The ratings are both verbal and numerical. <br />Rating class terms indicate the degree to which the soils are suited to site preparation. <br />Well suited indicates that the soil has features that are favorable for the specified kind <br />of site preparation and has no limitations. Good performance can be expected, and <br />little or no maintenance is needed. Poorlysuited indicates that the soil has one or more <br />properties that are unfavorable for the specified kind of site preparation. Overcoming <br />the unfavorable properties requires special design, extra maintenance, and costly <br />alteration. Unsuited indicates that the expected performance of the soil is <br />unacceptable for the specified kind of site preparation or that extreme measures are <br />needed to overcome the undesirable soil properties. <br />Numerical ratings in the table indicate the severity of individual limitations. The ratings <br />are shown as decimal fractions ranging from 0.01 to 1.00. They indicate gradations <br />between the point at which a soil feature has the greatest negative impact on the <br />specified kind of site preparation (1.00) and the point at which the soil feature is not a <br />limitation (0.00). <br />26
