooding this unit has
          severe limitations for all woodland, cropland, and urban uses.
          Selection of better suited soils will help overcome these

          7B -- Bourne very fine sandy loam, 2 to 5 percent slopes. This
          soil is very deep, gently sloping and has a natural soil drainage
          class of moderately well drained. It is on ridges at higher
          elevations of the Coastal Plain. It formed in loamy allluvial
          deposits. These soils have a distinct hardpan that restricts
          water movement and root growth.

               The typical depth, sequence, and composition of this soil
          are as follows:

          Surface layer:

               Surface to 8 inches, dark brown very fine sandy loam.

       Subsoil:

            20 to 30 inches, yellowish brown sandy clay loam.
            30 to 42 inches, yellowish brown firm sandy clay    loam
                 with strong brown and gray mottles.

       Substratum:


            42 to 57 inches, yellowish brown loam with
                 olive yellow and gray mottles.
            57 to 72 inches, brownish yellow loam with very
                 pale brown and reddish yellow mottles.

            In some areas, similar soils have fine sandy loam or sandy
       loam surfaces. Also included are similar soils with 10 to 20
       percent gravel in the substratum. These areas make up 25 percent
       of the unit.

            Dissimilar soils included in mapping are intermingled Areas
       of Beltsville soils; and Fallsington and Leonardtown soils at the
       toe slopes. These included soils make up 20 percent of the unit.

            The potential productivity for Loblolly pine in this soil is
       moderately high. The seasonal high water table is the main
       limitation for timber production. Convential methods of timber
       harvest are generally suitable, but the use of heavy equipment
       will compact the soil when wet. Management practices that reduce
       the risk of erosion are essential during harvest and site
       preparation activities.

           The limitations for  water management are seepage in pond
       reservoir areas. Selection of better suited soils will help
       overcome these limitations.

         The main limitations for   urban uses are the seasonal high
       water table, very slow permeability, and seepage. Drainage
       around elevated footings, sandy backfill under structures, and
       land shaping to divert water from the structure will help
       overcome the limitations for structures with basements. To avoid
       limitations due to wetness, shallow excavations should occur
       during dry season.    Due to the seasonal high water table and
       very slow permeability, onsite sanitary facilities need special
       design which could include sandy backkfill for trenches, enlarged
       and raised absorption fields, and drainage systems around the
       facility. The use of wastewater for irrigation or sewage sludge
       as soil amendment will be limited due to permeability and water
       table.

       The erosion potential for this soil is moderate.

       will compact the soil when wet. Management practices that reduce
       the risk of erosion are essential during harvest and site
       preparation activities.

            The limitations for water management are slope and seepage
       in pond reservoir areas. Selection of better suited soils will
       help overcome these limitations.

            The main limitations for urban uses are the seasonal high
       water table, very slow permeability, slope, and seepage.
       Drainage around elevated footings, sandy backfill under
       structures, and land shaping to divert water from the structure
       will help overcome the limitations for structures with basements.
       To avoid limitations due to wetness, shallow excavations should
       occur during dry season. Planning structures to conform to the
       contour will help overcome the limitation of slope.   Due to the
       seasonal high water table, low permeability, and slope, onsite
       sanitary facilities need special design which could include sandy
       backfill for trenches, enlarged and raised absorption fields, and
       drainage systems around the facility. The use of wastewater for
       irrigation or sewage sludge as soil amendment will be limited due
       to permeability and water table.

       Bourne is not a hydric soil, but may contain hydric soil
       inclusions.

       The capability subclass is 3e.


       8C -- Croom gravelly sandy loam, 5 to 10 percent slopes. This
       soil is very deep, moderately sloping, and has a natural soil
       drainage class of well drained. It is on upland side slopes of
       the coastal plain. It formed in gravelly alluvial sediments.


       The typical sequence, depth, and composition of the layers of
       this soil are as follows:

       Surface layer:

            Surface to 3 inches, dark brown gravelly sandy loam.

       Subsurface layer:

            3 to 15 inches, brownish yellow gravelly sandy loam.

               36 to 72 inches, strong brown firm extremely gravelly
                     sandy loam.

