<br />i nearing '
<br />ris section is useful to those tvho need information
<br />t soils used as structural material or as foundation
<br />t which structw•es are built. Among those n•ho can
<br />fit from this section are planning commissions,
<br />and city managers, land developers, engineers.
<br />r:tctors, and farmers.
<br />mong properties of soils highly imlxrrtant in
<br />nearing are permeability. strength, compaction
<br />~tcteristics, drainage condition, shrink-swell poten-
<br />grain size, plasticity, and reaction. Also impm•tunt
<br />depth to the water table, depth to bedrock, and
<br />.These properties, in various degrees and combing-
<br />, affect construction and maintenance of roads,
<br />mLs, pipelines, foundations fm• small buildings.
<br />ation systems, ponds and small dams, and systems
<br />islwsal of selvage and refuse.

<br />Information in this section of the soil survey can Le
<br />helpful to those w•Iro-
<br />1. Select potential residential, industrial, commer-
<br />cial, and recreational areas.
<br />2. Evaluate alternate routes for roads, highways,
<br />pipelines, and underground cables.
<br />3. Seek sources of gravel, sand, or clay.
<br />4. Plan farm drainage s>•stems, irrigation sys-
<br />tems, ponds, terraces, and other structures for
<br />controlling mater and conserving soil.
<br />Vii. Correlate performance of str•uctm'es already
<br />built frith In•o parties of the kinds of soil ml
<br />which they :u~e built, for the purpose of pre-
<br />dicting performance of structures on the same
<br />or similar kinds of soil in other locations.
<br />(i. Predict the trafficability of soils for cross-
<br />country movement of vehicles and construction
<br />equipment.
<br />7. Develop preliminary estimates pertinent to
<br />construction in a particular area.
<br />Dios[ of the information in this section is presented
<br />in tables 6, 7, :tnd 23, which show, t•eslrectively, esti-
<br />mates oC soil properties significant in engineering;
<br />engineering interpretations; and engineerjng test data.
