General Soil Map

The general soil map, which is a color map, shows the survey area divided into groups of associated soils called

general soil map units. This map is useful in planning the use and management of large areas.

To find information about your area of interest, locate that area on the map, identify the name of the map unit in

the area on the color-coded map legend, then refer to the section General Soil Map Units for a general

description of the soils in your area.

Detailed Soil Maps

The detailed soil maps can be useful in planning the use and

management of small areas.

To find information about your area

of interest, locate that area on the

Index to Map Sheets. Note the

number of the map sheet and turn

to that sheet.

Locate your area of interest on

the map sheet. Note the map unit

symbols that are in that area. Turn

to the Contents, which lists the

map units by symbol and name

and shows the page where each

map unit is described.

The Contents shows which table

has data on a specific land use for

each detailed soil map unit. Also

see the Contents for sections of

this publication that may address

your specific needs.

How To Use This Soil Survey

This soil survey is a publication of the National Cooperative Soil Survey, a joint

effort of the United States Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies,

State agencies including the Agricultural Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The

Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly the Soil Conservation Service) has

leadership for the Federal part of the National Cooperative Soil Survey.

Major fieldwork for this soil survey was completed in 1995. Soil names and

descriptions were approved in 1997. Unless otherwise indicated, statements in this

publication refer to conditions in the survey area in 1995. This survey was made

cooperatively by the Natural Resources Conservation Service; the Ohio Department of

Natural Resources, Division of Soil and Water Conservation; the Ohio Agricultural

Research and Development Center; the Ohio State University Extension; the Hancock

Soil and Water Conservation District; and the Hancock County Commissioners. The

survey is part of the technical assistance furnished to the Hancock Soil and Water

Conservation District.

Soil maps in this survey may be copied without permission. Enlargement of these

maps, however, could cause misunderstanding of the detail of mapping. If enlarged,

maps do not show the small areas of contrasting soils that could have been shown at

a larger scale.

This soil survey contains information that affects land use planning in this survey

area. It contains predictions of soil behavior for selected land uses. The survey also

highlights soil limitations, improvements needed to overcome the limitations, and the

impact of selected land uses on the environment.

This soil survey is designed for many different users. Farmers, foresters, and

agronomists can use it to evaluate the potential of the soil and the management

needed for maximum food and fiber production. Planners, community officials,

engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers can use the survey to plan land

use, select sites for construction, and identify special practices needed to ensure

proper performance. Conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in

recreation, wildlife management, waste disposal, and pollution control can use the

survey to help them understand, protect, and enhance the environment.

Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may impose

special restrictions on land use or land treatment. The information in this report is

intended to identify soil properties that are used in making various land use or land

treatment decisions. Statements made in this report are intended to help the land

users identify and reduce the effects of soil limitations on various land uses. The

landowner or user is responsible for identifying and complying with existing laws and

regulations.

Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances. Some soils are

seasonally wet or subject to flooding. Some are shallow to bedrock. Some are too

unstable to be used as a foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils are

poorly suited to use as septic tank absorption fields. A high water table makes a soil

poorly suited to basements or underground installations.

These and many other soil properties that affect land use are described in this soil

survey. Broad areas of soils are shown on the general soil map. The location of each

soil is shown on the detailed soil maps. Each soil in the survey area is described.

Information on specific uses is given for each soil. Help in using this publication and

additional information are available at the local office of the Natural Resources

Conservation Service or the Cooperative Extension Service.

Foreword

1

HANCOCK COUNTY is in the northwestern part of

Ohio (fig. 1). It is bordered by Wood County to the

north, Seneca and Wyandot Counties to the east,

Hardin County to the south, and Allen and Putnam

Counties to the west. Hancock County has an area

of 341,561 acres, or about 534 square miles. Findlay,

the county seat, is located near the center of the

county. In 1990, the population of the county was

65,536 and the population of Findlay was 35,703

(U.S. Department of Commerce 1990).

Most of the county is used for agriculture. The

main enterprises are cash-grain farming and some

livestock production and dairy operations. Urban or

built-up land makes up about 11 percent of the

county (Hancock Soil and Water Conservation District

1995). Areas adjacent to Findlay and Interstate 75

are being urbanized more rapidly than other areas

of the county. Manufacturing is the largest source of

employment in the county. The service and retail

trade industries are also important sources of

employment.

The survey area mostly is nearly level or gently

sloping. The areas of more sloping topography are on

end moraines or are related to dissection along

streams and river valleys. Wetness is the main

limitation affecting most of the soils in the county. The

hazard of erosion is also a concern in gently sloping

or sloping areas.

The county has some locally unique physiographic

features. A large outlier of bedrock (known locally as

Limestone Ridge) is in the east-central part of the

county. The northern part of the county was the

lakebed for Glacial Lake Maumee, and the Findlay

Basin, in the west-central part of the county, was an

embayment to the Lake. Relict beach ridges are

obvious along State Routes 613 and 12. These ridges

mark the margins of Glacial Lake Maumee and the

Findlay Basin.

This soil survey updates the survey of Hancock

County published in 1973 (Rapparlie and Urban

1973). It provides additional information and has

larger maps, which show the soils in greater detail.

General Nature of the County

This section provides some general information

about the survey area. It describes climate; history;

physiography, relief, and drainage; mineral resources;

glacial geology; bedrock geology; farming; and

transportation facilities.

Climate

Hancock County is cold in winter and hot in

summer. Winter precipitation, frequently in the form

of snow, results in a good accumulation of soil

moisture by spring and minimizes drought during the

summer. Normal annual precipitation patterns are

adequate for all of the crops that are adapted to the

temperature and the growing season in the survey

area.

Table 1 gives data on temperature and

precipitation for the survey area as recorded at

Findlay in the period 1961-90. Table 2 shows

probable dates of the first freeze in fall and the last

freeze in spring. Table 3 provides data on length

of the growing season.

In winter, the average temperature is 26.0 degrees

F and the average daily minimum temperature is

18.7 degrees. The lowest temperature on record,

which occurred at Findlay on January 19, 1994, is

-20 degrees. In summer, the average temperature is

70.9 degrees and the average daily maximum

temperature is 81.4 degrees. The highest recorded

temperature, which occurred on June 25, 1988, is

104 degrees.

Growing degree days are shown in table 1. They

are equivalent to “heat units.” During the month,

growing degree days accumulate by the amount that

the average temperature each day exceeds a base

temperature (50 degrees F). The normal monthly

accumulation is used to schedule single or

successive plantings of a crop between the last

freeze in spring and the first freeze in fall.

The average annual precipitation is 36.29 inches.

Of this, 20.7 inches, or 57 percent, usually falls in

May through October. The growing season for most

crops falls within this period. The heaviest 1-day

rainfall on record was 6.25 inches on September 1,

1959. Thunderstorms occur on about 37 days each

year, and most occur during the period May through

August.

The average seasonal snowfall is about 29 inches.

The heaviest 1-day snowfall on record was

15.2 inches on January 31, 1982. The greatest snow

depth at any one time during the period of record was

23 inches. On the average, 45 days of the year have

at least 1 inch of snow on the ground. The number of

such days varies greatly from year to year.

The average relative humidity in midafternoon is

about 58 percent. Humidity is higher at night, and the

average at dawn is about 84 percent. The sun shines

67 percent of the time possible in summer and

41 percent in winter. The prevailing wind is from the

southwest. Average windspeed is highest, 11 miles

per hour, in January through April.

History

Prior to settlement by European immigrants, the

latest inhabitants of the survey area were Native

Americans from the Wyandot and Ottawa Tribes.

These people grew corn and other crops in small

clearings to supplement their diet.

From the French and Indian War in 1756 until the

War of 1812, the area had been the scene of

hostilities among the Native Americans, the American

colonists, and the countries of France and England.

The defeat of the Native Americans and others in the

War of 1812 and the acquisition of their lands opened

the way for settlement of the county.

During the early years of settlement, settlers came

from other areas in Ohio, from Virginia, and from the

Northeastern States. Most were of German, English,

Irish, or Scottish descent (Beardsley 1881). These

settlers began clearing the vast forest area so they

could raise livestock and cultivate crops. Initially, the

settlers cultivated the better drained, rolling soils

along streams and the higher areas on end moraines.

Cattle, hogs, and sheep were pastured in the

remaining areas of woodland and on the wetter soils.

Corn, wheat, and hay were raised for local

consumption. It was not until the later 1800s, with

the advent of tiling and ditching, that large areas of

fertile lowlands and marshes were opened to

cultivation.

Agriculture has played a dominant role in the

settlement and development of Hancock County. The

oil boom in the late 1800s was responsible for

providing an influx of inhabitants to the county. Even

with the present-day economic dependence on

industry and manufacturing, Hancock County still

relies heavily on the economic base provided by

agricultural enterprises.
Hancock County, Ohio 3

Physiography, Relief, and Drainage

Hancock County is part of the Central Lowland

Province. Most of the physiographic features in the

county are a result of Wisconsinan Glaciation. As an

area of lake plain and till plain physiography, Hancock

County has a relatively uniform, level topography. The

highest point in the county is about 955 feet above

sea level, along the Hardin County line, in Orange

Township. The lowest point in the county is about

715 feet above sea level, where Rader Creek enters

Wood County, in Pleasant Township. In most areas of

the county, slope is 6 percent or less. The steeper

areas are associated with end moraines or stream

dissection or are on bedrock ridges.

Hancock County drains northward into Lake Erie.

There are five distinct watershed areas in the county.

The primary watersheds include the Blanchard River,

which drains to the north and west, and the Portage

River, which drains to the north. The other watersheds

are drained by small creeks.

Mineral Resources

The mineral resources of Hancock County include

bedrock, sand, and gravel. Most of these resources

have been of minor extent, mainly because of the

relatively thin deposits of high-quality materials for

wide commercial use. Natural gas and oil were

extracted heavily from the underlying bedrock during

the latter part of the 19th century (Ohio Department of

Natural Resources 1992).

Dolostone and limestone are the major bedrock

components of Hancock County. These rocks

compose the Salina, Greenfield, Lockport, and

Tymochtee Groups, which formed during the Silurian

age (Ohio Department of Natural Resources 1999).

Limestone has been mined from these formations in

several areas of the county; however, only the quarry

in the city of Findlay is currently active. Since

limestone is at or near the surface in Hancock County,

many small, inactive limestone quarries are scattered

throughout the county. Most of the limestone is used

for agricultural or industrial purposes or in the

transportation industry.

Small sand and gravel pits are scattered

throughout the county, mostly along beach ridges,

rivers, and streams. No sites in the county are

currently being quarried. The sand and gravel

deposits are of limited size, ranging from 1 to

10 acres. The largest gravel pit, along a beach ridge

in the north-central part of the county, was about

25 acres in size at the time it was abandoned.

Glacial Geology

Richard R. Pavey, Ohio Department of Natural Resources,

Division of Geological Survey, helped to prepare this section.

Significantly later in geological time (about 2 million

years ago), glaciers began to move across the area in

a southwestward direction. Many glacial advances,

with ice as much as 1 mile thick, and the subsequent

melting and recessions filled valleys and low bedrock

areas with till and glaciolacustrine sand, silt, and clay.

The Late Wisconsinan glaciers, approximately

15,000 to 24,000 years ago, were the last glaciers to

cover Hancock County (Forsyth 1961). The glacial ice

gouged out a preglacial river valley to form the Lake

Erie Basin. See the “Geographic Landform Map” for

the location of geologic features described in this

section. As sheets of ice advanced uphill out of the

basin, high bedrock areas obstructed glacial

deposition, leaving the bedrock hills thinly covered

with drift or completely exposed. Examples of soils

that formed in a thin mantle of glacial material over

bedrock include Channahon, Millsdale, and Milton

soils. Biglick soils formed in residuum on rock

outcrops.

Away from the bedrock hills, thicker layers of glacial

material were deposited. As the ice sheet melted and

receded, the unsorted material carried by the glacier

was deposited in a fairly uniform layer known as till.

The thickness and composition of till vary widely

within the county. Soil formation in the till is generally

only a few feet thick. In areas where these till layers

were very thin or eroded away, soils formed in the

older, harder till. The clay content of the till is highest

on the Defiance Moraine and in the Glacial Lake

Maumee Basin, and it is lowest near bedrock areas

where the ice sheets eroded and transported some of

the coarser local material. Blount, Mortimer, and

Pewamo soils formed in till.

As the glacial ice was receding for the last time, the

Erie Basin was filled by a series of different lakes that

formed in front of the ice sheet. For a few thousand

years, lake levels varied in these lakes as drainage

outlets were blocked or opened by the fluctuating ice

front of the last glacier. Lacustrine sediments settled

out of the water in these glacial lakes. Some soils in

the county formed in these glaciolacustrine deposits.

They include Del Rey, Fulton, and Toledo soils.

There are two distinct segments of Glacial Lake

Maumee in Hancock County. The main body of the

lake lies north of State Route 613. Fluctuating lake

levels and wave action smoothed out shallow bottom

areas, wave planed the till, and provided coarse

sediments to form beaches. Beach ridges in the
4 Soil Survey

county are products of these earlier lake levels. Fox,

Oshtemo, and Shawtown soils formed in these

materials. In the northern part of the county are

peculiarly shaped segments of old beach ridges.

These remnants provide evidence of the reworking of

beach sediments during subsequent higher lake

levels, caused by slight readvances of the ice sheet

far to the north. In shallow water areas, wave action

washed the finer sized particles out of the glacial

material, leaving patches of coarser sediments on top

of the till. Haskins and Mermill soils formed in this

water modified till material. Hoytville and Nappanee

soils formed in areas where the till was wave planed

by shallow lake water. The Findlay Embayment is in

the west-central part of the county and lies between

U.S. Route 224 and State Route 12. In the Findlay

Embayment, a continual source of sediment to the

embayment was the outwash plain that extends to the

east.

 Hancock County had a very dynamic geologic

history during the Pleistocene. The exact sequence of

events is not well understood, but numerous

indicators help piece together the geologic events.

There are glaciofluvial sediments buried under 7 to

14 feet of till in the Findlay Embayment.

Two end moraines cross Hancock County in a

general east-west direction (Ohio Department of

Natural Resources 1998). The northernmost moraine

is the Defiance Moraine. This moraine was heavily

influenced by Glacial Lake Maumee and its

predecessor, especially in the western part of the

county, where glaciolacustrine sediments overlie the

till. Maumee’s predecessor was responsible for the

deposition of lacustrine sediments on the crest of the

moraine. Numerous small potholes or depressions in

the moraine reflect the ice stagnation and wasting by

the glacier (fig. 2).

During the initial level of Lake Maumee, the water

reached an approximate level of 800 feet above sea

level (Forsyth 1959). The water reached close to the

summit of the moraine and, in some cases, breached

the moraine and joined the Findlay Embayment to the

south. Today, this moraine also separates the surface

water between the Portage River and Blanchard River

watersheds.

The Fort Wayne Moraine is in the southern part of

the county. It is not so well defined as the Defiance

Moraine and does not appear to have had such a

dynamic history as the Defiance Moraine. Glacial

meltwater channels, which were predecessors of

modern day stream drainage patterns, fed the Findlay

Embayment. Modern day streams follow some of

these channels, but the unauthorized use of water

from streams has modified the drainage pattern of the

channels in some areas.

Bedrock Geology

Richard R. Pavey, Ohio Department of Natural Resources,

Division of Geological Survey, helped to prepare this section.

Hancock County is in the eastern part of the

Central Lowland Province. Proceeding from west to

east in Hancock County, the underlying bedrock dips

and becomes progressively younger. The bedrock

within the county is of sedimentary origin, primarily

Silurian limestone and dolostone (Ohio Department of

Natural Resources 1947).

The Salina Undifferentiated Group underlies the

western part of the county, especially in Blanchard,

Orange, Pleasant, and Union Townships. The

Tymochtee Group underlies an area ranging from the

central part to the southeastern part of the county,

especially in Delaware, Jackson, Madison, and Eagle

Townships. The Tymochtee Group lies east of the

Bowling Green fault, which parallels Interstate 75

before turning southeast near Findlay. East of the

fault, the bedrock is dominated by the Greenfield and

Lockport Groups. These groups underlie Biglick,

Cass, Marion, and Amanda Townships (Ohio

Department of Natural Resources 1999).

The Bowling Green fault is a major structural

feature in the northwestern part of Ohio. The area

east of the fault was the primary location of numerous

gas and oil wells during the late 1800s (Ohio

Department of Natural Resources 1992).

During the Silurian, Devonian, and Mississippian

times (420 to 350 million years ago), Hancock County

was covered by a large, tropical inland sea. In the

deeper areas, sediments consisting of deposits of

carbonate precipitates, shells, and corals formed

limestone and dolostone. Silt and clay sediments

formed shale, while quartz and other silicate minerals

were deposited and formed sandstone in shallow

water areas. As sedimentation and cementation

continued, the pressures generated by the

tremendous weight of the overlying sediments formed

the bedrock of the county.

This depositional stage was followed by a

prolonged period of geologic erosion that left a

landscape characterized by bedrock hills and stream

valleys. Surface water drained northward into a large,

eastward-flowing valley that was in the present-day

Lake Erie Basin. Erosion left the oldest bedrock units

exposed in the northwestern part of the county and

the youngest exposed in the southeastern part.
Hancock County, Ohio 5

Farming

Agriculture is the primary land use in Hancock

County. In 1982, farms made up about 292,314 acres,

or nearly 86 percent of the land in Hancock County.

There were 1,299 farms in the county, with an

average size of 225 acres (U.S. Department of

Commerce 1993). About 263,290 acres was used as

cropland (U.S. Department of Commerce 1993) and

about 5,100 acres as pasture. Only about

16,900 acres of the county was urban or built-up land

(USDA, SCS 1992). Ten years later, in 1992, farms

made up only 275,644 acres, or nearly 81 percent of

the land in the county. The number of farms had

decreased to 1,032, with an average size of

267 acres. About 259,189 acres was used as

cropland, 6,700 acres was used as pasture, and

27,400 acres was urban or built-up land (U.S.

Department of Commerce 1993). These facts reflect

the nationwide trends toward larger farms with fewer

operators and the conversion of farmland to urban or

nonfarm uses.

Corn, soybeans, and wheat are the principal crops

in the county, but the soils and climate also are suited

to grain sorghum, sunflower, oats, barley, rye, and

buckwheat. Specialty crops, such as tomatoes, sugar

beets, and cucumbers, could be grown more

extensively in the survey area.

Transportation Facilities

Hancock County is accessible by land and air.

Interstate 75, which crosses the county from north to

south, provides rapid access to Toledo and Cincinnati.

Additional access is provided by 3 Federal highways

and 10 State highways. These highways and a

system of well-paved county and township roads

provide easy access to all areas of the county.

6 Soil Survey

Four major railroad lines traverse the county. Two

airports, Bluffton and Findlay Municipal, are located in

the county.

How This Survey Was Made

This survey was made to provide information about

the soils and miscellaneous areas in the survey area.

The information includes a description of the soils and

miscellaneous areas and their location and a

discussion of their suitability, limitations, and

management for specified uses. Soil scientists

observed the steepness, length, and shape of the

slopes; the general pattern of drainage; the kinds of

crops and native plants; and the kinds of bedrock.

They dug many holes to study the soil profile, which is

the sequence of natural layers, or horizons, in a soil.

The profile extends from the surface down into the

unconsolidated material in which the soil formed. The

unconsolidated material is devoid of roots and other

living organisms and has not been changed by other

biological activity.

The soils and miscellaneous areas in the county

are in an orderly pattern that is related to the geology,

landforms, relief, climate, and natural vegetation of

the area. Each kind of soil and miscellaneous area is

associated with a particular kind of landform or with a

segment of the landform. By observing the soils and

miscellaneous areas in the survey area and relating

their position to specific segments of the landform, a

soil scientist develops a concept or model of how they

were formed. Thus, during mapping, this model

enables the soil scientist to predict with a

considerable degree of accuracy the kind of soil or

miscellaneous area at a specific location on the

landscape.

Commonly, individual soils on the landscape merge

into one another as their characteristics gradually

change. To construct an accurate soil map, however,

soil scientists must determine the boundaries

between the soils. They can observe only a limited

number of soil profiles. Nevertheless, these

observations, supplemented by an understanding of

the soil-vegetation-landscape relationship, are

sufficient to verify predictions of the kinds of soil in an

area and to determine the boundaries.

Soil scientists recorded the characteristics of the

soil profiles that they studied. They noted soil color,

texture, size and shape of soil aggregates, kind and

amount of rock fragments, distribution of plant roots,

reaction, and other features that enable them to

identify soils. After describing the soils in the survey

area and determining their properties, the soil

scientists assigned the soils to taxonomic classes

(units). Taxonomic classes are concepts. Each

taxonomic class has a set of soil characteristics with

precisely defined limits. The classes are used as a

basis for comparison to classify soils systematically.

Soil taxonomy, the system of taxonomic classification

used in the United States, is based mainly on the kind

and character of soil properties and the arrangement

of horizons within the profile. After the soil scientists

classified and named the soils in the survey area,

they compared the individual soils with similar soils in

the same taxonomic class in other areas so that they

could confirm data and assemble additional data

based on experience and research.

While a soil survey is in progress, samples of some

of the soils in the area generally are collected for

laboratory analyses and for engineering tests. Soil

scientists interpret the data from these analyses and

tests as well as the field-observed characteristics and

the soil properties to determine the expected behavior

of the soils under different uses. Interpretations for all

of the soils are field tested through observation of the

soils in different uses and under different levels of

management. Some interpretations are modified to fit

local conditions, and some new interpretations are

developed to meet local needs. Data are assembled

from other sources, such as research information,

production records, and field experience of

specialists. For example, data on crop yields under

defined levels of management are assembled from

farm records and from field or plot experiments on the

same kinds of soil.

Predictions about soil behavior are based not only

on soil properties but also on such variables as

climate and biological activity. Soil conditions are

predictable over long periods of time, but they are not

predictable from year to year. For example, soil

scientists can predict with a fairly high degree of

accuracy that a given soil will have a high water table

within certain depths in most years, but they cannot

predict that a high water table will always be at a

specific level in the soil on a specific date.

After soil scientists located and identified the

significant natural bodies of soil in the survey area,

they drew the boundaries of these bodies on aerial

photographs and identified each as a specific map

unit. Aerial photographs show trees, buildings, fields,

roads, and rivers, all of which help in locating

boundaries accurately.

Some boundaries and names of the soils in this

survey area do not fully agree with those of the soils

in adjacent survey areas. Differences are the result of

changes and refinements in series concepts, updated

soil taxonomy, slightly different map unit composition

in the survey areas, and use of the State Soil
Hancock County, Ohio 7

Geographic data (STATSGO) map as the base for the

general soil map in this publication.

Soil Survey Procedures

Hancock County was one of the first counties in

northwestern Ohio to have a soil survey

modernization. The general procedures followed in

making this survey are described in the “National Soil

Survey Handbook” (USDA, NRCS 1996). The “Soil

Survey of Hancock County, Ohio” published in 1973

(Rapparlie and Urban 1973) and U.S. Geological

Survey (USGS) topographic quadrangles were

among the references used.

Prior to the soil survey modernization, a soil survey

review team conducted an evaluation of the 1973

Hancock County soil survey at the request of the

Hancock County Commissioners and Hancock Soil

and Water Conservation District. A report of the

evaluation was prepared and sent to the Ohio Soil

Inventory Board for review. After reviewing the

evaluation report, the Soil Inventory Board

recommended a soil survey modernization program

and outlined the work to be completed for the soil

survey modernization.

Before the actual fieldwork was begun, a detailed

study of all existing laboratory data, soil survey

reports, and research studies was conducted by the

Hancock County soil survey staff. The soil scientists

used USGS topographic maps, at a scale of 1:24,000,

to relate land and image features.

Hancock County includes a large number of soil

series. The 1973 soil survey is a valuable historical

document that was relied on extensively during the

modernization process. Patterns of soils on the

landscape are typically complex. Modern soil survey

procedures differ from those used in the earlier

survey. Some soil series names used in the earlier

report no longer apply to the soils that were mapped

and correlated during this update. Soil scientists

making the 1973 survey did not recognize all of the

soil series that current soil scientists using modern

taxonomy and classification recognized during this

survey. In addition, soil observations and evaluations

during the 1973 survey were made to a depth of

60 inches or less, and during this modernization

project, observations and evaluations were routinely

made to a depth of 80 inches or to bedrock.

Recent aerial photographs, photographs from

earlier flights, a geology map of Ohio (Ohio

Department of Natural Resources 1947), and the

USGS quadrangles were used in making the survey.