               In some areas there are similar soils with fine sandy loam
          surfaces. These areas make up 5 percent of the unit.

               Dissimilar soils included in mapping are small areas of
          Beltsville, Mattawoman, and Sassafras soils on the shoulders of
          slopes; and very thin alluvial areas of Bibb soils within
          drainage cuts, often with an active stream. These areas make up
          15 percent of the unit.

               The potential productivity for loblolly pine is moderate on
          this soil. Windthrow hazard is moderate due to the firm gravel
          layer below 20 inches.

               The limitations for water management are seepage in pond
          reservoir areas and slope. Selection of better suited soils will
          help overcome these limitations.

               The main limitations for urban uses are sloughing of
          excavation walls, slow permeability, seepage, and slope. Shallow
          excavation walls need shoring to prevent sloughing. To prevent
          contamination of water supplies and seepage down slope, all
          onsite sanitary facilities need special design, including use of
          trenches shallow enough to be in the root zone and tile lines
          along the contour of the slope. Planning structures to conform
          to the contour will help overcome the limitation of slope.

          The erosion potential for this soil is high.

       15 percent of the unit.

            The potential productivity for loblolly pine is moderate on
       this soil. Windthrow hazard is moderate due to the firm gravel
       layer below 20 inches.

            The limitations for water management are seepage in pond

       percent of the unit.

            The potential productivity for loblolly pine is high. This
       soil has few limitations that effect the management of woodland.
       The sandy surface texture limits seedling survival due to
       possible moisture stress. Planting early enough in the spring to
       take advantage of spring rains will help overcome this
       limitation. The sandy surface also limits equipment use.

            The limitation for water management is piping and seepage in
       the substratum. Selection of better suited soils will help
       overcome these limitations.

            The main limitations for urban uses include sloughing of
       excavation walls, droughtiness, and permeability. Shallow
       excavations will need shoring to prevent sloughing. Landscape
       plants need irrigation to overcome droughtiness. To prevent
       contamination of water supplies and seepage points downslope, all
       sanitary facilities need special design, including the use of
       trenches shallow enough to be in the root zone and tile lines
       along the contour of the slope.

            Selection of better suited soils will help overcome these
            limitations.

                 The main limitations for urban uses include sloughing of

            The capability subclass is 3e.


            10 -- Elkton silt loam. This soil is very deep, nearly level and
            has a natural soil drainage class of poorly drained. These soils
            are found in areas bordering rivers or streams, and upland flats.
            These soils formed in old deposits of loamy marine and alluvial
            sediments. The soils have a fine subsoil that restricts water
            movement.

                 The typical depth, sequence, and composition of the soil are
            as follows:


            Surface:

                 Surface to 8 inches, dark gray silt loam with pale
                       olive mottles.


            Subsoil:

                 8 to 13 inches, light gray silty clay loam with olive
                        yellow mottles.
                 13 to 22 inches, light gray silty clay loam with
                        yellowish brown mottles.









                                                                         108



             22 to 48 inches, gray silty clay with light gray
                   mottles.


       Substratum:

             48 to 60 inches, light gray silty clay loam with light
                   olive brown mottles.
             60 to 72 inches, light gray sandy loam with light
                   yellowish brown mottles.


             Small areas of similar soils have a surface layer of loam or
       sandy loam. In some areas, 15 to 35 percent gravels can be found
       in the substratum. T  hese areas makeup 20 percent of the unit.

             Dissimilar soils included in this mapping are intermingled
       areas of Fallsington soils; and Woodstown and Keyport soils at
       slightly higher elevations. These included soils make up 25
       percent of the unit.

             The potential productivity of loblolly pine is moderately
       high on this soil. Due to the seasonal high water table,
       equipment limitations are a management concern. The use of heavy
       equipment during January through May could expose the subsoil
       which is sticky and slippery when wet. Unless road drainage is
       provided, harvest and planting operations will be delayed until    a
       drier period. Conventional methods of harvesting timber
       generally are suitable but the use of heavy equipment will
       compact soil.

