• • Banks and Gesso, LLC <br />Sankard Sandy Loam is a deep, somewhat excessively drained soil found on flood <br />plains. It is formed in recent stratified alluvium along streams and rivers. Included in the <br />mapping areas of this soil are numerous sand and gravel bars. The surface layer is <br />typically about 4 inches thick. Bankard Sandy Loam has a moderately rapid permeability <br />and its water capacity is low. Surface runoff is slow and erosion hazard is {ow. The soil <br />type is suited to limited cropping, with pasture as its best use. It is fairly sandy in nature <br />and subject to flooding, making urban or recreational development ill-suited for this soil. <br />Heldt Silty Clay is a deep, moderately well drained soil found on plains. It is formed in <br />alluvial sediment derived from shale. The surface layer is typically about 7 inches thick. <br />This soil types permeability is slow, with a high water capacity. Its surface runoff is <br />medium, and the erosion hazard is moderate. The slow permeability and high shrink- <br />swell potential create problems in dwelling and road construction, making the potential <br />for urban and/or recreational development poor. Irrigating this soil can support crops <br />such as corn, sugar beets, beans, alfalfa, and small grain. <br />Nunn Clay Loam is a deep, well drained soil found on terraces and smooth plains. It is <br />formed in mixed alluvium and eolian deposits. The surface layer is typically about 9 <br />inches. Included within the mapping areas for this soil type are small, long and narrow <br />pockets of sand and gravel deposits. Permeability among this soil is moderately slow <br />and water capacity is high. Surface runoff is slow and the erosion hazard is low. Its use <br />is almost entirely reserved for irrigated crops. Due to moderate to high shrink swell, low <br />strength, and slow permeability, the soil has a poor potential for urban andlor <br />recreational development <br />Valent Sand is a deep, excessively drained soil found on plains. It is formed in eolian <br />deposits. Small areas within the mapping area have lime within a depth of 40 inches. <br />The surface layer is typically about 8 inches thick. Permeability within the soil is rapid <br />and water capacity is moderate. Surface runoff is slow and erosion hazard is low. <br />Valent sand is limited in its suitability to crops. Cropping in this soil type would be limited <br />to close grown crops such as alfalfa, wheat, and barley. The potential for urban and/or <br />recreational development is fair, with lawns, shrubs, and trees growing well once <br />established. <br />Nix Property Sand and Gravel Mine.CDMG.112 Permit 20075.WD <br />Owens Brothers Concrete Company May 2001 <br />21 <br />
