Glencoe silty clay loam: <br />The map symbol for this soil is Gc and the map color is medium blue. <br />This soil is deep and very poorly drained. The soil w^ formed in <br />loamy colluvium over calcareous loany till. The soil is nearly <br />level occupying depressions and sluggish drainageways. <br />Site develoianent characteristics are generally unfavorable. The <br />watertaDie is above or near the surtace the entire year unless ade­ <br />quate drainage is provided. The soil has low soil strength. <br />2. Hamel loam: <br />The map symbol for this soil is and the map color is medium blue. <br />This is a deep, well-drained loam soil that ^curs m 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 perched <br />watertable within 1 foot of the surface. These soils are oftCT wet <br />for a good portion of the yeaj^ They are also subject to pmding <br />and the upper norizons are nigh in organic matter content giving ^cm <br />low bearing values. There is also a high potential for frost action <br />to_roads^orpa]rtdng_^lo?s|^^S?^^f^|^|Twse^o2^'^^^^^^^^^^^ <br />3. Le Sueur loam - 1 to 4 percent slope: <br />The map symbol for this soil is LtB and the map color is light green. <br />This is a deep, moderately well-drained, loamy soil that formed in <br />calcareous till. The soil is nearly level to gently sloping occupying <br />uses on low knolls. The native vegetation was mixed hardwoods and a <br />grass understory. The watertable may get within 3 feet of the sur­ <br />face during wet periods of the year. Soil strength is adeqi^te and <br />since the soil is nearly level there is usually little grading re­ <br />quired. <br />4. Minnetonka silty clay loam: <br />The map symbol for this soil is Mt and the map color is light green. <br />This is a deep poorly drained soil that formed in 30 to 60 inches of