             The soil is not well suited to pond reservoir areas due to
       seepage. Ponds should be dug deep enough into the water table to
       maintain a sufficient water level in the pond during dry periods.
       Only surface, subsurface and subsoil material should be used for
       embankments.

             The main limitations for urban uses are the seasonal high
       water table, the permeability, and the potential frost action.
       Drainage around elevated footings, sandy backfield under
       structures, and land shaping to divert water from the structures
       will help overcome the limitations for structures with basements.
       Shallow excavations are limited due to wetness. Drainage and a
       raised bed help overcome the limitations of a high water table
       for local roads and streets. Coarse grained suborder and base
       materials will help overcome the limitations of low strength and
       potential forest action. Due to the seasonal high water table
       and low permeability, onside sanitary facilities need special
       design which could include sandy backfield for trenches, enlarged
       and raised absorption fields, and drainage systems around the
       facility.

       The erosion potential on this soil is low.

          Elkton is a hydric soil.

          The capability subclass is 3w.


          11 -- Fallsington sandy loam. This soil is very deep, nearly
          level, and has a natural drainage class of poorly drained. These
          soils formed in loamy marine and alluvial deposits of the mid-
          Atlantic Coastal Plain. They are on upland depressions and
          alluvial terraces.

               The typical depth, sequence, and composition of this soil
          are as follows:

          Surface layer:

               Surface to 6 inches, olive brown sandy loam.

          Subsoil:

               6 to 10 inches, olive brown sandy clay  loam with gray
                    mottles.
               10 to 27 inches, gray sandy clay loam with strong brown
          Substratum: and yellowish brown mottles.

               27 to 40 inches, gray sandy clay loam with
                    dark brown and strong brown mottles.
               40 to 45 inches, strong brown sandy loam with
                    gray mottles.
               45 to 72 inches, gray gravelly sandy loam with strong
                    brown mottles.

               In some areas, similar soils have a silt loam or fine sandy
          loam surfaces. These areas make up 10 percent of the unit.

               Dissimilar soils included in mapping are intermingled areas
          of Assawoman soils; and Woodstown, Hambrook and Ingleside soils
          at slightly higher elevations. These included soils make up 15
          percent of the unit.

               The potential productivity for loblolly pine in this soil is
          high. Seed mortality and plant competition are severe. The use
          of heavy equipment is limited due to high water table and
          seasonal wetness.

               The limitations for water management are seepage, sloughing
          and piping. Selection of better suited soils will help overcome
          these limitations.








                                                                       110



            The main limitations for urban uses are the seasonal high
       water table, potential frost action, sloughing of excavation
       walls, and the permeability of the substratum. Drainage around
       elevated footings if an outlet is available, sandy backfill under
       dwellings, and land shaping so that surface water moves away from
       dwellings will help to overcome the high water table as a
       limitation for dwellings
       without basements. Shallow excavation walls will need shoring to
       prevent sloughing. Drainage and a raised bed for the roadway
       construction, help to overcome the high water table as a
       limitation for local roads and streets. Limitations from the
       high water table and moderately rapid permeability for septic
       tanks, absorption field, or other onsite sanitary facilities
       could be overcome by specially designing enlarged and raised
       absorption fields and drainage systems for waste management.

       The erosion potential for this soil is low.

       Fallsington is a hydric soil.

       The capability subclass is 3w.

       soil is very deep, gently sloping, and has a natural soil
       drainage class of well drained. It is on broad uplands and old
       alluvial terraces of the coastal plain. It developed in thick
       sandy deposits overlying loamy or gravelly materials.


       The typical sequence, depth, and composition of the layers of
       this soil are as follows:

            Surface to 3 inches, dark brown loamy sand.

       Subsurface layer:

            3 to 22 inches, yellowish brown loamy sand.

       Subsoil:

            22 to 38 inches, yellowish brown sandy loam.
            38 to 65 inches, yellowish brown loam.

            65 to 72 inches, yellowish brown stratified sandy loam
                  and sandy clay loam.













               In some areas there are similar soils that have 10 to 30
          percent gravel in the substratum. These areas make up 15 percent
          of the unit.

