page 3 •~ t... SOILS DESCRIPTIONS A1W Fury silty clay loam, 1 to 3% slopes. ' This is a deep silty clay loam or clay loam soil. It is noncalcareous and slightly acid to 20 inches. Below 20 inches it is neutral. Sandy clay loam or sandy loam is common below 48 inches. It is somewhat poorly drained with waterta6les being highest in the. spring and early summer. Fury soils receive some overflow and runoff from higher ground. Runoff is slow. Water intake rate is moderately slow. Water holding capacity is 2'/. to 2'/= inches per foot of soil depth. CeB Table Mountain loam, 1 to 2 percent slopes. This soil occurs on stream terraces and is quite variable in depth. Most of the area is 40 inches or more to sand and gravel but small areas, 20 to 40 inches in depth are common. The soil is noncalcareous and neutral throughout. It is dark friable loam down to the sand and gravel. Water intake is moderate. Water holding capacity is about 2 inches per foot of soil depth. Water tables commonly occur below 10 foot depths. CeD Table Mountain loam, 5 to 15 percent slopes. This is a'deep soil which contains some stones. Stones commonly • -~ occur at the surface along steep terrace edges. The~soil is _. dark noncalcareous, neutral loam throughout. Water intake rate is moderate. Water holding capacity is about 2 inches per foot of soil depth. C3F Midnight Rombo complex, 35 to 50% slopes. These soils are shallow and moderately deep, 10 to 40 inches to weathered shale. Texture is clay loam which grades to shaly clay loam with depth. It is noncalcareous and neutral to about 15 inches. Channery stones on the surface vary from few to many. Soil moisture and plant roots penetrate deep into the fractured shale. Bands of interbedded sandstone comprise about 10 percent of the area. HvA Haverson looms, 0 to 3% slopes. Occurs on stream terraces. slopes are usually less than 1% but terrace edges. and along the foothills slopes range to 3%. The soil is calcareous at or near the surface and is moderately alkaline. The entire profile consists of layers of loam and clay loam with stratas of fine sandy loam common at any depth. Water intake is moderate. Water holding capacity is about 2 inches per foot of soil depth. P3E Dargol-Fuera-Varner complex, 10 to 45 percent slopes. These soils are shallow (0 to 20 inches) on ridgetops, moderately ~ deep (20 to 40 inches) to shale just off ridge tops, and deep ' (greater than 40 inches) at the base of steep ,side slopes. Bands • ti _' of sandstone outcrop occur on both the ridge top and steep side v ` ' slopes. Surface textures range from stony loam and loam to silty clay loam. The subsoils are clayey. Water intake is moderate to slow. Water holding capacity is low in the shallow soils and moderate in the deeper soils.
