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

Additional information about the Nation’s natural resources is available on the

Natural Resources Conservation Service home page on the World Wide Web. The

address is http://www.nrcs.usda.gov.

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 1992. Soil names and

descriptions were approved in 1998. Unless otherwise indicated, statements in this

publication refer to conditions in the survey area in 1992. 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; and the

Guernsey County Commissioners. The survey is part of the technical assistance

furnished to the Guernsey Soil and Water Conservation District. Financial assistance

was provided by the Guernsey County Commissioners.

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.

GUERNSEY COUNTY is in east-central Ohio (fig. 1). It

has an area of 338,170 acres, or about 529 square

miles. The population of the county was 39,024 in

1990 (U.S. Department of Commerce 1991). The

population of Cambridge, which is the county seat,

was 11,748, and that of Byesville was 2,415. Other

towns in the county generally had populations of

less than 500.

Manufacturing and farming are the major industries

in the county. The major agricultural areas are on flood

plains and terraces in the larger valleys and on wide,

gently sloping ridgetops. Much of the rest of the land in

the county is wooded.

Flooding and wetness are the major management

concerns affecting farmland and development in areas

on flood plains and stream terraces. Many of the soils

in these areas can be drained and used for agriculture.

Erosion, slope, hillside slippage, a high shrink-swell

potential, a moderate depth to bedrock, and slow

permeability are the major management concerns in

the uplands.

This soil survey updates a report published in 1944

about the condition of the land in Guernsey and

Muskingum Counties (Whiteford, Paschal, and Sease

1944). It provides additional information and has larger

maps, which are on a photographic background and

show the soils in greater detail.

General Nature of the County

This section provides general information about the

county. It describes climate; history; physiography,

relief, and drainage; geology; natural resources;

farming and other land uses; and transportation

facilities in the county.

Climate

Table 1 gives data on temperature and precipitation

for the survey area as recorded at Cambridge, Ohio, in

the period 1951 to 1988.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 30 degrees F

and the average daily minimum temperature is 21

degrees. The lowest temperature on record, which

occurred on January 21, 1984, is -20 degrees. In

summer, the average temperature is 71 degrees and

the average daily maximum temperature is 84

degrees. The highest recorded temperature, which

occurred on July 16, 1988, is 102 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 total annual precipitation is about 39 inches. Of

this, about 22 inches, or nearly 60 percent, usually

falls in April through September. The growing season

for most crops falls within this period. In 2 years out of

10, the rainfall in April through September is less than

18 inches. The heaviest 1-day rainfall during the period

of record was 5.5 inches on August 11, 1980.

Thunderstorms occur on about 41 days each year,

and most occur in summer.

The average seasonal snowfall is about 23 inches.

The greatest snow depth at any one time during the

period of record was 21 inches. On the average,

24 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 60 percent. Humidity is higher at night, and the

average at dawn is about 80 percent. The sun shines

60 percent of the time possible in summer and

40 percent in winter. The prevailing wind is from the

south. Average windspeed is highest, 11 miles per

hour, in spring.

History

The first settlers in Guernsey County were probably

the Mound Builders, a tribe of prehistoric Indians. It

may have been quite a while after the Mound Builders

left before the more recent Native Americans arrived.

These Native Americans were from the Delaware,

Shawnee, Mingo, and Seneca tribes (Somerset

Publishers 1982).

The first settler of European descent built a cabin in

the county in 1798. In that same year, the Zane Trace,

which was the first road cut into the wilderness in

Ohio, was being cleared. Most of the land in the

county had been surveyed by 1798 (Wolfe 1943).

Cambridge was laid out in 1806, and Guernsey

County was established in 1810 (Cyrus 1911). By

1826, the Zane Trace had become the National Road.

The population of the county had greatly increased by

that time. Cambridge eventually became a relatively

large manufacturing town. Salt making was a

widespread business along with agricultural and

milling operations.

In the late 1800s, oil and gas were discovered in the

county and coal was being mined on a large scale.

The availability of these energy sources provided for

the manufacture of glass, pottery, and steel (Cyrus

1911).

Today, Interstate 70 and U.S. Highway 40 closely

follow the path of the National Road. Cambridge still

has a few small glass factories and quite a few

manufacturers of miscellaneous goods.

Physiography, Relief, and Drainage

Guernsey County lies in the Central and Western

Allegheny Plateau areas (USDA 1981). It is

extensively dissected by drainageways and is

characterized by moderately steep to very steep

hillsides and relatively narrow valleys that were

produced by stream erosion. Local relief generally

ranges from 300 to 400 feet. The northwestern part of

the county is the most rugged. Ridgetops and valleys

are narrow, and side slopes are steep and very steep.

The highest point in the county is 1,310 feet above

sea level. It is north of Quaker City, in Millwood

Township. The lowest point is about 770 feet above

sea level. It is in the area where Wills Creek leaves the

county, northwest of Birds Run.

The Illinoian and Wisconsinan glaciers advanced to

within 50 miles north and west of the area that is now

Guernsey County. There are no glacial outwash

deposits in the county, however, because the major

streams that were channels for glacial meltwater did

not pass through the county. The glaciers, however,

did dam streams that drained Guernsey County,

forming lakes in stream valleys. Lacustrine sediments

accumulated in these valleys. Soils on terraces on

sides of these valleys formed in the lacustrine

sediments.

Almost all of the county is within the Muskingum

River watershed. Most of the creeks and rivers in the

county drain into Wills Creek, a tributary of the

Muskingum River. Skull Fork, in the northeast corner

of the county, is a tributary of Stillwater Creek, which

drains into the Muskingum River by way of the

Tuscarawas River. A small area of southeastern

Spencer Township drains into Duck Creek, which flows

into the Ohio River.

Geology

The bedrock of Guernsey County is predominantly

sedimentary rocks of the Pennsylvanian System.

Rocks from the Upper Pottsville, Conemaugh,

Allegheny, and Lower Monongahela Formations have

been found in the county. The general dip of the strata

in the county is to the southeast, at an average of 20

feet per mile. The Cambridge Arch is a prominent

structure in the county. It is characterized as a broad,

irregularly shaped arch with a crest varying in width

from 25 to 30 miles. The axis of the arch extends

roughly from Newport in Washington County to

Cleveland.

The Conemaugh Formation is widely exposed

throughout the county. Rocks at the surface in the

east-central and south-central parts of the county are

almost entirely Conemaugh in age. Typical locations of

Conemaugh exposures in the county are in the Old

Washington, Cambridge, and Pleasant City areas. The

Conemaugh Formation consists of shales, thick layers

of sandstones, thin layers of marine deposits, and

deposits of Anderson coal and Pittsburgh (No. 8) coal.

The thickness of the formation ranges from 314 to 527

feet, with an average thickness of 475 feet.

The Allegheny and Pottsville Formations are

exposed on the lower slopes of valleys in the

northwestern part of the county. These formations

consist of shales, sandstones, clays, limestones, and

coal. The coal units in these formations are the Upper

Freeport (No. 7), Middle Kittanning (No. 6), and Lower

Kittanning (No. 5). The thickness of the Allegheny

Formation ranges from 188 to 290 feet, with an

average thickness of 223 feet.

The lower beds of the Monongahela Formation

make up less extensive areas of bedrock in the county.

They are exposed in the eastern and southwestern

parts of the county (Brandt and DeLong 1960;

DeBrosse 1957).

Natural Resources

Every area in the county has been developed for oil

and gas production. Oil and gas wells are drilled

primarily in the Clinton Formation.

Coal production has decreased from what it was in

the early part of the 20th century, but some surface

mines still are operating. The coal units mined are the

Anderson, Pittsburgh (No. 8), Upper Freeport (No. 7),

Middle Kittanning (No. 6), and Lower Kittanning (No.

5).

Farming and Other Land Uses

In 1990, there were 910 farms in the county and

about 42 percent of the total acreage was used as

farmland (Ohio Agricultural Statistics Service 1991). In

1980, about 10 percent of the land in Guernsey

County was used as cropland, 20 percent as pasture,

and 50 percent as woodland (U.S. Department of

Commerce 1991). The remaining 20 percent was

used for other purposes, including development of the

land.

The main source of farm income in the county is the

sale of livestock and livestock products, mainly beef

and dairy products and, to a lesser extent, sheep and

hogs. The most important crops are corn, hay, and

oats. There are some greenhouses and nurseries in

the county, as well as a few Christmas tree farms.

Large areas of steep land are managed as

woodland; for hunting or other recreational activities; or

for a combination of both. About 7,000 acres in the

county is unreclaimed surface mined land used for

hunting by the public. Another 5,000 acres is either

reclaimed surface mined land or land that is currently

being surface mined. Upon completion of reclamation

activities, reclaimed areas are used for hay or the

acreage is idle land.

Recreational areas in the county include Salt Fork

State Park, which is Ohio’s largest state park, and

Senecaville Lake. Hunting, fishing, boating, swimming,

camping, golfing, and horseback riding are

recreational activities available at Salt Fork State Park.

There are also two more golf courses in the county.

Cambridge City Park offers a variety of sports and

recreational activities, as well as the annual Salt Fork

Arts and Crafts Festival. The Guernsey County Fair is

held in Old Washington.

Transportation Facilities

Two major interstate highways have an interchange

in Cambridge. I-70 goes east to Baltimore and west to

Utah. I-77 goes north to Cleveland and south to

Columbia, South Carolina. State highways provide

easy access to most of the county.

A railroad runs east from Zanesville to Cambridge,

where it splits. One line goes east to Gibson and the

other south through Cumberland.

Cambridge Municipal Airport is located between

Cambridge and Byesville.

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 in the survey area are in an orderly

pattern that is related to the geology, landforms, relief,

climate, and natural vegetation of the area. Each kind

of soil is associated with a particular kind of landform

or with a segment of the landform. By observing the

soils 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 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 soilvegetation-landscape relationship, are sufficient to

verify predictions of the kinds of soil in an area and to

determine the boundaries.

Miscellaneous areas, such as urban land and pits,

are identified by aerial photo interpretation. They are in

places where the naturally occurring soils have been

altered by human activities. Soil scientists make field

observations to confirm photo interpretations and

adjust boundary lines to show recent changes in the

extent of the miscellaneous areas.

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
Guernsey County, Ohio 17

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.

Survey Procedures

The general procedures followed in making this

survey are described in the “National Soil Survey

Handbook” (Soil Survey Staff 1996) of the Natural

Resources Conservation Service and the “Soil Survey

Manual” (Soil Survey Division Staff 1993). The soil

maps made for conservation planning on individual

farms prior to the start of the project soil survey also

were used as references.

Before the actual fieldwork began, preliminary

boundaries of slopes and landforms were plotted

stereoscopically on aerial photographs that were taken

in 1982 at a scale of 1:38,000 and enlarged to a scale

of 1:15,840. U.S. Geological Survey topographic maps,

at a scale of 1:15,840, were used to relate land and

image features.

A reconnaissance was made by vehicle before the

soil scientists traversed the surface on foot, examining

the soils. In some areas, such as in the Mentor-NolinGlenford association where land use is intensive and

the soil pattern is complex, traverses were as close as

100 yards. In very steep areas, such as in the

Hazleton-Gilpin-Dekalb association and other areas

where land use is less intensive, traverses were about

an eighth of a mile apart.

As the traversed the surface, the soil scientists

divided the landscape into segments based on the

landform and position of the soils on the landform. For

example, a hillside would be separated from a terrace

or footslope, or a gently sloping ridgetop would be

separated from a strongly sloping side slope. In most

areas soil examinations along the traverses were

made at points 50 to 100 yards apart, depending upon

the landscape and soil pattern (Miller, McCormack,

and Talbot 1979).

Observations of such items as landforms, blowndown trees, vegetation, roadbanks, bedrock highwalls

in surface mined areas, and animal burrows were

made continuously without regard to spacing. Soil

boundaries were determined on the basis of soil

examinations, observations, and photo interpretation.

With the aid of a hand auger, soil sampling tube, or

spade, the soil material was examined to a depth of

about 4 feet. Deeper soils were examined to a depth of

8 feet or more with the aid of a truck-mounted,

hydraulic soil coring rig. The pedons described as

typical were observed and studied in pits that were

dug with backhoes, shovels, spades, and spud bars.

Soil mapping was recorded on mylars of film

positives of the 1982 photobase maps. Surface

drainage was mapped in the field. Cultural features

were recorded from observations of the maps and the

landscape.

At the beginning of the survey, sample areas were

selected to represent the major landscapes in the

county. These areas were then mapped. Extensive

notes were taken on the composition of map units in

these preliminary study areas. These preliminary

notes were modified as mapping progressed, and a

final assessment of the composition of the individual

map units was made. Transects were made to

determine the composition of soil complexes.

Samples for chemical and physical analyses and for

engineering properties were taken from representative

sites of several of the soils in the survey area. The

chemical and physical analyses were made by the Soil

Characterization Laboratory, Department of

Agronomy, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio.