               Dissimilar soils included in mapping are intermingled areas
          of Downer and Runclint soils; and Ingleside and Woodstown soils
          in lower landscape positions. These included areas make up 20
          percent of the unit.

               The potential productivity for loblolly pine is moderately
          high on this soil. Seedling survival is limited by moisture
          stress. The rate of seedling mortality can be reduced by
          planting seedlings in early spring, allowing them to obtain
          sufficient water
          from spring rains. The loose sand in places causes poor
          trafficability for equipment.

               The limitations for water management are seepage in pond
          reservoir areas and sloughing and piping of embankments.
          Selection of better suited soils will help overcome these
          limitations.

               The main limitations for urban uses are sloughing of
          excavation walls, droughtiness, rapid permeability, and seepage
          in the substratum. Shallow excavation walls need shoring to
          prevent sloughing. Food plots and landscape plants need
          irrigation to overcome droughtiness. To prevent contamination of
          water supplies and seepage points down slope, all onsite sanitary
          facilities need special design, including use of trenches shallow
          enough to be in the root zone and tile lines along the contour of
          the slope.

          The erosion potential on this soil is low.

          13B -- Hambrook sandy loam, 2 to 5 percent slopes. This soil is
          very deep, gently sloping, and has a natural soil drainage class
          of well drained. It formed in unconsolidated loamy and sandy
          sediments of alluvial and marine origin. It is on old alluvial
          terraces of the coastal plain.

               This typical sequence, depth, and composition of the layers
          of this soil are as follows:

        Subsurface layer:

             11 to 17 inches brownish yellow loamy sand.

        Subsoil:

             17 to 36 inches, strong brown loam.
             36 to 42 inches, strong brown sandy loam.

        Substratum:

             42 to 45 inches, brownish yellow sand.
             45 to 62 inches, yellowish brown loamy sand.
             62 to 72 inches, light olive brown sand with light
                   brownish gray and light olive brown mottles.


             Small areas of similar soils have a loamy sand surface.
        These areas make up 10 percent of the unit.

             Included with this soil in mapping are intermingled areas of
        Fort Mott, Ingleside, Runclint and Sassafras soils; and Woodstown
        soils in the lower landscape positions. These soils make up 25
        percent of the unit.

             The potential productivity for loblolly pine is high.
        This soil has few limitations that effect the management of
        woodland.

             The limitations for water management are seepage in pond
        reservoir areas and piping of embankments. Selection of better
        suited soils will help overcome these limitations.

             The main limitations for urban uses include sloughing of
        excavation walls, permeability, seepage, and the seasonal high
        water table. Shallow excavations will need shoring to prevent
        sloughing. To prevent contamination of water supplies and
        seepage points downslope, all sanitary facilities need special
        design, including the use of trenches shallow enough to be in the
        root zone and tile lines along the contour of the slope.

        Enlarging the absorption fields and installing drainage around
        the field helps to overcome the effects of the high water table.
        Structures with basements need sealed foundations and foundation
        drains to help prevent wet basements.

        The erosion potential for this soil is moderate.

           14B -- Ingleside loamy sand, 2 to 5 percent slope. This soil is
           very deep, gently sloping, and has a natural soil drainage class
           of well drained. It is on an old alluvial terrace of the mid-
           Atlantic Coastal Plain. It formed in unconsolidated sandy
           alluvial deposits.


               The typical depth, sequence, and composition of this soil
           are as follows:

           Surface layer:

               Surface to 3 inches, dark brown loamy sand.

           Subsurface layer:

               3 to 9 inches, brownish yellow loamy sand.

           Subsoil:

               9 to 29 inches, yellowish brown sandy loam.

           Substratum:

               29 to 38 inches, strong brown loamy sand.
               38 to 49 inches, yellowish brown sandy loam.
               49 to 72 inches, light brownish gray loam with strong
                    brown and light yellowish brown mottles.

               Included with this soil in mapping are intermingled areas of
           Downer, Fort Mott, Hambrook, and Runclint soils; and Woodstown
           soils at lower landscape positions. These soils make up 25
           percent of the unit.

               The potential productivity for loblolly pine is high. This
           soil has few limitations that effect the management of woodland.
           The sandy surface texture limits seedling survival due to
           possible moisture stress. Planting early enough in the spring to
           take advantage of spring rains will help overcome this
           limitation.

