There are stones and boulders near the surface. Tlie original yeg- <br />etation was mixed haidwoods. Several slope phases are mapped in Hennepin^ <br />County. Each slope phase mapped in the area of proposed development is dis <br />cussed separately. <br />Lester loam - 2 to 6 percent slope: <br />Tlie map s>inbol for this soil is LrB and the map color is medium green. ITiis <br />is a gently undulating soil occupying areas on loiolls and hilltops. The <br />soil is well-drained and therefore never saturated. However, sidehill seep­ <br />age is not an uncommon occurrence around basement walls during wet seasons. <br />Soil strength is adequate for residential develo])ment. Tlie rolling slopes <br />over attractive building sites. Shrink-swell (voliune change) is low to mod­ <br />erate with changes in moisture content. Tne soil is moderately penneable. <br />Erosion is a hazard if this soil is left exposed for extended periods. <br />Lester loam - 6 to 12 percent slope: <br />The map s)Tnbol for this soil is LrC and the map color is medium green. This <br />is a rolling soil occupying areas on hillsides and knolls. The soil is well <br />drained and therefore never saturated. However, sidehill seepage is not an <br />uncommon occurrence around basement w'alls during wet seasons. The rolling <br />slopes and views offer attractive building sites. Shrink-swell (volume <br />change) is low to moderate with changes in moisture content. The soil is <br />moderately permeable. Erosion is a hazard if this soil is left exposed for <br />extended periods. <br />Nessel loam: <br />t?ii rt moderately well-drained, loamy soil that formed in calcareous <br />till. There are stones and boulders, mainly near the surface. The native <br />vegetation was mixed hardwoods. The soil is mapped in onlv one ‘^lone r)]r« in Hennepin County.
