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 1999. Soil names and

descriptions were approved in 1999. Unless otherwise indicated, statements in this

publication refer to conditions in the survey area in 1999. This survey was made

cooperatively by the Natural Resources Conservation Service and the Illinois

Agricultural Experiment Station. It was partially funded by the Illinois Department of

Agriculture and the Sangamon County Soil and Water Conservation District. The survey

is part of the technical assistance furnished to the Sangamon County Soil and Water

Conservation District.

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

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

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

larger scale.

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

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

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

impact of selected land uses on the environment.

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

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

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

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

for construction, and identify special practices needed to ensure proper performance.

Conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation, wildlife

management, waste disposal, and pollution control can use the survey to help them

understand, protect, and enhance the environment.

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

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

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

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

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

user is responsible for identifying and complying with existing laws and regulations.

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

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

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

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

poorly suited to basements or underground installations.

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

survey. The location of each soil is shown on the detailed soil maps. Each soil in the

survey area is described. Information on specific uses is given for each soil. Help in

using this publication and additional information are available at the local office of the

Natural Resources Conservation Service or the Cooperative Extension Service.

General Nature of the County

SANGAMON COUNTY is in the central part of Illinois (fig.

1). It has a total area of 560,755 acres, or about 876

square miles. According to the 2000 census, the

population of the county is 188,951 and the population

of Springfield, the largest city in the county, is 111,545

(United States Census Bureau, 2002). Springfield is

the county seat and the State capital.

This soil survey updates the survey of Sangamon

County published in 1980 (Steinkamp, 1980). It

provides additional information and has larger maps,

which show the soils in greater detail.

History

Settlement of the survey area began more than 175

years ago. In 1818, Springfield was settled by people

from South Carolina, Kentucky, and Virginia. It became

the county seat in 1821, when Sangamon County was

established. In 1831, Springfield was incorporated as

a town. Partly through the efforts of Abraham Lincoln,

it was made the State capital in 1837.

The area now known as Sangamon County at one

time was part of the territory claimed by the Kickapoo

and Pottawatomie Indians. At that time, prairie grasses

covered about 70 percent of the survey area, mainly

the nearly level to strongly sloping uplands. The rest of

the survey area, mostly the more sloping land near

streams, was timbered. The early settlers cleared and

farmed the timbered areas. By 1830, metal plows were

available, and the settlers started plowing the prairie.

About 1875, underground tile drains became available.

They provided the artificial drainage needed for

cultivation of the wet, nearly level soils.

Farming and Industry

Hal Pyle, District Conservationist, Natural Resources

Conservation Service, helped prepare this section

Soil is the most important natural resource in the

county. Crops produced on the soil and livestock that

feed on some of these crops contribute to the wealth

of the county. According to the Census of Agriculture,

466,956 acres, or 82 percent of the county, was

farmland in 1997 (USDA, 1997). The county had 993

farms, which averaged 470 acres in size. Since 1980,

the average farm size has increased 61 percent and

the number of farms has decreased. In 1999,

Sangamon County ranked 7th in the State in soybean

production with 42 bushels per acre. It ranked 12th in

the State in corn production with 145 bushels per acre

(Illinois Agricultural Statistics Service, 2002; http//

www.agstats.state.il.us/website/reports.htm).

The water supply in the county is adequate for

domestic use and for watering livestock (Illinois

Department of Natural Resources, 2000b). The county

is well supplied with surface water, but the upper

layers of Pennsylvanian bedrock are unreliable

sources of good-quality ground water. Lake Springfield

supplies water for most of the county. Good sites for

reservoirs are available along the Sangamon River

and along many small streams.

Small oilfields are in scattered areas throughout the

east-central part of the county. Oil-producing strata

consist of Devonian and Silurian rocks, mainly

limestone or dolomite limestone. In most places they

are within a depth of 2,000 feet. The Carbondale

geologic formation is a limited source of coal. Most of

the coal has been mined out by underground

operations.

