Page -3- Iled imt Ha)dr n loan; - 6 to 12 percent slope: Green The maF1p .r,bol for this soil is HbC and the map color is medium green. This is z rolling; soil occupying irregularly chr�ped areas on hillsides and knolls. This soil is well -drained and therefore never saturated although sidehill seepage is not uncommon around basement walls during; rainy +sons or spring thaws. The rolling slopes offer attractive building sites. Soil strength is adequate. Shrink -swell (volume,change) is low to moderate with cEdnges in moisture content.. The soil is mod- erately permeable. Erosion is a r;i:ard if the soil is loft exposed for extended periods. Dark Hayden lows - 12 to 18 percent slope: Green — —" The map s)w.bol for this soil is 1{hD and tae map color is dark green. This is a hilly soil occupying irregularly shaped areas on hill sides and knolls. This is a r►e:ll-drainer soil which never ueco;:es saturated, hmie:•er seeps may appear on sidehills during spring thaws or rainy seasons. There is a large erosion hazard if this soil is left ex -'posed. Site planning on soils such as this is more complex if the natural features of the terrain are to be maintained. Soil strength is adequate. Shrink -swell (volume change) is low to moderate with changes in moisture content. The sc..l is moderately permeable. Brown Hayden loam - 18 to 24 percent slime: The map symbol for this soil is ME and the reap color is brawn. This is a steep soil occupying areas on hillsides. The soil never becomes sat- urated except where there tray be seeps diirin.- Het seasons. The steepness of this soil is a severe constraint to most urban development if the natural landforms are to be maintained. There is a severe erosion 1-.azard if this soil is left exposed.
