Part I
3

This survey is divided into three parts. Part I includes general information about the

survey area; descriptions of the general soil map units, detailed soil map units, and soil

series in the area; and a description of how the soils formed. Part II describes the use

and management of the soils and the major soil properties. This part may be updated

as further information about soil management becomes available. Part III includes the

maps.

On the general soil map, the survey area is 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 units in the area on the color-coded map legend, then refer to the

section General Soil Map Units in Part I of this survey for a general description of the

soils in your area.

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 in Part I of this survey, which lists the map units by

symbol and name and shows the page where each map unit is described.

The Contents shows which table has data on a specific land use for each detailed

soil map unit. Also, see the Contents in Part I and Part II for other sections of this

publication that may address your specific needs.

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 November 1993. Soil names

and descriptions were approved in April 1995. Unless otherwise indicated, statements

in this publication refer to conditions in the survey area in 1993. This survey was made

cooperatively by the Natural Resources Conservation Service and the Minnesota

Agricultural Experiment Station. It is part of the technical assistance furnished to the

Renville County Soil and Water Conservation District. The survey was partially funded

by the Legislative Commission for Minnesota Resources and by Renville County. Other

assistance was provided by the Agricultural Extension Service, the Minnesota

Department of Natural Resources, and the Board of Water and Soil Resources.

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 can be used in land-planning programs in

Renville County, Minnesota. It contains predictions of soil behavior for selected land

uses. The survey also highlights limitations and hazards inherent in the soil,

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.

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.

How This Survey Was Made

This survey was made to provide information about

the soils and miscellaneous areas in the survey area.

The information includes a description of the soils and

miscellaneous areas and their location and a

discussion of their suitability, limitations, and

management for specified uses. Soil scientists

observed the steepness, length, and shape of the

slopes; the general pattern of drainage; the kinds of

crops and native plants; and the kinds of bedrock.

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

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

The profile extends from the surface down into the

unconsolidated material in which the soil formed. The

unconsolidated material is devoid of roots and other

living organisms and has not been changed by other

biological activity.

The soils and miscellaneous areas in the 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 and

miscellaneous area is associated with a particular

kind or segment of the landscape. By observing the

soils and miscellaneous areas in the survey area and

relating their position to specific segments of the

landscape, soil scientists develop a concept, or

model, of how the soils were formed. Thus, during

mapping, this model enables the soil scientists to

predict with a considerable degree of accuracy the

kind of soil or miscellaneous area at a specific

location on the landscape.

Individual soils on the landscape commonly merge

into one another as their characteristics gradually

change. To construct an accurate 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.

Soil scientists recorded the characteristics of the

soil profiles that they studied. They noted color,

texture, size, and shape of soil aggregates, kind and

amount of rock fragments, distribution of plant roots,

soil reaction, and other features that enable them to

identify soils. After describing the soils in the survey

area and determining their properties, the soil

scientists assigned the soils to taxonomic classes

(units). Taxonomic classes are concepts. Each

taxonomic class has a set of soil characteristics with

precisely defined limits. The classes are used as a

basis for comparison to classify soils systematically.

Soil taxonomy, the system of taxonomic classification

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

and character of soil properties and the arrangement

of horizons within the profile. After the soil scientists

classified and named the soils in the survey area,

they compared the individual soils with similar soils in

the same taxonomic class in other areas so that they

could confirm data and assemble additional data

based on experience and research.

While a soil survey is in progress, samples of some

of the soils in the area generally are collected for

laboratory analyses and for engineering tests. Soil

scientists interpret the data from these analyses and

tests as well as the field-observed characteristics and

the soil properties to determine the expected behavior

of the soils under different uses. Interpretations for all

of the soils are field tested through observation of the

soils in different uses and under different levels of

management. Some interpretations are modified to fit

local conditions, and some new interpretations are

developed to meet local needs. Data are assembled

from other sources, such as research information,

production records, and field experience of specialists.

For example, data on crop yields under defined levels

of management are assembled from farm records and

from field or plot experiments on the same kinds of

soil.

Predictions about soil behavior are based not only

on soil properties but also on such variables as

climate and biological activity. Soil conditions are

predictable over long periods of time, but they are not

predictable from year to year. For example, soil

scientists can predict with a fairly high degree of

accuracy that a given soil will have a high water table

within certain depths in most years, but they cannot

predict that a high water table will always be at a

specific level in the soil on a specific date.

After soil scientists located and identified the

significant natural bodies of soil in the survey area,

they drew the boundaries of these bodies on aerial

photographs and identified each as a specific map

unit. Aerial photographs show trees, buildings, fields,

roads, and rivers, all of which help in locating

boundaries accurately.

The descriptions, names, and delineations of the

soils in this survey area do not fully agree with those

of the soils in adjacent survey areas. Differences are

the result of a better knowledge of soils, modifications

in series concepts, or variations in the intensity of

mapping or in the extent of the soils in the survey

areas.

General Nature of the Survey Area

Renville County is in the west-central part of

Minnesota. It has a total land area of 632,100 acres.

Of this total, 2,200 acres is made up of bodies of

water. In 1990, the population of the county was

17,673. Olivia, the county seat, had a population of

2,623. Other cities and towns in the county are

Bechyn, Bird Island, Buffalo Lake, Danube, Fairfax,

Franklin, Hector, Morton, Renville, and Sacred Heart.

History

Renville County was named after Joseph Renville.

Joseph Renville was born in 1779 at the Dakota

village of Kaposia, near the site of the present city of

South St. Paul (Curtiss-Wedge, 1916). His mother

was a member of the Dakota tribe, and his father was

a French Canadian fur trader. During the War of 1812,

Renville commanded a company of Dakota and fought

against the Americans. After the war, he returned to

the Minnesota River Valley and established a trading

post at Lac qui Parle, where he died in 1846

(Burnquist, 1924).

Renville County was once part of Wabasha County,

which encompassed the southern half of Minnesota.

The Territorial Legislature established Renville County

in February of 1855. The original boundaries of

Renville County also included the two southern

townships of Meeker County, the four southern

townships of Kandiyohi County, and several townships

of Chippewa County (Curtiss-Wedge, 1916).

In 1862, settlement in the county suffered a severe

setback because of a Dakota uprising. As a result of

treaties, the Dakota had been confined to a

reservation along the Minnesota River and were

dependent on annuity payments from the U.S.

Government. When the payments did not arrive in

1862, the accumulated frustration of being pushed

from the land poured out in the uprising, during which

many settlers in Renville County were killed and much

property was damaged. The Dakota suffered unknown

casualties and lost most of their reservation land as a

result of the uprising.

In 1866, the county was reorganized and the

county seat was located at Beaver Falls (CurtissWedge, 1916). Before the railroads were built, most

settlement was confined to areas close to the

Minnesota River. With the introduction of the railroad

in the late 1870’s, towns started to spring up in the

northern one-third of the county. In 1900, the county

seat was moved from Beaver Falls to Olivia

(Burnquist, 1924).

Since the 1860’s, Renville County has been

transformed from open prairie to an intensively

developed agricultural area. More than 1,100 miles of

open ditches and immeasurable miles of tile lines

drain the county, thus increasing agricultural

production.
Renville County, Minnesota—Part I 13

Farming

About 90 percent of Renville County is farmland.

The number of farms is decreasing, but the average

farm size is increasing. The number of farms

decreased from a high of 2,170 in 1976 to 1,630 in

1987. The average farm size increased from 291

acres in 1976 to 374 acres in 1987 (Minnesota Crop

and Livestock Reporting Service, 1977 and 1989).

Most of the land was bought or rented by farmers and

is still in use. The major crops are corn and soybeans.

Minor acreages of sugar beets and wheat are grown,

and specialty crops include sweet corn and peas.

Most of the farms that once had dairy enterprises

now grow cash crops. The major livestock enterprise

is raising hogs. In 1990, there were about 133,400

hogs in the county (Minnesota Crop and Livestock

Reporting Service, 1990). In recent years, there has

been an increase in the production of turkeys.

Transportation Facilities

The major highways in the county are U.S.

Highways 71 and 212 and State Highways 4, 19, and

23. Twenty-one county highways are blacktopped.

Graveled or paved county and township roads serve

the rural areas. One railway in the northern part of the

county serves Buffalo Lake, Hector, Bird Island,

Olivia, Danube, Renville, and Sacred Heart. Another

railway in the southern part of the county serves

Fairfax, Franklin, and Morton.

Livestock and turkeys are generally shipped to

market by truck. Most of the milk produced in the

county is shipped by truck to processing plants. Grain

elevators are located in most of the towns in the

county. Corn and soybeans are processed in

Minneapolis or sold out of state. Sweet corn is

processed in Olivia or in canneries in the surrounding

counties. Sugar beets are shipped to a processing

plant near Renville.

Gneiss and granite bedrock is quarried near

Morton and shipped throughout the United States for

monumental stone use and other purposes.

Physiography, Drainage, and Geology

Renville County is part of the Olivia Till Plain

formed by the Des Moines Lobe advance during the

Wisconsin Age (Wright, 1972a). The surface of the

county is nearly level or gently sloping. The

topography is steeper near the Minnesota River and

along its tributaries. The highest point in the county,

which is in Osceola Township, is 1,125 feet above sea

level. The lowest point is 800 feet above sea level. It is

in an area along the Minnesota River near the

Renville-Nicollet county line in Camp Township. The

county has an average elevation of 1,050 to 1,100

feet.

The drainage network in the county started to form

approximately 12,000 years ago as glacial ice began

to melt (Wright, 1972b). Most drainage channels are

weakly cut and have a low gradient. Much of this

network has been supplemented by county and field

ditches and tile lines throughout the county.

The county has 15 watersheds, 12 of which

originate within the county. The main watersheds that

flow into the Minnesota River are Limbo Creek,

Sacred Heart Creek, Hawk Creek, and Chetomba

Creek in the northwest; Beaver Creek and Birch

Cooley Creek in the south and south-central parts of

the county; and Fort Ridgely Creek and Rock Creek in

the southeast. Hawk Creek and Chetomba Creek

drain from Chippewa and Kandiyohi Counties. The

main watersheds that flow into the Mississippi River

are Buffalo Creek in the north-central part of the

county and the South Fork of the Crow River in the

northeast. Both watersheds drain from Kandiyohi

County.

Precambrian metamorphic and igneous rocks,

mainly gneiss and granite, form the lowermost

geologic unit in Renville County. Outcrops of gneiss

and granite bedrock occur only in the valley of the

Minnesota River. The rock exposures were created by

high-volume water discharges from Glacial Lake

Agassiz. These water discharges resulted in the

formation of Glacial River Warren, which is the

presentday Minnesota River. They also resulted in the

downcutting of the landscape to expose Precambrian

bedrock (Matsch, 1972) in the Minnesota River Valley.

This unit covers about 1 percent of the county.

Glacial sediments of the Pleistocene Epoch

covered the entire county. They form the uppermost

geologic unit in the county. As the glaciers melted,

they left behind a variety of deposits. These deposits

include till, glaciolacustrine deposits, and glacial

outwash. Four kinds of till are recognized in Renville

County. They are identified as Kandiyohi, Hawk Creek,

Granite Falls, and New Ulm Tills. Only two of the tills,

Kandiyohi and New Ulm, have provided parent

material for the formation of soils in the survey area.

The Kandiyohi Till, in the northeastern part of the

county, is thought to be of Pre-Wisconsin age

(Giencke and others, 1983-84). Evidence suggests

that this till was buried and later thrust to the surface

during the advance of the Wisconsin Age ice lobes.

The general characteristics of this till are a clay or

clay loam texture, a significant content of shale

fragments, moderate amounts of carbonate, and a
14 Soil Survey of

high bulk density (Crum and Rust, 1986). Two theories

have been proposed as to why this older till has not

been covered by more recent advances. The older till

is presently exposed either because it was protected

by stagnant ice or because the ice of the more recent

advances was very clean and nearly devoid of till

(Crum and Rust, 1986). The Corvuso-Lura-Cosmos

association, which is described under the heading

“General Soil Map Units,” includes areas of this till.