The results of the analyses are stored in a

computerized data file at the laboratory. The analyses

for engineering properties were made by the Ohio

Department of Transportation, Division of Highways,

Bureau of Testing, Soils and Foundation Section,

Columbus, Ohio. The laboratory procedures can be

obtained by request from the respective laboratories.

The results of laboratory analyses can be obtained

from the Department of Natural Resources, The Ohio

State University, Columbus, Ohio; the Ohio

Department of Natural Resources, Division of Soil and

Water Conservation, State Office, Columbus, Ohio;

and the Natural Resources Conservation Service,

State Office, Columbus, Ohio.

The general soil map in this publication shows the

soil associations in this survey area. Each association

has a distinctive pattern of soils, relief, and drainage.

Each is 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 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 “included” areas that belong to other taxonomic

classes.

Most included 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, inclusions. They may

or may not be mentioned in the map unit description.

Other included soils and miscellaneous areas,

however, have properties and behavioral

characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to

require different management. These are called

contrasting, or dissimilar, inclusions. 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 included areas of contrasting soils or

miscellaneous areas are mentioned in the map unit

descriptions. A few included areas 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 included areas 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.

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, Gilpin

silt loam, 8 to 15 percent slopes, is a phase of the

Gilpin series.

Some map units are made up of two or more major

soils or miscellaneous areas.

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 similar

in all areas. Guernsey-Upshur complex, 15 to

25 percent slopes, is an example.

Detailed Soil Map Units
26 Soil Survey

This survey includes miscellaneous areas. Such

areas have little or no soil material and support little or

no vegetation. Urban land 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.

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; and for 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 in some of the tables. The groups

for each map unit also are shown under the heading

“Interpretive Groups,” which follows the tables at the

back of this survey.

Crops and Pasture

Steve Hibinger, district conservationist, Natural Resources

Conservation Service, helped prepare this section.

General management needed for crops and pasture

is suggested in this section. The estimated yields of

the main crops and pasture plants are listed, 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.

In 1990, about 143,000 acres, or 42 percent of the

total acreage in Guernsey County, was used as

farmland. This acreage included about 40,300 acres of

cropland, of which 5,500 acres was used for corn,

33,700 acres for hay, and 1,100 acres for oats (Ohio

Agricultural Statistics Service 1991).

The paragraphs that follow describe the main

concerns in managing the cropland and pasture in the

county. These concerns are water erosion, soil

drainage, droughtiness, soil fertility, and tilth.

Water erosion is the major management concern

on most of the cropland and some of the pasture in

Guernsey County because it can result in the removal

of the surface layer of soils. The surface layer has

received most of the residue from the native and

cultivated plants that have grown on the soil in the

past. As a result of the addition of this residue, the

surface layer is darker and has a higher organic matter

content than the rest of the soil. Because of its higher

organic matter content, the surface layer is capable of

storing and releasing more available water and plant

nutrients than other layers of the soil; therefore, loss of

the surface layer considerably reduces the nutrientsupplying capacity of the soil.

The subsoil of the Aaron, Elba, and Guernsey soils

and of many other soils in the county has a higher clay

Use and Management of the Soils
102 Soil Survey

content than the surface layer. If the surface layer is

eroded, the plow layer contains a considerable amount

of the more clayey subsoil material. As a result, tillage

is difficult, tilth is poor, and a seedbed cannot be easily

prepared.

Erosion also reduces the depth to root-restricting

layers, thus reducing the volume of soil available for

root development. The growth of roots is restricted by

a fragipan in the Clarksburg, Omulga, and Zanesville

soils and by the bedrock underlying the moderately

deep Berks, Gilpin, and Dekalb soils.

Measures that help to control erosion also help to

maintain the productive capacity of the soil. These

measures include conservation tillage systems,

contour farming, contour stripcropping, a cropping

sequence that includes forage crops, crop residue

management, and grassed waterways.

No-till farming or another system of conservation

tillage that leaves crop residue on the surface is

effective in controlling erosion on most of the soils in

the county. These systems help to control erosion by

reducing the amount of soil exposed to the impact of

raindrops and the flow of runoff. They are suitable on

both smooth and irregular slopes. In areas of some of

the wetter soils, such as those in the Fitchville series,

a good drainage system is needed if conservation

tillage is to be effective. Contour farming, contour

stripcropping, and grassed waterways can be used in

conjunction with a conservation tillage system to

further reduce the susceptibility of the soils to erosion.

Contour farming, or tilling across the slope,

generally is quite effective in reducing the hazard of

erosion in gently sloping areas where slope ranges

from 2 to 8 percent. The gently sloping Wellston and

Zanesville soils, which commonly have uniform slopes,

generally can be easily tilled across the slope;

however, the gently sloping Claysville soils generally

cannot be uniformly tilled across the slope because

they are on short, irregular slopes that are not

conducive to contour farming.

Contour stripcropping has been used extensively in

the county for many years, mainly on soils that have

rather uniform slopes ranging from 2 to 25 percent. It

is used in many areas of the gently sloping to

moderately steep Gilpin, Lowell, and Westmoreland

soils, which commonly are on smooth, uniform slopes.

It is not practical in areas where slopes are short and

irregular, such as in many areas of the sloping and

moderately steep Brookside and Vandalia soils.

Management of crop residue and a crop rotation

that includes forage crops are equally applicable to

smooth, irregular slopes. Returning crop residue to the

soil helps to control erosion by reducing the impact of

raindrops on the surface. Close-growing forage crops

help to control erosion by reducing the runoff rate. The

applicability of forage as an erosion-control measure

depends to a large extent on the type of farming

enterprise that is involved.

Grassed waterways can be established in low areas

where runoff tends to collect and flow, especially if the

areas are elongated. Gullies can form in these areas if

water flows rapidly across a bare surface. Establishing

grassed waterways in these gullies helps to control

erosion. A subsurface drainage system can carry off

the normal flow of runoff in these areas, and grassed

waterways help to collect and remove any excess

surface water. In addition to preventing the formation

of gullies, the grassed waterways help to prevent

flooding and overwashing of crops.

Erosion is also a hazard in pastured areas of the

county. Many permanent pastures are in moderately

steep or steep areas where runoff is very rapid. The

key to erosion control in pastured areas is maintaining

a thick cover of sod. Overgrazing damages this cover

and thus increases soil loss. Applying fertilizer and

lime and mowing to control weeds tend to increase the

density of the stand and thus help to control erosion.

Many of the pastures in Guernsey County are on

slopes that can be used occasionally for cultivated

crops. Special care is needed to prevent excessive

erosion when these slopes are cultivated. No-till

methods of pasture seeding permit resodding with a

minimum of soil loss.

Soil drainage is a significant management problem

on some soils in Guernsey County. Most plant roots do

not grow well without oxygen. Very little oxygen is

available in soils that are saturated with water. Wet

soils remain cold in spring. They warm up earlier if

excess water is removed. Wetness also limits the use

of farm machinery. Livestock compact wet, soft soils,

damaging pasture plants.

Areas used for alfalfa or for small grain crops in

winter require a better surface and subsurface

drainage system than is needed in areas used for corn

or soybeans. Very few soybeans are grown in the

county. Late-planted soybeans are grown in some

areas that are not drained adequately for most other

crops. Most of the soils on terraces and flood plains

are suited to soybeans.

Many of the naturally wet soils are highly productive

when adequately drained. Their natural wetness has

reduced or prevented the oxidation of organic matter

and the leaching of carbonates. As a result, these soils

are higher in natural fertility than the better drained

soils nearby.

Each soil series in the county is assigned to a

drainage class; for example, Wellston soils are well

drained, Fitchville soils are somewhat poorly drained,
Guernsey County, Ohio 103

and Zipp soils are very poorly drained. The drainage

classes are based on the depth to and duration of the

seasonal high water table during the wettest part of

the year, generally late winter or early spring. The

classes are determined by the depth to the water table

under natural conditions and do not relate to the

adequacy of a drainage system.

Many of the soils in Guernsey County are

permeable enough to be adequately drained by

properly designed and installed subsurface drainage

systems if good outlets are available. In some areas,

however, suitable outlets are not available. In these

areas open ditches are generally constructed to

provide outlets. Measures that maintain the ditches

are needed. Management of drainage systems may

require special permits and extra planning to ensure

compliance with regulations involving wetlands.

Droughtiness is not a major management concern

in areas used as cropland in the county. The more

droughty soils are those in the Berks, Dekalb,

Barkcamp, Bethesda, Fairpoint, Morristown, and

Enoch series. Except for the Berks and Dekalb soils,

these droughty soils generally are not used as

cropland. Occasional shortages of available moisture

occur in many soils. The shortages are most common

in soils that have a limited depth to bedrock, such as

the Dekalb and Gilpin soils, or in soils that have a

fragipan, such as the Clarksburg, Omulga, and

Zanesville soils. Many of the more droughty soils are

well suited to no-till or other systems of conservation

tillage that leave crop residue on the surface. The crop

residue conserves moisture for crop use. Some soils

can be productive if they are irrigated.

The effects of drought are more evident in pastures

than in cultivated fields. In most of the pastured areas,

grasses on moderately steep or steep, south-facing

slopes grow very slowly during the dry part of the

summer. Their growth rates can be increased in areas

of these soils by renovating the pasture and planting

drought-tolerant species, such as alfalfa and

orchardgrass.

Soil fertility is affected by the content of plant

nutrients, lime, and organic matter in the soil.

Measures that maintain fertility are needed on all of

the soils in the county, regardless of other problems.

The productivity of a soil depends on the soil’s natural

fertility, past use and management, and long-term

fertility history. These factors differ widely from farm to

farm, even on the same soil. A regular program of soil

testing is needed to determine the amount and kind of

fertilizer to be applied.

The amount and kind of fertilizer to be applied can

differ widely among soil types. Soils that have a high

content of clay and of organic matter, such as the

Claysville soils, have a high capacity to store and

release plant nutrients, whereas soils that have a low

content of clay and a moderately low content of

organic matter, such as the Dekalb and Berks soils,

have a low capacity. If the soils are very acid, much of

the phosphate fertilizer applied combines with iron and

aluminum and is not available to plants. Earthworms,

which incorporate plant residue into soils, are more

active if soil reaction is nearly neutral. Their activity

results in better soil structure and a higher content of

organic matter.

Additions of organic material are very beneficial on

most of the soils in the county. Organic matter, which

is a very good source of nitrogen, improves soil

structure and tilth. It also has the capacity to store and

release plant nutrients. As a result, additions of

organic matter improve the ability of the soils to

provide nutrients to crops. These additions are

especially effective in restoring the productivity of soils

in severely eroded spots.

Tilth is an important factor affecting the germination

of seeds and the infiltration of water into soil. Soils that

have good tilth are granular and porous.

Most of the soils used as cropland in Guernsey

County have a surface layer of silt loam that has a

moderate or moderately low content of organic matter.

The content of clay in this layer is about 20 to 25

percent and that of sand is about 15 to 25 percent.

The clay does not cause excessive stickiness, but

because of the high content of silt and relatively weak

structure, a crust forms on the surface after periods of

heavy rainfall. This crust, which is hard when dry,

reduces the rate of water infiltration, increases the

runoff rate, and hinders the emergence of seedlings.

The soils in the county are not suited to plowing in

the fall because of the increased susceptibility to

crusting and erosion. Leaving crop residue on the

surface helps to prevent excessive crusting. Regular

additions of crop residue, manure, and other organic

material also reduce the susceptibility of the soils to

crusting and improve soil structure.

Soils that have a high content of clay in the surface

layer, such as Elba and Upshur silty clay loams, are

sticky when wet. If these soils are worked when they

are too wet, soil particles stick together and form into

clods. The surface layer of eroded soils is more

susceptible to clodding than that of uneroded soils

because it has a slightly higher content of clay.

Additions of organic material help to maintain or

improve tilth.

Cropland Limitations and Hazards

The management concerns affecting the use of the

detailed soil map units in the survey area for crops are
104 Soil Survey

shown in table 5.The main concerns affecting the

management of cropland are controlling erosion,

removing excess water, minimizing surface crusting

and compaction, conserving moisture, and maintaining

soil tilth, organic matter content, and fertility.

Generally, a combination of several practices is

needed to control erosion. Conservation tillage,

stripcropping, field windbreaks, tall grass barriers,

contour farming, conservation cropping systems, crop

residue management, diversions, and grassed

waterways help to prevent excessive soil loss.

Surface or subsurface drainage systems, or both,

are used to remove excess water, lower the seasonal

high water table, and minimize ponding.

A surface crust forms in tilled areas after hard rains

and may inhibit seedling emergence. Regular

additions of crop residue, manure, or other organic

materials improve soil structure and minimize crusting.

Tilling within the proper range in moisture content

minimizes surface compaction.

Conserving moisture consists primarily of reducing

the evaporation and runoff rates and increasing the

rate of water infiltration. Applying conservation tillage

and conservation cropping systems, farming on the

contour, stripcropping, establishing field windbreaks,

and leaving crop residue on the surface conserve

moisture.