Sand and gravel are extracted mainly from the

low terraces and flood plain along the Sangamon

River east of Springfield. Deposits of resource

quality are on hills and ridges and in other areas

in the valley of the Sangamon River west of

Springfield. In the past, limestone, clay, and shale

were mined from the Pennsylvanian rocks. The

limestone was used in roadbeds and in the

construction of buildings and the production of

agricultural lime. The shale was used in the

manufacture of tile drains, sewer pipes, pottery,

stoneware, and other clay products.

Transportation Facilities

A system of railroads and highways facilitated the

rapid settlement and development of the county. The

main highways crossing the county are Interstate 55,

from north to south, and Interstate 72, from east to

west. Other highways are U.S. Highway 36 and State

Routes 4, 29, 54, 97, 104, and 125. All farms have

access to surfaced roads. Capitol Airport, northwest of

Springfield, provides freight and passenger service.

Several railroads also provide freight and passenger

service.

Physiography and Drainage

Sangamon County is in the Springfield Plain region

(Bergstrom et al., 1976). Shallow river valleys dissect

the Springfield Plain. Moderately thick glacial till was

deposited during Illinoian and earlier stages of

glaciation. The Buffalo Hart moraine, a broad,

discontinuous ridge, rises above the general level of

the plain in the vicinity of Buffalo Hart.

The natural drainage is westward. The Sangamon

River and its tributaries—the South Fork of the

Sangamon River and numerous smaller streams—

drain all of the survey area, except for the northeast

corner.

Climate

Prepared by the National Water and Climate Center, Natural

Resources Conservation Service, and the Illinois State Water

Survey.

Table 1 gives data on temperature and precipitation

for the survey area as recorded at Springfield in the

period 1970 to 1999. Table 2 shows probable dates of

the first freeze in fall and the last freeze in spring.

Table 3 provides data on length of the growing season.

In winter, the average temperature is 31 degrees F

and the average daily minimum temperature is 22

degrees. The lowest temperature on record, which

occurred at Springfield on January 20, 1979, is -21

degrees. In summer, the average temperature is 73

degrees and the average daily maximum temperature

is 83 degrees. The highest recorded temperature,

which occurred on July 14, 1954, is 112 degrees.

Growing degree days are shown in table 1. They

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

growing degree days accumulate by the amount that

the average temperature each day exceeds a base

temperature (50 degrees F). The normal monthly

accumulation is used to schedule single or successive

plantings of a crop between the last freeze in spring

and the first freeze in fall.

The total average annual precipitation is nearly 36

inches. Of this, more than 21 inches, or about 60

percent, usually falls in April through September. The

growing season for most crops falls within this period.

In 2 years out of 10, the rainfall in April through

September is less than 18 inches. The heaviest 1-day

rainfall during the period of record was 6.12 inches at

Springfield on December 3, 1982. Thunderstorms

occur on about 50 days each year. Tornadoes and

severe thunderstorms strike occasionally. These

storms are usually local in extent and of short duration

and cause damage in scattered areas.

The average seasonal snowfall is about 24 inches.

The greatest snow depth at any one time during the

period of record was 22.7 inches. On the average,15

days of the year have at least 1 inch of snow on the

ground. The number of such days varies greatly from

year to year.

The average relative humidity in midafternoon is

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

average at dawn is about 80 percent. The sun shines

70 percent of the time possible in summer and 50

percent in winter. The prevailing wind is from the south.

Average windspeed is highest, 14 miles per hour, in

March.

How This Survey Was Made

This survey was made to provide updated

information about the soils and miscellaneous areas in

Sangamon County, which is a subset of MLRAs 108B

and 115C. MLRAs are geographically associated land

resource units that share a common land use,

elevation, topography, climate, pattern of water and

soils, and vegetation (USDA, 1981). Map unit design is

based on the occurrence of each soil throughout the

MLRAs. In some cases a soil component may be

referred to that does not occur in the Sangamon

County subset but that has been mapped within the

MLRAs.

The information in this survey 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 prepared new soil profile descriptions

and studied many existing profile descriptions. These

descriptions show the sequence of natural layers, or
16

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 occur 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 the update,

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 observed. The maximum depth of

observation was about 80 inches (6.7 feet). The

scientists noted soil 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 survey 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. Interpretations are modified as

necessary 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 water table within

certain depths in most years, but they cannot predict

that the 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.