The till covers about 5 percent of the county.

The Hawk Creek Till was deposited early in the

Wisconsin advance of the Superior Lobe. This till is

exposed as outcrops on side slopes in several places

along the present Hawk Creek drainage system. It is

distinguished from other deposits by its sandy texture,

pink to reddish-brown color, and rock types from the

Lake Superior Region (Matsch and others, 1972).

The Granite Falls Till overlies the Hawk Creek Till.

Exposures of Granite Falls Till can be seen along

tributary streams of the Minnesota River. The most

distinctive characteristic of this till is the absence of

shale or shale in only small amounts (1 to 5 percent).

Small granitic rocks and carbonates make up the rock

fragment content. Textures range from sandy loam to

clay loam (Matsch and others, 1972).

The uppermost till is the New Ulm Till of the Des

Moines Lobe. It is characterized by abundant shale

fragments, appreciable amounts of carbonates, and

granitic rocks. Textures of the most recent till range

from loam to clay loam (Matsch, 1972). In places, a

stone line or “boulder pavement” separates the New

Ulm Till from the Granite Falls Till. The stone line

between the tills is generally one stone thick and is

composed of igneous or limestone rocks (Matsch and

others, 1972). This glacial drift covers about 76

percent of the county.

A shallow temporary glacial lake, Glacial Lake

Benson, covered portions of the northwestern part of

the county. Glacial Lake Benson had an approximate

depth of 50 feet and a shoreline elevation of 1,050

feet (Diedrick and Rust, 1975). The silty glacial lake

sediment is thickest in the low areas of the plain. It

covers about 12 percent of the county. Glacial

outwash and meltwater channel deposits of sand and

gravel cover about 2 percent of the county. They are in

areas along most of the creeks in the county. Alluvium

derived from the glacial drift and deposited on flood

plains is the most recent geologic deposit. It covers

about 4 percent of the county.

Climate

The three tables at the end of this section give

climate data for the survey area as recorded at

Stewart in the period 1961 to 1990.

In winter, the average temperature is 15 degrees F

and the average daily minimum temperature is 6

degrees. The lowest temperature on record, which

occurred at Stewart on January 9, 1975, is -35

degrees. In summer, the average temperature is 70

degrees and the average daily maximum temperature

is 82 degrees. The highest temperature, which

occurred at Stewart on August 1, 1988, is 106

degrees.

Growing degree days 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 (40 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 28.31 inches.

Of this, about 20.58 inches, or 73 percent, usually

falls in April through September. The growing season

for most crops falls within this period. The heaviest 1-

day rainfall on record was 4 inches at Stewart on June

21, 1957. Thunderstorms occur on about 38 days

each year, and most occur in July.

The average seasonal snowfall is 45.1 inches. The

greatest snow depth at any one time during the period

of record was 39 inches. On an average, 15 days of

the year have at least 1 inch of snow on the ground.

The heaviest 1-day snowfall on record was 12 inches.

The average relative humidity in midafternoon is

about 59 percent. Humidity is higher at night, and the

average at dawn is about 78 percent. The sun shines

69 percent of the time possible in summer and 51

percent in winter. The prevailing wind is from the

northwest. Average windspeed is highest, 12 miles

per hour, in April.

The general soil map shows broad areas that have

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

map unit on the general soil map is a unique natural

landscape. Typically, it 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 soils or miscellaneous

areas making up 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 or miscellaneous areas can be

identified on the map. Likewise, areas that 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 map unit differ from

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

characteristics that affect management.

The general map units in this survey have been

grouped for broad interpretive purposes. Each of the

broad groups and the map units in each group are

described on the following pages.

This section relates the soils in the survey area to

the major factors of soil formation and describes the

system of soil classification.

Factors of Soil Formation

Soils are formed by processes generated by the

interaction of five major factors. The characteristics of

the soil at any given point are determined by the

physical and mineralogical composition of the parent

material; the climate under which the soil material has

accumulated and existed since accumulation; the

plant and animal life on and in the soil; the relief

(landscape setting); and the length of time that the

processes of soil formation have acted on the soil

material (Jenny, 1941). The factors of soil formation

are so closely interrelated that the effects of any one

factor cannot be easily determined unless conditions

are specified for the other factors.

Climate

Climate is an important factor in determining the

kind of vegetation, animals, bacteria, and other

organisms in or on the soil. It determines the intensity

of physical and chemical activities in the soil, mainly

through the effects of precipitation and temperature.

Renville County has a subhumid, midcontinental

climate characterized by cold winters and hot

summers. Freezing of the soil in the winter slows the

soil-forming processes. Alternate periods of freezing

and thawing, especially in the spring, play a role in the

development of soil structure. Freezing and thawing

also help to disintegrate parts of glacial debris, and

frost heaving helps to mix the soil material.

Precipitation during the frost-free period transfers

water-soluble and colloidal material down through the

soil.

To a large extent, climate was responsible for the

growth of prairie vegetation. As a result of this plant

cover, the soils have a dark surface layer. Prairie

vegetation and cool temperatures promote the

accumulation of organic matter, and most of the soils

in the county have a high content of organic matter.

Living Organisms

Plants, animals, bacteria, and other organisms are

active factors of soil formation. They aid in the

breakdown of parent material and in the formation

and decomposition of organic matter. Vegetation

affects soil formation by leaving plant residue on the

soil and by transferring plant nutrients from the

subsoil to the surface layer.

Native vegetation in Renville County was

dominantly tall and mid prairie grasses. The main

grasses on the uplands were bluestems, indiangrass,

and sideoats grama. Wet areas supported prairie

cordgrass, reedgrass, and sedges. Some scattered

areas were forested. The most common tree species

in the forested areas were oak, elm, and ash.

Animals also affect soil formation. Earthworms eat

decomposed plant matter and mix it with the soil.

Channels created by earthworms provide aeration

and water movement through the soil profile. Larger

animals also mix the soil by burrowing. Human

activities have influenced some of the soil-forming

processes. Because of farming, accelerated erosion

of the surface layer has occurred in the more sloping

areas. In some areas the natural granular structure of

the surface soil under native vegetation has become

blocky or cloddy because of cultivation. Artificial

drainage has changed the moisture condition of many

soils.

Relief

Relief and landscape position are important factors

in the formation of soils. Relief affects erosion, the

distribution of water, the movement of parent material,

soil moisture, and soil temperature. The more sloping

soils are generally better drained and less extensively

leached than the nearly level or concave soils

because more water runs off the surface. The well

drained Ves soils are examples. They are well aerated

and have bright internal colors because of oxidation.

Okoboji and other soils in depressional areas

commonly are characterized by slow internal water

movement and a high water table. They have a thicker

and darker surface layer that has a higher content of

Formation and Classification of the Soils

organic matter than the surface layer of better drained

soils. Also, the subsoil has a dull grayish color and is

mottled. In gently sloping areas where internal

drainage is good, soil profiles generally are strongly

developed and extend to a greater depth than those in

the steeper areas.

The degree of profile development is mostly a

function of the amount of water passing through the

soil. Aspect affects the temperature of the soil. Southfacing slopes are warmer and drier than north-facing

slopes. Consequently, vegetation commonly is more

sparse on south-facing slopes.

Parent Material

The soils in Renville County formed mainly in till, till

mantled with glaciolacustrine deposits, glacial

outwash, or alluvium. A small percentage of the soils

in the survey area formed in coprogenous earth,

organic deposits, or material weathered from gneiss

or granitic bedrock.

The most common parent material in the survey

area is till. It was deposited by ice as an unsorted

mixture of clay, silt, sand, pebbles, and rocks. Most of

the till in the survey area was deposited about 12,000

years ago (Wright, 1972b). Canisteo, Clarion, Nicollet,

and Webster soils are some of the principal soils in

the county that formed in till.

In the northwestern part of the county, a silty

glaciolacustrine mantle of varying thickness overlies

the till. Chetomba, Okoboji, and Prinsburg soils

formed in thick glaciolacustrine deposits. Crooksford

and Louris soils formed in the thin mantle of

glaciolacustrine deposits overlying the till.

As glacial ice began to melt, large amounts of

water flowed across the survey area. This meltwater

carried tons of soil material with it. As the volume of

water decreased, the coarser material settled first.

This material, mainly sand and gravel, is called glacial

outwash. Soils that formed in glacial outwash include

Estherville, Dickinson, and Wadena soils. Some of

these soils are distant from presentday watercourses.

In areas where the water flow was fast, low-gradient

channels were created within the outwash. Soils that

formed in these meltwater channels include Biscay

and Mayer soils.

The presentday rivers in the county still carry some

material as they constantly cut at streambanks. This

parent material, called alluvium, is deposited on flood

plains as the water volume decreases. Alluvium is

generally finer textured than outwash and in most

cases is much younger. Soils that formed in alluvium

include Calco, Du Page, Havelock, and Minneiska

soils.

Time

Soil characteristics are affected by the length of

time involved in the soil-forming processes. The age

of the soil is evidenced by changes in the morphology

or appearance of the profile. In areas where relief and

drainage are favorable, enough time has elapsed for

the development of mature soil profiles. Soils on steep

slopes have immature or thin profiles because the

soil-forming processes have not been effective. Soils

that formed in alluvium along streams and rivers are

immature or weakly developed because the alluvial

material is young. Because fresh deposits are added

to the surface when the streams and rivers overflow,

distinct, mature horizons have not had time to

develop.

The soils in Renville County are geologically young.

The parent material of most of the soils was

deposited during or after the last glacial period, which

ended only about 12,000 years ago (Wright, 1972b).

A young soil has more natural plant nutrients and

commonly is more fertile than an older soil. It has

many of the properties of the parent material because

the processes of soil formation have not had time to

alter the material to any significant extent.

Classification of the Soils

The system of soil classification used by the

National Cooperative Soil Survey has six categories

(USDA, 1975). 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.

The table “Classification of the Soils” in Parts I and II

of this publication 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 Mollisol.

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

Aquoll (Aqu, meaning water, plus oll, from Mollisol).

GREAT GROUP. Each suborder is divided into

great groups on the basis of close similarities in kind,
Renville County, Minnesota—Part I 27

arrangement, and degree of development of

pedogenic horizons; soil moisture and temperature

regimes; 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

Endoaquolls (Endo, meaning within, plus aquoll, the

suborder of the Mollisols that has an aquic moisture

regime).

SUBGROUP. Each great group has a typic

subgroup. Other subgroups are intergrades or

extragrades. The typic 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 known kind of soil.

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 Endoaquolls.

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 class,

mineral content, temperature regime, thickness of the

root zone, consistence, moisture equivalent, slope,

and permanent cracks. 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 Endoaquolls.

SERIES. The series consists of soils that have

similar horizons in their profile. The horizons are

similar in color, texture, structure, reaction,

consistence, mineral and chemical composition, and

arrangement in the profile. The texture of the surface

layer or of the substratum can differ within a series.

In this section, arranged in alphabetical order, each

soil series recognized in the survey area is described.

Each series description is followed by descriptions of

the associated detailed soil map units.

Characteristics of the soil and the material in which

it formed are identified for each soil 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” (USDA, 1993).

Many of the technical terms used in the descriptions

are defined in “Soil Taxonomy” (USDA, 1975). Unless

otherwise stated, 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 on the detailed 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. More information about each

map unit is given in Part II of this survey.

A map unit delineation on the detailed soil maps

represents an area on the landscape and consists of

one or more soils 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 and miscellaneous areas 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 segments that have similar use and

management requirements. The delineation of such

landscape segments on the map provides sufficient

information for the development of resource plans, but

if intensive use of small areas is planned, 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. The principal

hazards and limitations to be considered in planning

for specific uses are described in Part II of this survey.

Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make

up a soil series. Except for differences in texture of

the surface layer or of the underlying layers, 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 or of the underlying layers. They also

can differ in slope, stoniness, salinity, wetness, degree

of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their

use. On the basis of such differences, a soil series is

Soil Series and Detailed Soil Map Units
32 Soil Survey of

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,

Dickman sandy loam, 2 to 6 percent slopes, is a

phase of the Dickman series.

