Page Light Blue 11 Light Blue O Medium Blue ?1 brief description rf each soil is provided. Ntap symbols and colors are provided to facilitat^ locating=, the soil tv'pes on the detaileJ soil map provided with this report. Cordova silty clay loam: The map symbol for this soil is Co and the map color is light blue. This is a deop, poorly drained soil that formed ;n loam glacial till. There are stones and boulders, mainly near the surface. The native vegetation was mixed hardwood forest. The soil is nearly level occupying areas on flats and in shallow drainageways. There is a seasonal watertable at a 1 to 3 foot depth during wet periods of the year. Soil strength is adequate for residential development. The soil is sticky and difficult to work when wet. There is a high potential for frost action. The soil is moderately to slowly permeable. Shrink -swell (volume chaiLge) is moderate to high with changes in moisture content. Dundas silt loam: The map symbol for this soil is Du and the map color is light blue. This is a deep, poorly drained soil. The soil formed in calcareous loamy till. There are stones and boulders in this soil mainly near the surface. The native veg- etation was mixed hardwood forest and a grass understory. This is a nearly level soil occupying; areas on flats and in shallow drainagteways. The 1 el slope requires little grading. There is a seasonal watertable at a 1 to 3 foot depth for extended periods. Soil strength is adequate for residential develop- ment. The soil is sticky and difficult to work when wet. There is a high potential for frost action. Shrink -swell (volume change) is moderate with changes in moisture content. The soil is i nderately to slowly permeable. Glencoe silty clay loam: The map symbol for this soil is Cc and the map color is medium blue. This is a deep, very poorly drained sail. The soil was formed in loamy colluvium over calcareous loamy till. The soil is nearly level occupying depressions and drainag;eways. The native vegetation wac dominantly sedges and wetsite grasses. Durinc wet periods of the year the watertable is within 1 foot of the surface and ponding; may occur. T}ie high organic matter content in the upper soil hori:ens means the soil has low bearint! values. I a high potential for frost action.
