? p.h Prol iminan’ Soil aiki S^ . of the Victoria Grain Co. Suhdivision in Orono O Dark Red Medium Green Medium Green Dark Green Infiltration rates in this soil are i;encrally slow. Hrosion is a hazard when the soil is left exposed dnrinii construction. c). Kilkenny iocun - 12 to 18 percent slope: The map symbol for this soil is KkD and the map color is dark red. This is a hilly soil occupying areas on hillsides and knolls. The soil is well-drained and soil strength is adequate. Sidehill seeps may occur during wet periods. The infiltration rates for this soil are quite slow. 4. Lester loam: This is a deep, well-drained, lo«uny soil that formed in calcareous till. These soils occur on convex areas of irregular hills and knolls. There are usually sfones and boulders near the surface. The original vegetation was mixed hardwoods. Several slope phases of this soil are mapped in the area of proposed development. Each slope phase is discussed separately. a). Lester loam - 2 to 6 percent slope: The map symbol for this soil is LrB and the map color is medium green. This is a gently undulating soil that occupies areas on knolls and hilltops. This soil generally never becomes sat urated. Soil strength is adequate. Tlie rolling slopes offer attractive building sites. Hrosion is a hazard when the soil is left exjKDsed during construction. The infiltration rates for this soil are moderate to slow. b). Lester loam - 6 to 12 percent slope: The map symbol for this soil is I.rC and the map color is medium green. This is a rolling soil that occupies areas on hillsides and knolls. Tlie soil generally never becomes saturated. Soil strength is adequate for constmetion. Lrosion is a hazard when the soil is left ex|)oscd during constnjction. Soil infil tration rates are moderate to slow. c). Lester loam - 12 to 18 percent slope: The map symbol for this soil is l.rf) and the map color is daik green. This is a hilly soil tliat occupies areas on hillsides and knolls. The soil generally never becomes saturated. Soil strength is adecjuate. Site planning for constniction is more complex if natural terrain features arc to be protected. Lrosion is a hazard if the soil is left exiK>sed during construction. Soil infiltration rates are moderate to slow. 1 » \ \ ‘f i V j.
