Report —Prime and other Important Farmlands Sanitary Facilities This folder contains a collection of tabular reports that present soil interpretations related to sanitary facilities. The reports (tables) include all selected map units and components for each map unit, limiting features and interpretive ratings. Sanitary facilities interpretations are tools designed to guide the user in site selection for the safe disposal of sewage and solid waste. Example interpretations include septic tank absorption fields, sewage lagoons, and sanitary landfills.

Rating class terms indicate the extent to which the soils are limited by all of the soil features that affect these uses. Not limited indicates that the soil has features that are very favorable for the specified use. Good performance and very low maintenance can be expected. Somewhat limited indicates that the soil has features that are moderately favorable for the specified use. The limitations can be overcome or minimized by special planning, design, or installation. Fair performance and moderate maintenance can be expected. Very limited indicates that the soil has one or more features that are unfavorable for the specified use. The limitations generally cannot 51 1 Altvan loam, 0 to 1 percent slopes Not prime farmland Prime farmland if drained and either protected 3 Aquolls and Aquents, gravelly substratum from flooding or not frequently flooded during the growing season 8 Ascalon loam, 0 to 1 percent slopes Prime farmland if irrigated 10 Bankard sandy loam, 0 to 3 percent slopes Prime farmland if irrigated and the product of I (soil erodibility) x C (climate factor) does not exceed 60 68 Not prime farmland Ustic Torriorthents, moderately steep 85 Water Not prime farmland 86 Borrow Pits _ Not prime farmland Sanitary Facilities This folder contains a collection of tabular reports that present soil interpretations related to sanitary facilities.