The maps and soil descriptions in the previous soil

survey of Hancock County were used as references in

the correlation of soil series and map units (Rapparlie

and Urban 1973). The old survey was also used

to determine the areas of highest variability when

the mapping and transect intervals were

planned.

A reconnaissance was made by vehicle before the

soil scientists traversed the surface on foot and

examined the soils. As they traversed the surface, the

soil scientists divided the landscape into segments

based on the use and management of the soils. For

example, a rise would be separated from a

depression or a gently sloping knoll or a backslope

would be separated from a flat. Soil map units were

traversed at varying intervals depending on the

complexity of the soil types and patterns in the area.

Sample map units from the 1973 survey were

transected. Borings were made at selected intervals

on the transect to determine the composition of soil

types within the map units. Soil scientists compared

existing map units with the soil types in the area to

see if earlier unrecognized soils with significant

interpretive differences should be identified and

separated during the survey modernization. Map unit

boundaries were determined on the basis of soil

examinations, observations, and photo interpretation

(fig. 3). When necessary, map units were redelineated

so that new series could be included and soil types

recognized earlier could be better differentiated.

Some map units were enlarged to include units

previously mapped as another soil type when the

differences in soil properties were not significant

enough to require an additional map unit delineation.

A data location map denoting where traverses and

observations were made is on file at the Northwestern

Ohio Soil Survey Project Office in Findlay.

After completion of the fieldwork, map unit

delineations were transferred by hand to another set

of planimetrically correct photographs. Surface

features were recorded from observation of the maps

and the landscape.

Representative pedon sites from the 1973 survey

were located, and the soils at these sites were

examined in order to determine if they would meet

present-day interpretation needs. The classification of

these pedons also was compared with modern soil

taxonomy standards. If the pedon was found to differ

significantly in characteristics, a new pedon site was

located that had soil properties that were

representative of observations made during this soil

survey.

Most soils were examined using hand augers and

soil tubes. Field notes were taken during the

evaluation process. Deeper samples were taken to

document soil material to a depth of 80 inches or to

bedrock if it was within a depth of 80 inches. These
8

samples were obtained by taking soil cores using a

probe truck or using a hand auger with extensions.

Pedons described as typical were studied and

documented in dug pits. Samples for laboratory

analysis were taken at these pits and at other

locations in the county to obtain chemical and

physical analyses and to determine engineering

properties. This information was used in the

classification, correlation, and interpretation of

specific soil types.

The general soil map in this publication shows the

soil associations in this survey area. Each association

has a unique natural landscape. Typically, an

association consists of one or more major soils or

miscellaneous areas and some minor soils or

miscellaneous areas. It is named for the major soils or

miscellaneous areas. The components of one unit can

occur in another but in a different pattern.

The general soil map can be used to compare the

suitability of large areas for general land uses. Areas

of suitable soils can be identified on the map.

Likewise, areas where the soils are not suitable can

be identified.

Because of its small scale, the map is not suitable

for planning the management of a farm or field or for

selecting a site for a road or building or other

structure. The soils in any one association differ from

place to place in slope, depth, drainage, and other

characteristics that affect management.

The map units delineated on the detailed soil maps

in this survey represent the soils or miscellaneous

areas in the survey area. The map unit descriptions in

this section, along with the maps, can be used to

determine the suitability and potential of a unit for

specific uses. They also can be used to plan the

management needed for those uses.

A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an

area dominated by one or more major kinds of soil or

miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and

named according to the taxonomic classification of

the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic class there are

precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils.

On the landscape, however, the soils are natural

phenomena, and they have the characteristic

variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range

of some observed properties may extend beyond the

limits defined for a taxonomic class. Areas of soils of a

single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mapped

without including areas of other taxonomic classes.

Consequently, every map unit is made up of the soils

or miscellaneous areas for which it is named and

some minor components that belong to taxonomic

classes other than those of the major soils.

Most minor soils have properties similar to those of

the dominant soil or soils in the map unit, and thus

they do not affect use and management. These are

called noncontrasting, or similar, components. They

may or may not be mentioned in a particular map unit

description. Other minor components, however, have

properties and behavioral characteristics divergent

enough to affect use or to require different

management. These are called contrasting, or

dissimilar, components. They generally are in small

areas and could not be mapped separately because

of the scale used. Some small areas of strongly

contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas are identified

by a special symbol on the maps. The contrasting

components are mentioned in the map unit

descriptions. A few areas of minor components may

not have been observed, and consequently they are

not mentioned in the descriptions, especially where

the pattern was so complex that it was impractical to

make enough observations to identify all the soils and

miscellaneous areas on the landscape.

The presence of minor components in a map unit

in no way diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of

the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate

pure taxonomic classes but rather to separate the

landscape into landforms or landform segments that

have similar use and management requirements. The

delineation of such segments on the map provides

sufficient information for the development of resource

plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned,

however, onsite investigation is needed to define and

locate the soils and miscellaneous areas.

The detailed map unit descriptions include

management statements for most major uses of the

soils—cropland, pastureland, and woodland and as

sites for buildings, septic tank absorption fields, and

local roads and streets. The management statements

listed for a particular map unit address the most

limiting features of that soil for a certain use.

An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name

in the map unit descriptions. Each description

includes general facts about the unit and gives the

principal hazards and limitations to be considered in

planning for specific uses.

Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make

up a soil series. Except for differences in texture of the

surface layer, all the soils of a series have major

horizons that are similar in composition, thickness,

and arrangement.

Soils of one series can differ in texture of the

surface layer, slope, stoniness, salinity, degree of

erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use.

On the basis of such differences, a soil series is

divided into soil phases. Most of the areas shown on

the detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. The

name of a soil phase commonly indicates a feature

that affects use or management. For example, Blount

silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the

Blount series.

Some map units are made up of two or more major

soils or miscellaneous areas. These map units are

complexes. A complex consists of two or more soils or

miscellaneous areas in such an intricate pattern or in

such small areas that they cannot be shown

separately on the maps. The pattern and proportion of

the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat

Detailed Soil Map Units
18 Soil Survey

similar in all areas. Blount-Jenera complex, 0 to 3

percent slopes, is an example.

This survey includes miscellaneous areas. Such

areas have little or no soil material and support little

or no vegetation. The map unit Pits, quarry, is an

example.

Table 4 gives the acreage and proportionate extent

of each map unit. Other tables give properties of the

soils and the limitations, capabilities, and potentials

for many uses. The Glossary defines many of the

terms used in describing the soils or miscellaneous

areas.

Figure 6 shows the relationship between different

geomorphic slope positions and slope terminology. It

was adapted from “Geomorphology: Geomorphic

Processes and Surficial Geology” (Ruhe 1975). In

areas of low relief in Hancock County, these terms

generally are not used. Refer to the Glossary for more

detailed definitions of these landform components.

Use and Management Considerations

Cropland

• Maintaining vegetative cover and establishing

windbreaks reduce the hazard of wind erosion.

• The root system of winter grain crops may be

damaged by frost action.

• Careful selection and application of chemicals and

fertilizers help to minimize the possibility of groundwater contamination.

• A combination of surface and subsurface drainage

systems helps to remove excess water.

• Subsidence or shrinkage of the muck causes

displacement of subsurface drains.

• Control of the water table helps reduce subsidence,

prevent burning, and reduce the hazard of wind

erosion.

• The effectiveness of subsurface drains may be

reduced because the drains can become filled with

sand.

• Plant nutrients are leached at an accelerated rate

because of the sandy layer.

Pastureland

• Excess water should be removed, or grass or

legume species that are adapted to wet soil

conditions should be planted.

• The root system of plants may be damaged by frost

action.

Woodland

• Soil wetness may limit the operation of logging

trucks.

• Ponding is a hazard affecting the safe use of

logging trucks on roads.

• The seasonal high water table and the ponding can

inhibit the growth of seedlings of some species by

reducing root respiration.

• The low strength of the soil may cause the

formation of ruts, which can result in unsafe

conditions and damage to equipment.

• The low strength of the soil increases the cost of

constructing haul roads and log landings.

• Because of low soil strength, harvesting equipment

may be difficult to operate and damage may result.

The low strength of the soil may create unsafe

conditions for the operation of logging trucks.

Building sites

• Because of the ponding and the high potential for

subsidence, this soil is generally unsuited to building

site development.

• Because water tends to pond on this soil, the period

when excavations can be made may be restricted and

a higher degree of construction site development and

building maintenance may be needed.

• When drained, the organic layers in this soil

subside. Subsidence leads to differential rates of

settlement, which may cause foundations to break.

Septic tank absorption fields

• Because of the ponding, this soil is generally

unsuited to septic tank absorption fields.

Local roads and streets

• Ponding affects the ease of excavation and grading

and limits the bearing capacity of this soil.

• Subsidence of the organic material reduces the

bearing capacity of the soil.

• Local roads and streets may be damaged by frost

action, which is caused by the freezing and thawing of

soil moisture.

Use and Management

Cropland

• In areas of these soils, the rooting depth of

crops is restricted by bedrock and a high content

of clay.

• Incorporating crop residue or other organic matter

into the surface layer increases the capacity of these

soils to hold and retain moisture. Plants may suffer

from moisture stress because of the limited available

water capacity.

• Careful selection and application of chemicals and

fertilizers help to minimize the possibility of groundwater contamination.

Pastureland

• These soils provide poor summer pasture.

• Plants may suffer moisture stress during the drier

summer months because of the limited available

water capacity of the soils.

• Applying a system of conservation tillage when

pastures are renovated conserves soil moisture.

• The rooting depth of plants may be restricted by

bedrock.

Woodland

• The low strength of these soils may cause the

formation of ruts, which can result in unsafe

conditions and damage to equipment.

• The low strength of the soils increases the cost of

constructing haul roads and log landings.

• Because of low soil strength, harvesting equipment

may be difficult to operate and damage may result.

The low strength of the soils may create unsafe

conditions for the operation of logging trucks.

• In places the depth to bedrock is a limitation

affecting the construction of haul roads and log

landings.

• The stickiness of the soils reduces the efficiency of

mechanical planting equipment.

• Because of the stickiness of the Biglick soil,

equipment used for site preparation should be

operated only during dry periods.

Building sites

• Moderate shrinking and swelling of these soils may

crack foundations and basement walls.

• Foundations and other structures may require some

special design and construction techniques or

maintenance.

• The depth to bedrock and hardness of the bedrock

greatly reduce the ease of excavation and increase

the difficulty in constructing foundations and installing

utilities in areas of these soils.

• In some areas of the soils, the high content of clay

in the subsoil increases the difficulty of digging, filling,

and compacting the soil material in shallow

excavations.

Septic tank absorption fields

• Because of the limited depth to bedrock, these soils

are generally unsuited to septic tank absorption fields.

Local roads and streets

• Because of shrinking and swelling, these soils may

not be suitable for use as base material for local

roads and streets.

• Local roads and streets may be damaged by frost

action, which is caused by the freezing and thawing of

soil moisture.

• The low bearing strength of the soils is generally

unfavorable for supporting heavy loads. Special

design of local roads and streets is needed to prevent

the structural damage caused by low soil strength.

• Because of the limited depth to hard bedrock,

excavation is difficult in areas of the Biglick soil.

• The depth to bedrock and hardness of the bedrock

reduce the ease of excavation and increase the

difficulty of constructing roads in areas of the Milton

Use and Management

Cropland

• The rooting depth of crops is restricted by bedrock

in areas of the Channahon soil and by bedrock and a

high content of clay in areas of the Biglick soil.

• Applying a system of conservation tillage and

planting cover crops in areas of these soils reduce

the runoff rate and help to minimize soil loss by

erosion.

• Incorporating crop residue or other organic matter

into the surface layer increases the capacity of the

soil to hold and retain moisture. Plants may suffer

from moisture stress because of the limited available

water capacity.

• Careful selection and application of chemicals and

fertilizers help to minimize the possibility of groundwater contamination.

Pastureland

• These soils provide poor summer pasture.
Hancock County, Ohio 39

• Plants may suffer moisture stress during the drier

summer months because of the limited available

water capacity.

• The rooting depth of plants may be restricted by

bedrock.

• Maintaining healthy plants and vegetative cover can

reduce the hazard of erosion.

• Avoiding overgrazing can reduce the hazard of

erosion.

• Erosion control is needed when pastures are

renovated.

• Applying a system of conservation tillage when

pastures are renovated conserves soil moisture.

conditions for the operation of logging trucks.

• In places the depth to bedrock is a limitation

affecting the construction of haul roads and log

landings.

• The slope creates unsafe operating conditions and

reduces the operating efficiency of logging trucks.

• The slope may restrict the use of some mechanical

planting equipment.

• Rock fragments obstruct the use of mechanical

planting equipment in areas of the Channahon soil.

• The stickiness of the Biglick soil reduces the

efficiency of mechanical planting equipment. Because

of the stickiness of the soil, equipment used for site

preparation should be operated only during the drier

periods.

Building sites

• Moderate shrinking and swelling of these soils may

crack foundations and basement walls. Foundations

and other structures may require some special design

and construction techniques or maintenance.

• The depth to bedrock and hardness of the bedrock

greatly reduce the ease of excavation and increase

the difficulty in constructing foundations and installing

utilities.

• The slope influences the use of machinery and the

amount of excavation required. Special building

practices and designs may be required to ensure

satisfactory performance.

• In some areas the high content of clay in the subsoil

of the Biglick soil increases the difficulty of digging,

filling, and compacting the soil material in shallow

excavations.

• The low bearing strength of the Biglick soil is

generally unfavorable for supporting heavy loads.

Use and Management Considerations

Cropland

• Grassed waterways can be used in some areas to

slow and direct the movement of water and reduce

the hazard of erosion.

• Applying a system of conservation tillage and

planting cover crops reduce the runoff rate and help

to minimize soil loss by erosion.

Pastureland

• Erosion control is needed when pastures are

renovated.

Woodland

• The low strength of the soil may cause the

formation of ruts, which can result in unsafe

conditions and damage to equipment.

• The low strength of the soil increases the cost of

constructing haul roads and log landings.

• Because of low soil strength, harvesting

equipment may be difficult to operate and damage

may result. The low strength of the soil may create

unsafe conditions for the operation of logging

trucks.

• Rock fragments obstruct the use of mechanical

planting equipment.

Building sites

• This soil is well suited to building site development.

• Because of the high content of sand or gravel in

the soil, the resistance to sloughing is reduced in

shallow excavations and cutbanks are susceptible to

caving.

Septic tank absorption fields

• The excessive permeability limits the proper

treatment of the effluent from septic tank absorption

fields in areas of this soil. The poorly treated effluent

may pollute the water table in the area of the

absorption field.

Local roads and streets

• Local roads and streets may be damaged by frost

action, which is caused by the freezing and thawing of

soil moisture.

may be difficult to operate in areas of these soils and

damage may result. The low strength of the soils may

create unsafe conditions for the operation of logging

trucks.

• The stickiness of the Glynwood and Blount soils

reduces the efficiency of mechanical planting

equipment.

• Burning may destroy organic matter in areas of the

Glynwood soil.

• The seasonal high water table in areas of the

Blount soil can inhibit the growth of seedlings of some

species by reducing root respiration.

Building sites

• The Glynwood, Blount, and Houcktown soils are

poorly suited to building site development.

• The seasonal high water table in these soils may

restrict the period when excavations can be made

and may require a higher degree of construction site

development and building maintenance. Special

design of structures is needed to prevent the damage

caused by wetness.

• In some areas, the dense nature of the

substratum in these soils increases the difficulty of

digging and compacting the soil material in shallow

excavations.

• Moderate shrinking and swelling of the Glynwood

and Blount soils may crack foundations and basement

walls. Foundations and other structures may require

some special design and construction techniques or

maintenance.

• In some areas the high content of clay in the subsoil

of the Glynwood and Blount soils increases the

difficulty of digging, filling, and compacting the soil

material in shallow excavations.

Septic tank absorption fields

• The restricted permeability of the Glynwood, Blount,

and Houcktown soils limits the absorption and proper

treatment of the effluent from septic tank absorption

fields.

• The seasonal high water table in areas of these

soils greatly limits the absorption and proper

treatment of the effluent from septic tank absorption

fields. Costly measures may be needed to lower the

water table on sites for absorption fields.

Local roads and streets

• The seasonal high water table in areas of the

Glynwood, Blount, and Houcktown soils affects the

ease of excavation and grading and reduces the

bearing capacity of the soils.

• Local roads and streets built in areas of these soils

may be damaged by frost action, which is caused by

the freezing and thawing of soil moisture.

• Because of shrinking and swelling, the Glynwood

and Blount soils may not be suitable for use as base

material for local roads and streets.

• The low bearing strength of the Glynwood and

Blount soils is generally unfavorable for supporting

heavy loads. Special design of local roads and streets

is needed to prevent the structural damage caused by

low soil strength.

the remaining surface soil is less productive and more

difficult to manage.

• Clods may form if the soil is tilled when wet.

• Controlling traffic can minimize soil compaction.

• The rooting depth of crops may be restricted by the

high content of clay.

• Maintaining or increasing the content of organic

matter in the soil helps to prevent crusting, improve

• In some areas of the Milton soil, the high content of

clay in the subsoil increases the difficulty of digging,

filling, and compacting the soil material in shallow

excavations.

• In areas of the Milton soil, the depth to bedrock and

hardness of the bedrock greatly reduce the ease of

excavation and increase the difficulty in constructing

foundations and installing utilities.

Septic tank absorption fields

• The restricted permeability of this Morley soil limits

the absorption and proper treatment of the effluent

from septic tank absorption fields.

• The limited depth to bedrock reduces the filtering

capacity of the Morley soil and greatly increases the

difficulty of proper installation of the effluent

distribution lines.

• The seasonal high water table in areas of the

Morley soil greatly limits the absorption and proper

treatment of the effluent from septic tank absorption

fields. Costly measures may be needed to lower the

water table on sites for absorption fields.

• Because of the limited depth to bedrock, this Milton

soil is generally unsuited to septic tank absorption

fields.

Local roads and streets

• Because of shrinking and swelling, these Morley

and Milton soils may not be suitable for use as base

material for local roads and streets.

• In areas of the Morley and Milton soils, local roads

and streets may be damaged by frost action, which is

caused by the freezing and thawing of soil moisture.

• The low bearing strength of the Morley and Milton

soils is generally unfavorable for supporting heavy

loads. Special design of local roads and streets is

needed to prevent the structural damage caused by

low soil strength.

• The depth to bedrock and hardness of the bedrock

reduce the ease of excavation and increase the

difficulty of constructing roads in areas of the Milton

soil.

Building sites

• This soil is poorly suited to building site

development.

• Moderate shrinking and swelling of the soil

may crack foundations and basement walls.

Foundations and other structures may require some

special design and construction techniques or

maintenance.

• The seasonal high water table may restrict the

period when excavations can be made and may

require a higher degree of construction site

development and building maintenance. Special

design of structures is needed to prevent the damage

caused by wetness.

• In some areas the dense nature of the substratum

increases the difficulty of digging and compacting the

soil material in shallow excavations.

• In some areas the high content of clay in the subsoil

increases the difficulty of digging, filling, and

compacting the soil material in shallow excavations.

Septic tank absorption fields

• The restricted permeability of this soil limits the

absorption and proper treatment of the effluent from

septic tank absorption fields.

• The seasonal high water table in areas of this soil

greatly limits the absorption and proper treatment of

the effluent from septic tank absorption fields. Costly

measures may be needed to lower the water table on

sites for absorption fields.

Local roads and streets

• Because of shrinking and swelling, this soil may not

be suitable for use as base material for local roads

and streets.

• Local roads and streets may be damaged by frost

action, which is caused by the freezing and thawing of

soil moisture.

• The seasonal high water table affects the ease of

excavation and grading and reduces the bearing

capacity of this soil.

• The low bearing strength of this soil is generally

unfavorable for supporting heavy loads. Special

design of local roads and streets is needed to prevent

the structural damage caused by low soil strength.

Use and Management Considerations

Cropland

• The rooting depth of crops is restricted by bedrock

and a high content of clay.

• Incorporating crop residue or other organic matter

into the surface layer increases the capacity of the

soil to hold and retain moisture. Plants may suffer

from moisture stress because of the limited available

water capacity.

• The root system of winter grain crops may be

damaged by frost action.

• Careful selection and application of chemicals and

fertilizers help to minimize the possibility of groundwater contamination.

• Controlling traffic can minimize soil compaction.

• Maintaining or increasing the content of organic

matter in the soil helps to prevent crusting, improve

tilth, and increase the rate of water infiltration.

• A subsurface drainage system helps to lower the

seasonal high water table.

• Including deep-rooted cover crops in the rotation is

important for improving soil structure and providing

pathways in the clayey subsoil to facilitate the

movement of water into subsurface drains.

• The depth to bedrock may restrict the gradient

needed to provide adequate drainage from

subsurface systems.

Pastureland

• This soil provides poor summer pasture.

• Plants may suffer moisture stress during the drier

summer months because of the limited available

water capacity.

• Applying a system of conservation tillage when

pastures are renovated conserves soil moisture.

• Excess water should be removed, or grass or

legume species that are adapted to wet soil

conditions should be planted.

• Restricting grazing during wet periods can minimize

compaction.

• The root system of plants may be damaged by frost

action.

• The rooting depth of plants may be restricted by

bedrock.

Woodland

• Soil wetness may limit the operation of logging

trucks.

• The seasonal high water table can inhibit the growth

of seedlings of some species by reducing root

respiration.

period when excavations can be made and may

require a higher degree of construction site

development and building maintenance. Special

design of structures is needed to prevent the damage

caused by wetness.

• Moderate shrinking and swelling of the soil may

crack foundations and basement walls. Foundations

and other structures may require some special design

and construction techniques or maintenance.

• The depth to bedrock and hardness of the bedrock

greatly reduce the ease of excavation and increase

the difficulty in constructing foundations and installing

utilities.

• In some areas the high content of clay in the subsoil

increases the difficulty of digging, filling, and

compacting the soil material in shallow excavations.

Septic tank absorption fields

• Because of the limited depth to bedrock, this soil is

generally unsuited to septic tank absorption fields.

Use and Management Considerations

Cropland

• The root system of winter grain crops may be

damaged by frost action.

• Careful selection and application of chemicals and

fertilizers help to minimize the possibility of groundwater contamination.

• Clods may form if the soil is tilled when wet.

• Controlling traffic can minimize soil compaction.

• The rooting depth of crops may be restricted by the

high content of clay.

• Maintaining or increasing the content of organic

matter in the soil helps to prevent crusting, improve

tilth, and increase the rate of water infiltration.

• A combination of surface and subsurface drainage

systems helps to remove excess water.

• Including deep-rooted cover crops in the rotation is

important for improving soil structure and providing

pathways in the clayey subsoil to facilitate the

movement of water into subsurface drains.

Pastureland

• Excess water should be removed, or grass or

legume species that are adapted to wet soil

conditions should be planted.

• The root system of plants may be damaged by frost

action.

• Restricting grazing during wet periods can minimize

compaction.

when excavations can be made may be restricted and

a higher degree of construction site development and

building maintenance may be needed.

Septic tank absorption fields

• Because of the ponding, this soil is generally

unsuited to septic tank absorption fields.

Local roads and streets

• Ponding affects the ease of excavation and grading

and limits the bearing capacity of this soil.

• Because of shrinking and swelling, this soil may not

be suitable for use as base material for local roads

and streets.

• Local roads and streets may be damaged by frost

action, which is caused by the freezing and thawing of

Use and Management Considerations

Cropland

• This soil is well suited to cropland.

Pastureland

• This soil is well suited to pasture.

Woodland

• The low strength of the soil may cause the

formation of ruts, which can result in unsafe

conditions and damage to equipment.

• The low strength of the soil increases the cost of

constructing haul roads and log landings.

• Because of low soil strength, harvesting equipment

may be difficult to operate and damage may result.

The low strength of the soil may create unsafe

conditions for the operation of logging trucks.

Building sites

• This soil is poorly suited to building site

development.

• The seasonal high water table may restrict the

period when excavations can be made and may

require a higher degree of construction site

development and building maintenance. Special

design of structures is needed to prevent the damage

caused by wetness.

• In some areas the dense nature of the substratum

increases the difficulty of digging and compacting the

soil material in shallow excavations.

Septic tank absorption fields

• The restricted permeability of this soil limits the

absorption and proper treatment of the effluent from

septic tank absorption fields.

• The seasonal high water table in areas of this soil

greatly limits the absorption and proper treatment of

the effluent from septic tank absorption fields. Costly

measures may be needed to lower the water table on

sites for absorption fields.

