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 rroderatel,. to slowly permeable. Shrink -swell (volume change) is moderate to high with changes in moisture content.