Measures that are effective in maintaining soil tilth,

organic matter content, and fertility 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

crops respond well to applications of fertilizer.

Some of the limitations and hazards shown in the

table cannot be easily overcome. These are flooding,

depth to rock, limited rooting depth, slope, and limited

organic matter content.

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.

Depth to rock.—Rooting depth and available

moisture may be limited by rock within a depth of

40 inches.

Limited rooting depth.—Reclaimed soils in stripmined areas have dense layers in the subsoil that

restrict root penetration. The soils are best suited to

shallow-rooted crops.

Slope.—Unless conservation farming practices are

applied, water erosion may be accelerated in areas

where the slope is more than 15 percent. The

selection of crops and the use of equipment are

limited. Cultivation may be restricted.

Limited organic matter content.—Many soils that

have a light colored surface layer have a low or

moderately low organic matter content and weak or

moderate structure. Regularly adding crop residue,

manure, and other organic material to the soil helps to

maintain or improve the content of organic matter and

soil structure.

Additional limitations and hazards are as follows:

Excessive permeability.—This limitation causes

deep leaching of nutrients and pesticides. The

capacity of the soil to retain moisture for plant use is

poor. Crops generally respond better to smaller, more

frequent applications of fertilizer and lime than to one

large application.

Potential for ground-water pollution.—The pollution

of ground water is a hazard in areas of soils that are

excessively permeable or have hard bedrock, a

fragipan, or a water table within the profile.

Limited available water capacity, poor or fair tilth,

restricted permeability, 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.

Part of original surface layer removed by erosion.—

More than 25 percent of the original surface layer has

been removed by erosion. In cultivated areas the

existing surface layer consists of a mixture of the

original surface layer and part of the subsurface layer

or subsoil.

Wind erosion.—Sandy windblown material from the

soil surface can damage young plants.

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

Easily eroded.—Some soils are more susceptible to

erosion, as shown by their high K value. When these

soils are used for crop production, they can be quickly

degraded through loss of topsoil.

Seasonal high water table.—The choice of crops

may be limited and the stand and vigor of crop species

may be reduced by the seasonal high water table,

especially if it is at a depth of less than 40 inches. The

seasonal high water table can also have an adverse

effect on pesticide and herbicide movement in the soil,

leading to possible ground-water contamination.

Surface compaction.—If the surface of the soil is

compacted, pore space is decreased, which reduces

the infiltration rate, permeability, and the extent of the

soil surface area available for cation exchange. As a
Guernsey County, Ohio 105

result, seed germination and seedling vigor may be

reduced.

Yields per Acre

The average yields per acre that can be expected

of the principal crops under a high level of

management are shown in table 6. In any given year,

yields may be higher or lower than those indicated in

the table because of variations in rainfall and other

climatic factors. The land capability classification of

map units in the survey area also is shown in the

table.

The yields are based mainly on the experience and

records of farmers, conservationists, and extension

agents. Available yield data from nearby counties and

results of field trials and demonstrations also are

considered.

The management needed to obtain the indicated

yields of the various crops depends on the kind of soil

and the crop. Management can include drainage,

erosion control, and protection from flooding; the

proper planting and seeding rates; suitable highyielding crop varieties; appropriate and timely tillage;

control of weeds, plant diseases, and harmful insects;

favorable soil reaction and optimum levels of nitrogen,

phosphorus, potassium, and trace elements for each

crop; effective use of crop residue, barnyard manure,

and green manure crops; and harvesting that ensures

the smallest possible loss.

The estimated yields reflect the productive capacity

of each soil for each of the principal crops. Yields are

likely to increase as new production technology is

developed. The productivity of a given soil compared

with that of other soils, however, is not likely to

change.

Crops other than those shown in the table are

grown in the survey area, but estimated yields are not

listed because the acreage of such crops is small. The

local office of the Natural Resources Conservation

Service or of the Cooperative Extension Service can

provide information about the management and

productivity of the soils for those crops.

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 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 1961). Only class and subclass are used in

this survey.

Capability classes, the broadest groups, are

designated by numerals 1 through 8. The numerals

indicate progressively greater limitations and narrower

choices for practical use. The classes are defined as

follows:

Class 1 soils have few limitations that restrict their

use.

Class 2 soils have moderate limitations that reduce

the choice of plants or that require moderate

conservation practices.

Class 3 soils have severe limitations that reduce the

choice of plants or that require special conservation

practices, or both.

Class 4 soils have very severe limitations that

reduce the choice of plants or that require very careful

management, or both.

Class 5 soils are not likely to erode but have other

limitations, impractical to remove, that limit their use.

Class 6 soils have severe limitations that make

them generally unsuitable for cultivation.

Class 7 soils have very severe limitations that make

them unsuitable for cultivation.

Class 8 soils and miscellaneous areas have

limitations that nearly preclude their use for

commercial crop production.

Capability subclasses are soil groups within one

class. They are designated by adding a 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, rangeland, woodland, wildlife habitat,

or recreation.

The acreage of soils in each capability class and

subclass is shown in table 7. The capability
106 Soil Survey

classification of map units in this survey area is given

in table 6.

Pasture and Hayland Suitability and Production

Information in table 6 and in the “Interpretive

Groups” section can be used by farmers, farm

managers, conservationists, and extension agents in

planning the use of soil for pasture and hay crops. The

estimated yields for four common hay and pasture

crops are given in table 6, and the pasture and

hayland suitability groups assigned to the soils are

listed in the “Interpretive Groups” section.The

suitability groups are based on soil characteristics and

limitations. Soils assigned the same suitability group

symbol require the same general management and

have about the same potential productivity. Soils on

slopes of more than 25 percent generally are unsuited

to hay and those on slopes of more than 40 percent

generally are unsuited to pasture and hay. A brief

discussion of the groups follows:

Group A consists of soils that have few limitations

affecting the management and growth of climatically

adapted plants. Group A-1 consists of deep and very

deep, well drained and moderately well drained soils.

These soils have a surface layer of silt loam, silty clay

loam, loam, or channery loam. The available water

capacity is moderate or high. Plants on these soils

respond favorably to additions of lime. Frequent

applications of lime may be needed to help maintain

an adequate pH level. A low pH level in the subsoil

shortens the life of some deep-rooted legumes. Slope

ranges from 1 to 15 percent.

Group A-2 consists of deep and very deep, well

drained and moderately well drained soils. These soils

have a surface layer of silt loam, silty clay loam, loam,

or channery loam. The available water capacity is

moderate or high. Plants on these soils respond

favorably to additions of lime. Frequent applications of

lime may be needed to help maintain an adequate pH

level. A low pH level in the subsoil shortens the life of

some deep-rooted legumes. Slope ranges from 15 to

25 percent. It limits mechanically applying lime and

fertilizer and clipping, mowing, and spraying for weed

control. Erosion is a hazard if pastures are overgrazed

or cultivated for reseeding. These soils are unsuited to

no-till seeding.

Group A-3 consists of deep and very deep, well

drained and moderately well drained soils. These

soils have a surface layer of silt loam or silty clay

loam. The available water capacity is moderate. Slope

ranges from 25 to 40 percent. These soils are

generally unsuited to hay and are poorly suited to

pasture.

Group A-4 consists of moderately deep, well

drained, droughty soils that have stones on the

surface. The stones are extensive enough to preclude

the use of hay making equipment. These soils have a

surface layer of channery loam. The available water

capacity is very low. Slope ranges from 25 to 70

percent.

Group A-5 consists of very deep, well drained and

moderately well drained soils on flood plains and low

stream terraces. These soils are subject to flooding.

The flooding limits the use of these soils for pasture

during periods of stream overflow, and the deposition

of sediment by floodwater lowers the quality of the

forage. The surface layer is loam or silt loam. The

available water capacity is moderate or high. Slope

ranges from 0 to 6 percent.

Group A-6 consists of deep and very deep, well

drained and moderately well drained soils. They are

subject to frost action, which can damage legumes.

Including grasses in seeding mixtures with legumes

minimizes the damage caused by frost heaving. These

soils have a surface layer of silt loam or silty clay loam.

The available water capacity is moderate or high.

Slope ranges from 0 to 15 percent.

Group B consists of soils that are droughty. The

droughtiness limits the growth and production of hay

and pasture.

Group B-2 consists of deep and very deep, well

drained, droughty soils. These soils have a surface

layer of channery loam. The available water capacity is

very low. Slope ranges from 25 to 40 percent. These

soils have a high content of rock fragments in the

subsoil. They are generally unsuited to hay and are

poorly suited to pasture.

Group B-3 consists of very deep, moderately well

drained soils on flood plains. These soils are subject to

flooding. The flooding limits the use of these soils for

pasture during periods of stream overflow, and the

deposition of sediment by floodwater lowers the quality

of the forage. These soils have a surface layer of silt

loam. The available water capacity is moderate. Slope

ranges from 0 to 3 percent.

Group B-4 consists of soils in areas that been

reclaimed following surface mining operations. These

soils are very deep, well drained, and droughty. They

have a surface layer of silty clay loam or clay loam.

The available water capacity is low or very low. Most

plants on these soils respond favorably to additions of

lime. Frequent applications of lime may be needed to

help maintain an adequate pH level. These soils have

a high content of rock fragments in the substratum.

The root zone generally is 20 to 30 inches deep. Slope

ranges from 0 to 25 percent.
Guernsey County, Ohio 107

Group C consists of soils that generally are wet

because they have a seasonal high water table. Some

of these soils are saturated during the growing

season.

Group C-1 consists of very deep, somewhat poorly

drained soils. These soils are subject to frost action,

which can damage legumes. Including grasses in

seeding mixtures with legumes minimizes the damage

caused by frost heaving. These soils have a surface

layer of silt loam. The available water capacity is high.

The seasonal high water table limits the rooting depth

of deep-rooted forage plants. Shallow-rooted species

grow best on these soils. Subsurface drains are used

to lower the seasonal high water table. Plants on these

soils respond favorably to additions of lime. Frequent

applications may be needed to help maintain an

adequate pH level. The low pH level in the subsoil

shortens the life of some deep-rooted legumes. Slope

ranges from 0 to 3 percent.

Group C-2 consists of deep and very deep,

somewhat poorly drained soils. Some of these soils

are subject to flooding. The flooding limits the use of

these soils for pasture during periods of stream

overflow, and the deposition of sediment by floodwater

lowers the quality of the forage. These soils have a

surface layer of silt loam or silty clay loam. The

available water capacity is moderate or high. The

seasonal high water table limits the rooting depth of

deep-rooted forage plants. Shallow-rooted species

grow best on these soils. Because of the moderately

deep root zone, these soils are best suited to forage

plants that do not have a taproot. Subsurface drains

are used to lower the seasonal high water table. The

effectiveness of the drains generally is limited by the

restricted permeability in the subsoil or the landscape

position of the soils. Slope ranges from 0 to 15

percent.

Group C-3 consists of very deep, somewhat poorly

drained to very poorly drained soils on flood plains.

These soils are subject to frequent, occasional, and

rare periods of flooding. The flooding limits the use of

these soils for pasture during periods of stream

overflow, and the deposition of sediment by floodwater

lowers the quality of the forage. The available water

capacity is moderate or high. These soils have a

surface layer of silt loam or silty clay loam. They are

subject to frost action, which can damage legumes.

Including grasses in seeding mixtures with legumes

minimizes the damage caused by frost heaving.

The seasonal high water table limits the rooting

depth of deep-rooted forage plants. Shallow-rooted

species grow best on these soils. Subsurface drains

are used to lower the seasonal high water table.

The effectiveness of the drains is limited by the

landscape position of the soil. Slope ranges from 0 to

3 percent.

Group E consists of very deep soils that have an

effective rooting depth of less than 20 inches. These

soils formed in mine spoil. They have a shallow

surface layer and a toxic, acid subsoil. Because of the

shallow root zone, these soils are better suited to

forage plants that have a fibrous root system than to

plants that have deep roots.

Group E-2 consists of very deep, well drained,

droughty soils. These soils have a surface layer of silty

clay loam or clay loam. The available water capacity is

low or very low. Slope ranges from 25 to 40 percent.

These soils are generally unsuited to hay and are

poorly suited to pasture.

Group E-3 consists of very deep, well drained,

droughty soils. These soils have a surface layer of

channery loam. The available water capacity is low.

Slope ranges from 0 to 25 percent.

Group F consists of soils that have a restricted root

zone. The root growth of climatically adapted plants is

limited to a depth of 20 to 40 inches. Forage plants

that do not have a taproot should be selected for

planting in areas of these soils.

Group F-1 consists of moderately deep, well

drained soils. Some of these soils are droughty. All of

the soils in group F-1 have a surface layer of silt loam

or channery silt loam. The available water capacity is

low or very low. Plants on these soils respond

favorably to additions of lime. Frequent applications

may be needed to help maintain an adequate pH level.