Local roads and streets

• Local roads and streets may be damaged by frost

action, which is caused by the freezing and thawing of

soil moisture.

Cropland

• The root system of winter grain crops may be

damaged by frost action in areas of the Westland and

Rensselaer soils.

• Careful selection and application of chemicals and

fertilizers help to minimize the possibility of groundwater contamination.

• A combination of surface and subsurface drainage

systems helps to remove excess water.

Pastureland

• Excess water should be removed in areas of these

soils, or grass or legume species that are adapted to

wet soil conditions should be planted.

• The root system of plants may be damaged by frost

action.

Woodland

• Soil wetness may limit the operation of logging

trucks in areas of these soils.

• The seasonal high water table can inhibit the growth

of seedlings of some species by reducing root

respiration.

• The low strength of the soils may cause the

formation of ruts, which can result in unsafe

conditions and damage to equipment.

• The low strength of the soils increases the cost of

constructing haul roads and log landings.

• Because of low soil strength, harvesting

equipment may be difficult to operate and damage

unsafe conditions for the operation of logging

trucks.

• Ponding is a hazard affecting the safe use of

logging trucks on roads.

Building sites

• These soil are generally unsuited to building site

development.

• Because water tends to pond on these soils, the

period when excavations can be made may be

restricted and a higher degree of construction site

development and building maintenance may be

needed.

Septic tank absorption fields

• Because of the ponding, these soils are generally

unsuited to septic tank absorption fields.

Local roads and streets

• Ponding affects the ease of excavation and

grading and limits the bearing capacity of these

soils.

• Because of shrinking and swelling, these soils may

not be suitable for use as base material for local

roads and streets.

• Local roads and streets may be damaged by frost

action, which is caused by the freezing and thawing of

soil moisture.

• Special design of local roads and streets is needed

to prevent the structural damage caused by low soil

strength.

• The low bearing strength of the Rensselaer

This soil survey is an inventory and evaluation of

the soils in the survey area. It can be used to adjust

land uses to the limitations and potentials of natural

resources and the environment. Also, it can help to

prevent soil-related failures in land uses.

In preparing a soil survey, soil scientists,

conservationists, engineers, and others collect

extensive field data about the nature and behavioral

characteristics of the soils. They collect data on

erosion, droughtiness, flooding, and other factors that

affect various soil uses and management. Field

experience and collected data on soil properties and

performance are used as a basis in predicting soil

behavior.

Information in this section can be used to plan the

use and management of soils for crops and pasture;

as woodland; as sites for buildings, sanitary facilities,

highways and other transportation systems, and

parks and other recreational facilities; for agricultural

waste management; and as wildlife habitat. It can be

used to identify the potentials and limitations of each

soil for specific land uses and to help prevent

construction failures caused by unfavorable soil

properties.

Planners and others using soil survey information

can evaluate the effect of specific land uses on

productivity and on the environment in all or part of

the survey area. The survey can help planners to

maintain or create a land use pattern in harmony with

the natural soil.

Contractors can use this survey to locate sources

of sand and gravel, roadfill, and topsoil. They can use

it to identify areas where bedrock, wetness, or very

firm soil layers can cause difficulty in excavation.

Health officials, highway officials, engineers, and

others may also find this survey useful. The survey

can help them plan the safe disposal of wastes and

locate sites for pavements, sidewalks, campgrounds,

playgrounds, lawns, and trees and shrubs.

The soils in the survey area are assigned to

various interpretive groups at the end of each map

unit description and in some of the tables. The groups

for each map unit also are shown in the “Interpretive

Groups” section.

Interpretive Ratings

The interpretive tables in this survey rate the soils

in the survey area for various uses. Many of the tables

identify the limitations that affect specified uses and

indicate the severity of those limitations. The ratings in

these tables are both verbal and numerical.

Map units that have very similar properties may

have different interpretations for some uses because

of slight differences in depth to a restrictive layer,

differences in the thickness of layers, or differences in

other features. In some cases, there may not be

complete correlation between the hazards and

limitations noted in the tables and the management

statements addressed in the map unit descriptions.

These discrepancies are usually for minor limitations

or hazards that have numerical value of 0.10 or less

in the tables.

Rating Class Terms

Rating classes are expressed in the tables in terms

that indicate the extent to which the soils are limited

by all of the soil features that affect a specified use or

in terms that indicate the suitability of the soils for the

use. Thus, the tables may show limitation classes or

suitability classes. Terms for the limitation classes are

not limited, somewhat limited, very limited, and, also

included in table 27, slightly limited. The suitability

ratings are expressed as well suited, moderately well

suited, poorly suited, and unsuited or as good, fair,

poor, and very poor.

Numerical Ratings

Numerical ratings in the tables indicate the

relative severity of individual limitations. The ratings

are shown as decimal fractions ranging from 0.00 to

1.00. They indicate gradations between the point at

which a soil feature has the greatest negative impact

on the use and the point at which the soil feature is

not a limitation. The limitations appear in order from

the most limiting to the least limiting. Thus, if more

than one limitation is identified, the most severe

limitation is listed first and the least severe one is

listed last.

Use and Management of the Soils
160 Soil Survey

Crops and Pasture

Kelly Niehaus, district conservationist, Natural Resources

Conservation Service, helped to prepare this section.

General management needed for crops and

pasture is suggested in this section. “Crops” are

considered to be row crops and hay. The system of

land capability classification used by the Natural

Resources Conservation Service is explained, and

prime farmland is described.

Planners of management systems for individual

fields or farms should consider the detailed

information given in the description of each soil under

the heading “Detailed Soil Map Units.” Specific

information can be obtained from the local office of

the Natural Resources Conservation Service or the

Cooperative Extension Service.

At the end of each map unit description, the soil

has been assigned to a pasture suitability group.

These groups are based primarily on the suitability of

the soil for certain pasture species, management

needs, and potential productivity. Detailed

interpretations for each pasture suitability group in the

county are provided in the “Technical Guide,” which is

available in the local office of the Natural Resources

Conservation Service.

Cropland Management

Prime agricultural land is dispersed throughout the

county. With good management practices, most soils

in the county are highly productive for crops and

pasture. Major soil management concerns are based

upon similarities and differences in soil properties and

qualities associated with the different types of soil.

The major soil management concerns are seasonal

wetness, including ponding; erosion; soil structure

damage, including compaction, crusting, and clod

formation; droughtiness; and soil fertility.

Seasonal wetness and ponding are the major

management concerns on about 267,000 acres of

land in the county. The very poorly drained Adrian,

Alvada, Colwood, Gilford, Hoytville, Mermill, Millsdale,

Patton, Pewamo, Rensselaer, Sloan, Toledo, and

Westland soils are naturally so wet that crop

production is generally not possible unless a surface

or subsurface drainage system is installed. The

somewhat poorly drained Aurand, Blount, Darroch,

Del Rey, Elliott, Fulton, Haskins, Lamberjack,

Nappanee, Rimer, Shoals, Tiderishi, and Vanlue soils

are naturally so wet that crops are damaged during

most years, and planting and harvesting are delayed

in areas of these soils unless a drainage system is

installed.

Small areas of wet soils in seeps, along

drainageways, and in swales are commonly included

in map units with the moderately well drained Cygnet,

Flatrock, Glynwood, Harrod, Houcktown, Jenera,

Medway, Mortimer, Ottokee, Rawson, Shinrock,

Thackery, and Tuscola soils. Random subsurface

drainage systems are installed in these areas for

maximum crop yields.

The design of surface and subsurface drainage

systems varies with the kind of soil. A combination of

surface and subsurface drains is needed in many

areas of the very poorly drained Adrian, Alvada,

Colwood, Gilford, Hoytville, Mermill, Millsdale, Patton,

Pewamo, Rensselaer, Sloan, Toledo, and Westland

soils used for intensive crop production. Drains should

be more closely spaced in soils that have slow or very

slow permeability than in soils that have moderately

slow permeability. Blount, Fulton, Hoytville,

Nappanee, and Toledo soils are slowly permeable or

very slowly permeable.

Establishing adequate outlets for subsurface

drainage systems can be difficult in some areas of the

Adrian, Alvada, Colwood, Gilford, Hoytville, Mermill,

Millsdale, Patton, Pewamo, Rensselaer, Sloan,

Toledo, and Westland soils. Some areas of Pewamo

soils mapped on the Defiance Moraine contain

numerous closed depressions, or potholes, that are

very difficult to drain. These areas are more difficult to

drain than other areas of Pewamo soils in the county.

Existing county and private drainage systems should

be maintained as adequate outlets for present and

future land uses. These systems often become outlets

for curtain drains that divert water away from

basements and septic tank absorption fields in many

areas of Hancock County. Urban construction

activities can damage and disrupt these existing

systems. As a result, renewed wetness and ponding

of these previously drained cropland areas now

impact the homeowners’ use of this land. Cooperation

between the urban and agricultural communities is

needed in order to maintain or improve these

drainage systems.

Information about the design of drainage systems

for each kind of soil is provided in the Field Office

Technical Guide, which is available in the local office

of the Natural Resources Conservation Service and

the Hancock Soil and Water Conservation District.

Erosion by water is a major concern on about

74,000 acres of land in the county. On bare soils,

erosion is generally a hazard where the slope is more

than 2 percent. The hazard of erosion increases as

the percent of slope increases.

Erosion reduces natural soil fertility and

productivity as part of the original topsoil is removed
Hancock County, Ohio 161

and the more acid subsoil is incorporated into the

surface layer through tillage. The need for lime and

fertilizer to replace lost plant nutrients and maintain

productivity is increased. If the amount of annual soil

loss exceeds the rate at which new soil is formed,

long-term productivity and natural fertility are affected.

Loss of part of the original topsoil is of particular

concern in areas of soils that have a high content of

clay in the subsoil, such as Biglick, Blount, Glynwood,

Lucas, Milton, Morley, Mortimer, Nappanee, Shinrock,

and St. Clair soils.

Erosion increases the cost of crop production,

results in poor soil structure in the surface layer,

increases the need for tillage to incorporate organic

matter into the surface layer, and reduces the

available water capacity of the surface layer. Tillage

for preparing a good seedbed requires more energy

in eroded spots in many sloping fields. Lower plant

populations result from inadequate soil-to-seed

contact and a lower available water capacity. These

more eroded spots are common in areas of

Glynwood, Lucas, Morley, Mortimer, Nappanee,

Shinrock, and St. Clair soils.

Eroding soil particles with attached nutrients,

herbicides, and pesticides enter drainageways,

streams, rivers, ponds, lakes, and reservoirs. These

sediments can fill drainage ditches and block

subsurface drainage outlets. Sediment removal is the

most costly item in ditch maintenance. Controlling

erosion helps to protect the soil resource base,

maintain long-term productivity, reduce drainage

maintenance costs, and maintain water quality.

In the detailed soil map units, the class listed

after the heading “Potential for surface runoff”

was determined as follows:

* * * The soil surface is assumed to be bare

and surface water retention due to irregularities

in the ground surface is low * * *

Additionally, a standardized antecedent water

state condition prior to the water addition is

assumed: the soil is conceived to be very moist

or wet to the base of the soil, to 1/2 m, or through

the horizon or layer with minimum saturated

hydraulic conductivity within 1 meter, whichever

is the greatest depth. If the minimum saturated

hydraulic conductivity of the soil occurs below

1 meter, it is disregarded and the minimum “to

and including 1 m” is employed * * * (Soil Survey

Division Staff 1993).

Wind erosion is a problem on some soils in the

survey area. Sandy soils, such as those in the

Arkport, Dunbridge, Ottokee, Rimer, and Tuscola

series, and soils with a surface layer of muck, such as

those in the Adrian series, are particularly susceptible

to this type of erosion. The abrasive action of

windblown sand particles damages crops. Minimizing

tillage, avoiding fall plowing, and planting cover crops

can reduce the hazard of wind erosion. Sod strips and

windbreaks can reduce the effects of wind velocity

and the resulting wind-transported soil particle

damage to plants.

Management measures that help to control erosion

include crop rotations, cover crops, crop residue

management, water- and sediment-control basins,

grassed waterways, and conservation tillage. Also,

plowing in the spring rather than in the fall helps to

control erosion. Management measures that conform

to a particular cropping system can be selected to

keep soil loss to an amount that will not reduce longterm productivity.

Crop rotations that include cover crops and

grasses and legumes reduce the hazard of erosion by

providing plant cover for extended periods. These

rotations protect bare soil from the erosive forces of

raindrop splash and water runoff. Increased water

infiltration occurs as soil structure improves in the

surface layer. The proportion of hay or pasture in the

rotation should increase as the percent of slope

increases.

A system of conservation tillage, including no-till

planting, that leaves crop residue on the surface can

help to control erosion on most of the soils in the

county. Such a system is best suited to well drained

and moderately well drained soils that dry and warm

early in the spring. Installing a surface and subsurface

drainage system in areas of somewhat poorly

drained, poorly drained, and very poorly drained soils

is necessary if conservation tillage systems are used.

Water- and sediment-control basins can be used in

place of grassed waterways in small watersheds.

These basins are earth embankments, generally

constructed across the slope of minor watercourses.

This practice traps sediment and minimizes gully

erosion. A high level of management, including weed

and insect control, is also needed.

Soil structure damage in the surface layer is more

commonly referred to as compaction, crusting, or clod

formation.

Compaction is a general management concern on

all of the cropland in the county. Pressure applied to

the soil surface by farm machinery can cause

compaction if the soil is soft and compressible

because of wetness. As soil structural units are

mashed and smeared, the pore space occupied by air

and water within these structural units and between

the structural units is reduced. Air and water

movement into and out of the soil is also restricted,
162 Soil Survey

resulting in ponding of surface water. This ponding is

especially noticeable at the ends of fields where

increased traffic occurs. Root penetration is restricted

to the upper part of the subsoil. Lower crop yields are

most noticeable at the ends of fields.

Factors that affect compaction on all soils

regardless of use include machinery size, weight, and

design (pounds of force per square inch of soil

surface area) and the type of farm implements

(wheeled versus tracked).

In addition to compaction, soil texture and soil

moisture content also affect crusting and clod

formation. Crusting, or hardening of the bare soil

surface, begins when the surface layer starts to dry

after intense periods of rainfall. Many of the soils in

Hancock County have a surface layer of silt loam or

silty clay loam. A crust can form in these soils as the

granular soil structure is destroyed by tillage. This

crust must be broken before some crop seedlings will

be able to emerge, especially in areas that are

continuously row cropped and in which conventional

tillage systems are used.

Clod formation, or hardening of the entire surface

layer, follows tillage when the soil moisture content is

too high. It is most noticeable in areas of soils that

have a surface layer that is high in content of clay.

Additional tillage is needed to break up these clods

and to facilitate preparation of a good seedbed.

Unless adequate rain is received soon after planting,

lower plant populations result from inadequate soil-toseed contact and inadequate available water.

Compaction, crusting, and clod formation can be

minimized by tilling the soil at the proper soil moisture

content. Less tillage results in less destruction of soil

structure. No-till systems initially result in less pore

space for air and water movement. After 2 or 3 years,

new soil structural units are formed and pore space

increases for air and water movement. More roots in

the soil contribute to better soil structure. In addition,

decreased tillage results in an increased number of

macropores (earthworm burrows) and increases the

pore space in the soil. This condition is most

noticeable in areas where long-term no-tillage

management systems have been applied, where the

soil is used for permanent pasture, or where grass is

included in the hay part of the crop rotation.

Droughtiness refers to an insufficient amount of

water available for good crop growth between periods

of rainfall. Some soils have a higher available water

capacity than others. Droughty soils that are used as

cropland or pasture in Hancock County are Arkport,

Biglick, Channahon, Dunbridge, Joliet, Millsdale,

Milton, Oshtemo, Ottokee, and Randolph soils. A

moderate depth to bedrock, stony or gravelly material

in the lower part of the subsoil, a severe hazard of

erosion, or any combination of these soil properties

and qualities results in a low available water capacity.

Many of the soils in which moisture shortages

occur are well suited to a system of conservation

tillage, such as no-till planting, that leaves crop

residue on the surface. The crop residue increases

the moisture supply by increasing the rate of water

infiltration and by reducing runoff and evaporation

rates.

Soil fertility depends on the natural fertility level in

the soil and on past use and management, including

previous applications of lime and fertilizer. As a result,

fertility can vary widely from field to field, even on the

same kind of soil.

About 16 chemical elements are essential to the

growth of plants. High crop yields and productive

pastures require adequate levels of plant nutrients,

lime, and organic matter. Maintaining these levels

results in sustained high yields on all of the soils in

the county.

Many nutrients are most readily available to plants

in areas where the soil is nearly neutral in reaction

(pH). They are less readily available in areas where

the soil is more acid or more alkaline. Some soils,

such as those in the Adrian series, are acid in the

upper part of the root zone. In these soils, periodic

additions of lime are needed to increase the

availability of plant nutrients.

Soil texture, organic matter content, and the type of

clay minerals influence the cation-exchange capacity

of the soil, which affects the storage and availability of

nutrients. The ability to store and release plant

nutrients increases as the content of clay and organic

matter increases. Pewamo soils have a high content

of clay and organic matter and a high capacity to

store and release plant nutrients. Soils that have a

lower content of clay or organic matter, such as those

in the Arkport and Ottokee series, have a reduced

capacity to store and release nutrients and lose more

nutrients through leaching. On these soils, frequent

applications of a small amount of fertilizer can

compensate for the nutrients lost through leaching.

On all soils, additions of lime and fertilizer should

be based on the results of soil tests and on crop

needs for the expected level of yields. The Ohio State

University Extension can help in determining the

kinds and amounts of fertilizer and lime to be applied.

Organic matter influences many soil properties,

including color, structure, tilth, the rate of water

infiltration, available water capacity, and cationexchange capacity. In Hancock County, soils that have

a light colored surface layer generally have a

moderate or low content of organic matter in the
Hancock County, Ohio 163

surface layer. Soils that have a dark surface layer

have a high content of organic matter. Cultivation

tends to lower the organic matter content by

increasing the rates of oxidation and erosion on

sloping soils. Returning all crop residue to the soil

helps to maintain the organic matter content. Cover

crops, sod crops, green manure crops, and additions

of manure increase the organic matter content.

Sewage sludge can have economic value as a

source of organic matter and some plant nutrients. If

the sludge is applied to land, management concerns

include the application rate, the hazards associated

with heavy metals, possible odor problems, and

health hazards. The chemical composition of the

sludge should be determined before the sludge is

applied. Additions of sludge to cropland should be

based on analysis of the sludge, the results of soil

tests, and the expected level of crop yields. The Ohio

State University Extension can provide information

about the application of sewage sludge.

Pastureland Management

Some of the acreage in the county is used as

pasture. The more common pasture and hay plants

are alfalfa, red clover, alsike clover, bluegrass,

orchardgrass, tall fescue, timothy, and bromegrass.

Pastures are commonly in areas of soils that have

severe limitations affecting row crops. Shallow soils,

such as those in the Biglick and Channahon series, or

soils on the steeper slopes, such as those in the

Lybrand and Morley series, are commonly used for

pasture.

The ability of a pasture to produce forage and to

provide enough cover for erosion control is influenced

by the number of livestock, the length of the period of

grazing, the timeliness of grazing, the forage being

grazed, and the availability of water. Good

management measures, such as proper stocking

rates, pasture rotation, timely deferment of grazing,

applications of lime and fertilizer, and control of

weeds and insects, help to maintain the key forage

plants. Maintaining soil fertility and mowing help to

control weeds. The need for lime and fertilizer should

be determined by soil tests. The amount of nutrients

to be applied should be based on the requirements of

the grasses or legumes to be grown.

Erosion control is a management need in areas of

gently sloping to very steep soils used as pasture.

The hazard of erosion increases as the percent of

slope increases. Many of these soils are already

eroded. Control of erosion is particularly important

when pastures are seeded. Using a no-till seeding

method or growing small grain as a companion crop

can help to control further erosion.

Soil compaction is caused by overgrazing or

grazing when the soils are wet. It can greatly reduce

the vigor of pasture plants. Also, it can increase the

runoff rate and the hazard of erosion on sloping

soils. Deferment of grazing during wet periods

minimizes compaction. Subsurface drains can be

effective in removing excess water from pastured

areas of very poorly drained or somewhat poorly

drained soils.

Seeding mixtures should be selected on the basis

of soil type and the desired management system.

Legumes increase the nutrient value of the forage and

provide nitrogen for the growth of grasses. Alfalfa

should be seeded in areas of well drained soils that

have adequate levels of plant nutrients and lime. The

wetter soils are better suited to alsike clover than to

red clover or to alfalfa. Information about seeding

mixtures, herbicide treatment, and other management

measures for specific soils can be obtained from the

local office of the Natural Resources Conservation

Service or the Ohio State University Extension.

Specialty Crops

The specialty crops grown commercially in

Hancock County include vegetables, nursery stock,

Christmas trees, and fruits. Very few specialty crops in

the county are irrigated. Slope, water-holding

capacity, infiltration rates, and rooting depths should

be considered in irrigated areas. The slope should not

exceed 6 percent. Well drained and moderately well

drained soils that have a loamy or sandy surface

layer, such as those in the Arkport, Fox, Oshtemo,

and Ottokee series, respond best to irrigation. Most

irrigation water in the county is obtained from wells

and ponds.

Specialty crops grown in Hancock County include

potatoes, tomatoes, sugar beets, popcorn, and sweet

corn. These crops grow best on very deep, dark soils

that have a high content of organic matter. Good

drainage on the surface and in the root zone are

important for a high level of productivity. Vegetables

grow well on soils that warm up early and are not

susceptible to compaction. A drainage system can be

installed in the more poorly drained areas. Adrian,

Alvada, Colwood, Gilford, Mermill, and Rensselaer

soils could be farmed intensively for vegetable

production.

Orchard crops grown in the county include apple,

peach, plum, pear, and cherry. Orchard crops grow

well on the better drained soils that have a loamy or

sandy surface layer, such as those in the Fox,

Gallman, Oshtemo, and Shawtown series. Areas of

loamy or sandy soils underlain with bedrock, such as

those in the Dunbridge series, could be planted to
164 Soil Survey

orchards. Most produce is marketed locally through

roadside farm markets.

The latest information about growing specialty

crops can be obtained from the local office of the

Natural Resources Conservation Service or the Ohio

State University Extension.

Cropland Limitations and Hazards

The management concerns affecting the use of the

detailed map units in the county for crops are shown

in table 5. The main concerns in managing

nonirrigated cropland are controlling flooding,

controlling water erosion and wind erosion, removing

excess water, minimizing surface crusting and

compaction, and maintaining tilth, fertility, and the

content of organic matter.

Generally, a combination of several practices is

needed to control water erosion and wind erosion.

Conservation tillage, contour farming, conservation

cropping systems, crop residue management,

diversions, grassed waterways, and field windbreaks

help to prevent excessive soil loss

A surface drainage system or a subsurface

drainage system, or both, can be used to remove

excess water, to lower the seasonal high water table,

and to help control ponding.

Tilling within the proper range in moisture content

minimizes surface compaction.

Measures that are effective in maintaining soil tilth,

fertility, and the content of organic matter include

applying fertilizer, both organic and inorganic,

including manure; incorporating crop residue or green

manure crops into the soil; and using proper crop

rotations. Controlling erosion helps to prevent the loss

of organic matter and plant nutrients and thus helps to

maintain productivity, although the level of fertility can

be reduced even in areas where erosion is controlled.

All soils used for nonirrigated crops respond well to

applications of fertilizer.

Some of the limitations and hazards shown in the

table cannot be easily overcome. These are ponding,

flooding, slope, and depth to bedrock.

Ponding.—Surface drains help to remove excess

surface water and minimize the damage caused by

ponding.

Flooding.—Flooding can damage winter grain and

forage crops. A tillage method that partly covers crop

residue and leaves a rough or ridged surface helps to

prevent removal of crop residue by floodwater. Tilling

and planting should be delayed in the spring until

flooding is no longer a hazard.

Slope.—In areas where the slope is more than

25 percent, water erosion can be excessive on

cultivated fields. The use of equipment is limited.

Cultivation may be restricted. Detailed soil map units

with D or E slopes are generally unsuited to row

crops.

Depth to bedrock.—Rooting depth and available

moisture may be limited by bedrock within a depth of

40 inches.

Additional limitations and hazards are as follows:

Potential for ground-water pollution.—The potential

for ground-water pollution is a concern in areas of

soils that have excessive permeability, have bedrock

within the profile, or have an apparent seasonal high

water table.

