NONTECHNICAL SOILS DESCRIPTION REPORT. <br />Gravel Pit <br />Map Soil name and description <br />Symbol <br />This mapping unit consists of Wiley and Colby soils <br />which are very deep and well drained. The Wiley soils <br />make up 55 percent of the unit and Colby makes up 30 <br />percent. The remaining 15 percent is made up of <br />Stoneham loam and Baca loam. These soils developed <br />from loess. The Wiley soils occur on concave gently <br />sloping uplands. The surface layer is loam. The <br />subsoil is silty clay loam. The substratum is silt <br />loam. Permeability is moderately slow. The hazard due <br />to runoff is slight. The potential hazard to wind <br />erosion is moderate. The Colby soils occur on the more <br />sloping ridges and convex areas. The surface layer is <br />loam. The underlying material is loam or silt loam <br />extending to 60 inches or more. Permeability is <br />moderate. The hazard due to runoff is medium. <br />Available water capacity is high. The potential hazard <br />to wind erosion is moderate. <br />Yt Yoder-Truckton-Lismas complex <br />This mapping unit is comprised of Yoder, Truckton and <br />Lismas soils. Yoder soils makes up 35 percent of the <br />unit, Truckton 35 percent and Lismas soils 15 percent. <br />The remaining 15 percent is inclusions of Blakeland and <br />Bresser soils. These soils developed in mixed sandy <br />sediments and interbedded sandstone. Yoder soils are <br />very deep and well drained. The surface layer is loamy <br />fine sand. The subsoil is sandy loam which overlies <br />loamy sand or fine sand extending to 60 inches. <br />Permeability is moderately rapid.