The low ph level in the subsoil shortens the life of

some deep-rooted legumes. Slope ranges from 2 to 25

percent.

Group F-2 consists of moderately deep, well

drained, droughty soils. These soils have a surface

layer of channery silt loam or channery loam. The

available water capacity is very low. These soils have a

high content of rock fragments in the subsoil. Slope

ranges from 25 to 40 percent. These soils are

generally unsuited to hay and are poorly suited to

pasture.

Group F-3 consists of deep and very deep,

moderately well drained, droughty soils. These soils

are moderately deep to a fragipan. They have a

surface layer of silt loam or channery silt loam. The

available water capacity is low in the root zone. Plants

on these soils respond favorably to additions of lime.

Frequent applications of lime may be needed to help

maintain an adequate pH level. The low ph level in the

subsoil shortens the life of some deep-rooted

legumes. Slope ranges from 1 to 25 percent.

Group F-5 consists of deep and very deep, well

drained soils. Rooting depth is restricted because of
108 Soil Survey

the high content of clay in the subsoil. These soils

have a surface layer of silty clay loam or silt loam. The

available water capacity is moderate in the root zone.

Slope ranges from 2 to 25 percent.

Group F-6 consists of deep and very deep, well

drained soils. Rooting depth is restricted because of

the high content of clay in the subsoil. These soils

have a surface layer of silty clay loam. The available

water capacity is moderate in the root zone. Slope

ranges from 25 to 40 percent.

Group G consists of soils that have a very

restricted root zone. These soils formed in mine spoil.

They have a shallow surface layer and a toxic,

extremely acid subsoil. Because of the shallow root

zone, these soils are better suited to forage plants that

have a fibrous root system than to those that have

deep roots.

Group G-1 consists of very deep, well drained,

droughty soils. These soils have a surface layer of

loam. The available water capacity is low. Slope

ranges from 0 to 25 percent. These soils are poorly

suited to hay. They are generally unsuited to pasture

because of a severe hazard of erosion.

Group H consists of soils that are not suited to

forage crops. Group H-1 consists of soils that have

slopes of more than 40 percent and soils in surfacemined areas. The soils in the mined areas have

characteristics that prohibit their use as pasture. The

soils in this group generally are unsuited to pasture

and hay.

Miscellaneous land types are not assigned a rating.

Soils that are ponded also are not assigned a rating.

They generally are not used for forage production.

Prime Farmland

Prime farmland is one of several kinds of important

farmland defined by the U.S. Department of

Agriculture. It 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, forest land, or other land, but it is not

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

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. It 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 60,000 acres in the survey area, or nearly

20 percent of the total acreage, meets the soil

requirements for prime farmland. Scattered areas of

this land are throughout the county, but the highest

concentrations are in the Mentor-Nolin-Glenford and

Lindside-Sarahsville-Newark associations, which are

described under the heading “General Soil Map Units.”

Most of this prime farmland is used for crops, mainly

corn and hay.

A recent trend in land use in some parts of the

survey area has been the loss of some prime farmland

to industrial and urban uses or to surface mining. The

loss of prime farmland to other uses puts pressure on

marginal lands, which generally are more erodible,

droughty, and less productive and cannot be easily

cultivated.

The map units in the survey area that are

considered prime farmland are listed in table 8.This

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.”

Lands Surface Mined for Coal

By 1991, about 12,000 acres of land in Guernsey

County had been affected by surface mining. About 60

percent of this land was mined prior to the 1972 Ohio

Reclamation law. It generally consists of graded and

ungraded ridges and spoil piles and bedrock highwalls

in areas where no soil material has been replaced.

The soils in these areas are mapped as Bethesda,

Morristown, and Barkcamp soils.
Guernsey County, Ohio 109

The legislation enacted by Ohio in 1972 required

the restoration of all mined land after 1972. The land

must be restored to the approximate original contour

and blanketed with topsoil and subsoil from natural

soils. Areas mapped as Bethesda clay loam, 0 to

8 percent slopes, and Morristown silty clay loam, 8 to

25 percent slopes, were reclaimed by this technique.

Reclaimed soils make up about 5,000 acres in the

county. They are better suited to agricultural

production than soils that have not been reclaimed

after mining operations, but they still have limitations

that are difficult to overcome.

The Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of

1977 requires that soils identified as prime farmland

be replaced in natural sequence to a depth of as much

as 48 inches following mining. Most soils in surfacemined areas do not meet the requirements for prime

farmland. As a result, most of the mined land is being

reclaimed with a minimum of 6 inches of soil material

overlying the spoil.

Soil properties should be considered in managing

these soils. The organic matter content is considerably

lower in previously mined soils than in natural soils. A

high bulk density is common in both the replaced soil

material and the underlying graded spoil. The

compaction is a result of the use of heavy machinery,

especially wheeled reclamation equipment; excessive

handling of topsoil material when it is stockpiled and

spread; mining and reclamation activities performed

under unfavorable moisture conditions; and insufficient

time for soil-forming processes to decrease the bulk

density. The high bulk density reduces the available

water capacity and retards plant growth. As a result,

crop yields are reduced.

Typically, the content of rock fragments in mine

spoil ranges from 35 to 60 percent, compared to 0 to

15 percent in the surface layer of most soils in the

county. The rock fragments reduce the effective root

zone and the available water capacity in mined soils.

Roots tend to concentrate in the part of the profile

where the soil material and rock fragments adjoin.

Few roots penetrate the compact, massive spoil

material.

Planting suitable forage species increases the

organic matter content, improves soil structure,

reduces bulk density, and increases the water

infiltration rate, pore space, and root growth in mine

spoil soils. Forage species are better soil-building

crops than row crops. They also help to control runoff

and erosion more effectively. Thin stands should be

reseeded. Conservation tillage methods of seedbed

preparation that keep plant residue on the surface,

including no-till planting, and companion crops also

help to control erosion.

Mine spoil soils are generally unsuited to grazing in

winter when they are wet. Winter grazing can result in

compaction and damage to the plants and can

increase the hazard of erosion. These soils are better

suited to frequent, light applications of fertilizer than to

larger applications because of the loss of plant

nutrients through runoff and the concentration of roots

in the upper few inches of the soils.

Woodland

Woodland is an important land use in Guernsey

County. In 1980, about 165,000 acres, or nearly

50 percent of the county, was wooded. The wooded

acreage mainly occurs as privately owned stands of

timber and farm woodlots. About 20,000 acres of

woodland in the north-central part of the county is

owned by the State of Ohio. This acreage is part of

Salt Fork State Park. The most extensive wooded

areas are in the Hazleton-Gilpin-Dekalb association in

the northern part of the county.

The woodland is mainly mixed hardwoods. The

dominant woodland species are oak, yellow-poplar,

black cherry, red maple, sugar maple, ash, and beech.

Most of the wooded acreage is on steep and very

steep soils formed in residuum and colluvium derived

from sandstone, siltstone, limestone, and shale. The

dominant soils are those in the Guernsey,

Westmoreland, Dekalb, Berks, Hazleton, and

Clarksburg series. Many of the narrow ridgetops and

flood plains also are wooded; however, woodland is

not the dominant land use on the wider ridgetops and

flood plains where the soils are better suited to

farming. The wooded acreage in the county has

increased in recent years, particularly in the steeper

areas. Many abandoned areas have been planted to

trees, mainly eastern white pine.

In places the woodland shows the results of poor

management, abuse, and neglect. Heavy cutting

without planning for future timber production has

resulted in understocked stands of trees near maturity.

The practice of high grading has continually removed

the best trees and left diseased or damaged trees,

which take up valuable growing space on soils that are

excellent woodland sites. Low-value white elm and

hollow beech and poorly formed black cherry and red

maple now cover thousands of acres where yellowpoplar, oak, black walnut, and sugar maple were once

prevalent. Grazing has damaged or destroyed the leaf

litter and desirable seedlings, has damaged roots, and

has resulted in compaction. In most wooded areas,

wild grapevines have not been controlled. Good

management can, in time, restore this woodland to a

higher level of production. Additional information on
110 Soil Survey

woodland management can be obtained from the local

offices of the Natural Resources Conservation Service

and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources,

Division of Forestry.

Soils differ greatly in productivity for woodland. The

factors that influence the growth of trees are almost

the same as those that influence the production of

annual crops and forage. The major difference is that

tree roots extend deeper, around rock fragments in the

lower part of the soil profile. The direction of exposure,

or aspect, and the position of the soil on the landscape

are important in evaluating a soil for woodland. Other

important properties are the percent of slope, the

degree of past erosion, and the levels of acidity and

fertility.

Aspect is the direction in which a slope faces. Trees

grow better on north and east aspects because they

are less exposed to the sun and prevailing winds and

because soil moisture is more abundant. South and

west aspects are less suited to woodland because of

higher soil temperatures resulting from more direct

sunlight, high evaporation by the prevailing wind,

earlier snowmelt, and a greater degree of freezing and

thawing.

The position of the soil on the landscape is

important in determining the amount of moisture

available for tree growth. The supply of soil moisture

increases as elevation decreases, partly because of

downslope seepage. Also, the soils on the lower part

of slopes are generally deeper, lose less moisture

through evaporation, and have a somewhat lower soil

temperature than those on the upper part.

Slope is an important factor in woodland

management. Steep and very steep slopes seriously

limit the use of equipment, and as the percent of slope

increases, the rate of water infiltration decreases and

the rate of runoff and the hazard of erosion increase.

Erosion reduces the volume of soil available for

water storage. Severe erosion removes the original

surface layer and exposes the subsoil. Because the

subsoil is commonly less porous, the runoff rate

increases and the rate of water intake decreases. Both

tree growth and natural reseeding are adversely

affected.

Soil reaction and fertility influence the growth of

trees. For example, black walnut grows better on well

drained soils, such as Chagrin, Mentor, Nolin,

Richland, and Westmore soils. The natural content of

lime in the subsoil of these soils favors the growth of

this species. The growth rate is slower on soils that are

low in fertility.

Christmas trees have been grown in a few areas of

the county. They can grow well on many of the soils

but are adversely affected by various soil properties.

Drainage and soil texture affect the species that can

be successfully grown. For example, blue spruce and

Fraser fir do not grow well on poorly drained and

somewhat poorly drained soils, such as Claysville,

Fitchville, and Newark soils. Fraser fir also does not

grow well on Aaron, Elba, Guernsey, and Upshur soils

because the soils have a fine textured subsoil. Other

limiting factors are fertility, the available water capacity,

the potential for frost action, and the depth to bedrock.

Wellston and Westmoreland soils are better suited to

spruce and fir than Berks and Dekalb soils because

they have a higher available water capacity, are

deeper to bedrock, and are more fertile.

Woodland Management and Productivity

Table 9 can help woodland owners or forest

managers plan the use of soils for wood crops. Only

those soils suitable for wood crops are listed. The table

lists the ordination symbol for each soil. Soils assigned

the same ordination symbol require the same general

management and have about the same potential

productivity.

The first part of the ordination symbol, a number,

indicates the potential productivity of the soils for an

indicator tree species. The number indicates the

volume, in cubic meters per hectare per year, which

the indicator species can produce in a pure stand

under natural conditions. The number 1 indicates low

potential productivity; 2 or 3, moderate; 4 or 5,

moderately high; 6 to 8, high; 9 to 11, very high; and

12 to 39, extremely high. The second part of the

symbol, a letter, indicates the major kind of soil

limitation. The letter R indicates steep slopes; X,

stoniness or rockiness; W, excess water in or on the

soil; T, toxic substances in the soil; D, restricted rooting

depth; C, clay in the upper part of the soil; S, sandy

texture; F, a high content of rock fragments in the soil;

and N, snowpack. The letter A indicates that limitations

or restrictions are insignificant. If a soil has more than

one limitation, the priority is as follows: R, X, W, T, D,

C, S, F, and N.

In the table, slight, moderate, and severe indicate

the degree of the major soil limitations to be

considered in management.

Erosion hazard is the probability that damage will

occur as a result of site preparation and cutting where

the soil is exposed along roads, skid trails, and fire

lanes and in log-handling areas. Forests that have

been burned or overgrazed also are subject to erosion.

Ratings of the erosion hazard are based on the

percent of the slope. A rating of slight indicates that no

particular prevention measures are needed under

ordinary conditions. A rating of moderate indicates that

erosion-control measures are needed in certain
Guernsey County, Ohio 111

silvicultural activities. A rating of severe indicates that

special precautions are needed to control erosion in

most silvicultural activities.

Seedling mortality refers to the death of naturally

occurring or planted tree seedlings, as influenced by

the kinds of soil, soil wetness, or topographic

conditions. The factors used in rating the soils for

seedling mortality are texture of the surface layer,

depth to a seasonal high water table and the length of

the period when the water table is high, rock

fragments in the surface layer, effective rooting depth,

and slope aspect. A rating of slight indicates that

seedling mortality is not likely to be a problem under

normal conditions. Expected mortality is less than

25 percent. A rating of moderate indicates that some

problems from seedling mortality can be expected.

