Hiis is <br />a deep, prorly drained soil. The soil formed in calcareous loan^ till. There <br />are stones and boulders in this soil mainly near the surface. The natiye veg­ <br />etation was mixed hardwood forest and a grass understory. Ihis is a nearly <br />level soil occupying areas on flats and in shallow drainageways. The level <br />slope requires little grading. There is a seasonal watertable at a 1 to 3 foo <br />depth for extended periods. Soil strength is adequate for residential develop <br />ment. The soil is sticky and difficult to work >hen wet. There is a high <br />potential for frost action. Shrink-swell (volume change) is moderate with <br />changes in moisture content. The soil is moderately to slowly permeable. <br />Erin loam; <br />This is a deep, well-draimed, moderately fine textured soil that formed in <br />calcareous shaly till. The shaly till is underlain by friable, calcareous, <br />loamy till at a depth of 3 to 20 fqet. The soil occurs on smooth, irregularly <br />shaped hills. There are stones and boulders in and on this soil. The native <br />vegetation was mixed hardwood forest. There are several slope phases of this <br />soil mapped in Hennepin County. Each slope phase mapped within the area of <br />the proposed development will be discussed separately.
