This map is based on information <br />contained in "Soil Survey of Hennepin County" and "Landscapes <br />of liennepin County" as well as 197S aerial photographs of the <br />area and an on-site investigation. <br />Each of the soils mapped within the proposed development area <br />is briefly described. Favorable and unfavorable development <br />characteristics arc discussed.

HOK TO USE THE SOIL MAP <br />To use the scrl map one needs to know what the symbols mean. <br />The soil symbol consists of three parts arranged as follows: <br />HbB2 Hb <br />(Soil) <br />B <br />(Slo;;e)(Erosion) <br />The first two letters denote the soil type; the last letter <br />is the slope of the land in percent, and the absence or pres <br />ence of a number indicates the degree of erosion. <br />Mmm. <br />H <br />."i <br />bs? <br />'■■4 3»Ea <br />I <br />Slope Lecend Erosion Lecend <br />0 to 2 percent <br />2 to 6 percent <br />0 to 12 percent <br />12 to 18 percent <br />18 to 35 percent <br />No Symbol • 0 to 1/3 topsoil lost. <br />2 - 1/3 to 2/3 topsoil lost. <br />3 - More than 2/3 topsoil lost. <br />SOIL TYPES PRESENT <br />The soil types found in this area were classified according <br />to the "Soil Survey Report of Hennepin County", and the stan <br />darJs of the National Cooperative Soil Survey. A brief des­ <br />cription of each soil is provided. Map symbols and colors <br />arc provided to facilitate locating the soil tvpcs on the de <br />tailed soil map provided with this'report. <br />'•xw* f ■IT* amm — <br />-4- <br />wm.... <br />.He. <br />Bit <br />• •• ••• <br />''e*.- '4 <br />mm