Root-restrictive layer.—Soil layers with high bulk

density have little pore space. These layers limit water

storage and restrict the penetration of plant roots.

Limited available water capacity, poor tilth, fair tilth,

and surface crusting.—These limitations can be

overcome by incorporating green manure crops,

manure, or crop residue into the soil; applying a

system of conservation tillage; and using

conservation cropping systems.

Surface stones.—Stones or boulders on the

surface can hinder normal tillage unless they are

removed.

Surface rock fragments.—This limitation causes

rapid wear of tillage equipment. It cannot be easily

overcome.

Very high clay content.—A very high clay content in

the subsoil and substratum restricts rooting depth.

High clay content.—A high clay content in the

subsoil and substratum restricts rooting depth.

Surface crusting.—Hardening of the bare soil

surface can hinder or prevent seedling emergence.

Minimizing tillage slows the destruction of soil

structure and helps to prevent crusting. Regular

additions of crop residue, manure, or other organic

materials improve soil structure and minimize

crusting.

Frost action.—Frost heaving can damage deeprooted legumes and some small grain.

Sandy layers.—Deep leaching of nutrients and

pesticides may result from sandy layers. Crops

generally respond better to smaller, more frequent

applications of fertilizer and lime than to one large

application.

Clodding.—Clods may inhibit germination, reduce

the rate of water infiltration, and increase the runoff

rate.

Subsidence of the muck.—Subsidence or

shrinking occurs as a result of oxidation in the organic

material after the soil is drained. Control of the water

table by subirrigation through subsurface drain lines

reduces the hazards of subsidence, burning, and soil

blowing.
Hancock County, Ohio 165

Wind erosion.—The detachment and transportation

of soil particles by wind. Cover crops and field

windbreaks help protect the soil surface by reducing

the amount of exposed surface or by reducing the

length of unsheltered areas exposed to prevailing

winds.

Following is an explanation of the criteria used to

determine the limitations or hazards.

Ponding.—Ponding duration is assigned to the

component of the map unit.

Frequent flooding.—The component of the map

unit is frequently flooded.

Occasional flooding.—The component of the map

unit is occasionally flooded.

High potential for ground-water pollution.—The soil

has an apparent water table within a depth of 4 feet or

bedrock within a depth of 60 inches, or permeability is

more than 6 inches per hour in at least one layer

within the soil and the soil does not have a layer with

permeability of 0.2 inch per hour or less within

80 inches of the surface.

Moderate potential for ground-water pollution.—

Permeability is between 2 and 6 inches per hour in at

least one layer within the soil and the soil does not

have a layer with permeability of 0.6 inch per hour or

less within 80 inches of the surface.

Easily eroded.—The surface K factor multiplied by

the average slope is more than 2 (same as prime

farmland criteria).

Erosion hazard.—The average slope is more than

2 percent.

Excessive slope.—The upper slope range of the

component of the map unit is more than 25 percent.

Most of the surface layer removed by erosion.—

The surface layer of the component of the map unit is

severely eroded (75 percent or more of the original A

and E horizons has been lost).

Part of the surface layer removed by erosion.—The

surface layer of the component of the map unit is

eroded (25 to 75 percent of the original A and E

horizons has been lost).

Root-restrictive layer.—The component has dense

material within a depth of 40 inches.

Limited available water capacity.—The available

water capacity calculated to a depth of 60 inches or to

a root-limiting layer is 6 inches or less.

Depth to bedrock.—Bedrock is within a depth of

40 inches.

Surface stones.—The terms describing the

texture of the surface layer include any stony or

bouldery modifier, or the soil is a stony or bouldery

phase.

Surface rock fragments.—The terms describing the

texture of the surface layer include any rock fragment

modifier except for gravelly or channery, and “surface

stones” is not already indicated as a limitation.

Very high clay content.—The component of the

map unit has more than 60 percent clay within

40 inches of the soil surface.

High clay content.—The component of the map

unit has 40 to 60 percent clay within 40 inches of the

soil surface.

Seasonal high water table.—The top of the water

table in the component of the map unit is at a depth of

1.5 feet or shallower, and the ponding duration is not

assigned.

Surface compaction.—The component of the map

unit has a surface layer of silt loam, silty clay loam,

clay loam, or silty clay.

Poor tilth.—The component of the map unit is

severely eroded, has less than 1 percent organic

matter in the surface layer, or has more than

35 percent clay in the surface layer.

Fair tilth.—The component of the map unit has a

surface layer of silty clay loam or clay loam, has less

than 35 percent clay in the surface layer, or is a

moderately eroded phase of loam or silt loam.

Restricted permeability.—Permeability is 0.06 inch

per hour or less within 40 inches of the soil surface.

Surface crusting.—The content of organic matter in

the surface layer is less than or equal to 3 percent,

and the texture is silt loam or silty clay loam.

Clodding.—The component of the map unit

has a surface layer with clay content of more than

32 percent.

Sandy layers.—The component of the map unit has

sand, loamy sand, loamy fine sand, or fine sand in all

layers within 40 inches of the surface, or the subgroup

is Psammentic or Arenic.

Frost action.—The component of the map unit has

a high potential for frost action.

Subsidence of the muck.—The organic matter

content of the surface layer of the component of the

map unit is greater than or equal to 20 percent.

Wind erosion.—The component of the map unit is

assigned to wind erodibility group 1, 2, or 3.

Land Capability Classification

Land capability classification shows, in a general

way, the suitability of soils for most kinds of field

crops. Crops that require special management are

excluded. The soils are grouped according to their

limitations for field crops, the risk of damage if they

are used for crops, and the way they respond to

management. The criteria used in grouping the soils

do not include major and generally expensive

landforming that would change slope, depth, or other

characteristics of the soils, nor do they include
166 Soil Survey

possible but unlikely major reclamation projects.

Capability classification is not a substitute for

interpretations designed to show suitability and

limitations of groups of soils for woodland or for

engineering purposes.

In the capability system, soils are generally

grouped at three levels—capability class, subclass,

and unit (USDA, SCS 1961).

Capability classes, the broadest groups, are

designated by the numbers 1 through 8. The numbers

indicate progressively greater limitations and narrower

choices for practical use. The classes are defined as

follows:

Class 1 soils have slight limitations that restrict

their use.

Class 2 soils have moderate limitations that restrict

the choice of plants or that require moderate

conservation practices.

Class 3 soils have severe limitations that restrict

the choice of plants or that require special

conservation practices, or both.

Class 4 soils have very severe limitations that

restrict the choice of plants or that require very careful

management, or both.

Class 5 soils are subject to little or no erosion but

have other limitations, impractical to remove, that

restrict their use mainly to pasture, woodland, or

wildlife habitat.

Class 6 soils have severe limitations that make

them generally unsuitable for cultivation and that

restrict their use mainly to pasture, woodland, or

wildlife habitat.

Class 7 soils have very severe limitations that

make them unsuitable for cultivation and that restrict

their use mainly to grazing, woodland, or wildlife

habitat.

Class 8 soils and miscellaneous areas have

limitations that preclude commercial plant production

and that restrict their use to recreational purposes,

wildlife habitat, watershed, or esthetic purposes.

Capability subclasses are soil groups within one

class. They are designated by adding a small letter, e,

w, s, or c, to the class numeral, for example, 2e. The

letter e shows that the main hazard is the risk of

erosion unless close-growing plant cover is

maintained; w shows that water in or on the soil

interferes with plant growth or cultivation (in some

soils the wetness can be partly corrected by artificial

drainage); s shows that the soil is limited mainly

because it is shallow, droughty, or stony; and c, used

in only some parts of the United States, shows that

the chief limitation is climate that is very cold or very

dry.

In class 1 there are no subclasses because the

soils of this class have few limitations. Class 5

contains only the subclasses indicated by w, s, or c

because the soils in class 5 are subject to little or no

erosion. They have other limitations that restrict their

use to pasture, woodland, wildlife habitat, or

recreation.

The acreage of soils in each capability class or

subclass is shown in table 6. The capability

classification of map units in this survey area is given

in the “Detailed Soil Map Units” section and in the

“Interpretive Groups” section.

Crop Yield Index

Table 7 is the crop yield index for Hancock County.

The yield index reflects the relative productivity of a

soil in relation to other soils in the county. It is based

on the most productive soil (Colwood loam, 0 to

1 percent slopes), which is assigned a rating of 100.

The other soils are ranked against this standard. The

yields used to calculate the index values are based

on the use of good management practices.

The estimated yields can be calculated by using

the yield index number as a percentage and

multiplying it by 192 bushels for corn, 60 bushels for

soybeans, or 92 bushels for wheat. For example, to

calculate the estimated yield of corn for map unit AdA,

multiply the index number given in table 7 for corn, as

a percentage (.76), by 192. The result is an estimated

146 bushels of corn.

Advances in equipment technology, plant genetics,

drainage, nutrient and pest management, and soil

management make standard yield tables obsolete

within several years. This index table provides users

with the relative productivity of soils, which is less

affected by these factors. To use this yield index in the

future to calculate estimated yields, use current yield

data.

Current yield data and additional information on

calculating estimated yields are available from the

local office of the Natural Resources Conservation

Service or the Ohio State University Extension.

Pasture and Hayland Interpretations

Soils are assigned to pasture and hayland groups

according to their suitability for the production of

forage. The soils in each group are similar enough to

be suited to the same species of grasses or legumes,

have similar limitations and hazards, require similar

management, and have similar productivity levels and

other responses to management.

Under good management, proper grazing is

essential for the production of high-quality forage,
Hancock County, Ohio 167

stand survival, and erosion control. Proper grazing

helps plants to maintain sufficient and generally

vigorous top growth during the growing season. Brush

control is essential in many areas, and weed control

generally is needed. Rotation grazing and renovation

also are important management practices.

The pasture and hayland suitability group symbol

for each soil is given in the section “Detailed Soil Map

Units” and in the “Interpretive Groups” section. Soils

assigned the same suitability group symbol require

the same general management and have about the

same potential productivity. The pasture and hayland

suitability groups are based on soil characteristics

and limitations.

Soils assigned to group A have few limitations

affecting the management and growth of climatically

adapted plants.

Soils in group A-1 are very deep and are well

drained or moderately well drained. They have a

surface layer of silty clay loam, fine sandy loam,

sandy loam, or loam. Available water capacity ranges

from moderate to very high. These soils respond

favorably to additions of lime. Frequent applications

may be needed to maintain an adequate pH level. A

low pH in the subsoil can shorten the life of some

deep-rooted legumes in the stand. Slopes range from

0 to 12 percent.

Soils in group A-3 are deep or very deep and are

well drained or moderately well drained. They have a

surface layer of silt loam. Slopes range from 18 to

50 percent. These soils generally are not suited to

pasture or hay because of the slope.

Soils in group A-5 are very deep and are well

drained or moderately well drained. They are subject

to occasional periods of flooding. The flooding limits

the use of these soils for pasture during periods of

stream overflow, and sediment lowers the quality of

the forage. The soils have a surface layer of silt loam

or loam. Available water capacity is moderate or high.

Slopes range from 0 to 2 percent.

Soils in group A-6 are very deep, are moderately

well drained, and are subject to frost action. Frost

action can damage legume stands. Mixing fibrousrooted grasses with legumes and using proper

grazing management methods help to prevent the

damage caused by frost action. The soils have a

surface layer of silt loam, loam, fine sandy loam,

loamy fine sand, clay loam, or silty clay loam.

Available water capacity is moderate or high. Slopes

range from 0 to 18 percent.

Soils in group B have limited growth and production

potential because of droughtiness.

Soils in group B-1 are very deep and are well

drained or moderately well drained. They have a

surface layer of loam or loamy fine sand. Available

water capacity is low. These soils are sandy or

coarse-loamy in the subsoil. Slopes range from 0 to

6 percent.

Soils in group C are wet because of a seasonal

high water table.

Soils in group C-1 are very deep and are

somewhat poorly drained, poorly drained, or very

poorly drained. They have a surface layer of silt loam,

silty clay loam, silty clay, clay loam, loam, mucky

loam, fine sandy loam, loamy fine sand, or loamy

sand. Available water capacity ranges from low to

high. These soils normally respond well to subsurface

drainage. Slopes range from 0 to 4 percent.

Soils in group C-2 are moderately deep to very

deep and are somewhat poorly drained, poorly

drained, or very poorly drained. They have a surface

layer of silty clay loam or silt loam. Available water

capacity is low or moderate. A high seasonal water

table limits the rooting depth of deep-rooted forage

plants. Some of these soils have bedrock at a depth

that also restricts root penetration. Shallow-rooted

species grow best in areas of these soils. Subsurface

drains are used to lower the seasonal high water

table. The effectiveness of a subsurface drainage

system is typically restricted by the permeability of the

subsoil, the depth to bedrock, or the landscape

position of the soil. Because of the limited root zone,

the soils in this group are better suited to forage

species that do not have a taproot. Slopes range from

0 to 2 percent.

Soils in group C-3 are very deep and are very

poorly drained or somewhat poorly drained. They are

subject to occasional or frequent periods of flooding.

The flooding limits the use of these soils for pasture

during periods of stream overflow, and sediment

lowers the quality of the forage. The soils have a

surface layer of silt loam, loam, or silty clay loam.

Available water capacity is high. Slopes range from

0 to 2 percent. Frost action may damage legumes.

Including grasses in a seeding mixture and using

proper grazing management methods help to prevent

the damage caused by frost heaving. A seasonal high

water table limits the rooting depth of forage plants.

Shallow-rooted species grow best in areas of these

soils. Subsurface drains are used to lower the

seasonal high water table. The effectiveness of a

subsurface drainage system is restricted by the

landscape position of the soils.

Soils in group D are organic soils. Soils in

group D-1 are very deep and are very poorly drained.

They formed in organic material underlain by sandy

deposits. Available water capacity is very high. Slopes

are 0 to 1 percent.
168 Soil Survey

Soils in group E are shallow or very shallow and

are well drained, moderately well drained, somewhat

poorly drained, or poorly drained. These soils have

bedrock between depths of 4 and 20 inches that

restricts the penetration of roots. These soils are

droughty. They have a surface layer of loam. Available

water capacity is very low or low. Slopes range from 0

to 12 percent.

Soils in group F have only a moderately deep root

zone. The growth of climatically adapted plants is

restricted in these soils to a depth of 20 to 40 inches.

Because of the restricted root zone, the soils in this

group are better suited to forage species that do not

have a taproot.

Soils in group F-1 are moderately deep and are

well drained or moderately well drained. The Harrod

soil in map unit HaA is subject to frequent periods of

flooding. The flooding limits the use of this Harrod soil

for pasture during periods of stream overflow, and

sediment lowers the quality of the forage. The soils in

group F-1 have a surface layer of silt loam, loam, or

loamy fine sand. Available water capacity is very low

to moderate. These soils are droughty but are suitable

for warm-season grasses, such as switchgrass, big

bluestem, indiangrass, and Caucasian bluestem. The

soils respond favorably to additions of lime. Frequent

applications may be needed to maintain an adequate

pH level. The low pH of the subsoil in some of these

soils can shorten the life of some deep-rooted

legumes in the stand. Slopes range from 0 to

6 percent.

Soils in group F-5 are very deep and are

moderately well drained. They have a surface layer of

silty clay loam or silt loam. Available water capacity is

low or moderate. A high content of clay in the subsoil

restricts the rooting depth of deep-rooted forage

plants. Shallow-rooted species grow best in areas of

these soils. Because of the limited root zone, the soils

are better suited to forage species that do not have a

taproot. Slopes range from 2 to 12 percent.

Soils in group F-7 are very deep and are somewhat

poorly drained or very poorly drained. They have a

surface layer of loam or silty clay loam. Available

water capacity is low or moderate. A high content of

clay in the subsoil restricts the rooting depth of deeprooted forage plants. Shallow-rooted species grow

best in areas of these soils. Subsurface drains are

used to lower the seasonal high water table. The

effectiveness of a subsurface drainage system is

generally limited by the permeability of the subsoil

and the landscape position of the soils. Because of

the limited root zone, these soils are better suited to

forage species that do not have a taproot. Slopes

range from 0 to 6 percent.

Additional information about forage yields in the

county can be obtained at the local office of the

Natural Resources Conservation Service or from the

Ohio State University Extension.

Prime Farmland and Other Important

Farmlands

In an effort to identify the extent and location of

important farmlands, the Natural Resources

Conservation Service, in cooperation with other

interested Federal, State, and local government

organizations, has inventoried land that can be used

for the production of the Nation’s food supply.

Important farmlands consist of prime farmland,

unique farmland, and farmland of statewide or local

importance.

Prime farmland is of major importance in meeting

the Nation’s short- and long-range needs for food and

fiber. Because the supply of high-quality farmland is

limited, the U.S. Department of Agriculture recognizes

that responsible levels of government, as well as

individuals, should encourage and facilitate the wise

use of our Nation’s prime farmland.

Prime farmland, as defined by the U.S. Department

of Agriculture, is land that has the best combination of

physical and chemical characteristics for producing

food, feed, forage, fiber, and oilseed crops and is

available for these uses. It could be cultivated land,

pastureland, woodland, or other land, but it is not

urban or built-up land or water areas. The soil quality,

growing season, and moisture supply are those

needed for the soil to economically produce sustained

high yields of crops when proper management,

including water management, and acceptable farming

methods are applied. In general, prime farmland has

an adequate and dependable supply of moisture from

precipitation or irrigation, a favorable temperature and

growing season, acceptable acidity or alkalinity, an

acceptable salt and sodium content, and few or no

rocks. The water supply is dependable and of

adequate quality. Prime farmland is permeable to

water and air. It is not excessively erodible or

saturated with water for long periods, and it either is

not frequently flooded during the growing season or is

protected from flooding. Slope ranges mainly from 0

to 6 percent. More detailed information about the

criteria for prime farmland is available at the local

office of the Natural Resources Conservation Service.

About 327,000 acres, or about 96 percent of the

total acreage in the county, meets the soil

requirements for prime farmland as defined by the

U.S. Department of Agriculture. The acreage in the

county dominantly consists of prime farmland soils;
Hancock County, Ohio 169

however, small areas of soils that do not meet the

requirements for prime farmland are scattered

throughout the county.

Most of the prime farmland in the county is used as

cropland. Urbanization in and around the cities of

Findlay and Fostoria and development along the

Interstate 75 corridor account for most of the prime

farmland lost to agricultural uses.

The map units in the survey area that are

considered prime farmland are listed in table 8 and

shown in the “Interpretive Groups” section. The list

does not constitute a recommendation for a particular

land use. On some soils included in the list, measures

that overcome a hazard or limitation, such as flooding,

wetness, and droughtiness, are needed. Onsite

evaluation is needed to determine whether or not the

hazard or limitation has been overcome by corrective

measures. The extent of each listed map unit is

shown in table 4. The location is shown on the

detailed soil maps. The soil qualities that affect use

and management are described under the heading

“Detailed Soil Map Units.”

Unique farmland is land other than prime farmland

that is used for the production of specific high-value

food and fiber crops, such as citrus, tree nuts, olives,

cranberries, and other fruits and vegetables. It has the

special combination of soil quality, growing season,

moisture supply, temperature, humidity, air drainage,

elevation, and aspect needed for the soil to

economically produce sustainable high yields of these

special crops when properly managed. The water

supply is dependable and of adequate quality.

Nearness to markets is an additional consideration.

Because it is not based on national criteria, unique

farmland can differ from one area to another. A list

of unique farmland is developed as needed in

cooperation with conservation districts and others.

In some areas land that does not meet the criteria

for prime or unique farmland is considered to be

farmland of statewide importance for the production of

food, feed, fiber, forage, and oilseed crops. The

criteria for defining and delineating farmland of

statewide importance are determined by the

appropriate State agencies. Generally, this land

includes areas of soils that nearly meet the

requirements for prime farmland and that

economically produce high yields of crops when

treated and managed according to acceptable

farming methods. Some areas may produce as high a

yield as prime farmland if conditions are favorable.

Farmland of statewide importance may include tracts

of land that have been designated for agriculture by

State law.

In some areas that are not identified as having

national or statewide importance, land is considered

to be farmland of local importance for the production

of food, feed, fiber, forage, and oilseed crops. This

farmland is identified by the appropriate local

agencies. Farmland of local importance may include

tracts of land that have been designated for

agriculture by local ordinance.

Agricultural Waste Management

Soil properties are important considerations in

areas where soils are used as sites for the treatment

and disposal of organic waste and wastewater.

Selection of soils with properties that favor waste

management can help to prevent environmental

damage.

Table 9 shows the degree and kind of soil

limitations affecting the treatment of agricultural

waste, including municipal and food-processing

wastewater and effluent from lagoons or storage

ponds. Municipal wastewater is the waste stream from

a municipality. It contains domestic waste and may

contain industrial waste. It may have received primary

or secondary treatment. It is rarely untreated sewage.

Food-processing wastewater results from the

preparation of fruits, vegetables, milk, cheese, and

meats for public consumption. In places it is high in

content of sodium and chloride. In the context of this

table, the effluent in lagoons and storage ponds is

from facilities used to treat or store food-processing

wastewater or domestic or animal waste. Domestic

and food-processing wastewater is very dilute, and

the effluent from the facilities that treat or store it

commonly is very low in content of carbonaceous

and nitrogenous material; the content of nitrogen

commonly ranges from 10 to 30 milligrams per liter.

The wastewater from animal waste treatment

lagoons or storage ponds, however, has much

higher concentrations of these materials, mainly

because the manure has not been diluted as much

as the domestic waste. The content of nitrogen in

this wastewater generally ranges from 50 to

2,000 milligrams per liter. When wastewater is

applied, checks should be made to ensure that

nitrogen, heavy metals, and salts are not added in

excessive amounts.

The ratings in the table are for waste management

systems that not only dispose of and treat organic

waste or wastewater but also are beneficial to crops

(application of manure and food-processing waste,

application of sewage sludge, and disposal of

wastewater by irrigation).
170 Soil Survey

The ratings are both verbal and numerical. Rating

class terms indicate the extent to which the soils are

limited by all of the soil features that affect agricultural

waste management. Not limited indicates that the soil

has features that are very favorable for the specified

use. Good performance and very low maintenance

can be expected. Slightly limited indicates that the soil

has features that are generally favorable for the

specified use. The limitations are minor and can be

easily overcome. Good performance and low

maintenance can be expected. Somewhat limited

indicates that the soil has features that are

moderately favorable for the specified use. The

limitations can be overcome or minimized by special

planning, design, or installation. Fair performance and

moderate maintenance can be expected. Very limited

indicates that the soil has one or more features that

are unfavorable for the specified use. The limitations

generally cannot be overcome without major soil

reclamation, special design, or expensive installation

procedures. Poor performance and high maintenance

can be expected.

Numerical ratings in the table indicate the severity

of individual limitations. The ratings are shown as

decimal fractions ranging from 0.01 to 1.00. They

indicate gradations between the point at which a soil

feature has the greatest negative impact on the use

(1.00) and the point at which the soil feature is not a

limitation (0.00).

Application of manure and food-processing waste

not only disposes of waste material but also can

improve crop production by increasing the supply of

nutrients in the soils where the material is applied.

Manure is the excrement of livestock and poultry, and

food-processing waste is damaged fruit and

vegetables and the peelings, stems, leaves, pits, and

soil particles removed in food preparation. The

manure and food-processing waste are either solid,

slurry, or liquid. Their nitrogen content varies. A high

content of nitrogen limits the application rate. Toxic or

otherwise dangerous wastes, such as those mixed

with the lye used in food processing, are not

considered in the ratings.

The ratings are based on the soil properties that

affect absorption, plant growth, microbial activity,

erodibility, the rate at which the waste is applied, and

the method by which the waste is applied. The

properties that affect absorption include permeability,

depth to a water table, ponding, the sodium

adsorption ratio, depth to bedrock or a cemented pan,

and available water capacity. The properties that

affect plant growth and microbial activity include

reaction, the sodium adsorption ratio, salinity, and

bulk density. The wind erodibility group, the soil

erodibility factor K, and slope are considered in

estimating the likelihood that wind erosion or water

erosion will transport the waste material from the

application site. Stones, cobbles, a water table,

ponding, and flooding can hinder the application of

waste. Permanently frozen soils are unsuitable for

waste treatment.

Application of sewage sludge not only disposes of

waste material but also can improve crop production

by increasing the supply of nutrients in the soils

where the material is applied. In the context of this

table, sewage sludge is the residual product of the

treatment of municipal sewage. The solid component

consists mainly of cell mass, primarily bacteria cells

that developed during secondary treatment and have

incorporated soluble organics into their own bodies.

