The map smbol for this soil is HcC2 and the map color is medium ^een. This is a rolling soil occupying irregularly shaped areas on knolls and hillsides. Because this soil is eroded the surface layer is clay lo^i. The rolling slopes offer attractive building sites. The soil is well- drained and therefore never saturated.

Shrink-swell (volume change) is moderate with changes in moisture content. The soil mod erately permeable. Erosion is a hazard when the land is graded and left exposed for extended periods. 1 Havden rlav loam - 12 to 18 percent slope, eroded: The map symbol for this soil is HcD2 and the map color is dark green. This is a hilly soil occupying areas on hillsides and knolls. Because this soil is eroded the surface layer is clay loam. Tliere is a wide range of shapes, elevations, aspects, and views. The soil is well- drained, and therefore never saturated. Sidehill seepage is not uncommon however, around basement walls during rainy seasons or spring thaws, boil strength is adequate for residential development. Shrink-swell (volume change) is moderate with changes in moisture content. Tlie soil is mod erately permeable. Erosion is a hazard when the land is left exposed for extended periods. 0 Page -( Medium Green Medium Green Light Red X