Some map units are made up of two or more major

soils or miscellaneous areas. These map units are

complexes or undifferentiated groups.

A complex consists of two or more soils 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. Canisteo-Glencoe,

depressional, complex, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an

example.

An undifferentiated group is made up of two or

more soils or miscellaneous areas that could be

mapped individually but are mapped as one unit

because similar interpretations can be made for use

and management. The pattern and proportion of the

soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not

uniform. An area can be made up of only one of the

major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it can be made

up of all of them. Klossner, Okoboji, and Glencoe

soils, ponded, 0 to 1 percent slopes, is an

undifferentiated group in this survey area.

This survey includes miscellaneous areas. Such

areas have little or no soil material and support little or

no vegetation. The Pits, gravel, component in the map

unit Pits, gravel-Udipsamments complex is an

example.

The table “Acreage and Proportionate Extent of the

Soils” in Parts I and II of this survey gives the acreage

and proportionate extent of each map unit. Other

tables (see Contents) 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.

Interpretive ratings help engineers, planners, and

others understand how soil properties influence

important nonagricultural uses, such as building site

development and construction materials. The ratings

indicate the most restrictive soil features affecting the

suitability of the soils for these uses.

Soils are rated in their natural state. No unusual

modification of the soil site or material is made other

than that which is considered normal practice for the

rated use. Even though soils may have limitations, it is

important to remember that engineers and others can

modify soil features or can design or adjust the plans

for a structure to compensate for most of the

limitations. Most of these practices, however, are

costly. The final decision in selecting a site for a

particular use generally involves weighing the costs of

site preparation and maintenance.

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 classification and extent of the soils in this

survey area are shown in the tables “Classification of

the Soils” and “Acreage and Proportionate Extent of

the Soils,” which are at the end of this section.

General management needed for crops and for hay

and pasture is suggested in this section. The system

of land capability classification used by the Natural

Resources Conservation Service is explained, and the

estimated yields of the main crops and hay and

pasture plants are listed for each soil.

Planners of management systems for individual

fields or farms should consider obtaining specific

information from the local office of the Natural

Resources Conservation Service or the Cooperative

Extension Service.

Crops and Pasture

In 1991, approximately 566,000 acres in the county

was used as cropland. Major crops include corn;

soybeans; small grain, such as wheat and oats; and

sugar beets. Of the total acreage used as cropland,

234,400 acres was used for soybeans; 214,500 acres

for corn; 31,900 acres for sugar beets; 30,500 acres

for sweet corn and peas; 18,500 acres for wheat and

oats; 12,100 acres for dry edible beans; and 10,800

acres for hay (Minnesota Crop and Livestock

Reporting Service, 1990). The remaining 13,300

acres was used for various other crops. Over the past

10 years, the acreage used for row crops has

increased by about 20 percent. Most of this additional

acreage was formerly used for the production of small

grain.

The hazard of water erosion is an important

management concern on many of the soils suitable

for cropland in Renville County. The rate at which any

soil erodes depends on many factors, including the

gradient and length of slopes, soil texture, type and

amount of vegetative cover, and climate. Over time,

soil moves from high landscape positions to lower

ones. As a result, soils on shoulders and back slopes,

such as Clarion and Ves soils, generally have a

thinner surface layer than soils on foot slopes and toe

slopes, such as Delft and Terril soils. Erosion is

greatly accelerated if the protective vegetative cover is

removed and if poor management practices are

applied, such as using clean tillage methods and

operating machinery up and down the slopes.

The rapid loss of topsoil is damaging for three

reasons. First, productivity is lost when nutrients and

organic matter are removed. Replacing these

elements is costly but is necessary to maintain yields.

Second, the loss of organic matter and the

incorporation of subsoil material into the tillage zone

results in poor tilth, reduces the rate of water

infiltration, and reduces the exchange of air within the

soil. Third, water erosion on farmland causes

sedimentation of rivers and streams. Controlling

erosion minimizes this pollution and improves the

quality of water for recreational uses and for fish and

wildlife.

Water erosion is a major problem on the sloping

soils, such as Storden, Swanlake, Ves, and Clarion

soils. Measures that reduce the runoff rate and

increase the rate of water infiltration are needed to

control water erosion. Examples are terraces,

stripcropping, contour farming, grassed waterways,

water- and sediment-control basins, conservation

tillage, and crop residue management. Including

legumes and grasses in the cropping sequence also

reduces the hazard of erosion and increases the

amount of nitrogen in the soil for the following crop.

Not all practices are equally suited to all soil types,

and a combination of practices commonly is needed.

Wind erosion occurs throughout the county but is

most severe on coarse textured soils, such as

Dickman and Estherville soils, and on soils that have

a surface layer of muck, such as the Klossner and

Muskego soils that have been drained and cultivated.

Conservation tillage, crop residue management, field

windbreaks, and winter cover crops help to control

wind erosion.

Soil wetness is a major limitation on a large

percentage of the soils in the county. Many soils are

naturally so wet that the production of the commonly

grown crops is not possible unless an artificial

drainage system is installed. An extensive system of

surface ditches that includes county, judicial, and

private ditches has improved drainage. Removing

excess water improves root development and allows

the soil to warm up earlier in the spring.

Improved drainage is beneficial on poorly drained

and very poorly drained soils, such as Canisteo,

Glencoe, Okoboji, and Webster soils. Any drainage

Agronomy
126 Soil Survey of

work should comply with Minnesota State Wetland

Conservation Act laws and with Federal Farm

Security Act and Food and Commodities Trade Act

guidelines.

Droughtiness is a limitation in some areas,

including areas of Dickman, Estherville, and Hawick

soils. Conservation tillage, no-till planting,

stripcropping, timely tillage, and a cropping system

that includes grasses and legumes reduce the rates

of evaporation and runoff and increase the available

water capacity. Also, crops that have a relatively deep

root zone, require lower amounts of water, or mature

early may be selected. Alfalfa and wheat are

examples.

Seasonal flooding is a hazard on some soils, such

as Calco, Minneiska, and Nishna soils.

Soil fertility is naturally high in most of the soils in

the county. Crops on most of the soils respond well to

applications of fertilizer. The kinds and amounts of

fertilizer needed depend on the kind of soil, past and

present management, and the kind of crop. The soils

in Renville County have a naturally low content of

phosphorus but generally have adequate amounts of

potassium and lime. Applications of fertilizer should be

based on the results of soil tests.

Excess free carbonates are in the surface layer of

some soils, such as Harps, Louris, Seaforth, and

Leen soils. High soil pH and a high content of

carbonates inhibit a plant’s ability to take up iron. The

resulting condition is known as iron chlorosis. The

accumulation of carbonates is greatest on the rims of

depressions. These poorly drained rims act as “wicks”

by drawing water upward from the subsoil, which

contains dissolved carbonates. The carbonates are

deposited on the soil surface when the water

evaporates. They are visible as a whitish or grayish

cast on the soil surface. Careful selection of crops and

crop varieties, a good fertility program, and an

adequate drainage system are needed on these soils.

Tilth is an important factor affecting the preparation

of a desirable seedbed. Soils that have good structure

and tilth are granular and porous. Returning crop

residue to the surface and applying manure and other

organic material improve soil structure. Cultivating

moderately fine textured and fine textured soils when

they are wet damages soil structure, results in

cloddiness, and makes seedbed preparation difficult.

Some soils, such as Kandiyohi and Cosmos soils,

have a high content of clay and are easily compacted.

Tilling only at the proper moisture content helps to

prevent the formation of clods and minimizes

compaction. These soils are commonly tilled in the fall

because freezing and thawing cycles help to break up

the clods. Fall plowing, however, does not leave an

adequate crop residue on the surface and thus does

not protect the soils from wind erosion and water

erosion.

A small amount of the acreage in Renville County

is used as permanent pasture. Soils commonly used

as pasture include Storden, Swanlake, Cedarrock,

Calco, and Havelock soils. Most areas that are used

as pasture are too steep, too wet, or too shallow over

bedrock for cultivation, have large stones at or near

the surface, or are frequently flooded. High stocking

rates and overgrazing result in poor pasture

production and increase the rates of runoff and

erosion. Timely deferment of grazing, reduced

stocking rates, and pasture rotation are good pasture

management measures. Reseeding can improve

pasture species. It may be necessary in areas where

stands are weak or where more productive species

are desired. Reintroducing warm-season grasses,

such as big bluestem, little bluestem, switchgrass,

and sideoats grama, cool-season grasses, such as

Kentucky bluegrass, reed canarygrass, and smooth

bromegrass, and legumes, such as birdsfoot trefoil

and alfalfa, can help to provide full-season grazing.

Good pasture management includes controlling

weeds and applying fertilizers. The applications of

fertilizer should be based on the results of soil tests.

The Natural Resources Conservation Service, the Soil

and Water Conservation District, or the Cooperative

Extension Service can provide assistance with

species and variety selection, establishment

techniques, and management guidelines.

The management concerns affecting the use of the

detailed soil map units in the survey area for crops

are shown in the table “Cropland Management

Considerations.” The main concerns in managing

nonirrigated cropland are conserving moisture,

controlling wind erosion and water erosion, and

maintaining soil fertility.

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.

Generally, a combination of several practices is

needed to control wind erosion and water erosion.

Conservation tillage, stripcropping, field windbreaks,

contour farming, conservation cropping systems, crop

residue management, terraces, diversions, and

grassed waterways help to prevent excessive soil

loss.

Measures that are effective in maintaining soil

fertility include applying fertilizer, both organic and
Renville County, Minnesota—Part II 127

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 of the soils in the county that

are used for nonirrigated crops respond well to

applications of fertilizer.

Some of the considerations shown in the table

cannot be easily overcome. These are channels,

flooding, gullies, and ponding.

Additional considerations are as follows:

Lime content, limited available water capacity,

potential poor tilth and compaction, and restricted

permeability.—These limitations can be minimized by

incorporating green manure crops, manure, or crop

residue into the soil; applying a system of

conservation tillage; and using conservation cropping

systems. Also, crops may respond well to additions of

phosphate fertilizer to soils that have a high content of

lime.

Potential for ground-water contamination.—The

proper use of nutrients and pesticides can reduce the

risk of ground-water contamination.

Potential for surface-water contamination.—The

risk of surface-water contamination can be reduced by

the proper use of nutrients and pesticides and by

conservation farming practices that reduce the runoff

rate.

Surface crusting.—This limitation retards seedling

development after periods of heavy rainfall.

Surface rock fragments.—This limitation causes

rapid wear of tillage equipment. It cannot be easily

overcome.

Surface stones.—Stones or boulders on or near

the surface can hinder normal tillage unless they are

removed.

Salt content.—In areas where this is a limitation,

only salt-tolerant crops should be grown.

On irrigated soils the main management concerns

are efficient water use, nutrient management, control

of erosion, pest and weed control, and timely planting

and harvesting for a successful crop. An irrigation

system that provides optimum control and distribution

of water at minimum cost is needed. Overirrigation

wastes water, leaches plant nutrients, and causes

erosion. Also, it can create drainage problems, raise

the water table, and increase soil salinity.

Crop Yield Estimates

The average yields per acre that can be expected

of the principal crops under a high level of

management are shown in the table “Land Capability

and Yields per Acre of Crops and Pasture.” 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 each map unit 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 are also

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.

Pasture and Hayland Interpretations

Under good management, proper grazing is

essential for the production of high-quality forage,

stand survival, and erosion control. Proper grazing

helps plants to maintain sufficient and generally

vigorous top growth during the growing season. Brush

control is essential in many areas, and weed control

generally is needed. Rotation grazing and renovation

also are important management practices.

Yield estimates are often provided in animal unit

months (AUM), or the amount of forage or feed

required to feed one animal unit (one cow, one horse,

one mule, five sheep, or five goats) for 30 days.

The local office of the Natural Resources

Conservation Service or of the Cooperative Extension

Service can provide information about forage yields

other than those shown in the table “Land Capability

and Yields per Acre of Crops and Pasture.”