The sludge has small amounts of sand, silt, and other

solid debris. The content of nitrogen varies. Some

sludge has constituents that are toxic to plants or

hazardous to the food chain, such as heavy metals

and exotic organic compounds, and should be

analyzed chemically prior to use.

The content of water in the sludge ranges from

about 98 percent to less than 40 percent. The sludge

is considered liquid if it is more than about 90 percent

water, slurry if it is about 50 to 90 percent water, and

solid if it is less than about 50 percent water.

The ratings in the table are based on the soil

properties that affect absorption, plant growth,

microbial activity, erodibility, the rate at which the

sludge is applied, and the method by which the

sludge is applied. The properties that affect

absorption, plant growth, and microbial activity

include permeability, depth to a water table, ponding,

the sodium adsorption ratio, depth to bedrock or a

cemented pan, available water capacity, reaction,

salinity, and bulk density. The wind erodibility group,

the soil erodibility factor K, and slope are considered

in estimating the likelihood that wind erosion or water

erosion will transport the waste material from the

application site. Stones, cobbles, a water table,

ponding, and flooding can hinder the application of

sludge. Permanently frozen soils are unsuitable for

waste treatment.

Disposal of wastewater by irrigation not only

disposes of municipal wastewater and wastewater

from food-processing plants, lagoons, and storage

ponds but also can improve crop production by

increasing the amount of water available to crops. The

ratings in the table are based on the soil properties

that affect the design, construction, management, and

performance of the irrigation system. The properties

that affect design and management include the

sodium adsorption ratio, depth to a water table,
Hancock County, Ohio 171

ponding, available water capacity, permeability, slope,

and flooding. The properties that affect construction

include stones, cobbles, depth to bedrock or a

cemented pan, depth to a water table, and ponding.

The properties that affect performance include depth

to bedrock or a cemented pan, bulk density, the

sodium adsorption ratio, salinity, reaction, and the

cation-exchange capacity, which is used to estimate

the capacity of a soil to adsorb heavy metals.

Permanently frozen soils are not suitable for disposal

of wastewater by irrigation.

Woodland Productivity and Management

Steve Siam, service forester, Ohio Department of Natural

Resources, Division of Forestry, helped to prepare this section.

Nearly all of Hancock County was forested at the

time of the earliest land surveys. The climax forest

community was dominantly beech forest in most of

the county. The northern part of the county is within

the Great Black Swamp Region of Ohio. This area

was characterized by an elm-ash swamp forest

community. Scattered remnants of other native plant

communities exist in the county. These include the

mixed oak forest community and the marshes and

fens community (Gordon 1969).

In 1985, nearly 21,800 acres, or about 6.4 percent

of the county, remained in woodland (Hancock Soil

and Water Conservation District 1995). Most of this

acreage is in small, scattered woodlots on slopes

along stream valleys, on flood plains, and in isolated

tracts on uplands. Most of the woodland has been cut

over, and much of it has been grazed.

The return from the sale of wood products is

smaller than that from the sale of other farm products

on individual farms. However, if timber is competitively

bid out, the maximum profit can be realized because

of increased demand and changing markets for a

variety of native hardwoods. The demand for highquality oak and walnut is relatively stable, but new

markets, such as elm veneer, are developing.

The potential for increased production of timber is

high. If managed well, woodlots are capable of

producing high-quality, rapidly growing native

hardwoods. Woodlots also provide firewood, lumber,

edible nuts, wildlife habitat, esthetic value, and

protection from winds.

Much of the woodland in the county is in need of

some type of conservation treatment. Livestock

grazing in the woodland and inadequate timber

management are the major problems. Timber stand

improvement practices, such as culling diseased trees

and the less desirable trees and cutting and spraying

grapevines, improve the growth rate of favored

species. Harvesting mature trees benefits desirable

trees by reducing competition and the potential for

disease. When species are selected for planting on

open ground, the slope and the type of soil should be

considered. Planting in established stands is seldom

necessary. Fencing livestock out of the woods and

providing fire protection help to maintain good stands.

The soil properties at a specific site influence

woodland management. The seedling mortality rate,

the hazard of windthrow, the equipment limitation, and

the hazard of erosion are management concerns that

are influenced by the soil type. The water-holding

capacity, drainage, and slope affect plant competition

and seedling mortality. The texture of the surface

layer, the organic matter content, slope, and drainage

influence logging schedules, the equipment limitation,

and the extent of damage sustained to the woodland

environment during logging. Depth to the seasonal

high water table or depth to bedrock influence rooting

depth, which in turn affects windthrow and site

productivity.

Soil type and plant species are related. Soils that

are subject to ponding for part of the year commonly

support stands of soft maple, bur oak, swamp white

oak, and pin oak. The somewhat poorly drained,

poorly drained, and very poorly drained soils are best

suited to hydrophytic species, such as sycamore,

swamp white oak, American elm, and pin oak.

Moderately well drained and well drained soils

support a greater variety of tree species, including

white pine, red oak, white oak, ash, hickory,

basswood, walnut, yellow-poplar, sugar maple, beech,

and cherry.

Information on woodland management is available

from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources,

Division of Forestry; the Ohio State University

Extension; and the Natural Resources Conservation

Service.

Tables 10 through 13 can help woodland owners or

managers plan the use of soils for wood crops. They

show the potential productivity of the soils for wood

crops and rate the soils according to the limitations

that affect various aspects of woodland management.

Woodland Productivity

In table 10, the potential productivity of

merchantable or common trees on a soil is expressed

as a site index and as a volume number. The site

index is the average height, in feet, that dominant and

codominant trees of a given species attain in a

specified number of years. The site index applies to

fully stocked, even-aged, unmanaged stands.

Commonly grown trees are those that woodland

managers generally favor in intermediate or
172 Soil Survey

improvement cuttings. They are selected on the basis

of growth rate, quality, value, and marketability. More

detailed information regarding site index is available in

the “National Forestry Manual” (USDA, NRCS n.d.).

This manual is available at the local office of the

Natural Resources Conservation Service or on the

Internet.

The volume of wood fiber, a number, is the yield

likely to be produced by the most important tree

species. This number, expressed as cubic feet per

acre per year and calculated at the age of culmination

of the mean annual increment (CMAI), indicates the

amount of fiber produced in a fully stocked, evenaged, unmanaged stand.

Trees to manage are those that are preferred for

planting, seeding, or natural regeneration and those

that remain in the stand after thinning or partial

harvest.

Woodland Management

In tables 11 through 13, interpretive ratings are

given for various aspects of woodland management.

The ratings are both verbal and numerical.

Some rating class terms indicate the degree to

which the soils are suited to a specified woodland

management practice. Well suited indicates that the

soil has features that are favorable for the specified

practice and has no limitations. Good performance

can be expected, and little or no maintenance is

needed. Moderately well suited indicates that the soil

has features that are moderately favorable for the

specified practice. One or more soil properties are

less than desirable, and fair performance can be

expected. Some maintenance is needed. Poorly

suited indicates that the soil has one or more

properties that are unfavorable for the specified

practice. Overcoming the unfavorable properties

requires special design, extra maintenance, and

costly alteration. Unsuited indicates that the expected

performance of the soil is unacceptable for the

specified practice or that extreme measures are

needed to overcome the undesirable soil properties.

Numerical ratings in the tables indicate the severity

of individual limitations. The ratings are shown as

decimal fractions ranging from 0.01 to 1.00. They

indicate gradations between the point at which a soil

feature has the greatest negative impact on the

specified woodland management practice (1.00) and

the point at which the soil feature is not a limitation

(0.00). Soils with no potential limitations (or soils with

values less than 0.01) have a rating of low, slight, or

well suited and are not assigned a value in the tables.

Rating class terms for fire damage and seedling

mortality are expressed as low, moderate, and high.

Where these terms are used, the numerical ratings

indicate gradations between the point at which the

potential for fire damage or seedling mortality is

highest (1.00) and the point at which the potential is

lowest (0.00).

The paragraphs that follow indicate the soil

properties considered in rating the soils for woodland

management practices. More detailed information

about the criteria used in the ratings is available in the

“National Forestry Manual” (USDA, NRCS n.d.). This

manual is available at the local office of the Natural

Resources Conservation Service or on the Internet.

Ratings in the column erosion hazard are based on

slope and on soil erodibility factor K. The soil loss is

caused by sheet or rill erosion in off-road or off-trail

areas where 50 to 75 percent of the surface has been

exposed by logging, grazing, mining, or other kinds of

disturbance. The hazard is described as slight,

moderate, severe, or very severe. A rating of slight

indicates that erosion is unlikely under ordinary

climatic conditions; moderate indicates that some

erosion is likely and that erosion-control measures

may be needed; severe indicates that erosion is very

likely and that erosion-control measures, including

revegetation of bare areas, are advised; and very

severe indicates that significant erosion is expected,

loss of soil productivity and off-site damage are likely,

and erosion-control measures are costly and

generally impractical.

Ratings in the column seedling mortality are based

on flooding, ponding, depth to a water table, content

of lime, reaction, salinity, available water capacity, soil

moisture regime, soil temperature regime, aspect, and

slope. The soils are described as having a low,

moderate, or high potential for seedling mortality.

Ratings in the column soil rutting hazard are based

on depth to a water table, rock fragments on or below

the surface, the Unified classification, depth to a

restrictive layer, and slope. Ruts form as a result of

the operation of woodland equipment. The hazard is

described as slight, moderate, or severe. A rating of

slight indicates that the soil is subject to little or no

rutting, moderate indicates that rutting is likely, and

severe indicates that ruts form readily.

For limitations affecting construction of haul roads

and log landings, the ratings are based on slope,

flooding, permafrost, plasticity index, the hazard of

soil slippage, content of sand, the Unified

classification, rock fragments on or below the surface,

depth to a restrictive layer that is indurated, depth to a

water table, and ponding. The limitations are

described as slight, moderate, or severe. A rating of

slight indicates that no significant limitations affect

construction activities, moderate indicates that one or
Hancock County, Ohio 173

more limitations can cause some difficulty in

construction, and severe indicates that one or more

limitations can make construction very difficult or very

costly.

Ratings in the column suitability for roads (natural

surface) are based on slope, rock fragments on the

surface, plasticity index, content of sand, the Unified

classification, depth to a water table, ponding,

flooding, and the hazard of soil slippage. The ratings

indicate the suitability for using the natural surface of

the soil for roads. The soils are described as well

suited, moderately well suited, or poorly suited to this

use.

Ratings in the column harvest equipment

operability are based on slope, rock fragments on the

surface, plasticity index, content of sand, the Unified

classification, depth to a water table, and ponding.

The soils are described as well suited, moderately

well suited, or poorly suited to this use.

Ratings in the column suitability for mechanical

planting are based on slope, depth to a restrictive

layer, content of sand, plasticity index, rock fragments

on or below the surface, depth to a water table, and

ponding. The soils are described as well suited,

moderately well suited, poorly suited, or unsuited to

these methods of planting. It is assumed that

necessary site preparation is completed before

seedlings are planted.

Ratings in the column suitability for site preparation

are based on slope, depth to a restrictive layer,

plasticity index, rock fragments on or below the

surface, depth to a water table, and ponding. The soils

are described as well suited, poorly suited, or

unsuited to this management activity. The part of the

soil from the surface to a depth of about 1 foot is

considered in the ratings.

Ratings in the column potential for damage to soil

by fire are based on texture of the surface layer,

content of rock fragments and organic matter in the

surface layer, thickness of the surface layer, and

slope. The soils are described as having a low,

moderate, or high potential for this kind of damage.

The ratings indicate an evaluation of the potential

impact of prescribed fires or wildfires that are intense

enough to remove the duff layer and consume organic

matter in the surface layer.

Windbreaks and Environmental Plantings

Greg Maxfield, district forester, Ohio Department of Natural

Resources, Division of Forestry, helped to prepare this section.

In Hancock County, the importance of field

windbreaks and environmental plantings is increasing.

Many soils in the county are susceptible to wind

erosion. They include the Adrian, Arkport, Ottokee,

Rimer, and Tuscola soils. These soils can be severely

affected by southwesterly winds in the spring. As a

result, newly planted seeds may be left uncovered

and small plants are damaged by windblown sand. In

addition to helping control erosion, properly designed

field windbreaks reduce the amount of windblown soil

that reaches drainage ditches on farms.

Farm and homestead windbreaks are rows of trees

or shrubs established adjacent to farm buildings,

feedlots, and homes. These windbreaks are usually

planted perpendicular to the prevailing winter wind.

Planting multiple rows of various species provides the

best protection from winds and results in more varied

wildlife habitat.

Field windbreaks are narrow plantings made at

right angles to the prevailing wind and at specific

intervals across the field. The interval depends on the

erodibility of the soil.

Environmental plantings help to beautify and

screen houses and other buildings and to abate

noise. The plants, mostly evergreen shrubs and trees,

are closely spaced. To ensure plant survival, a healthy

planting stock of suitable species should be planted

properly on a well prepared site and maintained in

good condition.

Table 14 shows the height that locally grown trees

and shrubs are expected to reach in 20 years on

various soils. The estimates in the table are based on

measurements and observation of established

plantings that have been given adequate care. They

can be used as a guide in planning windbreaks and

screens. Additional information on planning

windbreaks and screens and planting and caring for

trees and shrubs can be obtained from a commercial

nursery or from the local office of the Natural

Resources Conservation Service; the Ohio

Department of Natural Resource, Division of Forestry;

or the Cooperative Extension Service.

Landscaping

In the urban areas of Hancock County, specifically

Findlay and Fostoria, the soils have been disturbed by

excavation and construction and landscaping is

possible only if special measures are taken to prepare

the soil material for the plants. The soils closest to

structures are most likely to be radically altered. This

is especially true in detailed soil map units that

include a soil and Urban land and in miscellaneous

land areas, such as Aquents or Udorthents. Plants

generally will grow well unless the physical and

chemical properties of the soil have been severely

altered. During construction, as many of the existing

trees as possible should be left on building sites.
174 Soil Survey

Homeowners should consult personnel from local

nurseries, horticulturists, landscape designers, or

extension agents for species that are suitable for

planting. The following factors should be considered

before plants for landscaping are selected:

Shade.—In areas where a soil is mapped in a

complex with Urban land, the soil may be in shade

much of the day because of the high density of

buildings. Plants in these areas grow poorly unless

they are shade tolerant. The patterns of shade should

be observed in these areas before the specimens are

selected for planting.

Wetness.—Some plants do not thrive in wet soils,

such as those in the Alvada and Pewamo series.

Installing a subsurface drainage system helps to

overcome the wetness if the soil is permeable enough

for excess water to move through the disturbed soil

and into the drain line. Raising the plant beds by

adding suitable soil material helps to provide a

satisfactory root zone. Some soils in the lower

landscape positions are subject to ponding by runoff

from adjacent slopes. Diverting the runoff helps to

overcome the hazard of ponding. Overcoming

wetness in urban areas is sometimes difficult,

however, because property line restrictions limit the

alternatives.

Restricted root zone.—In some soils, the root zone

is restricted by bedrock or a dense soil layer and the

soil generally does not hold enough water for plants

throughout the growing season. If Biglick, Fox, Milton,

and Oshtemo soils are severely graded during

construction, the underlying bedrock or sand and

gravel in the substratum may become exposed or is

within only a few inches of the surface. Most grading

operations around homesites result in a greater

degree of soil compaction than that in natural soils.

The soils that have a root-restricting layer near the

surface are also susceptible to frost action during

periods of freezing and thawing. If sloping, these soils

may contribute sediment and surface runoff or seep

water to driveways and walks, causing wet, messy

conditions in warm weather and an ice hazard in

winter. Adding topsoil and mixing organic matter into

the surface layer of the soil increase the thickness of

the root zone. These practices also increase the

available water capacity of the soil.

Gardening

William Lanning, coordinator of the Hancock County Master

Gardener Program, helped to prepare this section.

The soils in this county are suited to many varieties

of flowers and vegetables. Many of these plants have

about the same soil requirements. This section

describes features of a good garden soil and the

features that restrict the use of some soils.

The most favorable soil for a garden is nearly level

or gently sloping, loamy, and permeable. It is

adequately aerated but has moderate or high

available water capacity. It generally should be slightly

acid or neutral (pH of 6.0 to 7.0). Many soils in

Hancock County, especially those associated with

building sites, have a moderate or low content of

organic matter in the surface layer. Additions of

organic matter from locally available sources, such as

compost or leaves, will benefit flowers and

vegetables, regardless of the kind of soil indicated by

the soil map.

Many soils in the urban areas of Hancock County

have been slightly or severely disturbed during the

construction process. Usually, the closer a garden site

is located to a building, the greater the possibility for

soil disturbance during the construction process.

The undisturbed or slightly disturbed soils that are

well suited to flower and vegetable gardens in

Hancock County are the nearly level or gently sloping,

well drained or moderately well drained, loamy soils.

The Cygnet, Fox, Houcktown, Shawtown, Thackery,

and Tuscola soils are examples.

The well drained and moderately well drained

Flatrock, Knoxdale, Medway, and Rossburg soils on

flood plains are subject to occasional periods of

flooding. This flooding, however, occurs mostly in

early spring, so most vegetables can be grown and

are not damaged by the flooding.

Most of the soils in Hancock County are very

poorly drained or somewhat poorly drained. On these

soils, wetness may delay planting by 2 to 4 weeks.

Examples are the Blount, Del Rey, Fulton, Hoytville,

Nappanee, Pewamo, and Toledo soils.

The surface layer of a few soils in the county also

has a high content of clay that may restrict good

seedbed preparation because of the poor tilth. This

can result in poor soil-seed contact and uneven

germination rates. Examples of these soils are those

in the Hoytville and Nappanee series, as well as the

eroded phases of Glynwood, Lucas, and Shinrock

soils. Addition of organic matter helps to improve tilth

and soil structure.

Recreation

Hancock County has more recreational

opportunities than many counties in the northwestern

part of Ohio. The extensive Hancock County Park

District, established in 1970, has a network of parks,

hiking and bicycle trails, and nature preserves

throughout the county. Many educational and other
Hancock County, Ohio 175

seasonal activities scheduled for the public are

available during the calendar year. In addition, Van

Buren State Park is open to the public for camping,

fishing, hiking, and other outdoor activities.

Findlay has several city parks and recreational

facilities available for use by the public. There are

10 village parks throughout the county. They provide

athletic fields, swimming pools, playground

equipment, and shelter houses. There are also many

public and private golf courses in the county.

Recreational areas are on a wide variety of soils.

Several of the county and village parks include areas

on flood plains; these areas are used for seasonal

outdoor activities.

The soils of the survey area are rated in tables 15

and 16 according to limitations that affect their

suitability for recreation. The ratings are both verbal

and numerical. Rating class terms indicate the extent

to which the soils are limited by all of the soil features

that affect the recreational uses. Not limited indicates

that the soil has features that are very favorable for

the specified use. Good performance and very low

maintenance can be expected. Somewhat limited

indicates that the soil has features that are

moderately favorable for the specified use. The

limitations can be overcome or minimized by special

planning, design, or installation. Fair performance and

moderate maintenance can be expected. Very limited

indicates that the soil has one or more features that

are unfavorable for the specified use. The limitations

generally cannot be overcome without major soil

reclamation, special design, or expensive installation

procedures. Poor performance and high maintenance

can be expected.

Numerical ratings in the tables indicate the severity

of individual limitations. The ratings are shown as

decimal fractions ranging from 0.01 to 1.00. They

indicate gradations between the point at which a soil

feature has the greatest negative impact on the use

(1.00) and the point at which the soil feature is not a

limitation (0.00).

The ratings in the tables are based on restrictive

soil features, such as wetness, slope, and texture of

the surface layer. Susceptibility to flooding is

considered. Not considered in the ratings, but

important in evaluating a site, are the location and

accessibility of the area, the size and shape of the

area and its scenic quality, vegetation, access to

water, potential water impoundment sites, and access

to public sewer lines. The capacity of the soil to

absorb septic tank effluent and the ability of the soil to

support vegetation also are important. Soils that are

subject to flooding are limited for recreational uses by

the duration and intensity of flooding and the season

when flooding occurs. In planning recreational

facilities, onsite assessment of the height, duration,

intensity, and frequency of flooding is essential.

The information in the tables can be supplemented

by other information in this survey, for example,

interpretations for building site development,

construction materials, sanitary facilities, and water

management.

Camp areas require site preparation, such as

shaping and leveling the tent and parking areas,

stabilizing roads and intensively used areas, and

installing sanitary facilities and utility lines. Camp

areas are subject to heavy foot traffic and some

vehicular traffic. The ratings are based on the soil

properties that affect the ease of developing camp

areas and the performance of the areas after

development. Slope, stoniness, and depth to bedrock

or a cemented pan are the main concerns affecting

the development of camp areas. The soil properties

that affect the performance of the areas after

development are those that influence trafficability and

promote the growth of vegetation, especially in

heavily used areas. For good trafficability, the surface

of camp areas should absorb rainfall readily, remain

firm under heavy foot traffic, and not be dusty when

dry. The soil properties that influence trafficability are

texture of the surface layer, depth to a water table,

ponding, flooding, permeability, and large stones. The

soil properties that affect the growth of plants are

depth to bedrock or a cemented pan, permeability,

and toxic substances in the soil.

Picnic areas are subject to heavy foot traffic. Most

vehicular traffic is confined to access roads and

parking areas. The ratings are based on the soil

properties that affect the ease of developing picnic

areas and that influence trafficability and the growth of

vegetation after development. Slope and stoniness

are the main concerns affecting the development of

picnic areas. For good trafficability, the surface of

picnic areas should absorb rainfall readily, remain firm

under heavy foot traffic, and not be dusty when dry.

The soil properties that influence trafficability are

texture of the surface layer, depth to a water table,

ponding, flooding, permeability, and large stones. The

soil properties that affect the growth of plants are

depth to bedrock or a cemented pan, permeability,

and toxic substances in the soil.

Playgrounds require soils that are nearly level, are

free of stones, and can withstand intensive foot traffic.

The ratings are based on the soil properties that

affect the ease of developing playgrounds and that

influence trafficability and the growth of vegetation

after development. Slope and stoniness are the main

concerns affecting the development of playgrounds.
176 Soil Survey

For good trafficability, the surface of the playgrounds

should absorb rainfall readily, remain firm under

heavy foot traffic, and not be dusty when dry. The soil

properties that influence trafficability are texture of the

surface layer, depth to a water table, ponding,

flooding, permeability, and large stones. The soil

properties that affect the growth of plants are depth to

bedrock or a cemented pan, permeability, and toxic

substances in the soil.

Paths and trails for hiking and horseback riding

should require little or no slope modification through

cutting and filling. The ratings are based on the soil

properties that affect trafficability and erodibility.

These properties are stoniness, depth to a water

table, ponding, flooding, slope, and texture of the

surface layer.

Golf fairways are subject to heavy foot traffic and

some light vehicular traffic. Cutting or filling may be

required. Irrigation is not considered in the ratings.

The ratings are based on the soil properties that

affect plant growth and trafficability after vegetation is

established. The properties that affect plant growth

are reaction; depth to a water table; ponding; depth to

bedrock or a cemented pan; the available water

capacity in the upper 40 inches; the content of salts,

sodium, or calcium carbonate; and sulfidic materials.

The properties that affect trafficability are flooding,

depth to a water table, ponding, slope, stoniness, and

the amount of sand, clay, or organic matter in the

surface layer. The suitability of the soil for traps, tees,

roughs, and greens is not considered in the ratings.

Wildlife Habitat

Jeff Burris, wildlife technician, Ohio Department of Natural

Resources, Division of Wildlife, helped to prepare this section.

The abundance and diversity of wildlife have

declined in the intensively farmed counties in

northwestern Ohio. As farming has become

mechanized and the acreage of corn and soybeans

has increased, there are fewer acres of diversified

crops, fence rows, and streambanks lined with woody

vegetation. This acreage provides good habitat for

wildlife. Fall plowing of cropland destroys the food and

cover needed by wildlife to survive the winter. Suitable

habitat is the single most important factor determining

the existence of a diverse wildlife population. The

types of wildlife habitat that occur in Hancock County

include wetland, grassland, woodland, cropland, and

riparian (fig. 8).

Wetland habitat offers shelter for migratory

waterfowl, shore birds, songbirds, amphibians,

reptiles, and mammals. Wetlands produce

invertebrates and plants that are important foods for

game and nongame species. They also act as filters

for pollution and as storage basins for floodwater and

help to control erosion.

Grassland habitat generally provides valuable

nesting cover. It also furnishes food in the form of

seed and succulent, green plant parts.