Aerial photographs used in this update survey were

taken between 1993 and 1996. Soil scientists also

studied U.S. Geological Survey topographic maps

enlarged to a scale of 1:12,000 and orthophotographs

to relate land and image features. Specific soil

boundaries from the soil maps published in 1980 were

drawn on the orthophotographs. Adjustments of soil

boundary lines were made to coincide with the U.S.

Geological Survey topographic map contour lines and

tonal patterns on aerial photographs.

The descriptions, names, and delineations of

the soils in this county may not fully agree with

those of the soils in adjacent counties. 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

counties.

This section relates the soils in the survey area to

the major factors and processes of soil formation and

describes the system of soil classification.

Formation of the Soils

Steve Suhl, Resource Soil Scientist, Natural Resources

Conservation Service, prepared this section.

A soil is a three-dimensional natural body

consisting of mineral and organic material that can

support plants. The nature of any soil at a given site

is the result of the interaction of the major factors of

soil formation and their influence on the processes

of soil formation.

Factors of Soil Formation

The major factors of soil formation are parent

material, climate, plants and animals, topography, and

time (Jenny, 1941). Climate and plants and animals

act directly on the parent material, which is modified

by topography over time. Theoretically, if all these

factors were identical at different sites, the soils at

these sites would be identical. The diversity among

soils is the result of unique combinations of the soilforming factors. Soils are continually evolving in

response to these factors.

Parent Material

Parent material is the unconsolidated geologic

material in which a soil forms. It determines the basis

for the chemical and mineralogical composition of the

soil. The properties of the parent material vary greatly,

sometimes within small areas, depending on how the

material was deposited. The soils in Sangamon

County formed in a variety of parent materials. The

majority of the soils formed in loess. Other soils

formed in glacial drift, alluvium, sandy eolian deposits,

bedrock residuum, or a combination of these.

Glacial drift is glacially deposited sediment. There

are two main types of glacial drift—till and outwash. Till

is material that was deposited directly by glacial ice

with little or no water action. It typically has particles

that vary in size, including sand, silt, clay, and some

pebbles, cobbles, and larger rock fragments. The small

pebbles in till generally have distinct edges and

corners, indicating that they have not been subject to

intense washing by water. Till is well graded and

unstratified. The till in Sangamon County was

deposited during the Illinoian age. Soils that formed in

till are of minor extent in the county. Hickory soils are

examples.

During the Sangamon interglacial stage, which

occurred between the Illinoian and Wisconsinan

stages, the relatively flat, stable till surface was

exposed to intense weathering. A soil formed on the till

surface and was subsequently buried by depositions

of loess. In Sangamon County, the loess deposits

were thick enough to remove the soil from the

influence of the active soil-forming processes. The

soils that formed in the till are called paleosols, and

they reflect the environmental conditions of their

formation period. There are several types of paleosols.

The type in Sangamon County is called a buried

paleosol. A buried paleosol generally is no longer

subject to the soil-forming processes that created it. In

some areas where the loess deposits are thinner,

however, the current processes of soil formation have

extended through the loess and into the upper part of

the paleosol. The result is a welded soil profile. Elco

soils are examples of soils that formed in these areas.

Outwash includes all sediments deposited by

running water from melting glaciers. The size of the

particles that can be transported by water, either as

bed load or suspended sediments, depends on the

gradient, volume, and velocity of the moving water.

Water velocity decreases when a stream loses grade

or flows into a larger body of water. As the velocity

decreases, suspended particles begin to settle out.

The coarser materials, such as gravel and cobbles,

are deposited nearer to the source; the finer materials,

such as fine sands, silts, and clays, are carried farther

downstream. The pebbles in outwash generally have

rounded edges and corners, indicating that they have

been subject to intense washing by water. Outwash is

poorly graded, is stratified, and varies in composition

because of variations in the flow of water. Outwash is

generally permeable. The outwash in Sangamon

County was deposited during the Wisconsinan age.

Formation and Classification of the Soils
18 Soil Survey of

Soils that formed in outwash are of minor extent in the

county. Camden soils are examples.

