».i^:c J <br />I’rol iminai*y Soil and of the <br />Victoria Grain Co. Sulxlivision in Orono <br />n <br />Medium <br />Blue <br />Mediiin <br />Blue <br />Medium <br />Red <br />Medium <br />Red <br />A brief description oi each soil is jirovidcd. Mip symbols and colors are <br />provided to facilitate locating the soil tyj'.es on the detailed soil map <br />provided with this report. <br />1. Glencoe silty clav loajn: <br />The map symbol for this soil is Gc and the map color is mediim blue. <br />This soil is deep and very poorly drained, 'fhe soil was formed in <br />loamy colluvium over calcareous loamy till. The soil is nearly level <br />occupying depressions and sluggish drainageways. <br />Site development characteristics are generally unfavorable. The <br />watertable is above or near the surface the entire year and the soil <br />has low soil strength. <br />2. Hamel loam: <br />The map syiabol for this soil is Ha ;md the map color is medium blue. <br />This is a deep, well-drained loam soil that occurs in short, narrow <br />drainageways on foot slopes and in long winding drainageways between <br />knolls and hills. During wet periods of the year there is a perclied <br />watertable within 1 foot of the surface. These soils are often wet <br />for a good portion of the year. They are also subject to ponding <br />and the upper horizons are high in organic matter content giving them <br />low bearing values. There is also a iiigh potential for frost action <br />to roads or parking lots constructed on these soils. <br />3. Kilkenny loam: <br />This is a deep well-drained soil that formed in calcareous shaly loam <br />or clay loam till. These soils occur on convex slopes of smooth <br />irregular hills at the highest elevations in the county. The native <br />vegetation was mixed hardwoods and a grass understor)^ Several slope <br />phases of this soil are mapped in the area of proposed development. <br />Each slope phase is discussed separately. <br />a). Kilkenny loam - 2 to 6 percent slope: <br />Tlie map symbol for this soil is KkB and the map color is medium <br />red. This is a gently undulating soil that occupies areas on <br />knolls and hillsides. The rolling slopes provide building sites <br />with scenic views. The soil is never saturated but sidehill <br />scops :ind wet spots near the l)ase of the slope can occur and be <br />expected to persist for a few weeks following a wet period. The <br />soil has very slow infiltration rates. <br />b). Kilkenny loam - 6 to 12 nercent slope: <br />Ilie map s>*mbol for this soil is KkC and tlie map color is medium <br />red. This is a rolling soil oceui)ying areas on knolls and hill <br />sides. The rolling slopes offer attractiv’’c building sites. <br />Soil strengtii is adecjuate. The soil never becomes saturated. <br />i <br />• «