               The limitations for water management are seepage in pond
           reservoir areas and seepage and piping of embankments. Selection
           of better suited soils will help overcome these limitations.

       15 -- Iuka fine sandy loam. This soil is deep, nearly level to
       gently sloping and has a natural soil drainage class of
       moderately well drained. This soil formed in recently deposited
       alluvium that was washed mainly from soils on the uplands in the
       county. Where these soils occur on flood plains, they are
       subject to flooding from streams. Where they occur in upland
       depressions, they are saturated with water for short periods of
       time.


            The typical depth, sequence, and composition of this soil
       are as follows:

       Surface layer:

            Surface to 6 inches, dark brown fine sandy loam.

       Substratum:

            6 to 24 inches, yellowish brown fine  sandy loam.
            24 to 34 inches, yellowish brown fine sandy loam.
            34 to 46 inches, yellowish brown loam with
                 gray and yellowish brown mottles.
            46 to 65 inches, light yellowish brown fine   sandy loam
                 with gray and strong brown mottles.
            65 to 72 inches, light brownish gray loam
                 with olive yellow and light yellowish brown
                 mottles.


            In some areas, similar soils have silt loam, loam, or loamy
       sand surfaces. These areas makeup 10 percent of the unit.

                Dissimilar soils included in mapping are Bibb and
           Fallsington soils at slightly lower elevations and Woodstown
           soils at slightly higher elevations.


                The potential productivity for loblolly pine is high. No
           significant limitations to woodland use and management are
           present. In some places, the hazard of flooding is moderate but
           this is not a serious limitation.

                The limitations for water management are wetness and piping
           of embankments for pond reservoir areas. Selection of better
           suited soils will help overcome these limitations.

                The main limitations for urban uses are the seasonal high
           water table and occasional flooding. Drainage around elevated
           footing if an outlet is available, sandy backfill under
           dwellings, and land shaping so that the surface water moves away
           from dwellings will help to overcome the high water table as a
           limitation for dwellings with and without
           basements.   Drainage and a raised bed for the roadway
           construction, help overcome the high water table as a limitation
           for local roads and streets. To overcome the high water table
           and moderately rapid permeability, septic tank absorption fields
           and other onsite sanitary facilities need special design which
           could include enlarged and raised absorption fields and a
           drainage system around the facility.

           The erosion potential for this soil is moderate.

           Iuka is not a hydric soil, but may contain hydric soil
           inclusions.

           The capability subclass is 2w.


           16 -- Keyport silt loam. This soil is very deep, nearly level to
           gently sloping, and has a natural soil drainage class of
           moderately well drained. This unit is on low-lying uplands of
           the mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain. It formed in clayey alluvial and
           marine deposits.

           The typical sequence, depth, and composition of the layers of
           this soil are as follows:

           Surface layer:

                Surface to 1 inch, dark brown silt loam.

           Subsurface layer:

                1 to 8 inches, light yellowish brown silt loam with

                  yellowish brown mottles.
            8 to 13 inches, olive yellow silt loam with light
                   brownish gray mottles.

       Subsoil:

            13 to  18 inches, light brownish gray silt loam with
                   dark yellowish brown and light yellowish brown
                   mottles.
            18 to  47 inches, grayish brown silty clay loam with
                   strong brown mottles.

       Substratum:

            47 to 60 inches, strong brown silty clay loam with
                   light gray mottles.
            60 to 72 inches, light gray sandy clay loam with strong
                  brown mottles.

            In some areas there are similar soils that have a fine sandy
       loam surface texture. There are also areas with 10 to 30 percent
       gravels in the substratum. These included areas make up 15
       percent of the unit.

            Dissimilar soils included in mapping are intermingled areas
       of Beltsville, Mattapex, and Mattawoman soils; and Elkton soils
       at slightly lower elevations. These included soils make up 20
       percent of the unit.

            The potential productivity is moderate for loblolly Pine on
       this soil. Due to the seasonal high water table, equipment
       limitations are a management concern.