Alluvium is material deposited by running water.

There are two major types—stream alluvium and

valley-side alluvium.

Stream alluvium is soil material deposited by

floodwater along streams. The source of the alluvium

generally is material eroded from other parent

materials farther upstream in the watershed. Stream

alluvium is poorly graded, stratified, and well sorted.

The texture of the soil material varies, depending on

the speed of the floodwater, the duration of flooding,

and the distance from the streambank. Once the faster

moving water within the stream channel is outside the

channel, it slows quickly as the concentrated channel

flow changes to broad overland flow. The capacity of

the stream to carry a sediment load decreases as the

water velocity decreases. The coarser textured

material is deposited first, near the channel. The fine

textured material is carried a greater distance from the

channel. Ross soils are examples of soils that formed

in the coarser textured alluvium close to the stream

channel. Tice soils formed in the finer textured

alluvium farther from the stream channel.

Valley-side alluvium is poorly graded and stratified,

but it generally is not well sorted. The source of the

alluvium generally is material eroded from parent

material directly upslope. The soils that formed in

valley-side alluvium are similar in character to the

upslope source material. Drury soils formed in valleyside alluvium.

Eolian sediments are materials transported and

deposited by the wind. These sediments were derived

from periglacial regions where sparse vegetation and

low temperatures and precipitation rates left

unconsolidated sediments exposed to wind action. The

unconsolidated sediments, primarily outwash, were

then stripped of their finer components by the strong

wind. Eolian sediments were deposited during the

Wisconsinan age and are either loess or windblown

sand. Loess is the major parent material in Sangamon

County. It is fine grained and poorly graded and

averages less than 7 percent sand. The loess is about

15 feet thick in the northern part of the county and

thins to less than 7 feet in the southern part. Fayette

and Osco soils formed in loess.

Windblown sand is poorly graded and consists

primarily of very fine sand and fine sand. It generally is

in scattered areas on the south side of the valley of the

Sangamon River. The soils that formed in windblown

sand are of minor extent in Sangamon County. Alvin

soils are examples.

The bedrock residuum in Sangamon County is

material weathered from shale and sandstone. It is

generally grayish and unstratified. The bedrock is

Pennsylvanian in age. The soils that formed in bedrock

residuum are of minor extent in the county. Marseilles

soils are examples.

Climate

The climate in Sangamon County has significantly

affected the soil-forming processes. The county has a

humid, temperate climate. In this climatic environment,

physical and chemical weathering of the parent

material can occur along with the accumulation of

organic matter, the decomposition of minerals, the

formation and translocation of clay, the leaching of

soluble compounds, and alternating periods of

freezing and thawing.

The two climatic factors that have the greatest

influence on soil-forming processes are precipitation

and temperature. Precipitation supplies the moisture

needed for most physical and chemical processes and

determines the depth to which these processes occur.

The soil moisture regime, which is partially a function

of precipitation, determines the processes that occur

in the soil. The rate at which these physical and

chemical processes proceed depends on the

temperature, particularly the soil temperature regime.

Two soil moisture regimes occur in the county—

aquic and udic. The aquic moisture regime is a

reducing regime in a soil that is virtually free of

dissolved oxygen because of saturation by water,

including water of the capillary fringe. Biological

activity is necessary for the removal of dissolved

oxygen from ground water. Therefore, the soil

temperature must be above biologic zero (5 degrees

C) for some time while the soil is saturated. Sawmill

soils have an aquic soil moisture regime. The udic

moisture regime is one in which the soil moisture

control section is not dry in any part for as long as 90

cumulative days per year. Also required, except for

short periods, is a three-phase system, solid-liquidgas, in part or all of the soil moisture control section

when the soil temperature is above biologic zero. Osco

soils have a udic soil moisture regime.

The mesic soil temperature regime is the only

temperature regime recognized in the county. This

regime is one in which the mean annual soil

temperature is 8 degrees to less than 15 degrees C

and the difference between mean summer and mean

winter soil temperatures is more than 5 degrees C at a

depth of 20 inches.

