NONTECHNI~ SOILS DESCRIPTION REPORT. <br />Gravel Pit <br />Map Soil name and description <br />Symbol <br />PsB Platner-Ascalon sandy loams, 0 to 3 percent slopes <br />This unit is comprised of 45 percent Platner and 40 <br />percent Ascalon soils. The soils in this unit are so <br />intermingled it is difficult to define their location <br />on the land. These soils are very deep, well drained <br />occurring on nearly level to gently sloping uplands. <br />They developed from mixed wind reworked sediments. <br />Inclusions of this unit are Stoneham loam, Wiley loam <br />and Bresser sandy loam. These soils make up 15 percent <br />of the unit. The Platner soil has a surface layer of <br />sandy loam. The subsoil is heavy clay loam and the <br />substratum is a sandy loam. Permeability is slow. The <br />hazard to runoff is slight to medium. Available water <br />capacity is high. The potential hazard to wind erosion <br />is moderate. The Ascalon soil has a surface layer of <br />sandy loam. The subsoil is a sandy clay loam and the <br />substratum is a sandy loam. Permeability is moderately <br />slow. The hazard to runoff is medium and the available <br />water capacity is moderate. The potential hazard to <br />wind erosion is moderate. <br />TkC Truckton sandy loam, 3 to 5 percent slopes <br />The Truckton soil is very deep, well to excessively <br />well drained occurring on gently rolling uplands. They <br />developed from wind reworked sandy sediments. The <br />surface layer is sandy loam. The subsoil is sandy clay <br />loam. The substratum is loamy sand extending to 60 <br />inches or more. Permeability is moderate.
