« <br />L/ <br />o <br />I. INTRODUCTION <br />This is a preliminaiy soil and site evaluation of the proposed Victoria <br />Grain Company Subdivision in the City of Orono. <br />A detailed soils map for tlie area of the proposed subdivision is pro­ <br />vided with this re{x>rt. This map is based on an on-site investigation <br />and infomation contained in "Soil Survey of Hennepin County" and "Land­ <br />scapes of Hennepin County". <br />liach of the soils mapped within the area of proposed subdivision is <br />briefly described. The favorable and unfavorable development character­ <br />istics are discussed. Exjilanations for the soil map s>inbols and colors <br />are presented in Sections II and III. <br />Tliis is a preliminary soils evaluation and additional engineering tests <br />should be conducted before actual construction beg'ns. <br />The potential of each soil mapped for the disposal and treatment of septic <br />tank effluent is discussed. <br />Critical erosion areas are delineated and suggestions are made for methods <br />of controlling erosion and sedimentation during construction. <br />Tlie delineation of wetlajid areas witJiin tJie area of proposed subdivi .ion <br />is discussed. <br />II. HOtV TO USE THE SOIL MAP <br />To use the soil map one needs to know what the symbols mean. The soil <br />symbol consists of three parts arranged as follows: <br />HbB2 = Hb <br />(Soil)(Slope)(Erosion) <br />The first two letters denote the soil type; the last letter is the slope <br />of the land in percent, and the absence or presence of a number indicates <br />the degree of erosion. <br />Slope Legend <br />A <br />B <br />C <br />D <br />E <br />0 to 2 percent <br />2 to 6 percent <br />6 to 12 percent <br />12 to 18 percent <br />18 to 55 percent <br />Erosion Legend <br />No Symbol - 0 to 1/3 topsoil lost. <br />2 - i/3 to 2/3 topsoil lost. <br />5 - More than 2/3 topsoil lost. <br />III. SOIL TYPES PRESENT <br />The soil tyj'>es found in this area were classified according to the "Soil <br />Survey Report of Hennepin County", and tlie st;indards of the National Co­ <br />operative Soil Suney. Soil t>q)cs present are: <br />Glencoe silty clay loajn <br />Hamel loam <br />Kilkenny loajii <br />I.ester loam <br />Marsli
