NONTECHNICAL SOILS DESCRIPTION ~Ri <br />Environment, Inc. <br />Map ; Soil name and description <br />Symbol <br />The Dacono soil is a deep, well drained soil. It is <br />formed on terraces from mixed alluvial material. the <br />surface is a clay loam, as is the subsoil. The <br />underlying material is a very gravelly sand. the soils <br />have moderately slow permeability. their available <br />water holding capacity is moderate. Roots penetrate to <br />2D to AO inches. Runoff is slaw and the erosion hazard <br />is moderate. <br />61 ; tassel fine sandy loam. 5 to 20 percent slopes <br />The tassel soil is a shallow, well drained soil. It is <br />formed on upland breaks in residuum from sandstone. <br />the surface is a fine sandy loam. the underlying <br />material is a very fine sandy loam. the sails have <br />moderately rapid permeability, their available water <br />holding capacity is low. Foots penetrate to the depth <br />of the sandstone, ahich ranges from 10 to 20 inches. <br />Runoff is medium and [he erosion hazard due to wind is <br />severe. <br />58 ; Ustic iorriorthents, moderately steep <br />The L's tic Torriorthents soil is a deep, excessively <br />drained sail. it is formed on terrace breaks and <br />escarpments in gravelly alluvium. The surface is a <br />gravelly sand, as is the underlying material. the <br />soils have rapid permeability. Their available water <br />holding capacity is low. Aoats penetrate to 60 inches <br />or more. Runoff is medium and the erosion hazard due <br />to wind is moderate. <br />19 ; Weld loam, 1 to 3 percent slopes <br />The Weld soil is a deep, well drained soil. It is <br />farmed an smooth plains from eolian material. the <br />surface is a loam. The subsoil is a heavy clay loam and <br />light clay. The underlying material is a silt loam. <br />The soils have slow permeability. their available <br />water holding capacity is high. Roots penetrate to ti0 <br />inches or more. Runoff is slaw and the erosion harard <br />due [o wind is low. <br />• <br />
