• i <br />INTRODUCTION <br />Purpose <br />The purpose of the study was to define depth of salvageable soil <br />material for the north and south crossing of Union Meadows. The <br />study: <br />o Briefly describes site conditions and the major <br />soil types <br />o Describes agronomic chemistry and physical <br />properties for the major soil <br />o Recommends soil salvage depth <br />Methods <br />A site description for the major soil (the Nihill) was made at the <br />north crossing. The site description includes: <br />o Vegetation o <br />o Stoniness o <br />o Rockiness o <br />o Erosion hazard o <br />o Parent material o <br />o Slope and relief o <br />o Physiography <br />Aspect <br />Permeability <br />Drainage <br />Depth to ground water <br />Moisture <br />Salts or alkali <br />A profile description was also made of the Nihill at the north <br />crossing. The soil was sampled and described from a hand dug pit <br />to 52 inches. A soil profile description was made on SCS form 232 <br />made according to the standards of the National Cooperative Soil <br />Survey. The following were described for each major horizon of <br />the Nihill: <br />o Horizon designation o Pores <br />o Depth o Coarse fragments <br />o Color, wet and dry o Mottles <br />o Texture o Clay films <br />o Structure o Reaction <br />o Consistence o Boundary <br />o Roots <br />4 <br />