            The soil is well suited to pond reservoir areas. Ponds
       should be dug deep enough into the water table to maintain a
       sufficient water level in the pond during dry periods. Only
       surface, subsurface and subsoil material should be used for
       embankments.

            The main limitations for urban uses are the seasonal high
       water table, the slow permeability, low strength, and the
       potential frost action. Drainage around elevated footings, sandy
       backfill under structures, and land shaping to divert water from
       the structures will help overcome the limitations for structures
       with basements. Drainage and a raised bed help overcome the
       limitations of a high water table for local roads and streets.
       Coarse grained subgrade and base materials will help overcome the
       limitations of low strength and potential frost action. Due to
       the seasonal high water table and low permeability, onsite
       sanitary facilities need special design which could include sandy
       backfill for trenches, enlarged and raised absorption fields, and
       drainage systems around the facility.

           17 -- Leonardtown silt loam. This soil is very deep, nearly
           level and has a natural soil drainage class of poorly drained.
           This soil is located on upland flats that commonly lack channeled
           drainageways. It formed in old silty alluvial and marine
           deposits. These soils have a distinct hard pan that restrict
           water movement and root growth.

                The typical depth, sequence, and composition of the soil are
           as follows:

           Surface layer:

                Surface to 4 inches, dark grayish brown silt loam.

           Subsurface layer:

                4 to 8 inches, grayish brown silt loam.

           Subsoil:

                8 to 16 inches, grayish brown silty clay loam
                     with light brown gray and yellowish brown
                     mottles.
                16 to 36 inches, gray firm silty clay loam with
                     yellowish brown and dark brown mottles.
                36 to 46 inches, gray firm silty clay loam with
                     yellowish brown mottles.
                46 to 63 inches, light gray firm silty clay with
                     yellowish brown mottles.

           Substratum:

                63 to 70 inches, light gray silt loam.
                70 to 72 inches, light gray silt loam with
                     yellowish brown mottles.

                In some areas there are similar soils with 10 to 20 percent
           gravel in the substratum. These areas make up 15 percent of the
           unit.

                Dissimilar soils included in mapping are small intermingled
           areas of Elkton and Fallsington soils; and Mattawoman soils at









                                                                      118



       slightly higher elevations. These soils make up 15 percent of
       the unit.

            The potential productivity for loblolly pine on this soil is
       moderately high. The seasonal high water table is the main
       limitation for timber production. Conventional methods of timber
       harvest are generally suitable, but the use of heavy equipment
       will compact the soil when wet. Seedling mortality is high due
       to the high water table.

            For water management, there are no severe limitations for
       pond reservoir areas.

            The main limitations for urban uses are the seasonal high
       water table, very slow permeability, and potential frost action.
       Drainage around elevated footings, sandy backfield under
       structures and land shaping to direct water form structures will
       help overcome the limitations for structures with basements and
       without basements. Shallow excavation are limited by the water
       table. Coarse grained suborder and base material will help
       overcome the limitation of potential frost action. Due to the
       seasonal high water table and the slow permeability, onside
       sanitary facilities need special designs which could include
       sandy backfield for trenches, enlarged and raised absorption
       fields, and drainage from around the facility.

       The erosion potential for this soil is moderate.

       Leonardtown is a hydric soil.

       The capability subclass is 4w.


       18B -- Hattapex silt loam, 2 to 5 percent slopes. This soil is
       very deep, gently sloping, and has a natural soil drainage class
       of moderately well drained. It is on lowland flats and along the
       edges of rivers and creeks. It developed in a thin mantle of
       silts overlying sandy or gravelly alluvial materials.


            The typical sequence, depth, and composition of the layers
       of this soil are as follows:

       Surface layer:

            Surface to 8 inches, dark brown silt loam.

       Subsurface layer:

            8 to 13 inches, yellowish brown silt loam.

                13 to 24 inches, strong brown silt loam with light
                      yellowish brown mottles.
                24 to 35 inches, yellowish brown silt loam with strong
                      brown and dark gray mottles.
                35 to 48 inches, light brownish gray silty clay loam
                      with yellowish brown mottles.