Woodland habitat in the county has been altered

by the conversion of woodland to cropland,

overgrazing in wooded areas, residential and

industrial development, and commercial timber

harvest. Forest land in the county consists of small

woodland “islands” and wooded corridors along

streams. These corridors and islands are surrounded

by large expanses of cropland.

Cropland habitat is seasonal and is therefore

transitory in nature. Cropland provides some food and

shelter for wildlife. Moldboard plowing reduces the

amount of quality habitat available for resident

species; however, more and more cropland is being

cultivated by the no-till method, which leaves crop

residue on the soil surface. This provides shelter and

some food for wildlife during the winter months. Fence

rows along field boundaries also provide shelter for

wildlife species. Marginal cropland that has been

converted to wildlife habitat under provisions of the

1985 Farm Bill has increased the amount of available

habitat for game and nongame species.

Stream corridors, or riparian habitat, consists of the

land and corresponding vegetation along the banks of

a watercourse. Riparian habitat is one of the richest

and most diverse habitat types in Hancock County.

Riparian buffer zones provide many important

benefits. They help to maintain the high quality of

water and to improve the habitat for a diverse

population of wildlife. The quality of water in streams

and rivers has declined because the natural

characteristics of the streams and rivers have been

altered. Tillage and drainage of the land combined

with the loss of forested buffer zones have caused

watercourses to become wider, shallower, and more

turbid.

If they are properly managed, all of the soils in

Hancock County can provide the habitat elements

needed for wildlife. Incorporating openland, wetland,

and woodland wildlife habitat principles into current

agricultural practices can increase the quantity and

quality of wildlife habitat in the county. Additional

information about the development of wildlife habitat

can be obtained from the local game protector and at

the local office of the Ohio State University Extension

or the Natural Resources Conservation Service.

Soils affect the kind and amount of vegetation that

is available to wildlife as food and cover. They also
Hancock County, Ohio 177

affect the construction of water impoundments. The

kind and abundance of wildlife depend largely on the

amount and distribution of food, cover, and water.

Wildlife habitat can be created or improved by

planting appropriate vegetation, by maintaining the

existing plant cover, or by promoting the natural

establishment of desirable plants.

In table 17, the soils in the survey area are rated

according to their potential for providing habitat for

various kinds of wildlife. This information can be used

in planning parks, wildlife refuges, nature study areas,

and other developments for wildlife; in selecting soils

that are suitable for establishing, improving, or

maintaining specific elements of wildlife habitat; and in

determining the intensity of management needed for

each element of the habitat.

The potential of the soil is rated good, fair, poor, or

very poor. A rating of good indicates that the element

or kind of habitat is easily established, improved, or

maintained. Few or no limitations affect management,

and satisfactory results can be expected. A rating of

fair indicates that the element or kind of habitat can

be established, improved, or maintained in most

places. Moderately intensive management is required

for satisfactory results. A rating of poor indicates that

limitations are severe for the designated element or

kind of habitat. Habitat can be created, improved, or

maintained in most places, but management is

difficult and must be intensive. A rating of very poor

indicates that restrictions for the element or kind of

habitat are very severe and that unsatisfactory results

can be expected. Creating, improving, or maintaining

habitat is impractical or impossible.

The elements of wildlife habitat are described in

the following paragraphs.

Grain and seed crops are domestic grains and

seed-producing herbaceous plants. Soil properties

and features that affect the growth of grain and seed

Figure 8.—Included in map units with Pewamo soils are undrained, wooded areas that provide habitat for wetland and woodland

wildlife species.
178 Soil Survey

crops are depth of the root zone, texture of the

surface layer, available water capacity, wetness,

slope, surface stoniness, and flooding. Soil

temperature and soil moisture also are

considerations. Examples of grain and seed crops are

corn, wheat, oats, and soybeans.

Grasses and legumes are domestic perennial

grasses and herbaceous legumes. Soil properties and

features that affect the growth of grasses and

legumes are depth of the root zone, texture of the

surface layer, available water capacity, wetness,

surface stoniness, flooding, and slope. Soil

temperature and soil moisture also are

considerations. Examples of grasses and legumes

are fescue, bromegrass, clover, and alfalfa.

Wild herbaceous plants are native or naturally

established grasses and forbs, including weeds. Soil

properties and features that affect the growth of these

plants are depth of the root zone, texture of the

surface layer, available water capacity, wetness,

surface stoniness, and flooding. Soil temperature and

soil moisture also are considerations. Examples of

wild herbaceous plants are Queen Anne’s lace,

goldenrod, common teasel, lambsquarters, and

yarrow.

Hardwood trees and woody understory produce

nuts or other fruit, buds, catkins, twigs, bark, and

foliage. Soil properties and features that affect the

growth of hardwood trees and shrubs are depth of the

root zone, available water capacity, and wetness.

Examples of these plants are oak, poplar, cherry,

sweetgum, apple, hawthorn, dogwood, hickory,

blackberry, and raspberry. Examples of fruit-producing

shrubs that are suitable for planting on soils rated

good are Russian-olive, autumn-olive, and crabapple.

Coniferous plants furnish browse and seeds. Soil

properties and features that affect the growth of

coniferous trees, shrubs, and ground cover are depth

of the root zone, available water capacity, and

wetness. Examples of coniferous plants are pine,

spruce, fir, cedar, and juniper.

Wetland plants are annual and perennial wild

herbaceous plants that grow on moist or wet sites.

Submerged or floating aquatic plants are excluded.

Soil properties and features affecting wetland plants

are texture of the surface layer, wetness, reaction,

salinity, slope, and surface stoniness. Examples of

wetland plants are smartweed, wild millet, cattail,

rushes, sedges, and reeds.

Shallow water areas have an average depth of less

than 5 feet. Some are naturally wet areas. Others are

created by dams, levees, or other water-control

structures. Soil properties and features affecting

shallow water areas are depth to bedrock, wetness,

surface stoniness, slope, and permeability. Examples

of shallow water areas are marshes, waterfowl

feeding areas, and ponds.

The habitat for various kinds of wildlife is described

in the following paragraphs.

Habitat for openland wildlife consists of cropland,

pasture, meadows, and areas that are overgrown with

grasses, herbs, shrubs, and vines. These areas

produce grain and seed crops, grasses and legumes,

and wild herbaceous plants. Wildlife attracted to these

areas include bobwhite quail, pheasant, meadowlark,

field sparrow, cottontail, and red fox.

Habitat for woodland wildlife consists of areas of

deciduous and/or coniferous plants and associated

grasses, legumes, and wild herbaceous plants.

Wildlife attracted to these areas include wild turkey,

ruffed grouse, woodcock, thrushes, woodpeckers,

squirrels, gray fox, raccoon, and deer.

Habitat for wetland wildlife consists of open,

marshy or swampy shallow water areas. Some of the

wildlife attracted to such areas are ducks, geese,

herons, shore birds, muskrat, and mink.

Hydric Soils

In this section, hydric soils are defined and

described and the hydric soils in the survey area are

listed.

The three essential characteristics of wetlands are

hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils, and wetland

hydrology (Cowardin and others 1979; U.S. Army

Corps of Engineers 1987; National Research Council

1995; Tiner 1985). Criteria for each of the

characteristics must be met for areas to be identified

as wetlands. Undrained hydric soils that have natural

vegetation should support a dominant population of

ecological wetland plant species. Hydric soils that

have been converted to other uses should be capable

of being restored to wetlands.

Hydric soils are defined by the National Technical

Committee for Hydric Soils (NTCHS) as soils that

formed under conditions of saturation, flooding, or

ponding long enough during the growing season to

develop anaerobic conditions in the upper part

(Federal Register 1994). These soils are either

saturated or inundated long enough during the

growing season to support the growth and

reproduction of hydrophytic vegetation.

The NTCHS definition identifies general soil

properties that are associated with wetness. In order

to determine whether a specific soil is a hydric soil or

nonhydric soil, however, more specific information,
Hancock County, Ohio 179

such as information about the depth and duration of

the water table, is needed. Thus, criteria that identify

those estimated soil properties unique to hydric soils

have been established (Federal Register 1995).

These criteria are used to identify a phase of a soil

series that normally is associated with wetlands. The

criteria used are selected estimated soil properties

that are described in “Soil Taxonomy” (Soil Survey

Staff 1999) and “Keys to Soil Taxonomy” (Soil Survey

Staff 1998) and in the “Soil Survey Manual” (Soil

Survey Division Staff 1993).

If soils are wet enough for a long enough period to

be considered hydric, they should exhibit certain

properties that can be easily observed in the field.

These visible properties are indicators of hydric soils.

The indicators used to make onsite determinations of

hydric soils in this survey area are specified in “Field

Indicators of Hydric Soils in the United States” (Hurt,

Whited, and Pringle 1998).

Hydric soils are identified by examining and

describing the soil to a depth of about 20 inches. This

depth may be greater if determination of an

appropriate indicator so requires. It is always

recommended that soils be excavated and described

to the depth necessary for an understanding of the

redoximorphic processes. Then, using the completed

soil descriptions, soil scientists can compare the soil

features required by each indicator and specify which

indicators have been matched with the conditions

observed in the soil. The soil can be identified as a

hydric soil if at least one of the approved indicators is

present.

The map units in table 18 meet the definition of

hydric soils and, in addition, have at least one of the

hydric soil indicators. This list can help in planning

land uses; however, onsite investigation is

recommended to determine the hydric soils on a

specific site (National Research Council 1995; Hurt,

Whited, and Pringle 1998).

Map units that are made up of hydric soils may

have small areas, or inclusions, of nonhydric soils in

the higher positions on the landform, and map

units made up of nonhydric soils may have

inclusions of hydric soils in the lower positions on

the landform.

The map units in table 19, in general, do not meet

the definition of hydric soils because they do not have

one of the hydric soil indicators. A portion of these

map units, however, may include hydric soils. Onsite

investigation is recommended to determine whether

hydric soils occur and the location of the included

hydric soils.

Engineering

This section provides information for planning land

uses related to urban development and to water

management. Soils are rated for various uses, and

the most limiting features are identified. Ratings are

given for building site development, sanitary facilities,

construction materials, and water management. The

ratings are based on observed performance of the

soils and on the estimated data and test data in the

“Soil Properties” section.

Information in this section is intended for land use

planning, for evaluating land use alternatives, and for

planning site investigations prior to design and

construction. The information, however, has

limitations. For example, estimates and other data

generally apply only to that part of the soil between

the surface and a depth of 5 to 7 feet. Because of the

map scale, small areas of different soils may be

included within the mapped areas of a specific soil.

The information is not site specific and does not

eliminate the need for onsite investigation of the soils

or for testing and analysis by personnel experienced

in the design and construction of engineering works.

Government ordinances and regulations that

restrict certain land uses or impose specific design

criteria were not considered in preparing the

information in this section. Local ordinances and

regulations should be considered in planning, in site

selection, and in design.

Soil properties, site features, and observed

performance were considered in determining the

ratings in this section. During the fieldwork for this soil

survey, determinations were made about particle-size

distribution, liquid limit, plasticity index, soil reaction,

depth to bedrock, hardness of bedrock within 5 to

7 feet of the surface, soil wetness, depth to a water

table, ponding, slope, likelihood of flooding, natural

soil structure aggregation, and soil density. Data were

collected about kinds of clay minerals, mineralogy of

the sand and silt fractions, and the kinds of adsorbed

cations. Estimates were made for erodibility,

permeability, corrosivity, shrink-swell potential,

available water capacity, and other behavioral

characteristics affecting engineering uses.

This information can be used to evaluate the

potential of areas for residential, commercial,

industrial, and recreational uses; make preliminary

estimates of construction conditions; evaluate

alternative routes for roads, streets, highways,

pipelines, and underground cables; evaluate

alternative sites for sanitary landfills, septic tank
180 Soil Survey

absorption fields, and sewage lagoons; plan detailed

onsite investigations of soils and geology; locate

potential sources of gravel, sand, earthfill, and topsoil;

plan drainage systems, irrigation systems, ponds,

terraces, and other structures for soil and water

conservation; and predict performance of proposed

small structures and pavements by comparing the

performance of existing similar structures on the

same or similar soils.

The information in the tables, along with the soil

maps, the soil descriptions, and other data provided

in this survey, can be used to make additional

interpretations.

Some of the terms used in this soil survey have a

special meaning in soil science and are defined in the

Glossary.

Building Site Development

Soil properties influence the development of

building sites, including the selection of the site, the

design of the structure, construction, performance

after construction, and maintenance. Tables 20 and

21 show the degree and kind of soil limitations that

affect dwellings with and without basements, small

commercial buildings, local roads and streets, shallow

excavations, and lawns and landscaping.

The ratings in the tables are both verbal and

numerical. Rating class terms indicate the extent to

which the soils are limited by all of the soil features

that affect building site development. Not limited

indicates that the soil has features that are very

favorable for the specified use. Good performance

and very low maintenance can be expected.

Somewhat limited indicates that the soil has features

that are moderately favorable for the specified use.

The limitations can be overcome or minimized by

special planning, design, or installation. Fair

performance and moderate maintenance can be

expected. Very limited indicates that the soil has one

or more features that are unfavorable for the specified

use. The limitations generally cannot be overcome

without major soil reclamation, special design, or

expensive installation procedures. Poor performance

and high maintenance can be expected.

Numerical ratings in the tables indicate the severity

of individual limitations. The ratings are shown as

decimal fractions ranging from 0.01 to 1.00. They

indicate gradations between the point at which a soil

feature has the greatest negative impact on the use

(1.00) and the point at which the soil feature is not a

limitation (0.00).

Dwellings are single-family houses of three stories

or less. For dwellings without basements, the

foundation is assumed to consist of spread footings of

reinforced concrete built on undisturbed soil at a

depth of 2 feet or at the depth of maximum frost

penetration, whichever is deeper. For dwellings with

basements, the foundation is assumed to consist of

spread footings of reinforced concrete built on

undisturbed soil at a depth of about 7 feet. The ratings

for dwellings are based on the soil properties that

affect the capacity of the soil to support a load without

movement and on the properties that affect

excavation and construction costs. The properties that

affect the load-supporting capacity include depth to a

water table, ponding, flooding, subsidence, linear

extensibility (shrink-swell potential), and

compressibility. Compressibility is inferred from the

Unified classification. The properties that affect the

ease and amount of excavation include depth to a

water table, ponding, flooding, slope, depth to

bedrock or a cemented pan, hardness of bedrock or a

cemented pan, and the amount and size of rock

fragments.

Small commercial buildings are structures that are

less than three stories high and do not have

basements. The foundation is assumed to consist of

spread footings of reinforced concrete built on

undisturbed soil at a depth of 2 feet or at the depth of

maximum frost penetration, whichever is deeper. The

ratings are based on the soil properties that affect the

capacity of the soil to support a load without

movement and on the properties that affect

excavation and construction costs. The properties that

affect the load-supporting capacity include depth to a

water table, ponding, flooding, subsidence, linear

extensibility (shrink-swell potential), and

compressibility (which is inferred from the Unified

classification). The properties that affect the ease and

amount of excavation include flooding, depth to a

water table, ponding, slope, depth to bedrock or a

cemented pan, hardness of bedrock or a cemented

pan, and the amount and size of rock fragments.

Local roads and streets have an all-weather

surface and carry automobile and light truck traffic all

year. They have a subgrade of cut or fill soil material;

a base of gravel, crushed rock, or soil material

stabilized by lime or cement; and a surface of flexible

material (asphalt), rigid material (concrete), or gravel

with a binder. The ratings are based on the soil

properties that affect the ease of excavation and

grading and the traffic-supporting capacity. The

properties that affect the ease of excavation and

grading are depth to bedrock or a cemented pan,

hardness of bedrock or a cemented pan, depth to a

water table, ponding, flooding, the amount of large

stones, and slope. The properties that affect the

traffic-supporting capacity are soil strength (as
Hancock County, Ohio 181

inferred from the AASHTO group index number),

subsidence, linear extensibility (shrink-swell

potential), the potential for frost action, depth to a

water table, and ponding.

Shallow excavations are trenches or holes dug to a

maximum depth of 5 or 6 feet for graves, utility lines,

open ditches, or other purposes. The ratings are

based on the soil properties that influence the ease of

digging and the resistance to sloughing. Depth to

bedrock or a cemented pan, hardness of bedrock or a

cemented pan, the amount of large stones, and

dense layers influence the ease of digging, filling, and

compacting. Depth to the seasonal high water table,

flooding, and ponding may restrict the period when

excavations can be made. Slope influences the ease

of using machinery. Soil texture, depth to the water

table, and linear extensibility (shrink-swell potential)

influence the resistance to sloughing. All soils,

especially when they are at or near saturation, have

the potential to slough, and cutbanks are susceptible

to caving. Care should always be taken when making

excavations.

Lawns and landscaping require soils on which turf

and ornamental trees and shrubs can be established

and maintained. Irrigation is not considered in the

ratings. The ratings are based on the soil properties

that affect plant growth and trafficability after

vegetation is established. The properties that affect

plant growth are reaction; depth to a water table;

ponding; depth to bedrock or a cemented pan; the

available water capacity in the upper 40 inches; the

content of salts, sodium, or calcium carbonate; and

sulfidic materials. The properties that affect

trafficability are flooding, depth to a water table,

ponding, slope, stoniness, and the amount of sand,

clay, or organic matter in the surface layer.

Sanitary Facilities

Tables 22 and 23 show the degree and kind of soil

limitations that affect septic tank absorption fields,

sewage lagoons, sanitary landfills, and daily cover for

landfill. The ratings are both verbal and numerical.

Rating class terms indicate the extent to which the

soils are limited by all of the soil features that affect

these uses. Not limited indicates that the soil has

features that are very favorable for the specified use.

Good performance and very low maintenance can be

expected. Somewhat limited indicates that the soil has

features that are moderately favorable for the

specified use. The limitations can be overcome or

minimized by special planning, design, or installation.

Fair performance and moderate maintenance can be

expected. Very limited indicates that the soil has one

or more features that are unfavorable for the specified

use. The limitations generally cannot be overcome

without major soil reclamation, special design, or

expensive installation procedures. Poor performance

and high maintenance can be expected.

Numerical ratings in the tables indicate the severity

of individual limitations. The ratings are shown as

decimal fractions ranging from 0.01 to 1.00. They

indicate gradations between the point at which a soil

feature has the greatest negative impact on the use

(1.00) and the point at which the soil feature is not a

limitation (0.00).

Septic tank absorption fields are areas in which

effluent from a septic tank is distributed into the soil

through subsurface tiles or perforated pipe. Only that

part of the soil between depths of 24 and 60 inches is

evaluated. The ratings are based on the soil

properties that affect absorption of the effluent,

construction and maintenance of the system, and

public health. Permeability, depth to a water table,

ponding, depth to bedrock or a cemented pan, and

flooding affect absorption of the effluent. Stones and

boulders, ice, and bedrock or a cemented pan

interfere with installation. Subsidence interferes with

installation and maintenance. Excessive slope may

cause lateral seepage and surfacing of the effluent in

downslope areas.

Some soils are underlain by loose sand and gravel

or fractured bedrock at a depth of less than 4 feet

below the distribution lines. In these soils the

absorption field may not adequately filter the effluent,

particularly when the system is new. As a result, the

ground water may become contaminated.

Sewage lagoons are shallow ponds constructed to

hold sewage while aerobic bacteria decompose the

solid and liquid wastes. Lagoons should have a nearly

level floor surrounded by cut slopes or embankments

of compacted soil. Nearly impervious soil material for

the lagoon floor and sides is required to minimize

seepage and contamination of ground water.

Considered in the ratings are slope, permeability,

depth to a water table, ponding, depth to bedrock or a

cemented pan, flooding, large stones, and content of

organic matter.

Soil permeability is a critical property affecting the

suitability for sewage lagoons. Most porous soils

eventually become sealed when they are used as

sites for sewage lagoons. Until sealing occurs,

however, the hazard of pollution is severe. Soils that

have a permeability rate of more than 2 inches per

hour are too porous for the proper functioning of

sewage lagoons. In these soils, seepage of the

effluent can result in contamination of the ground

water. Ground-water contamination is also a hazard if

fractured bedrock is within a depth of 40 inches, if the
182 Soil Survey

water table is high enough to raise the level of

sewage in the lagoon, or if floodwater overtops the

lagoon.

A high content of organic matter is detrimental to

proper functioning of the lagoon because it inhibits

aerobic activity. Slope, bedrock, and cemented pans

can cause construction problems, and large stones

can hinder compaction of the lagoon floor. If the

lagoon is to be uniformly deep throughout, the slope

must be gentle enough and the soil material must be

thick enough over bedrock or a cemented pan to

make land smoothing practical.

A trench sanitary landfill is an area where solid

waste is placed in successive layers in an excavated

trench. The waste is spread, compacted, and covered

daily with a thin layer of soil excavated at the site.

When the trench is full, a final cover of soil material at

least 2 feet thick is placed over the landfill. The ratings

in the table are based on the soil properties that affect

the risk of pollution, the ease of excavation,

trafficability, and revegetation. These properties

include permeability, depth to bedrock or a cemented

pan, depth to a water table, ponding, slope, flooding,

texture, stones and boulders, highly organic layers,

soil reaction, and content of salts and sodium. Unless

otherwise stated, the ratings apply only to that part of

the soil within a depth of about 6 feet. For deeper

trenches, onsite investigation may be needed.

Hard, nonrippable bedrock, creviced bedrock, or

highly permeable strata in or directly below the

proposed trench bottom can affect the ease of

excavation and the hazard of ground-water pollution.

Slope affects construction of the trenches and the

movement of surface water around the landfill. It also

affects the construction and performance of roads in

areas of the landfill.

Soil texture and consistence affect the ease with

which the trench is dug and the ease with which the

soil can be used as daily or final cover. They

determine the workability of the soil when dry and

when wet. Soils that are plastic and sticky when wet

are difficult to excavate, grade, or compact and are

difficult to place as a uniformly thick cover over a layer

of refuse.

The soil material used as the final cover for a

trench landfill should be suitable for plants. It should

not have excess sodium or salts and should not be

too acid. The surface layer generally has the best

workability, the highest content of organic matter, and

the best potential for plants. Material from the surface

layer should be stockpiled for use as the final cover.

In an area sanitary landfill, solid waste is placed in

successive layers on the surface of the soil. The

waste is spread, compacted, and covered daily with a

thin layer of soil from a source away from the site. A

final cover of soil material at least 2 feet thick is

placed over the completed landfill. The ratings in the

table are based on the soil properties that affect

trafficability and the risk of pollution. These properties

include flooding, permeability, depth to a water table,

ponding, slope, and depth to bedrock or a cemented

pan.

Flooding is a serious problem because it can result

in pollution in areas downstream from the landfill. If

permeability is too rapid or if fractured bedrock, a

fractured cemented pan, or the water table is close to

the surface, the leachate can contaminate the water

supply. Slope is a consideration because of the extra

grading required to maintain roads in the steeper

areas of the landfill. Also, leachate may flow along the

surface of the soils in the steeper areas and cause

difficult seepage problems.

Daily cover for landfill is the soil material that is

used to cover compacted solid waste in an area

sanitary landfill. The soil material is obtained offsite,

transported to the landfill, and spread over the waste.

The ratings in the table also apply to the final cover for

a landfill. They are based on the soil properties that

affect workability, the ease of digging, and the ease of

moving and spreading the material over the refuse

daily during wet and dry periods. These properties

include soil texture, depth to a water table, ponding,

rock fragments, slope, depth to bedrock or a

cemented pan, reaction, and content of salts, sodium,

or lime.

Loamy or silty soils that are free of large stones

and excess gravel are the best cover for a landfill.

Clayey soils may be sticky and difficult to spread;

sandy soils are subject to wind erosion.

Slope affects the ease of excavation and of moving

the cover material. Also, it can influence runoff,

erosion, and reclamation of the borrow area.

After soil material has been removed, the soil

material remaining in the borrow area must be thick

enough over bedrock, a cemented pan, or the water

table to permit revegetation. The soil material used as

the final cover for a landfill should be suitable for

plants. It should not have excess sodium, salts, or

lime and should not be too acid.

Construction Materials

Tables 24 and 25 give information about the soils

as potential sources of gravel, sand, topsoil, and

roadfill. Normal compaction, minor processing, and

other standard construction practices are assumed.

