� 1 <br /> a mollic epipedon that.is ]ess than 24 inches thick. The Buntingville soils have carbonates at <br /> � depths of less Chan 20 inches. The Clackamas and Nosoni soils Iack free carbonates in the series � <br /> ' control section. <br /> The Forestcity soils have 45 to 65 percent sand and 10=to ,1$ percent ciay,in the under:lying <br /> material. The Jamestown soils formed in a firm and very firm till associated wifh the Iowan <br /> Erosional surface. <br /> GEOGRAPHIC SETTING: Hamel soils have concave slopes in swales,rirns of closed <br /> depressions, foot and toe slopes,and upper drainagewaSrs below sloping to very steep slopes. � <br /> Slope gradients are l to 4.percent. Hamel soils formed in slope colluvium and glacial till of Late <br /> Wisconsinan Age. Mean annual air temperature is about 45 to 48 degrees F. Mean annual <br /> precipitation is about 25 to'30 inches.Frost free days range from 125 to 165. Elevation above sea <br /> leveI ranges from 700 to 1600 feet: � <br /> � GEOGRAPHICALLY ASSOCIATEH)SOIL,S: These are principally the Alvden and Lester <br /> soils.These soils are well drained and aze on the higher lying, gently sloping to very steep <br /> slopes. <br /> DRAINAGE AND PERIV�EABILIT�.': Poorly drained and somewhat poorly drained. Surface <br /> runoff is low or moderately low. Permeability is moaerately sIow.The apparent seasonal high <br /> water table is at .5 to 1.5.feet for the poorly drained phase and 1.5 to 2.S feet for the somewhat <br /> . .poorly.drained phase during spring in normal years. . <br /> USE AND VEGETATTON: Most of ti�is soil is cropped to corn,hay, soybeans, and small <br /> grains.However,significant areas are in pasture and forest. Natiue ��egetation is mixed wet <br /> prairie grasses and deciduous forest. <br /> . ;i . <br /> ; <br /> DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: Primarily in the southeast one-quarter of Minnesota in the <br /> timbered, hilly, "gray" till region. Moderately extensive. . � <br /> ' MLRA OFF.ICE RESPfINSI�LE: St. Paul, Minnesota <br /> �S�I2IES ESTABLISHED: Hennepin County,Minnesota, 1969. <br /> REMARKS: Diagnostic horizons and features recoa ized in fhis pedon are: mollic epipedon- <br /> the zone from the suri'ace to a depth of 40 inches.(Ap, A, AB and Btgl); argillic horizon -fhe <br /> zane from 24 to 46 inches:(Btgl,Btg2,).Type location moved from H'ennepin County,Mn. to <br /> VJright County,Mn., 11/96 to better exemplify the series concept. <br /> A somewhat poorly drained overwash pha5e is recognized that has 8 to 20 inches of colluvium <br /> o�er the original dark colored surface. <br /> ADDITIONAL DATA: Refer [o MAES Centcal File Code No, 785 for results of some <br /> laboratory analysis of this series. - <br />