           Substratum:

                48 to 58 inches, pale brown silty clay with pinkish
                      gray mottles.
                58 to 72 inches, yellowish brown fine sandy loam with
                      light gray mottles.


                In some areas there are similar soils with 5 to 10 percent
           gravel throughout the soil profile. These areas make up 15
           percent of the unit.

                Dissimilar soils included in mapping are Keyport soils in
           slightly lower landscape positions, intermingled areas of
           Beltsville and Mattawoman soils, and Sassafras soils on slightly
           higher landscape positions. Also included are Fort Mott and
           Woodstown soils in areas where a thicker overburden of sand was
           deposited. These included soils make up 20 percent of the unit.

                The potential productivity for loblolly pine on this soil is
           high. The seasonal high water table is the only limitation.
           Conventional methods of harvesting timber generally are suitable,
           but the use of heavy equipment compacts the soil if it is wet.

                The limitations for water management are seepage in pond
           reservoir areas and sloughing and piping of embankments. The
           selection of better suited soils can overcome these limitations.

                The main limitations for urban uses are the seasonal high
           water table, sloughing of excavation walls, low strength, and the
           permeability of the subsoil. Drainage around elevated footings
           if an outlet is available, sandy backfill under dwellings, and
           land shaping so that surface water moves away from dwellings will
           help to overcome the high water table as a limitation for
           dwellings without basements. Shallow excavation walls will need
           shoring to prevent sloughing. The selection of better suited
           soils can overcome the limitations for dwellings with basements.
           Drainage and a raised bed for the roadway construction, help to
           overcome the high water table as a limitation for local roads and
           streets. Coarse grained subgrade and base materials for the
           raised bed help to overcome the limitation of low strength. To
           overcome the high water table and moderately slow permeability,
           septic tank absorption fields and other onsite sanitary
           facilities need special design, including sandy backfill for the

       system around the facility.

       The erosion potential for this soil is high.

       Mattapex is not a hydric soil, but this unit may contain hydric
       soil inclusions.

       The capability subclass is 2w.


       19A -- Runclint loamy sand, 0 to 2 percent slopes. This soil is
       very deep, nearly level, and has a natural soil drainage class of
       excessively drained. It is on broad uplands and old alluvial
       terraces of the coastal plain. It formed in thick sandy alluvial
       deposits.


       The typical sequence, depth, and composit ion of the layers of the
       soil are as follows:

       Surface layer:

           Surface to 10 inches, dark yellowish brown loamy sand.

       Subsurface layer:

           10 to 18 inches, yellowish brown loamy sand.

       Subsoil:

           18 to 32 inches, yellowish brown loamy sand.
           32 to 42 inches, strong brown loamy sand.
           42 to 48 inches, light yellowish brown loamy  sand with
                light yellowish brown mottles.

       Substratum:

           48 to 66 inches, pale olive brown sand with light olive
                brown mottles.
           66 to 72 inches, yellowish brown sandy loam with light
                brownish gray mottles.




           In some areas similar soils have a sand surface texture.
       Also included are similar soils with 10 to 20 percent gravel in
       the substratum. These areas make up 10 percent of the unit.

           higher elevations and along ridge tops.  These included soils
           make up 25 percent of the unit.

               The potential productivity for loblolly pine is moderately
           high on this soil. Seedling survival is limited by moisture
           stress. The rate of seedling mortality can be reduced by
           planting seedlings in early spring, allowing them to obtain
           sufficient moisture from spring rains. Once established, the
           seasonal high water table supplies water to the trees in an
           otherwise extremely droughty soil. only drought-tolerant species
           should be planted. These would include Virginia pine, loblolly
           pine and shortleaf pine.

           The loose sand in places causes poor trafficability for
           equipment.

               The limitations for water management are seepage in pond
           reservoir areas and sloughing and piping of embankments.
           Selection of better suited soils will help to overcome these
           limitations.