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 take into account 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 generally are

grouped at three levels—capability class, subclass,

and unit (USDA, 1961). These categories indicate the

degree and kinds of limitations affecting mechanized

farming systems that produce the more commonly

grown field crops, such as corn, small grain, cotton,

hay, and field-grown vegetables. 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.

If properly managed, soils in classes 1, 2, 3, and 4

are suitable for the mechanized production of

commonly grown field crops and for pasture and

woodland. The degree of the soil limitations affecting
Renville County, Minnesota—Part II 129

the production of cultivated crops increases

progressively from class 1 to class 4. The limitations

can affect levels of production and the risk of

permanent soil deterioration caused by erosion and

other factors.

Soils in classes 5, 6, and 7 are generally not suited

to the mechanized production of commonly grown

field crops without special management, but they are

suitable for plants that provide a permanent cover,

such as grasses and trees. The severity of the soil

limitations affecting crops increases progressively

from class 5 to class 7.

Areas in class 8 are generally not suitable for

crops, pasture, or woodland without a level of

management that is impractical. These areas may

have potential for other uses, such as recreational

facilities and wildlife habitat.

Capability subclasses identify the dominant kind of

limitation in the class. They are designated by adding

a small letter, e, w, s, or c, to the class numeral, for

example, 2e. The letter e shows that the main hazard

is the risk of erosion unless a 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.

There are no subclasses in class 1 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 mainly to pasture, rangeland, woodland, wildlife

habitat, or recreation.

The capability classification of each map unit is

given in the table “Land Capability and Yields per Acre

of Crops and Pasture” at the end of this section.

Prime Farmland

Prime farmland is of major importance in meeting

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

fiber. The acreage of high-quality farmland is limited,

and the U.S. Department of Agriculture recognizes

that government at local, State, and Federal levels, as

well as individuals, must encourage and facilitate the

wise use of our Nation’s prime farmland.

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

Department of Agriculture, are soils that are best

suited to food, feed, forage, fiber, and oilseed crops.

Such soils have properties that favor the economic

production of sustained high yields of crops. The soils

need only to be treated and managed by acceptable

farming methods. An adequate moisture supply and a

sufficiently long growing season are required. Prime

farmland soils produce the highest yields with minimal

expenditure of energy and economic resources, and

farming these soils results in the least damage to the

environment.

Prime farmland soils may presently be used as

cropland, pasture, or woodland or for other purposes.

They either are used for food and fiber or are available

for these uses. Urban or built-up land, public land, and

water areas cannot be considered prime farmland.

Urban or built-up land is any contiguous unit of land

10 acres or more in size that is used for such

purposes as housing, industrial, and commercial

sites, sites for institutions or public buildings, small

parks, golf courses, cemeteries, railroad yards,

airports, sanitary landfills, sewage treatment plants,

and water-control structures. Public land is land not

available for farming in National forests, National

parks, military reservations, and State parks.

Prime farmland soils commonly receive an

adequate and dependable supply of moisture from

precipitation or irrigation. The temperature and

growing season are favorable, and the level of acidity

or alkalinity and the content of salts and sodium are

acceptable. The soils have few, if any, rocks and are

permeable to water and air. They are not excessively

erodible or saturated with water for long periods, and

they are not frequently flooded during the growing

season or are protected from flooding. Slopes range

mainly from 0 to 6 percent.

Soils that have a high water table or are subject to

flooding may qualify as prime farmland where these

limitations are overcome by drainage measures or

flood control. Onsite evaluation is necessary to

determine the effectiveness of corrective measures.

More information about the criteria for prime farmland

can be obtained at the local office of the Natural

Resources Conservation Service.

A recent trend in land use has been the conversion

of prime farmland to urban and industrial uses. The

loss of prime farmland to other uses puts pressure on

lands that are less productive than prime farmland.

About 576,976 acres, or nearly 91.6 percent of the

survey area, meets the requirements for prime

farmland.

The map units in the survey area that meet the

requirements for prime farmland are listed in the table

“Prime Farmland.” This list does not constitute a

recommendation for a particular land use. On some

soils included in the table, measures that overcome

limitations are needed. The need for these measures
130 Soil Survey of

is indicated in parentheses after the map unit name.

The location of each map unit is shown on the

detailed soil maps. The soil qualities that affect use

and management are described in the section “Soil

Series and Detailed Soil Map Units” in Part I of this

survey.

Erosion Factors

Soil erodibility (K) and soil-loss tolerance (T)

factors are used in an equation that predicts the

amount of soil lost through water erosion in areas of

cropland. The procedure for predicting soil loss is

useful in guiding the selection of soil and water

conservation practices. The erosion factors for the

soils in the survey area are listed in the table

“Physical Properties of the Soils.”

Soil Erodibility (K) Factor

The soil erodibility (K) factor indicates the

susceptibility of a soil to sheet and rill erosion by

water. The soil properties that influence erodibility are

those that affect the infiltration rate, the movement of

water through the soil, and the water storage capacity

of the soil and those that allow the soil to resist

dispersion, splashing, abrasion, and the transporting

forces of rainfall and runoff. The most important soil

properties are the content of silt plus very fine sand,

the content of sand coarser than very fine sand, the

content of organic matter, soil structure, and

permeability.

Fragment-Free Soil Erodibility (Kf) Factor

This is one of the factors used in the revised

Universal Soil Loss Equation. It shows the erodibility

of the fine-earth fraction, or the material less than 2

millimeters in size.

Soil-Loss Tolerance (T) Factor

The soil-loss tolerance (T) factor is an estimate of

the maximum annual rate of soil erosion that can

occur over a sustained period without affecting crop

productivity. The rate is expressed in tons of soil loss

per acre per year. Ratings of 1 to 5 are used,

depending on soil properties and prior erosion. The

criteria used in assigning a T factor to a soil include

maintenance of an adequate rooting depth for crop

production, potential reduction of crop yields,

maintenance of water-control structures affected by

sedimentation, prevention of gullying, and the value of

nutrients lost through erosion.

Wind Erodibility Groups

Wind erodibility is directly related to the percentage

of dry, nonerodible surface soil aggregates larger than

0.84 millimeter in diameter. From this percentage, the

wind erodibility index (I) factor is determined. This

factor is an expression of the stability of the soil

aggregates, or the extent to which they are broken

down by tillage and the abrasion caused by windblown

soil particles. Soils are assigned to wind erodibility

groups (WEG) having similar percentages of dry soil

aggregates larger than 0.84 millimeter. The wind

erodibility groups and wind erodibility index numbers

are listed in the table “Physical Properties of the

Soils.”

Additional information about wind erodibility groups

and K, Kf, T, and I factors can be obtained from local

offices of the Natural Resources Conservation

Service or the Cooperative Extension Service.

Woodland, Windbreaks, and

Environmental Plantings

Paul Flynn, forester, Natural Resources Conservation Service,

and Thomas Kalahar and Donald Bidinger, Renville County Soil and

Water Conservation District, helped prepare this section.

Renville County has approximately 8,000 acres of

native woodland. Most of this woodland is on flood

plains associated with the Minnesota River and on the

steep slope breaks and draws adjacent to the river.

The woodland on the Minnesota River flood plain is

primarily on Bechyn, Cedarrock, Havelock, and

Minneiska soils. The woodland on the steep slope

breaks and draws adjacent to the river is primarily on

Delft, Swanlake, and Terril soils. The forest type on

the flood plains consists primarily of American elm,

silver maple, green ash, and cottonwood. Less

common species include basswood and boxelder. The

forest type on the slope breaks and draws consists

primarily of bur oak, red oak, and redcedar and lesser

amounts of boxelder, cottonwood, and woody shrubs,

such as wild plum, sumac, prickly ash, and common

chokecherry.

Early settlers used the trees for fuel, lumber, and

fenceposts. There is currently some renewed interest

in the use of trees for fuel (firewood). The principal

use of trees, however, is for protection and esthetic

purposes. Trees protect the soil, homes, domestic

livestock, wildlife, and watersheds. Windbreaks have

been planted in Renville County since the early days

of settlement. Since the 1970’s, more than 1,000,000

trees have been planted on about 2,500 acres by

county farmers and landowners with the assistance of

the Renville County Soil and Water Conservation
Renville County, Minnesota—Part II 131

District and the Natural Resources Conservation

Service. Trees and shrubs are still needed around

numerous farmsteads, and many other farmstead

plantings are in need of renovation.

Before trees are planted, the factors that should be

considered include (1) the purpose of the planting, (2)

the suitability of the soils, (3) the adaptability of the

various species of trees and shrubs, (4) the location

and design of the windbreak, and (5) the selection of

a source of hardy and adapted trees and shrubs. If

these factors are not considered, a poor or

unsuccessful planting may result. The establishment

of a windbreak or an environmental planting and the

growth of the trees and shrubs also depend on

suitable site preparation and adequate maintenance

after the trees and shrubs are planted. Grasses and

weeds should be eliminated before the planting is

made, and regrowth of competing vegetation should

be controlled throughout the life of the planting. Some

replanting of the trees and shrubs may be necessary

during the first 2 years.

The table “Woodland Management and

Productivity” can be used by woodland owners or

forest managers in planning 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. The number 1

indicates low potential productivity; 2 and 3, moderate;

4 and 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 this 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 are also 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 silvicultural activities. A rating of severe

indicates that special precautions are needed to

control erosion in most silvicultural activities.

Equipment limitation reflects the characteristics

and conditions of the soil that restrict use of the

equipment generally needed in woodland

management or harvesting. The chief characteristics

and conditions considered in the ratings are slope,

stones on the surface, rock outcrops, soil wetness,

and texture of the surface layer. A rating of slight

indicates that under normal conditions the kind of

equipment and season of use are not significantly

restricted by soil factors. Soil wetness can restrict

equipment use, but the wet period does not exceed 1

month. A rating of moderate indicates that equipment

use is moderately restricted because of one or more

soil factors. If the soil is wet, the wetness restricts

equipment use for a period of 1 to 3 months. A rating

of severe indicates that equipment use is severely

restricted either as to the kind of equipment that can

be used or the season of use. If the soil is wet, the

wetness restricts equipment use for more than 3

months.

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
132 Soil Survey of

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.

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.

Windbreaks are often planted on land that did not

originally support trees. Knowledge of how trees

perform on such land can be gained only by observing

and recording the performance of trees that have

been planted and have survived. Many popular

windbreak species are not indigenous to the areas in

which they are planted.

Each tree or shrub species has certain climatic and

physiographic limits. Within these parameters, a tree

or shrub may grow well or grow poorly, depending on

the characteristics of the soil. Each tree or shrub has

definable potential heights in a given physiographic

area and under a given climate. Accurate definitions

of potential heights are necessary when a windbreak

is planned and designed.

The table “Windbreaks and Environmental

Plantings” shows the height that locally grown trees

and shrubs are expected to reach in 20 years on

various soils. The estimates in this 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 local offices of

the Natural Resources Conservation Service or the

Cooperative Extension Service or from a nursery.

Windbreak Suitability Groups

Windbreak suitability groups consist of soils in

which the kinds and degrees of the hazards and

limitations that affect the survival and growth of trees

and shrubs in windbreaks are about the same. The

windbreak suitability group for each soil in the survey

area is listed in the table “Windbreak Suitability

Groups” at the end of this section. The following

paragraphs explain the characteristics of the soils in

each group.

Group 1 consists of soils that are somewhat poorly

drained or moderately well drained, are rapidly

permeable to moderately slowly permeable, and do

not have free carbonates in the upper 20 inches.

Group 1K consists of soils that are somewhat

poorly drained or moderately well drained, are rapidly
Renville County, Minnesota—Part II 133

permeable to moderately slowly permeable, and have

free carbonates within 20 inches of the surface. These

soils may be very slightly saline or slightly saline (the

electrical conductivity is 2 to 8).

Group 2 consists of poorly drained soils that have

been artificially drained and do not have free

carbonates in the upper 20 inches. Permeability

varies.

Group 2K consists of poorly drained or very poorly

drained soils that have been artificially drained and

have free carbonates within 20 inches of the surface.

