Very poor for all other wildlife uses. <br /> Comparison of this Site to Typical Soils <br /> On this site, the soil is atypical. It is more organic than the typical soil. Also, the 11 inch dark <br /> layer usually found in this soil is usually about 4 to 7 inches deep on this site. Apparently this <br /> difference is due to historical factors. <br /> At some time farming was apparently attempted on this land. There is slight evidence of very <br /> old furrowing. It does not appear the attempt lasted long. The site appears to have been replanted. At <br /> any rate, the thinness of the upper layer may have been due to wind erosion,perhaps subsequent to <br /> Daniels Sand Pit#2 Amendment (2008) Exhibit I Page 4 of 8 <br />