Extra precautions are advisable. Expected mortality is

25 to 50 percent. A rating of severe indicates that

seedling mortality is a serious problem. Extra

precautions are important. Replanting may be

necessary. Expected mortality is more than

50 percent.

Windthrow hazard is the likelihood that trees will be

uprooted by the wind because the soil is not deep

enough for adequate root anchorage. The main

restrictions that affect rooting are a seasonal high

water table and the depth to bedrock, a fragipan, or

other limiting layers. A rating of slight indicates that

under normal conditions no trees are blown down by

the wind. Strong winds may damage trees, but they do

not uproot them. A rating of moderate indicates that

some trees can be blown down during periods when

the soil is wet and winds are moderate or strong. A

rating of severe indicates that many trees can be

blown down during these periods.

Plant competition ratings indicate the degree to

which undesirable species are expected to invade and

grow when openings are made in the tree canopy. The

main factors that affect plant competition are depth to

the water table and the available water capacity. A

rating of slight indicates that competition from

undesirable plants is not likely to prevent natural

regeneration or suppress the more desirable species.

Planted seedlings can become established without

undue competition. A rating of moderate indicates that

competition may delay the establishment of desirable

species. Competition may hamper stand development,

but it will not prevent the eventual development of fully

stocked stands. A rating of severe indicates that

competition can be expected to prevent regeneration

unless precautionary measures are applied.

The potential productivity of merchantable or

common trees on a soil is expressed as a site index

and as a productivity class. 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, evenaged, unmanaged stands. Commonly grown trees are

those that woodland managers generally favor in

intermediate or improvement cuttings. They are

selected on the basis of growth rate, quality, value,

and marketability.

The productivity class, a number, is the yield likely

to be produced by the most important trees. This

number, expressed as cubic meters per hectare per

year, indicates the amount of fiber produced in a fully

stocked, even-aged, unmanaged stand.

The first species listed under common trees for a

soil is the indicator species for that soil. It generally is

the most common species on the soil and is the one

that determines the ordination class.

Trees to plant are those that are suitable for

commercial wood production.

Woodland Harvesting and Regeneration Activities

Table 10 gives the degree and kinds of limitations

that affect the operation of equipment used in tree

harvesting and in the regeneration of woodland.

Ratings are given for haul roads, log landings, skid

trails and logging areas, and site preparation and

planting. The limitations are considered slight if the

physical site characteristics impose little or no

limitations on the kind of equipment or time of

operation; moderate if the site characteristics impose

some limitations on the kind of equipment or the time

of operation, or both; and severe if the site

characteristics are such that special equipment or

techniques are needed or the time of efficient

operation is very limited, or both.

Haul roads are access roads leading from log

landings to primary or surfaced roads. Generally,

these are unpaved roads that have not been graveled.

The ratings are based on soil properties, site features,

and observed performance of the soils. Wetness,

rockiness, depth to hard bedrock, stoniness, soil

strength, slope, soil texture, and flooding should be

considered when selecting routes for haul roads.

Wetness and flooding affect the duration of use.

Stones and boulders, which are difficult to move,

hinder the construction when cutting and filling are

needed. Soil strength, as inferred from the AASHTO

group index and AASHTO group, is a measure of the

traffic-supporting capacity of the soil. Slope affects the

use of equipment and the cutting and filling

requirements of the site.

Log landings are areas where logs are assembled

for transportation. The best sites for landings require

little or no surface preparation, which consists of
112 Soil Survey

cutting or filling. Considerable soil compaction can be

expected in these areas. The ratings are based on the

soil properties, site features, and observed

performance of soils.Wetness, flooding, rockiness,

stoniness, slope, depth to hard bedrock, soil strength,

soil texture, and rock fragments should be considered

when selecting sites for log landings. Wetness and

flooding affect the duration of use. Stones and

boulders, which are difficult to move, limit the use of

equipment and affect the configuration and location of

landings. Depth to hard bedrock is a problem where

cutting and filling are required. Slope affects the use of

equipment and the cutting and filling requirements of

the site. Soil texture affects trafficability. Soil strength,

as inferred from the AASHTO group index and

AASHTO group, is a measure of the traffic-supporting

capacity of the soil.

Skid trails and logging areas refer to the areas that

are being partially or completely logged. In these

areas logs are moved from the stump to the log

landing with rubber-tired equipment. Using other types

of log-moving equipment can sometimes minimize or

help to overcome limitations. The ratings are based on

soil properties, site features, and the observed

performance of the soils.Wetness, flooding, rockiness,

stoniness, texture, and slope affect the use of logging

equipment. Deferring logging activities during periods

when the soil is saturated at or near the surface

minimizes environmental damage. In addition, special

logging equipment is generally required during these

periods. Equipment should not be used on soils that

are subject to long periods of flooding. Operating

equipment on these soils can result in equipment

damage or environmental damage, or both. Stones

and boulders limit the safe and efficient use of

equipment.Traction becomes worse as slope

gradients increase. It also is a problem on clayey soils

during wet periods.

Site preparation and planting are mechanized

operations for site preparation, planting, row seeding,

or a combination of these. The ratings are based on

the limitations affecting the efficient use of equipment

and on the damage that can result on the site when

equipment is used. It is assumed that the operating

techniques used do not displace or remove topsoil

from the site or create channels in which storm runoff

can concentrate.Wetness, flooding, rockiness,

stoniness, rock fragments, depth to hard bedrock,

texture, and slope affect equipment use during site

preparation and planting. Deferring logging activities

during periods when the soil is saturated at or near the

surface minimizes environmental damage. In addition,

special logging equipment is generally required during

these periods. Equipment should not be used on soils

that are subject to long periods of flooding. Operating

equipment on these soils can result in equipment

damage or environmental damage, or both. Stones

and boulders limit the safe and efficient use of

equipment.The rock fragments and the very shallow

depth to hard bedrock are limitations affecting site

preparation and planting.Traction becomes worse as

slope gradients increase. It also is a problem on clayey

soils during wet periods.

Windbreaks and Environmental Plantings

Windbreaks protect livestock, buildings, and yards

from wind and snow. They also protect fruit trees and

gardens, and they furnish habitat for wildlife. Several

rows of low- and high-growing broadleaf and

coniferous trees and shrubs provide the most

protection.

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. Field windbreaks protect cropland and

crops from wind, help to keep snow on the fields, and

provide food and cover for wildlife.

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 11 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 the local office

of the Natural Resources Conservation Service or of

the Cooperative Extension Service or from a

commercial nursery.

Recreation

There are a number of outdoor recreational areas in

scenic Guernsey County. Some of these areas are

privately owned or owned by service organizations,

churches, or sportsmen’s clubs. Other areas are

owned by governmental agencies.

The State of Ohio owns about 20,000 acres of land

in Salt Fork State Park adjacent to Salt Fork Lake and

a smaller acreage of land around the Senecaville Dam
Guernsey County, Ohio 113

and Reservoir (fig. 8). These recreational areas are

used for boating, hunting, fishing, camping, picnicking,

hiking, and other activities. A large wildlife preserve is

being developed in Muskingum County, Ohio, on land

that has been affected by surface mining. The area of

development joins Guernsey County near Spencer

Township.

Many people who reside outside of the county have

constructed summer residences in Guernsey County.

There are several golf courses in areas throughout the

county.

The soils in the county vary greatly. Many soils are

moderately well suited to recreational uses. Most of

the soils on flood plains are subject to frequent

flooding, and some of these areas tend to be

excessively wet. There are about 3,000 acres of hydric

soils and constructed wetlands in the county. Soils on

gently sloping uplands and nearly level and gently

sloping terraces are best suited to recreational

activities. Measures that help to control erosion and

reduce wetness are needed both in intensive

recreational areas, such as playgrounds and

developed campsites, and in extensive recreational

areas, such as trails and primitive campsites. Access

roads, critical area plantings, diversions, waterways,

subsurface drains, and protection of heavily used

areas are needed. More information about these

conservation measures can be obtained from the local

office of the Natural Resources Conservation Service.

The soils of the survey area are rated in table 12

according to limitations that affect their suitability for

recreation. The ratings 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

Figure 8.—Salt Fork Lake and Salt Fork State Park provide numerous recreational opportunities in Guernsey County.
114 Soil Survey

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.

In the table, the degree of soil limitation is

expressed as slight, moderate, or severe. Slight

means that soil properties are generally favorable and

that limitations are minor and easily overcome.

Moderate means that limitations can be overcome or

alleviated by planning, design, or special maintenance.

Severe means that soil properties are unfavorable and

that limitations can be offset only by costly soil

reclamation, special design, intensive maintenance,

limited use, or a combination of these.

The information in table 12 can be supplemented by

other information in this survey, for example,

interpretations for septic tank absorption fields in table

15 and interpretations for dwellings without basements

and for local roads and streets in table 14.

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 best soils have mild slopes and

are not wet or subject to flooding during the period of

use. The surface has few or no stones or boulders,

absorbs rainfall readily but remains firm, and is not

dusty when dry. Strong slopes and stones or boulders

can greatly increase the cost of constructing

campsites.

Picnic areas are subject to heavy foot traffic. Most

vehicular traffic is confined to access roads and

parking areas. The best soils for picnic areas are firm

when wet, are not dusty when dry, are not subject to

flooding during the period of use, and do not have

slopes or stones or boulders that increase the cost of

shaping sites or of building access roads and parking

areas.

Playgrounds require soils that can withstand

intensive foot traffic. The best soils are almost level

and are not wet or subject to flooding during the

season of use. The surface is free of stones and

boulders, is firm after rains, and is not dusty when dry.

If grading is needed, the depth of the soil over bedrock

or a hardpan should be considered.

Paths and trails for hiking and horseback riding

should require little or no cutting and filling. The best

soils are not wet, are firm after rains, are not dusty

when dry, and are not subject to flooding more than

once a year during the period of use. They have

moderate slopes and few or no stones or boulders on

the surface.

Golf fairways are subject to heavy foot traffic and

some light vehicular traffic. Cutting or filling may be

required. The best soils for use as golf fairways are

firm when wet, are not dusty when dry, and are not

subject to prolonged flooding during the period of use.

They have moderate slopes and no stones or boulders

on the surface. The suitability of the soil for tees or

greens is not considered in rating the soils.

Wildlife Habitat

Guernsey County has a wide variety of wildlife.

Some birds inhabiting the county are turkey, mourning

dove, ruffed grouse, quail, pheasant, hawks, crows,

and various songbirds. Some of the common

mammals are rabbits, squirrels, beaver, opossum,

muskrat, woodchuck, raccoon, skunk, fox, coyote, and

white-tailed deer. This wide variety of wildlife is

supported by diverse habitats, including cropland,

openland, woodland, wetland, and areas of open

water.

Areas of wetland are scattered throughout the

county. The largest areas are along Skull Fork,

Salt Fork, Buffalo Creek, and Leatherwood Creek.

Melvin and Zipp soils commonly are in these

areas.

About 7,000 acres of unreclaimed strip-mined land,

consisting mainly of Bethesda and Morristown soils, is

used primarily for wildlife habitat. The main

management concern in areas of these soils is habitat

improvement. These soils have a restricted rooting

depth, are droughty and extremely acid, and contain

many rock fragments. Wildlife habitat can be improved

by establishing a wider variety of plants.

With proper treatment most of the soils in Guernsey

County are well suited to plants used as food and

cover by wildlife. Planting grasses helps to create

nesting areas, and planting shrubs in hedgerows and

fence rows helps to provide food and cover. Planting

nut-producing trees and leaving hollow den trees

improve habitat for woodland wildlife. Cropland is an

invaluable source of food for wildlife if it is managed

properly. Ponds can be constructed in some areas.

Landscaping the area around a newly constructed

pond helps to provide habitat for wildlife. Additional

information about improving wildlife habitat can be
Guernsey County, Ohio 115

obtained from the Ohio State University Extension; the

Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of

Wildlife; and the local office of the Natural Resources

Conservation Service.

Soils affect the kind and amount of vegetation that

is available to wildlife as food and cover. They also

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 13, 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

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 barley.

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, timothy, 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 foxtail, goldenrod, smartweed,

ragweed, and fall panicum.

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, beech, cherry,

sweetgum, maple, hawthorn, dogwood, hickory,

blackberry, and black walnut. Examples of fruitproducing shrubs that are suitable for planting on soils

rated good are honeysuckle, 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, wildrice,

saltgrass, cordgrass, 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,
116 Soil Survey

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, deer, and bear.

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, mink, and beaver.

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 within a depth of 5 or 6 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 grain-size

distribution, liquid limit, plasticity index, soil reaction,

depth to bedrock, hardness of bedrock within 5 or 6

feet of the surface, soil wetness, depth to a seasonal

high water table, 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

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

Table 14 shows the degree and kind of soil

limitations that affect shallow excavations, dwellings

with and without basements, small commercial

buildings, local roads and streets, and lawns and

landscaping. The limitations are considered slight if

soil properties and site features are generally

favorable for the indicated use and limitations are

minor and easily overcome; moderate if soil properties

or site features are not favorable for the indicated use

and special planning, design, or maintenance is

needed to overcome or minimize the limitations; and

severe if soil properties or site features are so

unfavorable or so difficult to overcome that special

design, significant increases in construction costs, and

possibly increased maintenance are required. Special

feasibility studies may be required where the soil

limitations are severe.