Permeability varies. These soils may be very slightly

saline or slightly saline (the electrical conductivity is 2

to 8).

Group 2H consists of very poorly drained soils that

have been artificially drained and have more than 16

inches of organic material. Permeability varies.

Group 2W consists of very poorly drained soils that

are subject to ponding and have been artificially

drained. It includes soils that have an organic surface

layer up to 16 inches thick. Permeability varies.

Group 3 consists of soils that are well drained or

moderately well drained and are loamy or silty

throughout. Permeability is moderate or moderately

slow. These soils do not have free carbonates in the

upper 20 inches.

Group 4 consists of soils that are well drained,

moderately well drained, or somewhat poorly drained

and have a silty or loamy surface layer and a clayey

subsoil. Permeability is slow or very slow.

Group 4C consists of soils that are well drained,

moderately well drained, or somewhat poorly drained

and have a clayey surface layer and subsoil.

Permeability is slow or very slow.

Group 4F consists of soils that are well drained,

moderately well drained, or somewhat poorly drained

and have a substratum of dense till. Permeability is

slow or very slow.

Group 5 consists of soils that are excessively

drained to moderately well drained and have a

moderate available water capacity. These soils are

dominantly fine sandy loam or sandy loam, but some

are sandy in the upper part and loamy in the lower

part.

Group 6G consists of excessively drained to

moderately well drained soils that are loamy in the

upper part and have sand or sand and gravel at a

depth of 20 to 40 inches. These soils have a low or

moderate available water capacity.

Group 6D consists of excessively drained to

moderately well drained, loamy soils that have

bedrock at a depth of 20 to 40 inches. These soils

have a low or moderate available water capacity.

Group 7 consists of excessively drained to well

drained soils that are dominantly loamy fine sand or

coarser textured and are shallow to sand or to sand

and gravel. These soils have a low available water

capacity.

Group 8 consists of excessively drained to well

drained, loamy soils that have free carbonates within

20 inches of the surface.

Group 9W consists of soils that are somewhat

poorly drained, poorly drained, or very poorly drained

and are moderately saline (the electrical conductivity

is 8 to 16).

Group 10 consists of soils or miscellaneous land

types that generally are not suitable for windbreaks.

One or more characteristics, such as soil depth,

texture, wetness, available water capacity, or slope,

limit the planting, survival, or growth of trees and

shrubs.

The natural, scenic, and historic areas along the

Minnesota River provide the foremost recreational

opportunities in the county. The Minnesota River

provides fishing and boating opportunities. Boat and

canoe landings are located in several areas along the

river. There are several county parks along the

Minnesota River that allow camping or picnicking.

Additional county parks are adjacent to Beaver Falls

and Birch Cooley Creeks, and one is along Lake Allie

in the northeastern part of the county. In addition to

the Minnesota River, two lakes in the northeastern

part of the county, Lake Allie and Preston Lake, offer

fishing and boating opportunities. Winter recreational

opportunities are available for snowmobiling, crosscountry skiing, ice fishing, and hunting. Boating,

fishing, and golfing are popular in summer. Golf

courses are in Olivia, south of Fairfax, and on the

north side of Lake Allie.

The soils of the survey area are rated in the table

“Recreational Development” 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 the area, the

size and shape of the area and its scenic quality, the

ability of the soil to support vegetation, access to

water, potential water impoundment sites, and either

access to public sewer lines or the capacity of the soil

to absorb septic tank effluent. Soils subject to flooding

are limited, in varying degrees, for recreational uses

by the duration of flooding and the season when it

occurs. Onsite assessment of the height, duration,

intensity, and frequency of flooding is essential in

planning recreational facilities.

Camp areas are tracts of land used intensively as

sites for tents, trailers, and campers and for outdoor

activities that accompany such sites. These 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 soils are rated

on the basis of soil properties that influence the ease

of developing camp areas and performance of the

areas after development. Also considered are the soil

properties that influence trafficability and promote the

growth of vegetation after heavy use.

Picnic areas are natural or landscaped tracts of

land that are subject to heavy foot traffic. Most

vehicular traffic is confined to access roads and

parking areas. The soils are rated on the basis of soil

properties that influence the cost of shaping the site,

trafficability, and the growth of vegetation after

development. The surface of picnic areas should

absorb rainfall readily, remain firm under heavy foot

traffic, and not be dusty when dry.

Playgrounds are areas used intensively for

baseball, football, or similar activities. These areas

require a nearly level soil that is free of stones and

that can withstand heavy foot traffic and maintain an

adequate cover of vegetation. The soils are rated on

the basis of soil properties that influence the cost of

shaping the site, trafficability, and the growth of

vegetation. Slope and stoniness are the main

concerns in developing playgrounds. The surface of

the playgrounds should absorb rainfall readily, remain

firm under heavy foot traffic, and not be dusty when

dry.

Paths and trails are areas used for hiking and

horseback riding. The areas should require little or no

cutting and filling during site preparation. The soils are

rated on the basis of soil properties that influence

trafficability and erodibility. Paths and trails should

remain firm under foot traffic and not be dusty when

dry.

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.

The interpretive ratings in this table help engineers,

planners, and others to understand how soil

properties influence recreational uses. Ratings for

Recreation
178 Soil Survey of

proposed uses are given in terms of limitations. Only

the most restrictive features are listed. Other features

may limit a specific recreational use.

The degree of soil limitation is expressed as slight,

moderate, or severe.

Slight means that soil properties are favorable for

the rated use. The limitations are minor and can be

easily overcome. Good performance and low

maintenance are expected.

Moderate means that soil properties are

moderately favorable for the rated use. The limitations

can be overcome or modified by special planning,

design, or maintenance. During some part of the year,

the expected performance may be less desirable than

that of soils rated slight.

Severe means that soil properties are unfavorable

for the rated use. Examples of limitations are slope,

bedrock near the surface, flooding, and a seasonal

high water table. These limitations generally require

major soil reclamation, special design, or intensive

maintenance. Overcoming the limitations generally is

difficult and costly.

The information in the table “Recreational

Development” can be supplemented by other

information in this survey, for example, interpretations

for dwellings without basements and for local roads

and streets in the table “Building Site Development”

and interpretations for septic tank absorption fields in

the table “Sanitary Facilities.”

Don Schultz, area wildlife manager, Minnesota Department of

Natural Resources, and Mark Oja, biologist, Natural Resources

Conservation Service, helped prepare this section.

The soils of Renville County provide excellent

habitat for various species of wildlife. Soils vary in

their ability to produce habitat for specific kinds of

wildlife, and there is a distinct relationship between

the plants that a soil can support and the kinds of

wildlife that are associated with these plants.

Generally, soils that are the most productive for

agriculture also have the most potential for wildlife.

Intensive agriculture is the major land use in the

county, and this land use is reflected in the species of

wildlife. The once abundant pothole sloughs have

been drained and tiled for agricultural use. The

present land use pattern has reduced the pheasant

and duck populations because habitat for nesting and

winter cover has been greatly reduced.

The soils, topography, and interspersion of cover

types along the Minnesota River Valley provide good

habitat for many wildlife species, such as deer, fox,

squirrels, cottontail rabbits, pheasants, waterfowl, and

nongame species. Agriculture is limited because of

frequent flooding, rock outcrops, and steep slopes.

The potential of the soils in this area for future

development of wildlife habitat is high.

Renville County has ten State-owned wildlife

management areas, which make up about 860 acres.

These management areas provide habitat for small

game, deer, waterfowl, and upland game and

nongame wildlife. They are open to the public for

hunting and trapping. State and Federal long-term

retirement programs provide an excellent opportunity

for the reestablishment of upland and wetland wildlife

habitat in the county. As a result of the Conservation

Reserve Program, many areas of highly erodible soils

now have a protective cover of grass, which provides

habitat for wildlife.

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. If

food, cover, or water is missing, inadequate, or

inaccessible, wildlife will be scarce or will not inhabit

the area.

If the soils have potential for habitat development,

wildlife habitat can be created or improved by planting

appropriate vegetation, properly managing the

existing plant cover, and fostering the natural

establishment of desirable plants.

Elements of Wildlife Habitat

The elements of wildlife habitat are described in the

following paragraphs (see table).

Grain and seed crops are domestic grains and

seed-producing herbaceous plants used by wildlife.

Examples are corn, soybeans, wheat, oats, and

barley.

Grasses and legumes are domestic perennial

grasses and herbaceous legumes planted for wildlife

food and cover. Examples are bromegrass, timothy,

orchardgrass, clover, alfalfa, wheatgrass, and

birdsfoot trefoil.

Wild herbaceous plants are native or naturally

established grasses and forbs, including weeds, that

provide food and cover for wildlife. Examples are

bluestems, indiangrass, blueberry, goldenrod,

lambsquarters, dandelions, blackberry, ragweed,

wheatgrass, and nightshade.

The major soil properties affecting the growth of

grain and forage crops and wild herbaceous plants

are depth of the root zone, texture of the surface

layer, the amount of water available to plants,

wetness, salinity, and flooding. The length of the

growing season also is important.

Hardwood trees and woody understory produce

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

foliage that wildlife eat. Examples are oak, poplar, box

elder, birch, maple, green ash, willow, and American

elm. Examples of fruit-producing shrubs that are

suitable for planting on soils that have good potential

for these plants are hawthorn, honeysuckle, American

plum, redosier dogwood, chokecherry, highbush

cranberry, elderberry, gooseberry, serviceberry, silver

buffaloberry, and crabapple.

Coniferous plants are cone-bearing trees, shrubs,

or ground cover that provide habitat or supply food in

the form of browse, seed, or fruit-like cones.

Examples are pine, spruce, cedar, and tamarack.

The major soil properties affecting the growth of

Wildlife Habitat
190 Soil Survey of

hardwood and coniferous trees and shrubs are depth

of root zone, the amount of water available to plants,

and wetness.

Shrubs are bushy woody plants that produce fruit,

buds, twigs, bark, and foliage. Examples are

mountainmahogany, bitterbrush, snowberry, and big

sagebrush.

Wetland plants are annual and perennial wild

herbaceous plants that grow on moist or wet sites.

Submerged or floating aquatic plants are excluded.

Wetland plants produce food or cover for wetland

wildlife. Examples of these plants are smartweeds,

wild millet, rushes, sedges, bulrushes, wild rice,

arrowhead, waterplantain, cattail, prairie cordgrass,

bluejoint grass, asters, and beggarticks.

The major soil properties affecting wetland plants

are texture of the surface layer, wetness, acidity or

alkalinity, and slope.

Shallow water areas have an average depth of less

than 5 feet. They are useful as habitat for some

wildlife species. They are naturally wet areas or are

created by dams, levees, or water-control measures

in marshes or streams. Examples are waterfowl

feeding areas, wildlife watering developments, beaver

ponds, and other wildlife ponds.

The major soil properties affecting shallow water

areas are depth to bedrock, wetness, surface

stoniness, slope, and permeability.

Kinds of Wildlife Habitat

Habitat for openland wildlife consists of cropland,

pasture, meadows, and areas that are overgrown with

grasses, herbs, and shrubs. These areas produce

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

The table “Building Site Development” 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

generally are 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, and other purposes. The

ratings are based on soil properties, site features, and

Engineering
200 Soil Survey of

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 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, large stones, 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

generally are 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, potential for frost action, 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, the available water capacity in the upper 40

inches, and the content of salts 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

The table “Sanitary Facilities” shows the degree

and the kind of soil limitations that affect septic tank

absorption fields, sewage lagoons, and sanitary

landfills. It also shows the suitability of the soils for

use as a daily cover for landfill.

Soil properties are important in selecting sites for

sanitary facilities and in identifying limiting soil

properties and site features to be considered in

planning, design, and installation. Soil limitation

ratings of slight, moderate, or severe are given for

septic tank absorption fields, sewage lagoons, and

trench and area sanitary landfills. Soil suitability

ratings of good, fair, and poor are given for daily cover

for landfill.

