r~ <br />~~ <br />e. SA.NPLING AND PROFILE DESCRIPTION <br />A representative profile from each soil series or sari=s variant was sampled <br />and described in detail. 'The representative profile was selected on the basis <br />of median characteristics for parent material, landscape position, physical <br />characteristics and vegetation. Each pr ofila was sampled and described by horizon <br />to a depth of more than 50 inches or bedrock. Soils warn described and sampled <br />deeper than four feet if suitable topsoil was suspected fro.n observations of <br />rooting depth and soil texture. Surface and subsoil horizons were sampled at <br />intervals of one foot or less. Substrata were sampled at intervals of 18 inches <br />or less. <br />• A one-quart sa;nple from each soil horizon, subdivided horizon or contrasting <br />layer was collected and air-dried. This sample was then divided with one portion <br />submitt_d for laboratory analysis and the other portion retained for additional <br />tests if necessary. These samples warn analyzed for the essential parameters <br />listed in dDEQ-LQD Guideline No. 1. The results era presented in Illustration <br />C. <br />Each horizon or contrasting layer was described in detail using standard SCS <br />232 for,ns. The following soil properties were evaluated in the field. <br />C~ <br />II.I-9 <br />
