2 <br />The Ascalon soil is a deep, well-drained soil. It is <br />formed in wind reworked alluvium from mixed sources. The <br />surface layer is a fine sandy loam. The subsoil is a sandy clay <br />loam. The substratum to a depth of 60 inches or more is fine <br />sandy loam. The Ascalon soils have moderately slow permeability. <br />The available water holding capacity is high. Effective rooting <br />depth is 60 inches or more. Runoff is slow and the erosion <br />hazard due to wind is severe. The soil is land capability class <br />and subclass IIIe. The Ecosite description is Sandy Plains. <br />The Platner soil is a deep, well-drained soil. It is <br />formed in alluvium from reworked loess and sandstone material. <br />The surface layer is a loam. The upper portion of the subsoil is <br />a silty clay overlying a silty clay loam. The substratum is a <br />loam to sandy loam. The Platner soils have slow permeability. <br />The available water holding capacity is high. Effective rooting <br />depth is 60 inches or more. Runoff is slow and the erosion <br />hazard due to wind is moderate. Land capability class of this <br />soil is IIIc and Ecosite Description is Loamy Plains. <br />The Rago soil is a deep, well-drained soil. It is formed <br />in loess. The surface layer is a silt loam. The upper portion of <br />the subsoil is a silty clay. The lower part of the subsoil is a <br />silty clay loam. The substratum to a depth of 60 inches is a silt <br />loam. The Rago soils have slow permeability. The available <br />water holding capacity is high. Effective rooting depth is 60 <br />inches or more. Runoff is slow to ponded and the erosion hazard <br />due to wind is moderate. The land capability class is IIe and <br />the Ecosite description is Loamy Plains. <br />The Wages-Ascalon soils are on rolling portions of the <br />plains. This unit consists of 50 percent Wages and 40 percent <br />Ascalon soil. The components are intricately mixed not allowing <br />practical separation in the field. The Wages soil is a deep, <br />well-drained soil. It formed in reworked eolian sediments from <br />mixed sources. The surface is a loam. The subsoil is a sandy clay <br />loam. The substratum to a depth of 60 inches or more is a sandy <br />loam. This Soil has a moderate permeability. The available water <br />holding capacity is high. Roots penetrate to a depth of 60 inches <br />or more. Runoff is medium and the erosion hazard due to wind is <br />severe. The Ascalon soil is a deep, well-drained soil. It formed <br />in reworked eolian sediments from mixed materials. The surface is <br />a loam. The subsoil is a sandy clay loam. The substratum to a <br />depth of 60 inches or more is a sandy loam. This soil has a <br />moderate permeability. The available water holding capacity is <br />high. Roots penetrate to a depth of 60 inches or more. Runoff is <br />medium and the erosion hazard due to wind is severe. The land <br />capability class is IIIe and is a Loamy Plains Ecosite. For <br />added reference, the proposed site is in Major Land Resource Area <br />(MLRA) 67. <br />To~ranhsr <br />The landscape has an appearance of nearly level to gently <br />sloping. The slopes are 0-15~ and may slope in any direction. <br />(See attached topography map) <br />N'Rcs -2 <br />