Shallow excavations are trenches or holes dug to a

maximum depth of 5 or 6 feet for basements, graves,

utility lines, open ditches, or other purposes. The

ratings are based on soil properties, site features, and

observed performance of the soils. The ease of

digging, filling, and compacting is affected by the depth

to bedrock, a cemented pan, or a very firm dense
Guernsey County, Ohio 117

layer; stone content; soil texture; and slope. The time

of the year that excavations can be made is affected

by the depth to a seasonal high water table and the

susceptibility of the soil to flooding.The resistance of

the excavation walls or banks to sloughing or caving is

affected by soil texture and depth to the water table.

Dwellings and small commercial buildings are

structures built on shallow foundations on undisturbed

soil.The load limit is the same as that for single-family

dwellings no higher than three stories. Ratings are

made for small commercial buildings without

basements, for dwellings with basements, and for

dwellings without basements. The ratings are based

on soil properties, site features, and observed

performance of the soils. A high water table, flooding,

shrinking and swelling, and organic layers can cause

the movement of footings. A high water table, depth to

bedrock or to a cemented pan, large stones, slope,

and flooding affect the ease of excavation and

construction. Landscaping and grading that require

cuts and fills of more than 5 or 6 feet are not

considered.

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 stabilized soil material; and

a flexible or rigid surface. Cuts and fills are generally

limited to less than 6 feet.The ratings are based on

soil properties, site features, and observed

performance of the soils. Depth to bedrock or to a

cemented pan, a high water table, flooding, large

stones, and slope affect the ease of excavating and

grading. Soil strength (as inferred from the engineering

classification of the soil), shrink-swell potential, frost

action potential, and depth to a high water table affect

the traffic-supporting capacity.

Lawns and landscaping require soils on which turf

and ornamental trees and shrubs can be established

and maintained.The ratings are based on soil

properties, site features, and observed performance of

the soils. Soil reaction, a high water table, depth to

bedrock or to a cemented pan, the available water

capacity in the upper 40 inches, and the presence of

toxic substances affect plant growth. Flooding,

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

clay, or organic matter in the surface layer affect

trafficability after vegetation is established.

Sanitary Facilities

Table 15 shows the degree and kind of soil

limitations that affect septic tank absorption fields,

sewage lagoons, and sanitary landfills. The limitations

are considered slight if soil properties and site features

are generally favorable for the indicated use and

limitations are minor and easily overcome; moderate if

soil properties or site features are not favorable for the

indicated use and special planning, design, or

maintenance is needed to overcome or minimize the

limitations; and severe if soil properties or site features

are so unfavorable or so difficult to overcome that

special design, significant increases in construction

costs, and possibly increased maintenance are

required.

The table also shows the suitability of the soils for

use as daily cover for landfill. A rating of good

indicates that soil properties and site features are

favorable for the use and good performance and low

maintenance can be expected; fair indicates that soil

properties and site features are moderately favorable

for the use and one or more soil properties or site

features make the soil less desirable than the soils

rated good; and poor indicates that one or more soil

properties or site features are unfavorable for the use

and overcoming the unfavorable properties requires

special design, extra maintenance, or costly alteration.

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 72 inches is

evaluated. The ratings are based on soil properties,

site features, and observed performance of the soils.

Permeability, a high water table, depth to bedrock or to

a cemented pan, and flooding affect absorption of the

effluent. Large stones and bedrock or a cemented pan

interfere with installation.

Unsatisfactory performance of septic tank

absorption fields, including excessively slow

absorption of effluent, surfacing of effluent, and hillside

seepage, can affect public health. Ground water can

be polluted if highly permeable sand and gravel or

fractured bedrock is less than 4 feet below the base of

the absorption field, if slope is excessive, or if the

water table is near the surface. There must be

unsaturated soil material beneath the absorption field

to filter the effluent effectively. Many local ordinances

require that this material be of a certain thickness.

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. Lagoons generally are designed to

hold the sewage within a depth of 2 to 5 feet. Nearly

impervious soil material for the lagoon floor and sides

is required to minimize seepage and contamination of

ground water.

The table gives ratings for the natural soil that

makes up the lagoon floor. The surface layer and,

generally, 1 or 2 feet of soil material below the surface
118 Soil Survey

layer are excavated to provide material for the

embankments. The ratings are based on soil

properties, site features, and observed performance of

the soils. Considered in the ratings are slope,

permeability, a high water table, depth to bedrock or to

a cemented pan, flooding, large stones, and content of

organic matter.

Excessive seepage resulting from rapid

permeability in the soil or a water table that is high

enough to raise the level of sewage in the lagoon

causes a lagoon to function unsatisfactorily. Pollution

results if seepage is excessive 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.

Sanitary landfills are areas where solid waste is

disposed of by burying it in soil.There are two types of

landfill—trench and area. In a trench landfill, the waste

is placed in a trench. It is spread, compacted, and

covered daily with a thin layer of soil excavated at the

site. In an area landfill, the 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.

Both types of landfill must be able to bear heavy

vehicular traffic. Both types involve a risk of groundwater pollution. Ease of excavation and revegetation

should be considered. The ratings in the table are

based on soil properties, site features, and observed

performance of the soils. Permeability, depth to

bedrock or to a cemented pan, a high water table,

slope, and flooding affect both types of landfill.Texture,

stones and boulders, highly organic layers, and soil

reaction affect trench landfills. Unless otherwise

stated, the ratings apply only to that part of the soil

within a depth of about 6 feet. For deeper trenches, a

limitation rated slight or moderate may not be valid.

Onsite investigation is needed.

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.

Soil texture, wetness, coarse fragments, and slope

affect the ease of removing and spreading the material

during wet and dry periods. Loamy or silty soils that

are free of large stones or excess gravel are the best

cover for a landfill. Clayey soils are sticky or cloddy

and are difficult to spread; sandy soils are subject to

wind erosion.

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. The surface layer generally has the best

workability, more organic matter, and the best potential

for plants. Material from the surface layer should be

stockpiled for use as the final cover.

Construction Materials

Table 16 gives information about the soils as a

source of roadfill, sand, gravel, and topsoil. The soils

are rated good, fair, or poor as a source of roadfill and

topsoil. They are rated as a probable or improbable

source of sand and gravel. The ratings are based on

soil properties and site features that affect the removal

of the soil and its use as construction material. Normal

compaction, minor processing, and other standard

construction practices are assumed. Each soil is

evaluated to a depth of 5 or 6 feet.

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 soil material below the

surface layer to a depth of 5 or 6 feet. It is assumed

that soil layers will be mixed during excavating and

spreading. Many soils have layers of contrasting

suitability within their profile. The table showing

engineering index properties provides detailed

information about each soil layer. This information can

help to determine the suitability of each layer for use

as roadfill. The performance of soil after it is stabilized

with lime or cement is not considered in the ratings.

The ratings are based on soil properties, site

features, and observed performance of the soils. The

thickness of suitable material is a major consideration.

The ease of excavation is affected by large stones, a

high 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

engineering classification of the soil) and shrink-swell

potential.

Soils rated good contain significant amounts of

sand or gravel or both. They have at least 5 feet of

suitable material, a low shrink-swell potential, few

cobbles and stones, and slopes of 15 percent or less.

Depth to the water table is more than 3 feet. Soils

rated fair are more than 35 percent silt- and clay-sized

particles and have a plasticity index of less than 10.

They have a moderate shrink-swell potential, slopes of

15 to 25 percent, or many stones. Depth to the water

table is 1 to 3 feet. Soils rated poor have a plasticity
Guernsey County, Ohio 119

index of more than 10, a high shrink-swell potential,

many stones, or slopes of more than 25 percent.They

are wet and have a water table at a depth of less than

1 foot.They may have layers of suitable material, but

the material is less than 3 feet thick.

Sand and gravel are natural aggregates suitable for

commercial use with a minimum of processing.They

are used in many kinds of construction. Specifications

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

probability 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 engineering classification of the soil),

the thickness of suitable material, and the content of

rock fragments. Kinds of rock, acidity, and stratification

are given in the soil series descriptions. Gradation of

grain sizes is given in the table on engineering index

properties.

A soil rated as a probable source has a layer of

clean sand or gravel or a layer of sand or gravel that is

up to 12 percent silty fines. This material must be at

least 3 feet thick and less than 50 percent, by weight,

large stones. All other soils are rated as an improbable

source. Coarse fragments of soft bedrock, such as

shale and siltstone, are not considered to be sand and

gravel.

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.

Plant growth is affected by toxic material and by

such properties as soil reaction, available water

capacity, and fertility. The ease of excavating, loading,

and spreading is affected by rock fragments, slope, a

water table, soil texture, and thickness of suitable

material. Reclamation of the borrow area is affected by

slope, a water table, rock fragments, bedrock, and

toxic material.

Soils rated good have friable, loamy material to a

depth of at least 40 inches. They are free of stones

and cobbles, have little or no gravel, and have slopes

of less than 8 percent. They are low in content of

soluble salts, are naturally fertile or respond well to

fertilizer, and are not so wet that excavation is difficult.

Soils rated fair are sandy soils, loamy soils that

have a relatively high content of clay, soils that have

only 20 to 40 inches of suitable material, soils that

have an appreciable amount of gravel, stones, or

soluble salts, or soils that have slopes of 8 to

15 percent.The soils are not so wet that excavation is

difficult.

Soils rated poor are very sandy or clayey, have less

than 20 inches of suitable material, have a large

amount of gravel, stones, or soluble salts, have slopes

of more than 15 percent, or have a seasonal high

water table at or near the surface.

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

Table 17 gives 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; and

aquifer-fed excavated ponds. The limitations are

considered slight if soil properties and site features are

generally favorable for the indicated use and

limitations are minor and are easily overcome;

moderate if soil properties or site features are not

favorable for the indicated use and special planning,

design, or maintenance is needed to overcome or

minimize the limitations; and severe if soil properties or

site features are so unfavorable or so difficult to

overcome that special design, significant increase in

construction costs, and possibly increased

maintenance are required.

This table also gives for each soil the restrictive

features that affect drainage, terraces and diversions,

and grassed waterways.

Pond reservoir areas hold water behind a dam or

embankment. 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 this table, 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.
120

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

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.

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, to a cemented pan, or to 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 to a cemented pan, large stones, slope,

and the hazard of cutbanks caving. The productivity of

the soil after drainage is adversely affected by extreme

acidity or by toxic substances in the root zone, such as

salts, sodium, and sulfur. The availability of drainage

outlets is not considered in the ratings.

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 to 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.

Grassed waterways 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 to a

cemented pan affect the construction of grassed

waterways. A hazard of wind erosion, low available

water capacity, restricted rooting depth, toxic

substances such as salts and sodium, and restricted

permeability adversely affect the growth and

maintenance of the grass after construction.
121

Data relating to soil properties are collected during

the course of the soil survey. The data and the

estimates of soil and water features, listed in tables,

are explained on the following pages.

Soil properties are determined 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 grain-size distribution,

plasticity, and compaction characteristics.

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 shown in the tables

include the range of grain-size distribution and

Atterberg limits, the engineering classification, and the

physical and chemical properties of the major layers of

each soil. Pertinent soil and water features also are

given.

Engineering Index Properties

Table 18 gives estimates of the engineering

classification and of the range of index properties for

the major layers of each soil in the survey area. Most

soils have layers of contrasting properties within the

upper 5 or 6 feet.

Depth to the upper and lower boundaries of each

layer is indicated. The range in depth and information

on other properties of each layer are given for each

soil series under the heading “Soil Series and Their

Morphology.”

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. 9). “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 as much as about

15 percent, 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 1993) and

the system adopted by the American Association of

State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO

1986).

The Unified system classifies soils according to

properties that affect their use as construction

material. Soils are classified according to grain-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.

Soil Properties

Figure 9.—Percentages of clay, silt, and sand in the basic

USDA soil textural classes.
122 Soil Survey

The AASHTO system classifies soils according to

those properties that affect roadway construction and

maintenance. In this system, the fraction of a mineral

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 grain-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 grain-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 omitted in the

table.

Physical and Chemical Properties

Tables 19 and 20 show estimates of some

characteristics and features that affect soil behavior.

These estimates are given for the major 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 the tables, the estimated clay content of

each major 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 greatly affect the

fertility and physical condition of the soil.They

determine 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-bar moisture tension.Weight is determined after the

soil is dried at 105 degrees C. In table 19, the

estimated moist bulk density of each major 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. A bulk density of more than 1.6 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 refers to the ability of a soil to transmit

water or air. The estimates indicate the rate of

downward movement of water 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 major soil

layer. The capacity varies, depending on soil

properties that affect retention of water and depth of

the root zone. 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 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, 6 to 9 percent; and

very high, more than 9 percent.