A rating of slight or good indicates that the soils

have no limitations or that the limitations can be easily

overcome. Good performance and low maintenance

can be expected. A rating of moderate or fair indicates

that the limitations should be recognized but generally

can be overcome by good management or special

design. A rating of severe or poor indicates that

overcoming the limitations is difficult or impractical.

Increased maintenance may be required.

Septic tank absorption fields are areas in which

subsurface systems of tile or perforated pipe

distribute effluent from a septic tank into the natural

soil. The centerline of the tile is assumed to be at a

depth of 24 inches. Only the part of the soil between

depths of 24 and 60 inches is considered in making

the ratings. The soil properties and site features

considered are those that affect the absorption of the

effluent, those that affect the construction and

maintenance of the system, and those that may affect

public health.

The ratings are based on soil properties, site

features, and observed performance of the soils.

Permeability, a high water table, depth to bedrock,

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, relatively impervious soil material.
Renville County, Minnesota—Part II 201

Aerobic lagoons generally are designed to hold the

sewage within a depth of 2 to 5 feet. Relatively

impervious soil material for the lagoon floor and sides

is desirable to minimize seepage and contamination of

local ground water.

The table “Sanitary Facilities” 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 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, 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 and bedrock

can cause construction problems, and large stones

can hinder compaction of the lagoon floor.

Trench sanitary landfill is an area where solid waste

is disposed of by placing refuse in successive layers

in an excavated trench. The waste is spread,

compacted, and covered daily with a thin layer of soil

that is excavated from the trench. When the trench is

full, a final cover of soil material at least 2 feet thick is

placed over the landfill. Soil properties that influence

the risk of pollution, the ease of excavation,

trafficability, and revegetation are the major

considerations in rating the soils.

Area sanitary landfill is an area where solid waste

is disposed of by placing refuse in successive layers

on the surface of the soil. The waste is spread,

compacted, and covered daily with a thin layer of soil

that is imported from a source away from the site. A

final cover of soil at least 2 feet thick is placed over

the completed landfill. Soil properties that influence

trafficability, revegetation, and the risk of pollution are

the main considerations in rating the soils for area

sanitary landfills.

Both types of landfill must be able to bear heavy

vehicular traffic. Both types involve a risk of groundwater pollution. The ratings in the table “Sanitary

Facilities” are based on soil properties, site features,

and observed performance of the soils. Permeability,

depth to bedrock, a high water table, slope, and

flooding affect both types of landfill. Texture, stones

and boulders, highly organic layers, soil reaction, and

content of salts 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.

The suitability of a soil for use as cover is based on

properties that affect workability and the ease of

digging, moving, and spreading the material over the

refuse daily during both wet and dry periods.

Soil texture, wetness, rock 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 or the water table to permit

revegetation. The soil material used as 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.

Waste Management

Soil properties are important when organic waste is

applied as fertilizer and wastewater is applied in

irrigated areas. They also are important when the soil

is used as a medium for the treatment and disposal of

the organic waste and wastewater. Unfavorable soil

properties can result in environmental damage.

The use of organic waste and wastewater as

production resources results in energy and resource

conservation and minimizes the problems associated

with waste disposal. If disposal is the goal, applying a

maximum amount of the organic waste or the

wastewater to a minimal area holds costs to a

minimum and environmental damage is the main

hazard. If reuse is the goal, a minimum amount

should be applied to a maximum area and

environmental damage is unlikely.

Interpretations developed for waste management

may include ratings for manure- and food-processing

waste, municipal sewage sludge, use of wastewater

for irrigation, and treatment of wastewater by slow

rate, overland flow, and rapid infiltration processes.

Specific information regarding waste management

is available at the local office of the Natural
202 Soil Survey of

Resources Conservation Service or the Cooperative

Extension Service.

Construction Materials

The table “Construction Materials” 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.

Roadfill is soil material that is excavated in one

place and used in road embankments in another

place. In the table “Construction Materials,” 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 shrinkswell 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 one or

more of the following characteristics: a plasticity 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 “Construction

Materials,” only the probability of finding material in

suitable quantity in or below the soil 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

as much as 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. 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.
Renville County, Minnesota—Part II 203

The surface layer of most soils generally is

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

The table “Water Management” 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 generally are

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, irrigation, 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 the table “Water Management,”

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 more than the height of the embankment

can affect performance and safety of the

embankment. Generally, deeper onsite investigation is

needed to determine these properties.

Soil material in embankments must be resistant to

seepage, piping, and erosion and have favorable

compaction characteristics. Unfavorable features

include less than 5 feet of suitable material and a high

content of stones or boulders, organic matter, or salts

or sodium. A high water table affects the amount of

usable material. It also affects trafficability.

Aquifer-fed excavated ponds are pits or dugouts

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

below a permanent water table. Excluded are ponds

that are fed only by surface runoff and embankment

ponds that impound water 3 feet or more above the

original surface. Excavated ponds are affected by

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, 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, 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. Availability of drainage outlets is

not considered in the ratings.

Irrigation is the controlled application of water to

supplement rainfall and support plant growth. The

design and management of an irrigation system are

affected by depth to the water table, the need for

drainage, flooding, available water capacity, intake

rate, permeability, erosion hazard, and slope. The

construction of a system is affected by large stones

and depth to bedrock. The performance of a system is

affected by the depth of the root zone, the amount of

salts, and soil reaction.

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

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 affect
204 Soil Survey of

the construction of grassed waterways. A hazard of

wind erosion, low available water capacity, restricted

rooting depth, toxic substances such as salts, and

restricted permeability adversely affect the growth and

maintenance of the grass after construction.

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

The table “Engineering Index Properties” 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 in the

series descriptions in Part I of this survey.

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. “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 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 to 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, SP-SM.

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

Soil Properties
250 Soil Survey of

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

The tables “Physical Properties of the Soils” and

“Chemical Properties of the Soils” 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. The range in depth and information

on other properties of each layer are given in the

series descriptions in Part I of this survey.

Clay as a soil separate, or component, consists of

mineral soil particles that are less than 0.002

millimeter in diameter. 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

drying the soil at 105 degrees C. In the table “Physical

Properties of the Soils,” 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 the retention of water and the

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 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; and high, more than 6

percent. Very high, more than 9 percent, is sometimes

used.
Renville County, Minnesota—Part II 251

Organic matter is the plant and animal residue in

the soil at various stages of decomposition. In the

table “Physical Properties of the Soils,” 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. Factor K is one of six factors

used in the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) to

predict the average rate of soil loss by sheet and rill

erosion in tons per acre per year. The estimates are

based primarily on percentage of silt, very fine sand,

sand, and organic matter (as much as 4 percent) and

on soil structure and permeability. The estimates are

modified by the presence of rock fragments. Values of

K range from 0.02 to 0.69. The higher the value, the

more susceptible the soil is to sheet and rill erosion.

Erosion factor Kf indicates the erodibility of the

fine-earth fraction, or the material less than 2

millimeters in size.

Erosion factor T is an estimate of the maximum

average 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. Soils are

grouped according to the following distinctions:

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

sands. These soils generally are not suitable for crops.

They are extremely erodible, and vegetation is difficult

to establish.

2. Loamy coarse sands, loamy sands, loamy fine

sands, loamy very fine sands, and sapric soil material.

These soils are very highly erodible. Crops can be

grown if intensive measures to control wind erosion

are used.

3. Coarse sandy loams, sandy loams, fine sandy

loams, and very fine sandy loams. These soils are

highly erodible. Crops can be grown if intensive

measures to control wind erosion are used.

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

silty clay loams that have more than 5 percent finely

divided calcium carbonate. These soils are highly

erodible. Crops can be grown if intensive measures to

control wind erosion are used.

4. Clays, silty clays, noncalcareous clay loams,

and silty clay loams that are more than 35 percent

clay. These soils are moderately erodible. Crops can

be grown if measures to control wind erosion are

used.

5. Noncalcareous loams and silt loams that are

less than 20 percent clay and sandy clay loams,

sandy clays, and hemic soil material. These soils have

less than 5 percent finely divided calcium carbonate.

They are moderately erodible. Crops can be grown if

measures to control wind erosion are used.

6. Noncalcareous loams and silt loams that are

more than 20 percent clay and noncalcareous clay

loams that are less than 35 percent clay. These soils

have less than 5 percent finely divided calcium

carbonate. They are moderately erodible. Crops can

be grown if ordinary measures to control wind erosion

are used.

7. Silts, noncalcareous silty clay loams that are

less than 35 percent clay, and fibric soil material.

These soils have less than 5 percent finely divided

calcium carbonate. They are very slightly erodible.

Crops can be grown if ordinary measures to control

wind erosion are used.

8. Soils that are not subject to wind erosion

because of rock fragments on the surface or because

of surface wetness.

Wind erodibility is directly related to the percentage

of dry, nonerodible surface soil aggregates larger than

0.84 millimeter in diameter. From this percentage, the

wind erodibility index factor (I) is determined. This

factor is an expression of the stability of the soil

aggregates, or the extent to which they are broken

down by tillage and the abrasion caused by windblown

soil particles.

In the table “Chemical Properties of the Soils,”

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. It is a measurement of the nutrient-holding

capacity of the soil.

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 fertility and stabilization, and in

determining the risk of corrosion.

Calcium carbonate is expressed as a weighted

percentage of the fraction of the soil less than 2

millimeters in size. The availability of plant nutrients,

such as phosphorus, is affected by the amount of

carbonates in the soil.

Gypsum is expressed as the percent, by weight, of
252 Soil Survey of

hydrated calcium sulfates in the fraction of the soil

less than 20 millimeters in size. Soils high in gypsum,

such as those more than 10 percent gypsum, may

collapse if the gypsum is removed by percolating

water. Gypsum is corrosive to concrete. Corrosion of

concrete is most likely to occur in soils that are more

than about 1 percent gypsum when wetting and

drying occur.

Salinity is a measure of soluble salts in the soil at

saturation. It is expressed as the electrical

conductivity of the saturation extract, in millimhos per

centimeter at 25 degrees C. Estimates are based on

field and laboratory measurements at representative

sites of nonirrigated soils. The salinity of irrigated soils

is affected by the quality of the irrigation water and by

the frequency of water application. Hence, the salinity

of soils in individual fields can differ greatly from the

value given in the table. Salinity affects the suitability

of a soil for crop production, the stability of the soil if

used as construction material, and the potential of the

soil to corrode metal and concrete.

Water Features

The table “Water Features” gives estimates of

several important water features used in land use

planning that involves engineering considerations.

These features are described in the following

paragraphs.

Hydrologic soil groups are groups of soils that,

when saturated, have the same runoff potential under

similar storm and ground cover conditions. The soil

properties that affect the runoff potential are those

that influence the minimum rate of infiltration in a bare

soil after prolonged wetting and when the soil is not

frozen. These properties include the depth to a

seasonal high water table, the intake rate,

permeability after prolonged wetting, and the depth to

a very slowly permeable layer. The influences of

ground cover and slope are treated independently and

are not taken into account in hydrologic soil groups.

In the definitions of the hydrologic soil groups, the

infiltration rate is the rate at which water enters the

soil at the surface and is controlled by surface

conditions. The transmission rate is the rate at which

water moves through the soil and is controlled by

properties of the soil layers.

The four hydrologic soil groups are:

Group A. Soils having a high infiltration rate (low

runoff potential) when thoroughly wet. These consist

chiefly of very 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 a moderately fine 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 that have a moderately fine 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 clayey soils that have a high shrinkswell potential, soils that have a permanent 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.

If a soil is assigned to two hydrologic groups in the

table, the first letter is for drained areas and the

second is for undrained areas.

Flooding, the temporary covering of the soil surface

by flowing water, is caused by overflow from streams

or by runoff from adjacent slopes. Shallow water

standing or flowing for short periods after rainfall or

snowmelt is not considered flooding. Standing water

in marshes and swamps or in closed depressions is

considered to be ponding.

The table “Water Features” gives the frequency and

duration of flooding and the time of year when

flooding is most likely to occur. Frequency, duration,

and probable dates of occurrence are estimated.