Sand and gravel are natural aggregates suitable for

commercial use with a minimum of processing. They

are used in many kinds of construction. Specifications
Hancock County, Ohio 183

for each use vary widely. In table 24, only the

likelihood of finding material in suitable quantity is

evaluated. The suitability of the material for specific

purposes is not evaluated, nor are factors that affect

excavation of the material. The properties used to

evaluate the soil as a source of sand or gravel are

gradation of grain sizes (as indicated by the Unified

classification of the soil), the thickness of suitable

material, and the content of rock fragments. If the

bottom layer of the soil contains sand or gravel, the

soil is considered a likely source regardless of

thickness. The assumption is that the sand or gravel

layer below the depth of observation exceeds the

minimum thickness.

The soils are rated good, fair, or poor as potential

sources of sand and gravel. A rating of good or fair

means that the source material is likely to be in or

below the soil. The thickest layer is the thickest layer

above the bottom layer. The bottom layer and the

thickest layer of the soils are assigned numerical

ratings. These ratings indicate the likelihood that the

layer is a source of sand or gravel. The number 0.00

indicates that the layer is an unlikely source. A

number between 0.00 and 1.00 indicates the degree

to which the layer is a likely source.

The soils are rated good, fair, or poor as potential

sources of roadfill and topsoil. The features that limit

the soils as sources of these materials are specified

in the tables. The numerical ratings given after the

specified features indicate the degree to which the

features limit the soils as sources of topsoil or roadfill.

The lower the number, the greater the limitation.

Roadfill is soil material that is excavated in one

place and used in road embankments in another

place. In this table, the soils are rated as a source of

roadfill for low embankments, generally less than 6

feet high and less exacting in design than higher

embankments.

The ratings are for the whole soil, from the surface

to a depth of about 5 feet. It is assumed that soil

layers will be mixed when the soil material is

excavated and spread.

The ratings are based on the amount of suitable

material and on soil properties that affect the ease of

excavation and the performance of the material after it

is in place. The thickness of the suitable material is a

major consideration. The ease of excavation is

affected by large stones, depth to a water table, and

slope. How well the soil performs in place after it has

been compacted and drained is determined by its

strength (as inferred from the AASHTO classification

of the soil) and linear extensibility (shrink-swell

potential).

Topsoil is used to cover an area so that vegetation

can be established and maintained. The upper

40 inches of a soil is evaluated for use as topsoil. Also

evaluated is the reclamation potential of the borrow

area. The ratings are based on the soil properties that

affect plant growth; the ease of excavating, loading,

and spreading the material; and reclamation of the

borrow area. Toxic substances, soil reaction, and the

properties that are inferred from soil texture, such as

available water capacity and fertility, affect plant

growth. The ease of excavating, loading, and

spreading is affected by rock fragments, slope, depth

to a water table, soil texture, and thickness of suitable

material. Reclamation of the borrow area is affected

by slope, depth to a water table, rock fragments,

depth to bedrock or a cemented pan, and toxic

material.

The surface layer of most soils is generally

preferred for topsoil because of its organic matter

content. Organic matter greatly increases the

absorption and retention of moisture and nutrients for

plant growth.

Water Management

Tables 26 and 27 give information on the soil

properties and site features that affect water

management. The degree and kind of soil limitations

are given for pond reservoir areas; embankments,

dikes, and levees; aquifer-fed excavated ponds;

grassed waterways and surface drains; terraces and

diversions; and drainage.

The ratings in the tables are both verbal and

numerical. Rating class terms indicate the extent to

which the soils are limited by all of the soil features

that affect the specified use. Not limited indicates that

the soil has features that are very favorable for the

specified use. Good performance and very low

maintenance can be expected. Slightly limited

indicates that the soil has features that are favorable

for the specified use. The limitations are minor and

can be easily overcome. Good performance and low

maintenance can be expected. Somewhat limited

indicates that the soil has features that are

moderately favorable for the specified use. The

limitations can be overcome or minimized by special

planning, design, or installation. Fair performance and

moderate maintenance can be expected. Very limited

indicates that the soil has one or more features that

are unfavorable for the specified use. The limitations

generally cannot be overcome without major soil

reclamation, special design, or expensive installation

procedures. Poor performance and high maintenance

can be expected.
184 Soil Survey

Numerical ratings in the tables indicate the severity

of individual limitations. The ratings are shown as

decimal fractions ranging from 0.01 to 1.00. They

indicate gradations between the point at which a soil

feature has the greatest negative impact on the use

(1.00) and the point at which the soil feature is not a

limitation (0.00).

Pond reservoir areas hold water behind a dam or

embankment (fig. 9). Soils best suited to this use have

low seepage potential in the upper 60 inches. The

seepage potential is determined by the permeability

of the soil and the depth to fractured bedrock or other

permeable material. Excessive slope can affect the

storage capacity of the reservoir area.

Embankments, dikes, and levees are raised

structures of soil material, generally less than 20 feet

high, constructed to impound water or to protect land

against overflow. In table 26, the soils are rated as a

source of material for embankment fill. The ratings

apply to the soil material below the surface layer to a

depth of about 5 feet. It is assumed that soil layers will

be uniformly mixed and compacted during

construction.

The ratings do not indicate the ability of the natural

soil to support an embankment. Soil properties to a

depth even greater than the height of the

embankment can affect performance and safety of the

embankment. Generally, deeper onsite investigation is

needed to determine these properties.

Soil material in embankments must be resistant to

seepage, piping, and erosion and have favorable

compaction characteristics. Unfavorable features

include less than 5 feet of suitable material and a high

content of stones or boulders, organic matter, or salts

or sodium. A high water table affects the amount of

usable material. It also affects trafficability.

Aquifer-fed excavated ponds are pits or dugouts

that extend to a ground-water aquifer or to a depth

below a permanent water table. Excluded are ponds

that are fed only by surface runoff and embankment

ponds that impound water 3 feet or more above the

original surface. Excavated ponds are affected by

Figure 9.—Glynwood soils are good sites for pond reservoirs.
Hancock County, Ohio 185

depth to a permanent water table, permeability of

the aquifer, and quality of the water as inferred

from the salinity of the soil. Depth to bedrock and

the content of large stones affect the ease of

excavation.

Grassed waterways and surface drains are natural

or constructed channels, generally broad and shallow,

that conduct surface water to outlets at a nonerosive

velocity. Large stones, wetness, slope, and depth to

bedrock or a cemented pan affect the construction of

grassed waterways. A hazard of wind erosion, low

available water capacity, restricted rooting depth,

restricted permeability, and toxic substances, such as

salts and sodium, adversely affect the growth and

maintenance of the grass after construction.

Terraces and diversions are embankments or a

combination of channels and ridges constructed

across a slope to control erosion and conserve

moisture by intercepting runoff. Slope, wetness, large

stones, and depth to bedrock or a cemented pan

affect the construction of terraces and diversions. A

restricted rooting depth, a severe hazard of wind

erosion or water erosion, an excessively coarse

texture, and restricted permeability adversely affect

maintenance.

Drainage is the removal of excess surface and

subsurface water from the soil. How easily and

effectively the soil is drained depends on the depth to

bedrock, a cemented pan, or other layers that affect

the rate of water movement; permeability; depth to a

high water table or depth of standing water if the soil

is subject to ponding; slope; susceptibility to flooding;

subsidence of organic layers; and the potential for

frost action. Excavating and grading and the stability

of ditchbanks are affected by depth to bedrock or a

cemented pan, large stones, slope, and the hazard of

cutbanks caving. The availability of drainage outlets is

not considered in the ratings.

187

Data relating to soil properties are collected during

the course of the soil survey.

Soil properties are ascertained by field examination

of the soils and by laboratory index testing of some

benchmark soils. Established standard procedures

are followed. During the survey, many shallow borings

are made and examined to identify and classify the

soils and to delineate them on the soil maps. Samples

are taken from some typical profiles and tested in the

laboratory to determine particle-size distribution,

plasticity, and compaction characteristics. These

results are on file at the School of Natural Resources,

The Ohio State University, in Columbus, Ohio; the

Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of

Soil and Water Conservation, in Columbus; and in the

state office of the Natural Resources Conservation

Service in Columbus.

Estimates of soil properties are based on field

examinations, on laboratory tests of samples from the

survey area, and on laboratory tests of samples of

similar soils in nearby areas. Tests verify field

observations, verify properties that cannot be

estimated accurately by field observation, and help to

characterize key soils.

The estimates of soil properties are shown in

tables. They include engineering index properties,

physical and chemical properties, and pertinent soil

and water features.

Engineering Index Properties

Table 28 gives the engineering classifications and

the range of index properties for the layers of each

soil in the survey area.

Depth to the upper and lower boundaries of each

layer is indicated.

Texture is given in the standard terms used by the

U.S. Department of Agriculture. These terms are

defined according to percentages of sand, silt, and

clay in the fraction of the soil that is less than 2

millimeters in diameter (fig. 10). “Loam,” for example,

is soil that is 7 to 27 percent clay, 28 to 50 percent silt,

and less than 52 percent sand. If the content of

particles coarser than sand is 15 percent or more, an

appropriate modifier is added, for example, “gravelly.”

Textural terms are defined in the Glossary.

Classification of the soils is determined according

to the Unified soil classification system (ASTM 2001)

and the system adopted by the American Association

of State Highway and Transportation Officials

(AASHTO 2000).

The Unified system classifies soils according to

properties that affect their use as construction

material. Soils are classified according to particle-size

distribution of the fraction less than 3 inches in

diameter and according to plasticity index, liquid limit,

and organic matter content. Sandy and gravelly soils

are identified as GW, GP, GM, GC, SW, SP, SM, and

SC; silty and clayey soils as ML, CL, OL, MH, CH, and

OH; and highly organic soils as PT. Soils exhibiting

engineering properties of two groups can have a dual

classification, for example, CL-ML.

The AASHTO system classifies soils according to

those properties that affect roadway construction and

maintenance. In this system, the fraction of a mineral

Soil Properties

Figure 10.—Percentages of clay, silt, and sand in the basic

USDA soil textural classes.
188 Soil Survey

soil that is less than 3 inches in diameter is classified

in one of seven groups from A-1 through A-7 on the

basis of particle-size distribution, liquid limit, and

plasticity index. Soils in group A-1 are coarse grained

and low in content of fines (silt and clay). At the other

extreme, soils in group A-7 are fine grained. Highly

organic soils are classified in group A-8 on the basis

of visual inspection.

If laboratory data are available, the A-1, A-2, and

A-7 groups are further classified as A-1-a, A-1-b,

A-2-4, A-2-5, A-2-6, A-2-7, A-7-5, or A-7-6. As an

additional refinement, the suitability of a soil as

subgrade material can be indicated by a group index

number. Group index numbers range from 0 for the

best subgrade material to 20 or higher for the poorest.

Rock fragments larger than 10 inches in diameter

and 3 to 10 inches in diameter are indicated as a

percentage of the total soil on a dry-weight basis. The

percentages are estimates determined mainly by

converting volume percentage in the field to weight

percentage.

Percentage (of soil particles) passing designated

sieves is the percentage of the soil fraction less than

3 inches in diameter based on an ovendry weight. The

sieves, numbers 4, 10, 40, and 200 (USA Standard

Series), have openings of 4.76, 2.00, 0.420, and

0.074 millimeters, respectively. Estimates are based

on laboratory tests of soils sampled in the survey area

and in nearby areas and on estimates made in the

field.

Liquid limit and plasticity index (Atterberg limits)

indicate the plasticity characteristics of a soil. The

estimates are based on test data from the survey

area or from nearby areas and on field examination.

The estimates of particle-size distribution, liquid

limit, and plasticity index are generally rounded to the

nearest 5 percent. Thus, if the ranges of gradation

and Atterberg limits extend a marginal amount (1 or

2 percentage points) across classification boundaries,

the classification in the marginal zone is generally

omitted in the table.

Physical Properties

Table 29 shows estimates of some physical

characteristics and features that affect soil behavior.

These estimates are given for the layers of each soil

in the survey area. The estimates are based on field

observations and on test data for these and similar

soils.

Depth to the upper and lower boundaries of each

layer is indicated.

Clay as a soil separate consists of mineral soil

particles that are less than 0.002 millimeter in

diameter. In table 29, the estimated clay content of

each soil layer is given as a percentage, by weight, of

the soil material that is less than 2 millimeters in

diameter.

The amount and kind of clay affect the fertility and

physical condition of the soil and the ability of the soil

to adsorb cations and to retain moisture. They

influence shrink-swell potential, permeability,

plasticity, the ease of soil dispersion, and other soil

properties. The amount and kind of clay in a soil also

affect tillage and earthmoving operations.

Moist bulk density is the weight of soil (ovendry)

per unit volume. Volume is measured when the soil is

at field moisture capacity, that is, the moisture content

at 1/3- or 1/10-bar (33kPa or 10kPa) moisture tension.

Weight is determined after the soil is dried at

105 degrees C. In the table, the estimated moist bulk

density of each soil horizon is expressed in grams per

cubic centimeter of soil material that is less than

2 millimeters in diameter. Bulk density data are used

to compute shrink-swell potential, available water

capacity, total pore space, and other soil properties.

The moist bulk density of a soil indicates the pore

space available for water and roots. Depending on soil

texture, a bulk density of more than 1.4 can restrict

water storage and root penetration. Moist bulk density

is influenced by texture, kind of clay, content of

organic matter, and soil structure.

Permeability (Ksat ) refers to the ability of a soil to

transmit water or air. The term “permeability,” as used

in soil surveys, indicates saturated hydraulic

conductivity (Ksat ). The estimates in the table indicate

the rate of water movement, in inches per hour, when

the soil is saturated. They are based on soil

characteristics observed in the field, particularly

structure, porosity, and texture. Permeability is

considered in the design of soil drainage systems and

septic tank absorption fields.

Available water capacity refers to the quantity of

water that the soil is capable of storing for use by

plants. The capacity for water storage is given in

inches of water per inch of soil for each soil layer. The

capacity varies, depending on soil properties that

affect retention of water. The most important

properties are the content of organic matter, soil

texture, bulk density, and soil structure. Available

water capacity is an important factor in the choice of

plants or crops to be grown and in the design and

management of irrigation systems. Available water

capacity is not an estimate of the quantity of water

actually available to plants at any given time.

Shrink-swell potential is the potential for volume

change in a soil with a loss or gain in moisture.

Volume change occurs mainly because of the
Hancock County, Ohio 189

interaction of clay minerals with water and varies

with the amount and type of clay minerals in the soil.

The size of the load on the soil and the magnitude of

the change in soil moisture content influence the

amount of swelling of soils in place. Laboratory

measurements of swelling of undisturbed clods were

made for many soils. For others, swelling was

estimated on the basis of the kind and amount of clay

minerals in the soil and on the basis of measurements

of similar soils.

If the shrink-swell potential is rated moderate to

very high, shrinking and swelling can cause damage

to buildings, roads, and other structures. Special

design is often needed.

Shrink-swell potential classes are based on the

change in length of an unconfined clod as moisture

content is increased from air-dry to field capacity. The

classes are low, a change of less than 3 percent;

moderate, 3 to 6 percent; high, more than 6 percent;

and very high, greater than 9 percent.

Erosion factors are shown in table 29 as the K

factor (Kw and Kf) and the T factor. Erosion factor K

indicates the susceptibility of a soil to sheet and rill

erosion by water. Factor K is one of six factors used in

the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) and the

Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) to

predict the average annual rate of soil loss by sheet

and rill erosion in tons per acre per year. The

estimates are based primarily on percentage of silt,

sand, and organic matter and on soil structure and

permeability. Values of K range from 0.02 to 0.69.

Other factors being equal, the higher the value, the

more susceptible the soil is to sheet and rill erosion

by water.

Erosion factor Kw indicates the erodibility of the

whole soil. The estimates are modified by the

presence of rock fragments.

Erosion factor Kf indicates the erodibility of the fineearth fraction, or the material less than 2 millimeters

in size.

Erosion factor T is an estimate of the maximum

average annual rate of soil erosion by wind or water

that can occur without affecting crop productivity over

a sustained period. The rate is in tons per acre per

year.

Wind erodibility groups are made up of soils that

have similar properties affecting their susceptibility to

wind erosion in cultivated areas. The soils assigned to

group 1 are the most susceptible to wind erosion, and

those assigned to group 8 are the least susceptible.

The groups are as follows:

1. Coarse sands, sands, fine sands, and very fine

sands.

2. Loamy coarse sands, loamy sands, loamy fine

sands, loamy very fine sands, ash material, and

sapric soil material.

3. Coarse sandy loams, sandy loams, fine sandy

loams, and very fine sandy loams.

4L. Calcareous loams, silt loams, clay loams, and

silty clay loams.

4. Clays, silty clays, noncalcareous clay loams,

and silty clay loams that are more than 35 percent

clay.

5. Noncalcareous loams and silt loams that are

less than 20 percent clay and sandy clay loams,

sandy clays, and hemic soil material.

6. Noncalcareous loams and silt loams that are

more than 20 percent clay and noncalcareous clay

loams that are less than 35 percent clay.

7. Silts, noncalcareous silty clay loams that are

less than 35 percent clay, and fibric soil material.

8. Soils that are not subject to wind erosion

because of coarse fragments on the surface or

because of surface wetness.

Chemical Properties

Table 30 shows estimates of some chemical

characteristics and features that affect soil behavior.

These estimates are given for the layers of each soil

in the survey area. The estimates are based on field

observations and on test data for these and similar

soils.

Depth to the upper and lower boundaries of each

layer is indicated.

Soil reaction is a measure of acidity or alkalinity.

The pH of each soil horizon is based on many field

tests. For many soils, values have been verified by

laboratory analyses. Soil reaction is important in

selecting crops and other plants, in evaluating soil

amendments for fertility and stabilization, and in

determining the risk of corrosion.

Organic matter is the plant and animal residue in

the soil at various stages of decomposition. In table

30, the estimated content of organic matter is

expressed as a percentage, by weight, of the soil

material that is less than 2 millimeters in diameter.

The content of organic matter in a soil can be

maintained by returning crop residue to the soil.

Organic matter has a positive effect on available

water capacity, water infiltration, soil organism activity,

and tilth. It is a source of nitrogen and other nutrients

for crops and soil organisms.

Cation-exchange capacity is the total amount of

extractable bases that can be held by the soil,

expressed in terms of milliquivalents per 100 grams of
190 Soil Survey

soil at neutrality (pH 7.0) or at some other stated pH

value. Soils having a low cation-exchange capacity

hold fewer cations and may require more frequent

applications of fertilizer than soils having a high

cation-exchange capacity. The ability to retain cations

reduces the hazard of ground-water pollution.

Calcium carbonate equivalent is the percent of

carbonates, by weight, in the fraction of the soil less

than 2 millimeters in size. The availability of plant

nutrients is influenced by the amount of carbonates in

the soil. Incorporating nitrogen fertilizer into

calcareous soils helps to prevent nitrite accumulation

and ammonium-N volatilization.

Soil Features

Table 31 gives estimates of various soil features.

The estimates are used in land use planning that

involves engineering considerations.

A restrictive layer is a nearly continuous layer that

has one or more physical, chemical, or thermal

properties that significantly impede the movement of

water and air through the soil or that restrict roots or

otherwise provide an unfavorable root environment.

Examples are bedrock, cemented layers, dense

layers, and frozen layers. Depth to top is the vertical

distance from the soil surface to the upper boundary

of the restrictive layer.

Potential for frost action is the likelihood of upward

or lateral expansion of the soil caused by the

formation of segregated ice lenses (frost heave) and

the subsequent collapse of the soil and loss of

strength on thawing. Frost action occurs when

moisture moves into the freezing zone of the soil.

Temperature, texture, density, permeability, content of

organic matter, and depth to the water table are the

most important factors considered in evaluating the

potential for frost action. It is assumed that the soil is

not insulated by vegetation or snow and is not

artificially drained. Silty and highly structured, clayey

soils that have a high water table in winter are the

most susceptible to frost action. Well drained, very

gravelly, or very sandy soils are the least susceptible.

Frost heave and low soil strength during thawing

cause damage to pavements and other rigid

structures.

Risk of corrosion pertains to potential soil-induced

electrochemical or chemical action that corrodes or

weakens uncoated steel or concrete. The rate of

corrosion of uncoated steel is related to such factors

as soil moisture, particle-size distribution, acidity, and

electrical conductivity of the soil. The rate of corrosion

of concrete is based mainly on the sulfate and sodium

content, texture, moisture content, and acidity of the

soil. Special site examination and design may be

needed if the combination of factors results in a

severe hazard of corrosion. The steel or concrete in

installations that intersect soil boundaries or soil

layers is more susceptible to corrosion than the steel

or concrete in installations that are entirely within one

kind of soil or within one soil layer.

For uncoated steel, the risk of corrosion, expressed

as low, moderate, or high, is based on soil drainage

class, total acidity, electrical resistivity near field

capacity, and electrical conductivity of the saturation

extract.

For concrete, the risk of corrosion also is

expressed as low, moderate, or high. It is based on

soil texture, acidity, and amount of sulfates in the

saturation extract.

Water Features

Table 32 gives estimates of various water features.

The estimates are used in land use planning that

involves engineering considerations.

Hydrologic soil groups are based on estimates of

runoff potential. Soils are assigned to one of four

groups according to the rate of water infiltration when

the soils are not protected by vegetation, are

thoroughly wet, and receive precipitation from longduration storms.

The four hydrologic soil groups are:

Group A. Soils having a high infiltration rate (low

runoff potential) when thoroughly wet. These consist

mainly of deep, well drained to excessively drained

sands or gravelly sands. These soils have a high rate

of water transmission.

Group B. Soils having a moderate infiltration rate

when thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of

moderately deep or deep, moderately well drained or

well drained soils that have moderately fine texture to

moderately coarse texture. These soils have a

moderate rate of water transmission.

Group C. Soils having a slow infiltration rate

when thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of soils

having a layer that impedes the downward movement

of water or soils of moderately fine texture or fine

texture. These soils have a slow rate of water

transmission.

Group D. Soils having a very slow infiltration rate

(high runoff potential) when thoroughly wet. These

consist chiefly of clays that have a high shrink-swell

potential, soils that have a high water table, soils that

have a claypan or clay layer at or near the surface,

and soils that are shallow over nearly impervious

material. These soils have a very slow rate of water

transmission.
Hancock County, Ohio 191

The months in the table indicate the portion of the

year in which the feature is most likely to be a

concern.

Water table refers to a saturated zone in the soil.

The table indicates, by month, depth to the top (upper

limit) and base (lower limit) of the saturated zone in

most years. Estimates of the upper and lower limits

are based mainly on observations of the water table

at selected sites and on evidence of a saturated zone,

namely grayish colors or mottles (redoximorphic

features) in the soil. Water table data in table 32

reflect drained conditions. A saturated zone that lasts

for less than a month is not considered a water table.

An apparent water table is a thick zone of free

water in the soil. It is indicated by the level at which

water stands in an uncased borehole after adequate

time is allowed for adjustment in the surrounding soil.

A perched water table is water standing above an

unsaturated zone. In places an upper, or perched,

water table is separated from a lower one by a dry

zone. An artesian water table is under hydrostatic

head, generally below an impermeable layer. When

this layer is penetrated, the water level rises in an

uncased borehole.

Ponding is standing water in a closed depression.

Unless a drainage system is installed, the water is

removed only by percolation, transpiration, or

evaporation. Table 32 indicates surface water depth

and the duration and frequency of ponding. Ponding

data in the table reflect drained conditions. Duration is

expressed as very brief if less than 2 days, brief if 2 to

7 days, long if 7 to 30 days, and very long if more than

30 days. Frequency is expressed as none, rare,

occasional, and frequent. None means that ponding is

not probable; rare that it is unlikely but possible under

unusual weather conditions (the chance of ponding is

nearly 0 percent to 5 percent in any year); occasional

that it occurs, on the average, once or less in 2 years

(the chance of ponding is 5 to 50 percent in any year);

and frequent that it occurs, on the average, more than

once in 2 years (the chance of ponding is more than

50 percent in any year).

Flooding is the temporary inundation of an area

caused by overflowing streams, by runoff from

adjacent slopes, or by tides. Water standing for short

periods after rainfall or snowmelt is not considered

flooding, and water standing in swamps and marshes

is considered ponding rather than flooding.

Duration and frequency are estimated. Duration is

expressed as extremely brief if 0.1 hour to 4 hours,

very brief if 4 hours to 2 days, brief if 2 to 7 days, long

if 7 to 30 days, and very long if more than 30 days.

Frequency is expressed as none, very rare, rare,

occasional, frequent, and very frequent. None means

that flooding is not probable; very rare that it is

very unlikely but possible under extremely unusual

weather conditions (the chance of flooding is less

than 1 percent in any year); rare that it is unlikely but

possible under unusual weather conditions (the

chance of flooding is 1 to 5 percent in any year);

occasional that it occurs infrequently under normal

weather conditions (the chance of flooding is 5 to

50 percent in any year); frequent that it is likely to

occur often under normal weather conditions (the

chance of flooding is more than 50 percent in any

year but is less than 50 percent in all months in any

year); and very frequent that it is likely to occur very

often under normal weather conditions (the chance of

flooding is more than 50 percent in all months of any

year).