Organic matter is the plant and animal residue in

the soil at various stages of decomposition. In this

table, 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 or increased by returning crop residue to

the soil. Organic matter affects the available water

capacity, infiltration rate, and tilth. It is a source of

nitrogen and other nutrients for crops.

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) 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 (up to 4 percent) and on soil

structure and permeability.Values of K range from

0.02 to 0.64. Other factors being equal, the higher the

value, the more susceptible the soil is to sheet and rill

erosion by water.

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 resistance to

wind erosion in cultivated areas.The groups indicate

the susceptibility of soil to wind erosion.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.

Wind erodibility index is a numerical value indicating

the susceptibility of soil to wind erosion, or the tons

per acre per year that can be expected to be lost to

wind erosion.There is a close correlation between

wind erosion and the texture of the surface layer, the

size and durability of surface clods, rock fragments,

organic matter, and a calcareous reaction. Soil

moisture and frozen soil layers also influence wind

erosion.

In table 20, cation-exchange capacity is the total

amount of exchangeable cations that can be held by

the soil, expressed in terms of milliequivalents per

100 grams of soil at neutrality (pH 7.0) or at some

other stated pH value. Soils having a low cationexchange capacity hold fewer cations and may require

more frequent applications of fertilizer than soils

having a high cation-exchange capacity. Soils having a

high cation-exchange capacity can retain cations. The

ability to retain cations helps to prevent the pollution of

ground water.

Soil reaction is a measure of acidity or alkalinity and

is expressed as a range in pH values. The range in pH

of each major 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
124 Soil Survey

fertility and stabilization, and in determining the risk of

corrosion.

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 and Water Features

Tables 21 and 22 give estimates of various soil and

water features. The estimates are used in land use

planning that involves engineering considerations.

In table 21, 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.

Flooding, the temporary inundation of an area, is

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.

The table gives the frequency and duration of

flooding and the time of year when flooding is most

likely.

Frequency, duration, and probable dates of

occurrence are estimated. Frequency is expressed as

none, rare, occasional, and frequent. None means that

flooding is not probable; rare that it is unlikely but

possible under unusual weather conditions (the

chance of flooding 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 flooding 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

flooding is more than 50 percent in any year). Duration

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

to 7 days, long if 7 days to 1 month, and very long if

more than 1 month. Probable dates are expressed in

months. About two-thirds to three-fourths of all flooding

occurs during the stated period.

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.

High water table (seasonal) is the highest level of a

saturated zone in the soil in most years. The estimates

are based mainly on observations of the water table at

selected sites and on the evidence of a saturated

zone, namely grayish colors or mottles (redoximorphic

features) in the soil. Indicated in the table are depth to

the seasonal high water table, the kind of water table,

and the months of the year that the water table

commonly is high. A water table that is seasonally high

for less than 1 month is not indicated in the 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.

Two numbers in the column showing depth to the

water table indicate the normal range in depth to a

saturated zone. Depth is given to the nearest half foot.

The first numeral in the range indicates the highest
Guernsey County, Ohio 125

water level. A plus sign preceding the range in depth

indicates that the water table is above the surface of

the soil. “More than 6.0” indicates that the water table

is below a depth of 6 feet or that it is within a depth of

6 feet for less than a month.

Ponding is standing water in a closed depression.

Unless a drainage system is installed, the water is

removed only by percolation, transpiration, or

evaporation. Ponding duration classes are the same

as those for flooding. Maximum ponding depth refers

to the depth of the water above the surface of the soil.

In table 22, depth to bedrock is given if bedrock is

within a depth of 5 feet. The depth is based on many

soil borings and on observations during soil mapping.

The rock is either soft or hard. If the rock is soft or

fractured, excavations can be made with trenching

machines, backhoes, or small rippers. If the rock is

hard or massive, blasting or special equipment

generally is needed for excavation.

Potential 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 mainly to pavements and other

rigid structures.

Risk of corrosion pertains to potential soil-induced

electrochemical or chemical action that dissolves 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 in installations that

intersect soil boundaries or soil layers is more

susceptible to corrosion than steel 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.

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; National

Research Council 1995; Tiner 1985; U.S. Army Corps

of Engineers 1987). 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,

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 1975)

and “Keys to Soil Taxonomy” (Soil Survey Staff 1990)

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
126

hydric soils in this survey area are specified in “Field

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

Whited, and Pringle 1996).

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 following map units 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 (Hurt,

Whited, and Pringle 1996; National Research Council

1995).

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 following map units, 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.

Physical and Chemical Analyses of

Selected Soils

Samples of some of the soils in Guernsey County

were analyzed by the Soil Characterization Laboratory,

School of Natural Resources, The Ohio State

University, Columbus, Ohio. The physical and chemical

data obtained from the samples include those on

particle-size distribution, reaction, organic matter

content, calcium carbonate equivalent, and extractable

cations.

These data were used in the classification and

correlation of the soils and in the evaluation of their

behavior under various land uses. Three pedons were

selected as representative of their respective series

and are described in the section “Soil Series and Their

Morphology.” These series and their laboratory

identification numbers are Upshur (GR-1), Sarahsville

(GR-2), and Glenford (GR-3).

In addition to the data from Guernsey County,

laboratory data are also available for nearby counties

that have many of the same soils. All of these data are

on file at the Department of Agronomy, The Ohio State

University, Columbus, Ohio; The Ohio Department of

Natural Resources, Division of Soil and Water

Conservation, Columbus, Ohio; and the Natural

Resources Conservation Service, State Office,

Columbus, Ohio.

The system of soil classification used by the

National Cooperative Soil Survey has six categories

(Soil Survey Staff 1975, 1990). 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 23 shows the

classification of the soils in the survey area. The

categories are defined in the following paragraphs.

ORDER. Eleven 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 fine-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. 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 1990). 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 map units of each soil series are described in

the section “Detailed Soil Map Units.”

This section describes how the major factors of soil

formation have affected the soils in Guernsey County

and explains some of the processes in soil formation.

Factors of Soil Formation

Soils form through processes acting on deposited

or accumulated geologic material. The major factors in

soil formation are parent material, climate, relief, living

organisms, and time.

Climate and living organisms, particularly plants,

are active forces in soil formation. Their effect on the

parent material is modified by relief and by the length

of time that the parent material has been acted upon.

The relative importance of each factor differs from

place to place. The interaction of all five factors

generally determines the kind of soil that forms, but in

some areas one factor determines most of the soil

properties.

Parent Material

Parent material is the raw material that is acted

upon by the other soil-forming factors. It largely

determines the soil texture, which in turn affects the

permeability and available water capacity of the soil.

The soils in Guernsey County formed in different kinds

of parent material. Many formed in residuum, which is

mineral material weathered from bedrock in place, and

some formed in colluvium, which is material that

collected at the base of steep slopes as a result of

geologic erosion. Soils on flood plains formed in

alluvium deposited by flowing streams in relatively

recent times. Some soils formed, at least partially, in

loess, a silty material that was deposited by the wind.

Others formed in lacustrine, or lake bottom,

sediments. These sediments were deposited by lakes

that formed during the Ice Age when glaciers, or the

deposits they left behind, blocked streams flowing out

of the county. Coal mining activities have produced

soils that formed in spoil material from strip mines.

Residuum is the most extensive parent material in

the county. The upland soils on ridgetops and the

upper side slopes formed in residuum. Dekalb, Gilpin,

Upshur, and Westmoreland soils formed in this parent

material. Residuum derived from limestone and shale

is moderately fine textured or fine textured, and soils

formed in this parent material have a moderately fine

textured or fine textured subsoil. Residuum derived

from siltstone and fine grained sandstone is medium

textured, and soils formed in this parent material have

a medium textured or moderately fine textured subsoil.

Residuum derived from medium grained or coarse

grained sandstone is medium textured to coarse

textured, and soils formed in this parent material

reflect those textures in the subsoil.

The soils on the steeper, middle and lower parts of

hillsides show the effects of colluvial action. The soils

in these areas formed in colluvium and residuum.

Colluvium consists of soil material and rock fragments

that have been moved downhill as a result of the

combined effects of gravity, water, animals, and frost

action over long periods of time. Soils in the lower,

more concave areas are deeper because of this

downslope movement. Rock fragments are unoriented

in these colluvial areas. Brookside, Clarksburg,

Richland, and Vandalia soils formed in colluvium.

As much as 48 inches of loess overlies the

residuum in some areas of Guernsey County. In these

areas the upper part of the soils formed in loess.

Keene, Woodsfield, and Zanesville soils formed in

residuum partially capped by loess.

Lacustrine deposits are moderately extensive in the

county. These deposits have a high content of silt and

a narrow range of particle sizes because of the slow,

even deposition of sediment in relatively still water.

Fitchville, McGary, Mentor, and Vincent soils formed in

lacustrine material.

When rivers and streams flood, they deposit

alluvium along the flood plains. This material has been

washed from soils farther upstream in the watershed.

Alluvial deposits are made up of a number of thin

layers, each of which was deposited by a different

flood. Soils formed in alluvium have weakly developed

horizons since the soil forming process starts over

with each new deposition. Chagrin, Lindside, Melvin,

Orrville, Sarahsville, and Zipp soils formed in alluvium.

Areas in the county have been surface mined for

coal since the 1940s. Most of the mined areas are

unreclaimed and consist of ungraded spoil ridges and

Formation of the Soils
164 Soil Survey

highwalls. In areas reclaimed since 1972, the mine

spoil has been graded, highwalls have been backfilled,

and soil material from natural soils has been used to

cover the surface. Barkcamp, Enoch, and Morristown

soils formed in the mixture of broken bedrock and

partly weathered fine-earth material from surface

mining.

Climate

Climate influences the formation of soils in many

ways. Rainfall is the most important climatic element in

the formation of soils. Water dissolves soluble

materials and is responsible for the leaching process.

It is necessary for the growth and development of

plants, which contribute organic matter to the soil.

Frequency of rainfall causes wetting and drying cycles

favorable to the translocation of clay minerals and the

formation of soil structure, both common processes in

most of the soils in the county. Water also physically

ruptures the soil when it freezes.

Temperature is also a climatic factor that has a

great influence on the formation of soils. It exerts a

major influence on the type and quality of vegetation

that the soil can support. Chemical reactions and

weathering of primary minerals within the soil increase

as the temperature increases. Freezing and thawing

aid in the formation of soil structure.

The climate in an area the size of Guernsey County

is almost a constant factor of soil formation, but it may

be modified in and around certain soils or because of

topographic differences. For example, the lower lying

alluvial and lacustrine soils are wetter and cooler than

the soils in areas around them. South- and west-facing

slopes are generally warmer and receive more

sunlight than the soils in nearly level areas. These

contrasts account for some of the differences in

microclimates within the same general climatic region.

These differences can affect the amount of available

moisture and the quantity and quality of vegetation.

More information about the climate in Guernsey

County is available under the heading “General Nature

of the County.”

Relief

The topography of Guernsey County has a great

influence on the formation of soils. It influences soil

formation through its effect on drainage, runoff, and

erosion. If a slope is steep, more water runs off the

surface and less soaks into the soil. This results in a

decrease in the amount of clay that is translocated

within the soil profile, which is a major factor in soil

development.

Geologic erosion is a constant factor on the steeper

slopes as material is being continually removed,

exposing unweathered underlying material. Berks,

Dekalb, and Hazleton soils, which are on steep slopes,

show little internal soil development. Soils on the

gentler slopes, where water has more of a chance to

infiltrate through the soil, show a greater degree of soil

development. Glenford and Mentor soils, which are on

lacustrine terraces, are examples of these soils.

Even though soils have formed in the same kind of

parent material, they may be different because of the

influence of topography on internal drainage. For

example, Fitchville and Mentor soils both formed in the

same silty lacustrine deposits. Mentor soils are well

drained and have a water table that generally is at a

depth of more than 48 inches. Water passes through

these soils readily. Fitchville soils, which are in the

lower areas, are only somewhat poorly drained and

have a seasonal high water table within a depth of

12 inches.

Topography also has a great effect on the formation

of soils because many areas receive soil material, or

colluvium, from the steeper slopes above. Many of the

soils in the county formed in colluvium. Examples are

those in the Brookside, Clarksburg, Richland, and

Vandalia series. Also, soils that have a stony or

bouldery surface phase formed partially in colluvial

material.

Living Organisms

All living organisms, which include plants, animals,

bacteria, and fungi, play a role in the process of soil

formation. The type of vegetation under which a soil

forms has an influence on the color, structure, and

organic matter content of the soil. Soils formed under

forest vegetation generally have a lower content of

organic matter and are lighter in color than soils

formed under grass.

