I . INTRODOCTION This is a preliminary soil and site evaluation of the proposed Victor Rotering Addition in the City of Orono. A detailed soils map for the area of proposed development is provided with this report. This map is based on information contained in "Soil Survey of Hennepin County" and "Landscapes of Hennepin County" as well as 197S aerial photographs of the area. Each of the soils mapped within the proposed develolxnent area is briefly described. Favorable and unfavorable development characteristics are discussed. Explanations of the soil wap symbols and colors are pre- sented in Sections II and III. This is a preliminary soils evaluation and additional engineering! tests should be conducted before construction is bell. The potential of the soils found within the proposed development area for on -site treatment of septic tank effluent is discussed. Control of possible runoff and erosion during construction is discussed. I I . HCRV TO USE. THE SOIL. MAY To use the soil map one needs to know what the symbols mean. The soil symbol consists of three parts arranged as follows: HbB2 = lib x (Soil) (Slope) (Fro sion) The first two letters denote the soil type; the last letter is the slope of the land in percent, and the ahsence or presence of a number indicates the degree of erosion. Slope Legend A - 0 to 2 percent 8 - 2 to 6 percent C - 6 to 12 percent D - 12 to 18 percent E - 18 to 35 percent III. SOIL T NTES PRFSENI' 1:rosion legend No Symbol - 0 to 1/3 topsoil lost. 2 - 1/3 to 2/3 topsoil lost. 3 - More than 1/3 topsoil lost. The soil types found in this area were classified according to the "Soil Survey Report of Hennepin County", and the standards of the !National Co- operative Soil Survey.