Frequency generally is expressed as none, rare,

occasional, or frequent. None means flooding is not

probable; rare that it is unlikely but is possible under

unusual weather conditions (the chance of flooding is

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

that it occurs infrequently under normal weather

conditions (the chance of flooding is 5 to 50 percent in

any year); and frequent that it occurs often under

normal weather conditions (the chance of flooding is

50 percent in any year).

Duration is expressed as very brief (less than 2

days), brief (2 to 7 days), long (7 to 30 days), and

very long (more than 30 days). The time of year that

flooding is most likely to occur is expressed in

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

flooding occurs during the stated period.

The information on flooding 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
Renville County, Minnesota—Part II 253

extent and level 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 a zone of saturation

at the highest average depth during the wettest

season. It is at least 6 inches thick, persists in the soil

for more than a few weeks, and is within 6 feet of the

surface. Indicated in the table “Water Features” are

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

water table, and the months of the year when the

water table usually is highest.

An apparent water table is indicated by the level at

which water stands in a freshly dug, unlined borehole

after adequate time for adjustments in the

surrounding soil.

A perched water table is one that is above an

unsaturated zone in the soil. The basis for determining

that a water table is perched may be general

knowledge of the area. The water table is proven to be

perched if the water level in a borehole is observed to

fall when the borehole is extended.

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

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.

Soil Features

The table “Soil Features” gives estimates of several

important soil features used in land use planning that

involves engineering considerations. These features

are described in the following paragraphs.

Depth to bedrock is given if bedrock is within a

depth of 60 inches. The depth is based on many soil

borings and on observations during soil mapping. The

rock is specified as 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.

Subsidence is the settlement of organic soils or of

saturated mineral soils of very low density.

Subsidence generally results from either desiccation

and shrinkage or oxidation of organic material, or

both, following drainage. Subsidence takes place

gradually, usually over a period of several years. The

table “Soil Features” shows the expected initial

subsidence, which usually is a result of drainage, and

total subsidence, which results from a combination of

factors.

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.

A low potential for frost action indicates that the soil

is rarely susceptible to the formation of ice lenses; a

moderate potential indicates that the soil is

susceptible to formation of ice lenses, resulting in

frost heave and the subsequent loss of soil strength;

and a high potential indicates that the soil is highly

susceptible to formation of ice lenses, resulting in

frost heave and the subsequent loss of soil strength.

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 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 is also

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

soil texture, acidity, and amount of sulfates in the

saturation extract.

Ablation till. Loose, permeable till deposited during

the final downwasting of glacial ice. Lenses of

crudely sorted sand and gravel are common.

Aeration, soil. The exchange of air in soil with air

from the atmosphere. The air in a well aerated soil

is similar to that in the atmosphere; the air in a

poorly aerated soil is considerably higher in

carbon dioxide and lower in oxygen.

Aggregate, soil. Many fine particles held in a single

mass or cluster. Natural soil aggregates, such as

granules, blocks, or prisms, are called peds. Clods

are aggregates produced by tillage or logging.

Alluvium. Material, such as sand, silt, or clay,

deposited on land by streams.

Aquic conditions. Current soil wetness

characterized by saturation, reduction, and

redoximorphic features.

Aspect. The direction in which a slope faces.

Association, soil. A group of soils or miscellaneous

areas geographically associated in a

characteristic repeating pattern and defined and

delineated as a single map unit.

Available water capacity (available moisture

capacity). The capacity of soils to hold water

available for use by most plants. It is commonly

defined as the difference between the amount of

soil water at field moisture capacity and the

amount at wilting point. It is commonly expressed

as inches of water per inch of soil. The capacity,

in inches, in a 60-inch profile or to a limiting layer

is expressed as:

Very low ............................................................ 0 to 3

Low ................................................................... 3 to 6

Moderate ........................................................... 6 to 9

High ................................................................ 9 to 12

Very high ............................................... more than 12

Back slope. The geomorphic component that forms

the steepest inclined surface and principal

element of many hill slopes. Back slopes in profile

are commonly steep and linear and descend to a

foot slope. In terms of gradational process, back

slopes are erosional forms produced mainly by

mass wasting and running water.

Basal till. Compact glacial till deposited beneath the

ice.

Base saturation. The degree to which material

having cation-exchange properties is saturated

with exchangeable bases (sum of Ca, Mg, Na,

and K), expressed as a percentage of the total

cation-exchange capacity.

Bedding planes. Fine strata, less than 5 millimeters

thick, in unconsolidated alluvial, eolian, lacustrine,

or marine sediment.

Bedrock. The solid rock that underlies the soil and

other unconsolidated material or that is exposed

at the surface.

Bedrock-controlled topography. A landscape where

the configuration and relief of the landforms are

determined or strongly influenced by the

underlying bedrock.

Bench terrace. A raised, level or nearly level strip of

earth constructed on or nearly on a contour,

supported by a barrier of rocks or similar material,

and designed to make the soil suitable for tillage

and to prevent accelerated erosion.

Bisequum. Two sequences of soil horizons, each of

which consists of an illuvial horizon and the

overlying eluvial horizons.

Blowout. A shallow depression from which all or most

of the soil material has been removed by wind. A

blowout has a flat or irregular floor formed by a

resistant layer or by an accumulation of pebbles

or cobbles. In some blowouts the water table is

exposed.

Boulders. Rock fragments larger than 2 feet (60

centimeters) in diameter.

Calcareous soil. A soil containing enough calcium

carbonate (commonly combined with magnesium

carbonate) to effervesce visibly when treated with

cold, dilute hydrochloric acid.

California bearing ratio (CBR). The load-supporting

capacity of a soil as compared to that of a

standard crushed limestone, expressed as a ratio.

First standardized in California. A soil having a

CBR of 16 supports 16 percent of the load that

would be supported by standard crushed

limestone, per unit area, with the same degree of

distortion.

Glossary
314 Soil Survey of

Capillary water. Water held as a film around soil

particles and in tiny spaces between particles.

Surface tension is the adhesive force that holds

capillary water in the soil.

Catena. A sequence, or “chain,” of soils on a

landscape that formed in similar kinds of parent

material but have different characteristics as a

result of differences in relief and drainage.

Cation. An ion carrying a positive charge of electricity.

The common soil cations are calcium, potassium,

magnesium, sodium, and hydrogen.

Cation-exchange capacity. 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. The term, as applied to

soils, is synonymous with base-exchange

capacity but is more precise in meaning.

Chiseling. Tillage with an implement having one or

more soil-penetrating points that loosen the

subsoil and bring clods to the surface.

Clay. As a soil separate, the mineral soil particles less

than 0.002 millimeter in diameter. As a soil

textural class, soil material that is 40 percent or

more clay, less than 45 percent sand, and less

than 40 percent silt.

Coarse textured soil. Sand or loamy sand.

Cobble (or cobblestone). A rounded or partly

rounded fragment of rock 3 to 10 inches (7.6 to

25 centimeters) in diameter.

Cobbly soil material. Material that is 15 to 35

percent, by volume, rounded or partially rounded

rock fragments 3 to 10 inches (7.6 to 25

centimeters) in diameter. Very cobbly soil material

is 35 to 60 percent of these rock fragments, and

extremely cobbly soil material is more than 60

percent.

Colluvium. Soil material or rock fragments, or both,

moved by creep, slide, or local wash and

deposited at the base of steep slopes.

Complex slope. Irregular or variable slope. Planning

or establishing terraces, diversions, and other

water-control structures on a complex slope is

difficult.

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

soil or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate

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

map them separately at the selected scale of

mapping. The pattern and proportion of the soils

or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar in

all areas.

Compressible (in tables). Excessive decrease in

volume of soft soil under load.

Concretions. Grains, pellets, or nodules of various

sizes, shapes, and colors consisting of

concentrated compounds or cemented soil grains.

The composition of most concretions is unlike that

of the surrounding soil. Calcium carbonate and

iron oxide are common compounds in

concretions.

Conservation cropping system. Growing crops in

combination with needed cultural and

management practices. In a good conservation

cropping system, the soil-improving crops and

practices more than offset the soil-depleting crops

and practices. Cropping systems are needed on

all tilled soils. Soil-improving practices in a

conservation cropping system include the use of

rotations that contain grasses and legumes and

the return of crop residue to the soil. Other

practices include the use of green manure crops

of grasses and legumes, proper tillage, adequate

fertilization, and weed and pest control.

Conservation tillage. Any tillage and planting system

in which a cover of crop residue is maintained on

at least 30 percent of the surface after planting in

order to reduce the hazard of water erosion; in

areas where wind erosion is the primary concern,

a system that maintains a cover of at least 1,000

pounds of flat residue of small grain or its

equivalent during the critical erosion period.

Consistence, soil. The feel of the soil and the ease

with which a lump can be crushed by the fingers.

Terms commonly used to describe consistence

are:

Loose.—Noncoherent when dry or moist; does

not hold together in a mass.

Friable.—When moist, crushes easily under

gentle pressure between thumb and forefinger

and can be pressed together into a lump.

Firm.—When moist, crushes under moderate

pressure between thumb and forefinger, but

resistance is distinctly noticeable.

Plastic.—Readily deformed by moderate pressure

but can be pressed into a lump; will form a “wire”

when rolled between thumb and forefinger.

Sticky.—Adheres to other material and tends to

stretch somewhat and pull apart rather than to

pull free from other material.

Hard.—When dry, moderately resistant to

pressure; can be broken with difficulty between

thumb and forefinger.

Soft.—When dry, breaks into powder or individual

grains under very slight pressure.

Cemented.—Hard; little affected by moistening.

planned system of rotation and management

practices.

Crop residue management. Returning crop residue

to the soil, which helps to maintain soil structure,

organic matter content, and fertility and helps to

control erosion.

Cross-slope farming. Deliberately conducting

farming operations on sloping farmland in such a

way that tillage is across the general slope.

Cutbanks cave (in tables). The walls of excavations

tend to cave in or slough.

Dense layer (in tables). A very firm, massive layer

that has a bulk density of more than 1.8 grams

per cubic centimeter. Such a layer affects the

ease of digging and can affect filling and

compacting.

Very deep soils are more than 60 inches deep

over bedrock; deep soils, 40 to 60 inches;

moderately deep, 20 to 40 inches; shallow, 10 to

20 inches; and very shallow, less than 10 inches.

Depth to rock (in tables). Bedrock is too near the

surface for the specified use.

Diversion (or diversion terrace). A ridge of earth,

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 periods of saturation or partial

saturation during soil formation, as opposed to

altered drainage, which is commonly the result of

artificial drainage or irrigation but may be caused

by the sudden deepening of channels or the

blocking of drainage outlets. Seven classes of

natural soil drainage are recognized:

Excessively drained.—These soils have very high

and high hydraulic conductivity and a low waterholding capacity. They are not suited to crop

production unless irrigated.

Somewhat excessively drained.—These soils

have high hydraulic conductivity and a low waterholding capacity. Without irrigation, only a narrow

range of crops can be grown and yields are low.

Well drained.—These soils have an intermediate

or high water-holding capacity. They retain

optimum amounts of moisture, but they are not

wet close enough to the surface or long enough

during the growing season to adversely affect

yields.

Moderately well drained.—These soils are wet

close enough to the surface or long enough that

planting or harvesting operations or yields of most

field crops are affected. Moderately well drained

soils commonly have a layer with low hydraulic

conductivity, a wet layer relatively high in the

profile, additions of water by seepage, or some

combination of these.

Somewhat poorly drained.—These soils are wet

close enough to the surface or long enough that

planting or harvesting operations or crop growth is

markedly restricted under natural conditions.

Somewhat poorly drained soils commonly have a

layer with low hydraulic conductivity, a wet layer

high in the profile, additions of water through

seepage, or a combination of these.

Poorly drained.—These soils commonly are so

wet at or near the surface during a considerable

part of the year that field crops cannot be grown

under natural conditions. Poor drainage is caused

by a saturated zone, a layer with low hydraulic

conductivity, seepage, or a combination of these.