Most of the soils in Guernsey County formed under

hardwood forest vegetation. The well drained and

moderately well drained soils on uplands formed under

a hardwood forest consisting mainly of oaks, maples,

beech, and hickory. They include the Lowell and

Westmoreland soils. Most of the somewhat poorly

drained and poorly drained soils are dominated by

trees that can tolerate the wetness. They include the

Euclid, Holton, Melvin, Newark, Sarahsville, and Zipp

soils.

As plants grow and die, their remains are added to

the soil. Burrowing animals, earthworms, bacteria, and

fungi help to convert those raw plant remains into

organic matter. Microorganisms transform organic

matter into humus from which plants can obtain
Guernsey County, Ohio 165

nutrients. Burrowing animals and earthworms help to

make the soil more porous, and as a result, water

moves through the soil more rapidly. The burrowing of

animals also constantly mixes the soil. Worm

channels and casts are most common in the surface

layer of soils that have been limed. Crawfish channels

are in poorly drained and somewhat poorly drained

soils.

Human activities also affect soil formation.

Cultivation, surface mining, and land clearing

accelerate erosion and change soil development.

Many areas of the wetter soils, such as the Euclid,

Fitchville, and Newark soils, have been drained,

ensuring that their future formation will take place

under drier conditions. Applications of lime, fertilizer,

and other chemicals will change the soil chemistry by

neutralizing acid soil reactions and adding bases.

Time

The relative length of time the parent material is

exposed to the other soil-forming factors plays a great

role in the overall development of a soil. The age of a

soil is indicated to some extent by the degree of soil

development.

In Guernsey County, parent material has been

exposed to the soil-forming factors for various lengths

of time. For example, the Bethesda soils, which formed

in surface mine spoil, show little soil development

because their parent material was so recently exposed

to soil-forming factors, whereas the Westmoreland

soils, which formed in residuum, have strongly

expressed horizons because their parent material has

been exposed to the soil-forming factors for a long

period of time. Other young soils throughout the

county are those that formed in recent alluvium, such

as the Chagrin and Nolin soils. These soils show

minimal development because sediment continues to

be deposited on them during periods of flooding. Soils

formed in lacustrine sediments, such as the Glenford

and Mentor soils, show a high degree of soil

development. The age of these soils falls between that

of soils formed in residuum and that of soils formed in

alluvium.

Older soils also have chemical differences. Some of

the oldest soils in the county have the lowest base

saturation. They include the Allegheny and

Westmoreland soils.

Processes of Soil Formation

The process of soil formation is a complex

sequence of events. It includes additions of organic

and mineral materials to the soil as solids, liquids, and

gases; losses of these materials from the soil;

transformations of mineral and organic substances

within the soil; and translocations of materials from

one point to another within the soil (Simonson 1959).

Plants, animals, and mineral constituents are all part

of a dynamic system that helps to play a role in the

processes of soil formation.

There are several types of additions of organic or

mineral materials that affect soil formation in Guernsey

County. One of the most important is the addition of

organic matter that has been decomposed from plant

material by biologic activity. Organic matter is

responsible for the darkened color of the surface layer

as compared to that of the subsoil. Glenford,

Guernsey, and Kanawha soils have a thick, dark

surface layer that has been enriched by the

accumulation of organic matter. Soils that formed in

recently deposited mine spoil, such as those in the

Bethesda, Fairpoint, and Morristown series, have a

thin or light colored surface layer with little

accumulation of organic matter. Additions can also

come in the form of sediments being deposited during

floods or by materials eroding at one spot and being

deposited at another.

Losses or removals from the soil occur mainly as a

result of chemical changes within the soil or as a loss

of water from evapotranspiration. Nitrogen transferred

from the organic to inorganic form and the loss of

carbon as a result of the oxidation of organic matter

are chemical reactions that account for losses within

the soil. Another chemical loss occurs under saturated

conditions in the absence of oxygen. Under these

conditions iron in the soil is reduced, resulting in a

more soluble compound that is readily leached from

the subsoil. The gray subsoil or mottles in the wetter

Melvin, McGary, and Zipp soils are a result of the

removal of soluble iron under saturated conditions.

Transformations within the soil are largely mineral

transformations and the reduction of particle size by

weathering. Iron that is reduced in wetter soils can be

reoxidized when the soils are no longer saturated. This

iron is less soluble than the oxidized iron, so it

segregates to form concentrations or brighter colored

mottles. Structure and the formation of concretions are

transformations that are tied to chemical reactions.

The structure of different soils is expressed in varying

degrees, depending on the landscape position,

drainage class, and parent material of the soils.

Older soils on the more stable landscapes generally

have more strongly expressed horizonation than

that of soils on flood plains or on less stable

landscapes.

Translocation of materials generally occurs as a

result of downward movement of water carrying
166

suspended compounds and soil particles. Leaching of

calcium carbonate has occurred in many soils

throughout the county. Berks, Dekalb, Coshocton,

Wellston, Westmoreland, and Zanesville soils have

been leached free of calcium carbonate. The

translocation of silicate clays is a major morphological

feature in many of the soils in the county. Many soils

have a zone of eluviation, known as an E horizon. The

E horizon has platy structure and is lighter in color

than the B horizon, which lies directly below. The B

horizon is a zone of illuviation, or clay enrichment,

from the zone above. Soils in the county that have this

feature within their horizonation include those in the

Clarksburg, Coshocton, Elba, Fitchville, Glenford,

Guernsey, Lowell, Upshur, Westmore, Woodsfield, and

Zanesville series.

areas.

Concretions. Cemented bodies with crude internal

symmetry organized around a point, a line, or a

plane. They typically take the form of concentric

place, concretions of iron oxide or manganese

oxide are generally considered a type of

redoximorphic concentration.

fragments more than 2 millimeters in diameter. It

commonly has a matrix of sand and finer textured

material. Conglomerate is the consolidated

combination with needed cultural and

management practices. In a good conservation

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

generally a terrace, built to protect downslope

areas by diverting runoff from its natural course.

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

of maturity or soon after maturity.

Ground water. Water filling all the unblocked pores of

the material below the water table.

Gully. A miniature valley with steep sides cut by

running water and through which water ordinarily

runs only after rainfall. The distinction between a

gully and a rill is one of depth. A gully generally is

an obstacle to farm machinery and is too deep to

be obliterated by ordinary tillage; a rill is of lesser

depth and can be smoothed over by ordinary

tillage.

Hard bedrock. Bedrock that cannot be excavated

except by blasting or by the use of special

equipment that is not commonly used in

construction.

until the next crop in the rotation is established.

These crops return large amounts of organic

matter to the soil.

Hill. A natural elevation of the land surface, rising as

much as 1,000 feet above surrounding lowlands,

dependent on local usage.

Horizon, soil. A layer of soil, approximately parallel to

the surface, having distinct characteristics

produced by soil-forming processes. In the

identification of soil horizons, an uppercase letter

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
174 Soil Survey

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

horizon. The B horizon also has distinctive

characteristics, such as (1) accumulation of clay,

material is known to differ from that in the solum,

an Arabic numeral, commonly a 2, precedes the

letter C.

Cr horizon.—Soft, consolidated bedrock beneath

the soil.

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

infiltration rate and permeability after prolonged

wetting, and depth to a very slowly permeable

layer. The slope and the kind of plant cover are not

considered but are separate factors in predicting

runoff.

intervals from closely spaced field ditches and

distributed uniformly over the field.

Corrugation.—Water is applied to small, closely

spaced furrows or ditches in fields of closegrowing crops or in orchards so that it flows in only

one direction.

Drip (or trickle).—Water is applied slowly and

under low pressure to the surface of the soil or

into the soil through such applicators as emitters,

porous tubing, or perforated pipe.

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 is

accepted as a measure of this quality. In soil

physics, the rate is referred to as “saturated

hydraulic conductivity,” which is defined in the “Soil

Survey Manual.” In line with conventional usage in

the engineering profession and with traditional

usage in published soil surveys, this rate of flow

continues to be expressed as “permeability.” Terms

describing permeability, measured in inches per

hour, are as follows:

Extremely slow ................................. 0.0 to 0.01 inch

Very slow ........................................ 0.01 to 0.06 inch

Slow .................................................. 0.06 to 0.2 inch

Moderately slow ................................. 0.2 to 0.6 inch

vigor and reproduction capacity of the key plants

and promotes the accumulation of litter and mulch

necessary to conserve soil and water.

surfaces on the steeper slopes; on faces of blocks,

prisms, and columns; and in swelling clayey soils,

where there is marked change in moisture

content.

Slippage (in tables). Soil mass susceptible to

movement downslope when loaded, excavated, or

wet.

Slope. The inclination of the land surface from the

horizontal. Percentage of slope is the vertical

plant and animal activities are largely confined to

the solum.
Guernsey County, Ohio 179

Stone line. A concentration of coarse fragments in a

particles into compound particles or aggregates.

The principal forms of soil structure are—platy

(laminated), prismatic (vertical axis of aggregates

longer than horizontal), columnar (prisms with

rounded tops), blocky (angular or subangular),

and granular. Structureless soils are either single

grained (each grain by itself, as in dune sand) or

massive (the particles adhering without any

regular cleavage, as in many hardpans).

Stubble mulch. Stubble or other crop residue left on

the soil or partly worked into the soil. It protects

the soil from wind erosion and water erosion after

harvest, during preparation of a seedbed for the

next crop, and during the early growing period of

the new crop.

Subsoil. Technically, the B horizon; roughly, the part of

the solum below plow depth.

Subsoiling. Tilling a soil below normal plow depth,

ordinarily to shatter a hardpan or claypan.

Substratum. The part of the soil below the solum.

Subsurface layer. Any surface soil horizon (A, E, AB,

or EB) below the surface layer.

Summit. The topographically highest position of a

hillslope. It has a nearly level (planar or only

slightly convex) surface.

Surface layer. The soil ordinarily moved in tillage, or

its equivalent in uncultivated soil, ranging in depth

from 4 to 10 inches (10 to 25 centimeters).

Frequently designated as the “plow layer,” or the

“Ap horizon.”

Surface soil. The A, E, AB, and EB horizons,

considered collectively. It includes all subdivisions

of these horizons.

Terrace. An embankment, or ridge, constructed

across sloping soils on the contour or at a slight

angle to the contour. The terrace intercepts

surface runoff so that water soaks into the soil or

flows slowly to a prepared outlet. A terrace in a

field generally is built so that the field can be

farmed. A terrace intended mainly for drainage

has a deep channel that is maintained in

permanent sod.

Terrace (geologic). An old alluvial plain, ordinarily flat

or undulating, bordering a river, a lake, or the sea.

Texture, soil. The relative proportions of sand, silt,

and clay particles in a mass of soil. The basic

textural classes, in order of increasing proportion

of fine particles, are sand, loamy sand, sandy

loam, loam, silt loam, silt, sandy clay loam, clay

loam, silty clay loam, sandy clay, silty clay, and

clay. The sand, loamy sand, and sandy loam

classes may be further divided by specifying

“coarse,” “fine,” or “very fine.”

Thin layer (in tables). Otherwise suitable soil material

that is too thin for the specified use.

Till plain. An extensive area of nearly level to

undulating soils underlain by glacial till.

Tilth, soil. The physical condition of the soil as related

to tillage, seedbed preparation, seedling

emergence, and root penetration.

Toeslope. The position that forms the gently inclined

surface at the base of a hillslope. Toeslopes in

profile are commonly gentle and linear and are

constructional surfaces forming the lower part of a

hillslope continuum that grades to valley or closeddepression floors.

Topsoil. The upper part of the soil, which is the most

favorable material for plant growth. It is ordinarily

rich in organic matter and is used to topdress

roadbanks, lawns, and land affected by mining.

Trace elements. Chemical elements, for example,

zinc, cobalt, manganese, copper, and iron, in soils

in extremely small amounts. They are essential to

plant growth.

Unstable fill (in tables). Risk of caving or sloughing on

banks of fill material.

Upland. Land at a higher elevation, in general, than

the alluvial plain or stream terrace; land above the

lowlands along streams.

Valley fill. In glaciated regions, material deposited in

stream valleys by glacial meltwater. In

nonglaciated regions, alluvium deposited by

heavily loaded streams.

Variegation. Refers to patterns of contrasting colors

assumed to be inherited from the parent material

rather than to be the result of poor drainage.

Varve. A sedimentary layer or a lamina or sequence of

laminae deposited in a body of still water within a

year. Specifically, a thin pair of graded

glaciolacustrine layers seasonally deposited,
180

usually by meltwater streams, in a glacial

lake or other body of still water in front of a

glacier.

Water bars. Smooth, shallow ditches or depressional

areas that are excavated at an angle across a

sloping road. They are used to reduce the

downward velocity of water and divert it off and

away from the road surface. Water bars can easily

be driven over if constructed properly.

Weathering. All physical and chemical changes

produced in rocks or other deposits at or near the

earth’s surface by atmospheric agents. These

changes result in disintegration and

decomposition of the material.

Well graded. Refers to soil material consisting of

coarse grained particles that are well distributed

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.

Windthrow. The uprooting and tipping over of trees by

the wind.