               The limitations for urban uses include sloughing of
           excavation walls, droughtiness, rapid permeability, and seepage
           in the substratum. Shallow excavation walls will need shoring to
           prevent sloughing. Garden and landscape plants need irrigation
           to overcome droughtiness. To prevent contamination of water
           supplies, all onsite sanitary facilities need special design,
           including use of trenches shallow enough to be in the root zone.
           Dwellings with basements need sealed foundations and foundation
           drains to help prevent wet basements. The land should also be
           shaped to divert runoff away from the dwelling.

           machinery. Most of these areas have either been reshaped,
           leveled, and filled; or consist of cuts and excavations that
           extend into the underlying geologic material. Slopes range from
           0 to 10 percent.


           The typical sequence, depth, and composition of the layers of
           this soil are as follows:



           Surface layer:

                Surface to 4 inches, dark brown sandy loam.

           Subsurface layer:

                4 to 12 inches, light yellowish brown sandy loam.

           Substratum:

                12 to 30 inches, yellowish brown gravelly loam.
                30 to 48 inches, light yellowish brown gravelly sandy
                      loam.
                48 to 72 inches, yellowish brown sandy loam.


                In some areas are similar soils with less than 15 percent
           gravel throughout the soil profile. These soils make up 30
           percent of the unit.

                Dissimilar soils included in mapping are small undisturbed
           areas of Beltsville, Downer, Mattawoman, and Woodstown soils, and
           soils that have loamy substratums. These areas make up 15
           percent of the unit.

                Most areas of this unit are on borrow pits and filled areas
           along the Waldorf Rt. 301 corridor and Mattawoman Creek. Some
           smaller abandoned areas are wooded.

                The properties of the soil material are extremely variable.
           Onsite investigations are needed to estimate the potential and
           limitations of this unit for each specific use.

           The erosion potential on this soil is moderate.

       Udorthents are not hydric, but this unit may contain hydric soil
       inclusions.

       No capability subclass is assigned.


       25A -- Woodstown sandy loam, 0 to 2   percent slopes. This soil is
       very deep, nearly level, and has a natural soil drainage class of
       moderately well drained. It is on uplands of the coastal plain.
       It formed in loamy alluvial sediments.


       The typical sequence, depth, and composition of the layers of
       this soil are as follows:

       Surface layer:

            0 to 2 inchest dark brown sandy loam.

       Subsurface layer:

            2 to 10 inches, light yellowish brown fine sandy loam.

       Subsoil:

            10 to 18 inches, yellowish brown sandy clay loam.
            18 to 23 inches, yellowish brown loam.
            23 to 37 inches, yellowish brown loam with gray
                  mottles.


       Substratum:

            37 to 40 inches, yellowish brown gravelly sandy loam
                  with gray mottles.
            40 to 72 inches, pale brown very gravelly sandy loam
                  with gray mottles.


            In some areas there are similar soils with fine sandy loam
       surfaces. In other areas there are similar soils with less than
       15 percent gravels in the substratum. These areas make up 15
       percent of the unit.

            Dissimilar soils included in mapping are Beltsville and
       Hambrook soils at slightly higher elevations; and Fallsington
       soils at slightly lower elevations. These included soils make up
       25 percent of the unit.

            The potential productivity is high for loblolly pine. There
       are few limitations for timber production.

                The limitations for water management are seepage in pond
           reservoir areas, and sloughing and piping of embankments.
           Selection of better suited soils will help overcome these
           limitations.

                The main limitations for urban uses are the seasonal high
           water table, sloughing of excavation walls, and the permeability
           of the substratum. Drainage around elevated footings if an
           outlet is available, sandy backfill under dwellings, and land
           shaping so that surface water moves away from dwellings will help
           to overcome the high water table as a limitation for dwellings
           without basements. Shallow excavation walls will need shoring to
           prevent sloughing. The selection of better suited soils can
           overcome these limitations for dwellings with basements.
           Drainage and a raised bed for the roadway construction, help to
           overcome the high water table as a limitation for local roads and
           streets. To overcome the high water table and moderately rapid
           permeability, septic tank absorption fields and other onsite
           sanitary facilities need special design, which could include
           enlarged and raised absorption fields and a drainage system
           around the facility.

           The erosion potential for this soil is moderate.

           Woodstown is not a hydric soil, but this unit may contain hydric
           soil inclusions.

           The capability subclass is 2w.
