    with a combined thickness of 40 to 80 inches and are somewhat poorly
    drained.

    drained.

    with a combined thickness of 40 to 80 inches and are moderately well
    drained.

    and subsurface layers with a combined thickness of less than 20
    inches, and are somewhat poorly drained.

\<@27\>Range in Characteristics

\<@32\>The thickness of the solum ranges from 60 to more than 80 inches.
