Custom Soil Resource Report <br />The paragraphs that follow indicate the soil properties considered in rating the soils. <br />More detailed information about the criteria used in the ratings is available in the <br />"National Forestry Manual," which is available in local offices of the Natural Resources <br />Conservation Service or on the Internet. <br />Ratings in the column suitability for mechanical site preparation (surface) are based <br />on slope, depth to a restrictive layer, plasticity index, rock fragments on or below the <br />surface, depth to a water table, and ponding. The soils are described as well suited, <br />poorly suited, or unsuited to this management activity. The part of the soil from the <br />surface to a depth of about 1 foot is considered in the ratings. <br />Ratings in the column suitability for mechanical site preparation (deep) are based on <br />slope, depth to a restrictive layer, rock fragments on or below the surface, depth to a <br />water table, and ponding. The soils are described as well suited, poorly suited, or <br />unsuited to this management activity. The part of the soil from the surface to a depth <br />of about 3 feet is considered in the ratings. <br />Reference: <br />United States Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service, <br />(National forestry manual. <br />Report-Forestland Site Preparation <br />[The information in this table indicates the dominant soil condition but does not <br />eliminate the need for onsite investigation.