Very poorly drained.—These soils are wet to the

surface most of the time. The wetness prevents

the growth of important crops (except for rice)

under natural conditions.

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

from an area.

Endosaturation. A type of saturation of the soil in

which all horizons between the upper boundary of

saturation and a depth of 2 meters are saturated.

Ephemeral stream. A stream, or reach of a stream,

that flows only in direct response to precipitation.

It receives no long-continued supply from melting

snow or other source, and its channel is above

the water table at all times.

Episaturation. A type of saturation indicating a

perched water table in a soil in which saturated

layers are underlain by one or more unsaturated

layers within 2 meters of the surface.

Erosion. The wearing away of the land surface by

water, wind, ice, or other geologic agents and by

such processes as gravitational creep.

Erosion (geologic). Erosion caused by geologic

processes acting over long geologic periods and

resulting in the wearing away of mountains and

the building up of such landscape features as

flood plains and coastal plains. Synonym: natural

erosion.

human or animal activities or of a catastrophe in

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

Erosion pavement. A layer of gravel or stones that

remains on the surface after fine particles are

removed by sheet or rill erosion.

Escarpment. A relatively continuous and steep slope

or cliff breaking the general continuity of more

gently sloping land surfaces and resulting from

erosion or faulting. The term is more often applied

to cliffs resulting from differential erosion.

provide plant nutrients, in adequate amounts and

in proper balance, for the growth of specified

plants when light, moisture, temperature, tilth, and

other growth factors are favorable.

Field moisture capacity. The moisture content of a

soil, expressed as a percentage of the ovendry

weight, after the gravitational, or free, water has

drained away; the field moisture content 2 or 3

days after a soaking rain; also called normal field

capacity, normal moisture capacity, or capillary

capacity.

Fine textured soil. Sandy clay, silty clay, or clay.

First bottom. The normal flood plain of a stream,

subject to frequent or occasional flooding.

generally a constructional landform consisting of

sediment deposited during overflow and lateral

migration of the stream.

Foot slope. The geomorphic component that forms

the inner, gently inclined surface at the base of a

hill slope. The surface is dominantly concave. In

terms of gradational processes, a foot slope is a

transition zone between an upslope site of erosion

(back slope) and a downslope site of deposition

(toe slope).

Forb. Any herbaceous plant not a grass or a sedge.

Fragile (in tables). A soil that is easily damaged by

use or disturbance.

especially to the processes or soil-forming factors

responsible for the formation of the solum, or true

soil, from the unconsolidated parent material.

Geomorphology. The science that treats the general

configuration of the earth’s surface; specifically

the study of the classification, description, nature,

of maturity or soon after maturity.

Ground water. Water filling all the unblocked pores of

underlying 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

equipment that is not commonly used in

construction.

High-chroma zones. Zones having chroma of 3 or

more. Typical color in areas of iron concentrations.

High-residue crops. Such crops as small grain and

corn used for grain. If properly managed, residue

from these crops can be used to control erosion

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,

commonly of limited summit area and having a

well defined outline; hillsides generally have

slopes of more than 6 percent. The distinction

between a hill and a mountain is arbitrary and is

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

represents the major horizons. Numbers or

lowercase letters that follow represent

subdivisions of the major horizons. The major

horizons of mineral soil are as follows:

O horizon.—An organic layer of fresh and

decaying plant residue.

surface in which an accumulation of humified

organic matter is mixed with the mineral material.

Also, a plowed surface horizon, most of which

was originally part of a B horizon.

E horizon.—The mineral horizon in which the

main feature is loss of silicate clay, iron,

aluminum, or some combination of these.

B horizon.—The mineral horizon below an A

horizon. The B horizon is in part a layer of

transition from the overlying A to the underlying C

horizon. The B horizon also has distinctive

characteristics, such as (1) accumulation of clay,

sesquioxides, humus, or a combination of these;

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

browner colors than those in the A horizon; or (4)

a combination of these.

C horizon.—The mineral horizon or layer,

excluding indurated bedrock, that is little affected

by soil-forming processes and does not have the

properties typical of the overlying soil material.

The material of a C horizon may be either like or

unlike that in which the solum formed. If the

material is known to differ from that in the solum,

an Arabic numeral, commonly a 2, precedes the

letter C.

Cr horizon.—Soft, consolidated bedrock beneath

the soil.

R layer.—Consolidated bedrock beneath the soil.

The bedrock commonly underlies a C horizon, but

it can be directly below an A or a B horizon.

Humus. The well decomposed, more or less stable

part of the organic matter in mineral soils.

Hydrologic soil groups. Refers to soils grouped

according to their runoff-producing characteristics.

The chief consideration is the inherent capacity of

soil bare of vegetation to permit infiltration. The

slope and the kind of plant cover are not

considered but are separate factors in predicting

runoff. Soils are assigned to four groups. In group

A are soils having a high infiltration rate when

thoroughly wet and having a low runoff potential.

They are mainly deep, well drained, and sandy or

gravelly. In group D, at the other extreme, are soils

having a very slow infiltration rate and thus a high

runoff potential. They have a claypan or clay layer

at or near the surface, have a permanent high

water table, or are shallow over nearly impervious

bedrock or other material. A soil is assigned to

two hydrologic groups if part of the acreage is

artificially drained and part is undrained.

Ice-walled lake plain. A relict surface marking the

floor of an extinct lake basin that was formed on

solid ground and surrounded by stagnant ice in a

stable or unstable superglacial environment on

stagnation moraines. As the ice melted, the lake

plain became perched above the adjacent

landscape. The lake plain is well sorted, generally

fine textured, stratified deposits.

Igneous rock. Rock formed by solidification from a

molten or partially molten state. Major varieties

include plutonic and volcanic rock. Examples are

andesite, basalt, and granite.

horizon to another in the soil profile. Generally,

material is removed from an upper horizon and

deposited in a lower horizon.

Impervious soil. A soil through which water, air, or

roots penetrate slowly or not at all. No soil is

absolutely impervious to air and water all the time.

Infiltration. The downward entry of water into the

immediate surface of soil or other material, as

contrasted with percolation, which is movement of

water through soil layers or material.
318 Soil Survey of

Infiltration capacity. The maximum rate at which

water can infiltrate into a soil under a given set of

conditions.

Infiltration rate. The rate at which water penetrates

the surface of the soil at any given instant, usually

expressed in inches per hour. The rate can be

limited by the infiltration capacity of the soil or the

rate at which water is applied at the surface.

Intake rate. The average rate of water entering the

soil under irrigation. Most soils have a fast initial

rate; the rate decreases with application time.

Therefore, intake rate for design purposes is not a

constant but is a variable depending on the net

irrigation application. The rate of water intake, in

inches per hour, is expressed as follows:

Less than 0.2 ................................................ very low

0.2 to 0.4 ............................................................... low

0.4 to 0.75 .......................................... moderately low

0.75 to 1.25 ................................................. moderate

making up nodules. If formed in place, nodules of

iron oxide or manganese oxide are considered

types of redoximorphic concentrations.

uppermost inclined surface near the top of a

hillslope. It comprises the transition zone from

backslope to summit. The surface is dominantly

convex in profile and erosional in orgin.

Shrink-swell (in tables). The shrinking of soil when

dry and the swelling when wet. Shrinking and

swelling can damage roads, dams, building

foundations, and other structures. It can also

damage plant roots.

Silica. A combination of silicon and oxygen. The

mineral form is called quartz.

Silt. As a soil separate, individual mineral particles

that range in diameter from the upper limit of clay

(0.002 millimeter) to the lower limit of very fine

sand (0.05 millimeter). As a soil textural class, soil

that is 80 percent or more silt and less than 12

percent clay.

Similar soils. Soils that share limits of diagnostic

criteria, behave and perform in a similar manner,

and have similar conservation needs or

management requirements for the major land

uses in the survey area.

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

distance divided by horizontal distance, then

multiplied by 100. Thus, a slope of 20 percent is a

drop of 20 feet in 100 feet of horizontal distance.

Slope (in tables). Slope is great enough that special

practices are required to ensure satisfactory

performance of the soil for a specific use.

Sloughed till. Water-saturated till that has flowed

slowly downhill from its original place of deposit

by glacial ice. It may rest on other till, on glacial

outwash, or on a glaciolacustrine deposit.

Slow intake (in tables). The slow movement of water

into the soil.

Slow refill (in tables). The slow filling of ponds,

resulting from restricted permeability in the soil.

Small stones (in tables). Rock fragments less than 3

inches (7.6 centimeters) in diameter. Small stones

adversely affect the specified use of the soil.

Soft bedrock. Bedrock that can be excavated with

trenching machines, backhoes, small rippers, and

other equipment commonly used in construction.

Soil. A natural, three-dimensional body at the earth’s

surface. It is capable of supporting plants and has

properties resulting from the integrated effect of

climate and living matter acting on earthy parent

material, as conditioned by relief over periods of

time.

Soil separates. Mineral particles less than 2

millimeters in equivalent diameter and ranging

between specified size limits. The names and

sizes, in millimeters, of separates recognized in

the United States are as follows:

Very coarse sand .........................................2.0 to 1.0

Coarse sand ................................................1.0 to 0.5

Medium sand ............................................. 0.5 to 0.25

Fine sand ................................................. 0.25 to 0.10

Very fine sand .......................................... 0.10 to 0.05

Silt ......................................................... 0.05 to 0.002

Clay ................................................... less than 0.002

Solum. The upper part of a soil profile, above the C

horizon, in which the processes of soil formation

are active. The solum in soil consists of the A, E,

and B horizons. Generally, the characteristics of

the material in these horizons are unlike those of

the substratum. The living roots and plant and

animal activities are largely confined to the solum.

Stone line. A concentration of rock fragments in a

soil. Generally, it is indicative of an old weathered

surface. In a cross section, the line may be one

fragment or more thick. It generally overlies

material that weathered in place and is overlain by

recent sediment of variable thickness.

Stones. Rock fragments 10 to 24 inches (25 to 60

centimeters) in diameter if rounded or 15 to 24

inches (38 to 60 centimeters) in length if flat.

Stony. Refers to a soil containing stones in numbers

that interfere with or prevent tillage.

Stripcropping. Growing crops in a systematic

arrangement of strips or bands that provide

vegetative barriers to wind erosion and water

erosion.

Structure, soil. The arrangement of primary soil

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

grain (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 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 or loosen a layer that restricts

roots.

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 profile and exhibiting a nearly level

surface. A general term for the top, or highest

level of a landform, such as a hill, mountain, or

tableland. It usually refers to a high interfluve area

of gentler slope that is flanked by steeper

hillslopes, e.g., mountain fronts or tableland

escarpments.

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.

Swale. A slight depression in the midst of generally

level land. A shallow depression in an undulating

ground moraine due to uneven glacial deposition.

Taxadjuncts. Soils that cannot be classified in a

series recognized in the classification system.

Such soils are named for a series they strongly

resemble and are designated as taxadjuncts to

that series because they differ in ways too small

to be of consequence in interpreting their use and

behavior.

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 is generally 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

too thin for the specified use.

Till. Unsorted, nonstratified glacial drift consisting of

clay, silt, sand, and boulders transported and

deposited by glacial ice.

Till plain. An extensive area of nearly level to

undulating or gently sloping soils that are

underlain by till or consist of till. Slopes are 0 to 6

percent.

Tilth, soil. The physical condition of the soil as

related to tillage, seedbed preparation, seedling

emergence, and root penetration.

Toe slope. The outermost inclined surface at the

base of a hill. Toe slopes are commonly gentle

and linear in profile.

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.

Toxicity (in tables). Excessive amount of toxic

substances, such as salts, that severely hinder

establishment of vegetation or severely restrict

plant growth.

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 (geology). 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,

usually by meltwater streams, in a glacial lake or

other body of still water in front of a glacier.

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.

Wilting point (or permanent wilting point). The

moisture content of soil, on an ovendry basis, at

which a plant (specifically a sunflower) wilts so

much that it does not recover when placed in a

humid, dark chamber.

Windthrow. The uprooting and tipping over of trees

by the wind.