The information is based on evidence in the soil

profile, namely thin strata of gravel, sand, silt, or clay

deposited by floodwater; irregular decrease in organic

matter content with increasing depth; and little or no

horizon development.

Also considered are local information about the

extent and levels of flooding and the relation of each

soil on the landscape to historic floods. Information on

the extent of flooding based on soil data is less

specific than that provided by detailed engineering

surveys that delineate flood-prone areas at specific

flood frequency levels.

Individual delineations of some map units in the

county are rarely flooded. These delineations are

identified under the “Minor Components” heading in

the individual map unit descriptions in the “Detailed

Soil Map Unit” section. When these areas are

identified in the map unit descriptions, local Federal

Emergency Management Agency flood plain maps

should be consulted to determine if the delineation

lies within the 100-year flood plain. For an example,

refer to the description of detailed soil map unit AkA

or AmA.

Physical and Chemical Analyses of

Selected Soils

The samples for chemical and physical analyses

were taken from representative sites of several of the

soils in the county. The chemical and physical

analyses for many of the soils in the county were

made by the Soil Characterization Laboratory, School

of Natural Resources, The Ohio State University, in

Columbus, Ohio. The laboratory procedures can be

obtained from the laboratory. The results of the

analyses are stored in a computerized data file at the
192

laboratory. The physical and chemical data obtained

from the samples include particle-size distribution,

reaction, organic matter content, calcium carbonate

content, and extractable cations.

These data were used in classifying and

correlating soils and in evaluating their behavior under

various land uses. Seven pedons were selected as

representative of the respective series and are

described in the section titled “Soil Series and Their

Morphology.” These series and their laboratory

identification numbers are Vaughnsville, HK-20;

Biglick, HK-34; Glynwood, HK-43; Aurand, HK-44;

Lamberjack, HK-45; Houcktown, HK-46; and

Mortimer, HK-47.

In addition to the data from Hancock County,

laboratory data are available from nearby or adjacent

counties that have many of the same soils. These

datasets and the data from Hancock County are on

file at the School of Natural Resources, The Ohio

State University, in Columbus, Ohio; the Ohio

Department of Natural Resources, Division of Soil

and Water Conservation, in Columbus; and the state

office of the Natural Resources Conservation Service

in Columbus.

Engineering Index Test Data

Engineering index test data are available for

several pedons from Hancock County. Additional

engineering index test data are also available from

several nearby counties that have many of the same

soils as Hancock County. The soils were analyzed for

engineering properties by the Soils and Foundation

Section of the Ohio Department of Transportation,

Division of Highways, Bureau of Testing, in Columbus,

Ohio. The laboratory procedures can be obtained

from the laboratory. The available test data are on file

at the MLRA Project Office in Findlay, Ohio; the

School of Natural Resources, The Ohio State

University, in Columbus, Ohio; the Ohio Department

of Natural Resources, Division of Soil and Water

Conservation, in Columbus; and the state office of the

Natural Resources Conservation Service in

Columbus.

The system of soil classification used by the

National Cooperative Soil Survey has six categories

(Soil Survey Staff 1998, 1999). Beginning with the

broadest, these categories are the order, suborder,

great group, subgroup, family, and series.

Classification is based on soil properties observed in

the field or inferred from those observations or from

laboratory measurements. Table 33 shows the

classification of the soils in the survey area. The

categories are defined in the following paragraphs.

ORDER. Twelve soil orders are recognized. The

differences among orders reflect the dominant soilforming processes and the degree of soil formation.

Each order is identified by a word ending in sol. An

example is Alfisol.

SUBORDER. Each order is divided into

suborders primarily on the basis of properties that

influence soil genesis and are important to plant

growth or properties that reflect the most important

variables within the orders. The last syllable in the

name of a suborder indicates the order. An example is

Udalf (Ud, meaning humid, plus alf, from Alfisol).

GREAT GROUP. Each suborder is divided into

great groups on the basis of close similarities in kind,

arrangement, and degree of development of

pedogenic horizons; soil moisture and temperature

regimes; type of saturation; and base status. Each

great group is identified by the name of a suborder

and by a prefix that indicates a property of the soil. An

example is Hapludalfs (Hapl, meaning minimal

horizonation, plus udalf, the suborder of the Alfisols

that has a udic moisture regime).

SUBGROUP. Each great group has a typic

subgroup. Other subgroups are intergrades or

extragrades. The typic subgroup is the central concept

of the great group; it is not necessarily the most

extensive. Intergrades are transitions to other orders,

suborders, or great groups. Extragrades have some

properties that are not representative of the great

group but do not indicate transitions to any other

taxonomic class. Each subgroup is identified by one

or more adjectives preceding the name of the great

group. The adjective Typic identifies the subgroup that

typifies the great group. An example is Typic

Hapludalfs.

FAMILY. Families are established within a

subgroup on the basis of physical and chemical

properties and other characteristics that affect

management. Generally, the properties are those of

horizons below plow depth where there is much

biological activity. Among the properties and

characteristics considered are particle size, mineral

content, soil temperature regime, soil depth, and

reaction. A family name consists of the name of a

subgroup preceded by terms that indicate soil

properties. An example is coarse-loamy, mixed, mesic

Typic Hapludalfs.

SERIES. The series consists of soils within a

family that have horizons similar in color, texture,

structure, reaction, consistence, mineral and chemical

composition, and arrangement in the profile.

Soil Series and Their Morphology

In this section, each soil series recognized in the

survey area is described. Characteristics of the soil

and the material in which it formed are identified for

each series. A pedon, a small three-dimensional area

of soil, that is typical of the series in the survey area is

described. Pedons used in this publication were

primarily described and documented as part of the

Hancock County modernization process. In certain

circumstances, pedons from adjacent survey areas or

from the site of the official series description (OSD)

were utilized. In most cases, typical pedons from

adjacent survey areas were used to provide

consistent supporting data and documentation across

survey area boundaries. In the remaining cases, the

typical pedon from the site of the OSD was used in

order to transition toward the use of OSDs as part of

a nationwide trend in soil survey publications. The

detailed description of each soil horizon follows

standards in the “Soil Survey Manual” (Soil Survey

Division Staff 1993). Many of the technical terms used

in the descriptions are defined in “Soil Taxonomy”

(Soil Survey Staff 1975) and in “Keys to Soil

Taxonomy” (Soil Survey Staff 1994). Unless otherwise

indicated, colors in the descriptions are for moist soil.

Following the pedon description is the range of

important characteristics of the soils in the series.

The Joliet soils in Hancock County have an argillic

horizon, or Bt horizon, that is not typical for the series.

In addition, they have more sand and less clay in the

Cg horizon than is typical. They classify as loamy,

mixed, mesic Lithic Argiaquolls and are taxadjuncts to

the Joliet series. These differences, however, do not

significantly affect the use and management of the

soils.

This section describes the major factors of soil

formation and relates them to the soils in Hancock

County. Also, it describes some of the processes of

soil formation.

Factors of Soil Formation

Soil is a three-dimensional natural body capable of

supporting plant growth. The nature of the soil at a

specific site is the result of the interaction of many

factors and processes. The major factors of soil

formation are parent material, climate, living

organisms, relief, and time.

Parent Material

The material in which a soil forms is called parent

material. Most of the parent material in Hancock

County was deposited by the last glacier that covered

the area thousands of years ago or by meltwater from

this glacier. Other parent material includes older

dolostone or limestone bedrock, more recent alluvium

deposited by modern streams, and organic material

derived from decaying plants.

Most of the till in the county was deposited directly

beneath glacial ice with little action by water. The till

contains a variety of particles, ranging in size from

clay to large stones. Most of the pebbles are angular

or subangular, indicating little water action. Although

most of the material in the till is of local origin, some

igneous stones were carried from parts of Canada.

The till at the soil surface was deposited during the

Wisconsinan glaciation.

The till plains in Hancock County are either ground

moraines, end moraines, or disintegration moraines.

The till plain deposits are massive and compact. They

are silty clay loam or clay loam. Variations in the

content of clay and sand appear to be related to

readvances of the glacier into local glaciolacustrine

deposits. Blount, Glynwood, Lybrand, Morley,

Mortimer, and Pewamo soils formed in till.

Some of the till in the county was subject to

modification by water action during various stages of

lake formation during and after the Wisconsinan

glaciation. Water-modified till primarily occupies the

surficial deposits in the northern and west-central

parts of the county. It is the parent material of the

Hoytville and Nappanee soils.

Loamy and sandy sediments were deposited by

water or wave action, either along old lake shorelines

or as longshore bars. The loamy Arkport, Cygnet, Fox,

Oshtemo, Rimer, and Shawtown soils formed in

sandy, gravelly, or sandy and gravelly beach deposits

on terraces along old shorelines.

Meltwater deposits were laid down by water from

the melting glacier. Gravel and sand were deposited

in rapidly moving, sloping streams. Alvada, Fox,

Lamberjack, Thackery, and Westland soils formed in

loamy material and the underlying sandy and

gravelly deposits on stream terraces and in outwash

areas. As the streams lost gradient or stream velocity,

the finer sand and silt particles were deposited as

deltas and bars and in local lake basins. Colwood,

Darroch, Jenera, Patton, Rensselaer, Tiderishi,

Tuscola, and Vanlue soils formed in sandy, loamy,

and silty sediments. Where the streams flowed into

local lakes, the finer particles settled out of the still

water.

Clayey glaciolacustrine deposits are of limited

extent in Hancock County. They were deposited in a

large basin known as Glacial Lake Maumee, which

held meltwater from the retreating glacier and water

from precipitation. Del Rey, Fulton, Lucas, Shinrock,

and Toledo soils formed in clayey sediments in the

basins of former glacial lakes.

Dolostone or limestone is the parent material of the

Biglick, Channahon, Joliet, Millsdale, Milton, and

Randolph soils. This limestone has a very high

calcium carbonate equivalent, but it is not violently

effervescent because of the dolomitic nature of the

limestone.

Alluvium is the parent material of the soils on flood

plains. These materials accumulate when fresh

sediments are added by stream overflow. The

composition of the deposits varies widely, depending

on the stream gradient and the source of the

sediment. Alluvial deposits are stratified because

deposition occurs in three basic stages. Gravel and

stones are deposited on the streambed; sand is

deposited as bars along meandering inner banks; and

sand, silt, and clay are deposited on the flood plain

Formation of the Soils

during flooding. Flatrock, Harrod, Knoxdale,

Medway, Rossburg, Shoals, and Sloan soils formed

in alluvium.

The upper part of the Adrian soils formed in

decayed plant material that accumulated in marshes.

The permanently wet conditions in the marshes

slowed decomposition and thus allowed the organic

material to accumulate.

Climate

The climate in Hancock County is uniform enough

that it has not greatly contributed to differences

among the soils. Climate has favored physical change

and chemical weathering of the parent material and

the activity of living organisms.

The amount of precipitation varies as a result of

microclimate. Runoff on steep slopes reduces the

amount of effective precipitation and drainage into

depressions increases it. Rainfall has been adequate

to leach from the upper part of the subsoil any

carbonates that were in the parent material of some

of the soils on uplands and terraces. Wetting and

drying cycles have resulted in the translocation of clay

minerals and the formation of soil structure.

The range in temperature has favored both

physical change and chemical weathering of the

parent material. Freezing and thawing aid the

formation of soil structure. Warm temperatures in

summer favor chemical reactions in the weathering of

the primary minerals. Rainfall and temperatures have

been conducive to plant growth and to the

accumulation of organic matter in all of the soils.

Living Organisms

The vegetation under which a soil forms influences

soil properties, such as soil color, structure, reaction,

and the content and distribution of organic matter. The

surface layer of soils that formed under trees is

generally lighter in color than the surface layer of soils

that formed under grass. Grasses generally return

more organic matter to the soil than trees. They also

provide shelter for many burrowing animals that alter

the structure and thickness of soil horizons.

Earthworms, burrowing insects, and small animals

are constantly mixing the soil, making it more porous

and adding organic residue. Bacteria, fungi, and other

micro-organisms contribute to the breakdown of

organic residue. Generally, fungi are more active in

acid soils and bacteria are more active in alkaline

soils.

Four native plant communities are recognized as

the original vegetation of Hancock County. The

dominant type is the beech forest community. Beech,

sugar maple, red oak, white ash, white oak, and

basswood were the common species (Gordon 1969).

This community was associated with Blount,

Glynwood, Lybrand, and Morley soils. The elm-ash

swamp forest consisted of American elm, black ash,

red maple, pin oak, swamp white oak, and hickory.

This community was associated with Colwood,

Hoytville, Mermill, Patton, Pewamo, Rensselaer, and

other very poorly drained soils. The mixed oak forest

consisted of many primary forest types but was

mainly white oak, black oak, and northern red oak.

This community was associated with the better

drained soils of Limestone Ridge, specifically Biglick,

Channahon, Glynwood, Milton, and Morley soils. The

marsh and fen plant communities were associated

with the very poorly drained Adrian and Gilford soils.

These communities consisted of a wide variety of

water-tolerant species. Shrubs were common in these

areas, but trees were rare (Gordon 1969).

Human activities also affect soil formation.

Examples of these activities are cultivating, seeding,

installing drainage systems, irrigating, and cutting and

filling. Accelerated erosion caused by clearing and

cultivating the more sloping soils, such as Glynwood,

Lucas, Morley, Mortimer, Shinrock, and St. Clair soils,

illustrates the impact of human activities on soil

formation. Loss of surface soil and compaction of the

subsoil affect runoff and plant growth. Large areas of

the Hoytville, Patton, and Pewamo soils have been

systematically drained by ditches and subsurface

drains. Drainage reduces the content of organic

matter and affects the processes of soil formation.

Adding lime or fertilizer also affects the long-term

development of the soil.

Relief

Relief, along with parent material, affects the

natural drainage of soils. It influences the amount of

runoff and the depth to the water table. Generally, the

steeper soils have better drainage than the nearly

level soils. If the extent of drainage differs, different

soils can form in the same parent material. For

example, both Glynwood and Pewamo soils formed in

till deposits. Glynwood soils are in higher positions on

the landscape than the Pewamo soils, and their water

table generally is not so close to the surface.

Glynwood soils are moderately well drained. Pewamo

soils are in low, level areas, and their water table is

near or above the surface. Pewano soils are very

poorly drained.

A drainage sequence, or soil catena, is a group of

soils that formed in the same parent material but differ

in the extent of natural drainage. For example, the well

drained Lybrand soils, the moderately well drained

Glynwood and Morley soils, the somewhat poorly
Hancock County, Ohio 269

drained Blount soils, and the very poorly drained

Pewamo soils make up a drainage sequence. All of

these soils formed in silty clay loam and clay loam

till.

Time

The length of time during which the parent material

has been exposed to the soil-forming processes

influences the nature of the soil that forms. The

youngest soils in Hancock County are those that

formed in recent stream deposits, such as Flatrock,

Knoxdale, and Rossburg soils. Younger soils have

horizons that are less well defined than those in the

older soils.

The glacial deposits in Hancock County are of

Wisconsinan age and are geologically young.

Nevertheless, sufficient time has elapsed for the

active forces of climate and plants and animals to

produce distinct horizons. In most of the soils,

carbonates have been leached, structure has

developed in the subsoil, and organic matter has

accumulated in the surface layer.

Processes of Soil Formation

Soil forms through complex, continuing processes.

These processes are grouped into four general

categories—addition, removal, transfer, and alteration.

To varying degrees, each of the four soil-forming

processes has affected all of the soils in Hancock

County.

The accumulation of organic matter in the

formation of mineral soils is an example of the

addition process. The addition of organic residue has

produced a dark surface layer. The upper part of the

parent material originally was not darker than the

lower part. The accumulation of organic matter has

been prominent in the formation of Adrian soils.

The loss of lime from the upper 2 to 4 feet of many

of the soils in Hancock County is an example of the

removal process. Although the parent material was

limy (calcareous), water percolating through the

soil has leached the lime from the upper part of the

soil.

Water is the carrier for most of the transfers that

have occurred in the formation of soils in Hancock

County. Clay has been transferred from the A and E

horizons to the B horizon in many of the soils. The A

and E horizons, especially the E horizon, have

become zones of eluviation, and the B horizon is a

zone of illuviation. Thin clay films are in pores and on

the faces of peds in the B horizon of some soils. The

presence of clay films is an important criterion in soil

classification. The removal of carbonates and the

transfer of clay have been prominent in the formation

of Glynwood and Shinrock soils.

The reduction and dissolution of ferrous iron is an

alteration process. This process has taken place in

the very poorly drained soils and, to a lesser extent, in

the somewhat poorly drained and moderately well

drained soils. Reduction of iron, or gleying, is evident

in the very poorly drained Colwood, Hoytville, and

Pewamo soils. It is the result of a recurring water

table. Gray soil colors indicate gleying. Reduced iron

is soluble; however, the iron in the soils in Hancock

County commonly has remained in the horizon where

it originated or has settled in an underlying horizon.

Iron can be reoxidized and segregated in places to

form yellowish brown redoximorphic concentrations

that are brighter than the surrounding soil. The

alteration of iron causes mottling in soils that are not

well drained.

material per cubic foot. In agronomy, usually

associated with machinery traffic across the soil

during farming operations.

Complex, soil. A map unit of two or more kinds of soil

or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate

pattern or so small in area that it is not practical to

map them separately at the selected scale of

manganese oxide are generally considered a type

of redoximorphic concentration.

Conservation cropping system. Growing crops in

combination with needed cultural and

management practices. In a good conservation
Hancock County, Ohio 275

cropping system, the soil-improving crops and

practices more than offset the effects of the soildepleting crops and practices. Cropping systems

are needed on all tilled soils. Soil-improving

practices in a conservation cropping system

include the use of rotations that contain grasses

and legumes and the return of crop residue to the

soil. Other practices include the use of green

manure crops of grasses and legumes, proper

the living branches and their foliage.

Deferred grazing. Postponing grazing or resting

grazing land for a prescribed period.

Dense material. A very firm, massive, noncemented,

root-restrictive layer (commonly till) that has no

can enter is 10 centimeters or more. The

materials within the survey area typically have a

bulk density of more than 1.8 grams per cubic

centimeter.

characterized by chaotic mounds and pits,

generally randomly oriented, developed in drift by

collapse and flow as the underlying stagnant

glacial ice melted. There are used and unused

stream courses and lake depressions

interspersed with morainic ridges. Consequently,

there will be rapid or abrupt changes between

materials of different lithology.

Dolostone. A term used for the sedimentary rock

dolomite in order to avoid confusion with the

mineral of the same name. A carbonate

sedimentary rock consisting mostly (more than

50 percent by weight) of the mineral dolomite

[CaMg(CO3

)2].

Drainage class (natural). Refers to the frequency and

duration of wet periods under conditions similar to

those under which the soil formed. Alterations of

the water regime by human activities, either

through drainage or irrigation, are not a

consideration unless they have significantly

changed the morphology of the soil. Seven

classes of natural soil drainage are recognized—

excessively drained, somewhat excessively

drained, well drained, moderately well drained,

somewhat poorly drained, poorly drained, and

very poorly drained. These classes are defined in

the “Soil Survey Manual.”

Drainage, surface. Runoff, or surface flow of water,

from an area.

along which water moves in draining an area. A

term restricted to relatively small, linear

depressions that at some time move concentrated

water and either do not have a defined channel or

have only a small defined channel.

Drift. Pulverized and other rock material transported

by glacial ice and then deposited. Also, the sorted

and unsorted material deposited by streams

flowing from glaciers.
276 Soil Survey

Ecological site. An area where climate, soil, and

relief are sufficiently uniform to produce a distinct

perched water table in a soil in which saturated

layers are underlain by one or more unsaturated

layers within 2 meters of the surface.

than geologic erosion, mainly as a result of

human or animal activities or of a catastrophe in

nature, such as a fire, that exposes the surface.

Escarpment. A relatively continuous cliff or relatively

steep slope, generally produced by erosion or

faulting, breaking the general continuity of more

gently sloping land surfaces. Exposed

capacity, normal moisture capacity, or capillary

capacity.

produced by soil-forming processes. In the

identification of soil horizons, an uppercase letter

represents the major horizons. Numbers or

lowercase letters that follow represent

mineral soil are as follows:

O horizon.—An organic layer of fresh and

decaying plant residue.

A horizon.—The mineral horizon at or near the

surface in which an accumulation of humified

organic matter is mixed with the mineral material.

Also, a plowed surface horizon, most of which

was originally part of a B horizon.

E horizon.—The mineral horizon in which the

main feature is loss of silicate clay, iron,

aluminum, or some combination of these.

B horizon.—The mineral horizon below an A

horizon. The B horizon is in part a layer of

transition from the overlying A to the underlying

C horizon. The B horizon also has distinctive

characteristics, such as (1) accumulation of clay,

sesquioxides, humus, or a combination of these;

(2) prismatic or blocky structure; (3) redder or

browner colors than those in the A horizon; or

(4) a combination of these.

C horizon.—The mineral horizon or layer,

excluding indurated bedrock, that is little affected

by soil-forming processes and does not have the

properties typical of the overlying soil material.

The material of a C horizon may be either like or

unlike that in which the solum formed. If the

material is known to differ from that in the solum,

an Arabic numeral, commonly a 2, precedes the

letter C.

R layer.—Consolidated bedrock beneath the

soil. The bedrock commonly underlies a

C horizon, but it can be directly below an A or

a B horizon.

Humus. The well decomposed, more or less stable

part of the organic matter in mineral soils.

Hydrologic soil groups. Refers to soils grouped

according to their runoff potential. The soil

properties that influence this potential are those

that affect the minimum rate of water infiltration on

a bare soil during periods after prolonged wetting

when the soil is not frozen. These properties are

depth to a seasonal high water table, the

infiltration rate and permeability after prolonged

wetting, and depth to a very slowly permeable

layer. The slope and the kind of plant cover are

immediate surface of soil or other material, as

contrasted with percolation, which is movement of

water through soil layers or material.

floor of an extinct lake filled in either by well

sorted stratified sediments or by the reworking of

existing sediments as a result of water action.

thick. A lamella contains an accumulation of

oriented silicate clay on or bridging sand and silt

habitation are disposed. These products can be

above or below natural ground level.

carbonate. There are many impure varieties.

Linear extensibility. Refers to the change in length of

an unconfined clod as moisture content is

decreased from a moist to a dry state. Linear

potential of soils. It is an expression of the volume

change between the water content of the clod at

1

/3- or 1/10-bar tension (33kPa or 10kPa tension)

and oven dryness. Volume change is influenced

by the amount and type of clay minerals in the

soil. The volume change is the percent change for

the whole soil. If it is expressed as a fraction, the

resulting value is COLE, coefficient of linear

extensibility.

of iron oxide or manganese oxide generally are

considered a type of redoximorphic

concentration.

Perennial water. A natural or constructed lake, pool,

pit, or stream course that contains water for most

of the year.

Permeability. The quality of the soil that enables

water or air to move downward through the profile.

The rate at which a saturated soil transmits water

over a wide range in size or diameter. Such soil

normally can be easily increased in density and

bearing properties by compaction. Contrasts with

poorly graded soil.

Wet spot. An area of soil that is somewhat poorly

drained to very poorly drained and that is at least

two drainage classes wetter than the named soils

in the surrounding map unit.

Wilting point (or permanent wilting point). The

moisture content of soil, on an ovendry basis, at

which a plant (specifically a sunflower) wilts so

much that it does not recover when placed in a

humid, dark chamber.

Windthrow. The uprooting and tipping over of trees

by the wind.

 * A growing degree day is a unit of heat available for plant growth. It can be calculated by adding

the maximum and minimum daily temperatures, dividing the sum by 2, and subtracting the temperature below

which growth is minimal for the principal crops in the area (50 degrees F).

(The information in this table indicates the dominant soil condition but

 does not eliminate the need for onsite investigation. The numbers

 in the value columns range from 0.01 to 1.00. The larger the value,

 the greater the potential limitation. See text for further

Table 24.--Construction Materials (Part 1)

(The information in this table indicates the dominant soil condition but

 does not eliminate the need for onsite investigation. The numbers

 in the value columns range from 0.00 to 0.99. The greater the

 value, the greater the likelihood that the bottom layer or thickest

 layer of the soil is a source of sand or gravel. See text for

 further explanation of ratings in this table.)