Plants and Animals

The vegetation under which a soil forms influences

several important soil properties, such as color,

structure, reaction, and content and distribution of
Sangamon County, Illinois 19

organic matter. Vegetation extracts water from the soil,

recycles nutrients, and adds organic matter to the soil.

Gases derived from root respiration combine with

water to form acids that influence the weathering of

minerals.

Several different types of vegetation have

influenced soil formation in Sangamon County. These

include prairie vegetation, upland hardwood forests,

forest and prairie vegetation in transitional areas, and

vegetation on flood plains.

Prairie vegetation.—The decomposition of the roots

of annual prairie grasses provides well distributed

subsurface accumulations of organic material,

resulting in a thick, dark surface layer. Osco soils

formed under prairie vegetation. The average content

of organic matter in the surface layer of these soils is 3

to 4 percent.

Upland hardwood forests.—These forests

contribute organic matter to the soil primarily when

they add leaf litter to the surface each year, resulting in

a thin, dark surface layer. Fayette soils formed under

this type of vegetation. The average content of organic

matter in the surface layer of these soils is 1 to 2

percent.

Forest and prairie vegetation in transitional areas.—

Soils that formed in these areas exhibit modified

characteristics of both forest and prairie vegetative

regimes. An example is Clarksdale soils, which have a

surface layer that is thinner than that of the soils that

formed under prairie vegetation. The average content

of organic matter in the surface layer of Clarksdale

soils is 2 to 3 percent.

Vegetation on flood plains.—The soils on these

plains formed under a combination of trees and

grasses. They have colors that largely reflect those of

the sediments in which they formed. Lawson soils are

examples.

Bacteria, fungi, and many other micro-organisms

decompose organic matter and release nutrients to

growing plants. They influence the formation of peds.

Soil properties, such as drainage, temperature, and

reaction, influence the type of micro-organisms that

live in the soil. Fungi are generally more active in the

more acid soils, while bacteria are more active in the

less acid soils.

Earthworms, crayfish, insects, and small burrowing

animals mix the soil and create small channels that

influence soil aeration and the percolation of water.

Earthworms help to incorporate crop residue or other

organic matter into the soil. The organic material

improves tilth. In areas that are well populated with

earthworms, the leaf litter that accumulates on the soil

in the fall is generally incorporated into the soil by the

following spring. If the earthworm population is low,

part of the leaf fall can remain on the surface of the

soil for several years.

Human activities have significantly influenced soil

formation through their effect on soil health. Soil health

has been damaged by degradation processes, such

as erosion, compaction, contamination,

disaggregation, loss of biological activity, and nutrient

depletion. Native forests have been cleared and wet

soils drained for farming and other uses. The

development of land for urban uses has significantly

influenced the soils in some areas.

Topography

Topography, or the configuration of the land surface

in terms of relief and contour, influences soil formation

mainly through its effect on surface water runoff or

accumulation and on erosion and deposition. The

degree of the effect of topography depends on the

type and stability of the land surface.

There are two types of land surfaces—aggrading

and degrading—and three levels of stability—stable,

metastable, and active. The aggrading surfaces in

Sangamon County receive material either through the

deposition associated with flooding or through the

accumulation of erosional sediments. Ross soils

formed on natural levees on flood plains. The natural

levees are an example of active-aggrading land

surfaces. They receive depositions of sediment during

frequent episodes of flooding. Drury soils formed on

footslopes that receive runoff with some accumulation

of hillslope sediments. Footslopes are an example of

metastable-aggrading land surfaces. Sable soils

formed in broad, low areas on drainage divides that

receive runoff from upslope areas but accumulate little

sediment from hillslope erosion. These broad, low

areas are an example of stable-aggrading land

surfaces.

Degrading surfaces lose material primarily through

erosion. Keomah soils formed on the broad summits of

interfluves. These broad summits are an example of

stable-degrading surfaces, where runoff is limited.

Fayette soils are on the shoulders of hillslopes and

thus are more susceptible to runoff and erosion than

the Keomah soils. Shoulders are metastabledegrading surfaces, where increased runoff leads to

higher rates of erosion. Backslopes are an example of

active-degrading surfaces. Hickory soils are on

backslopes, where runoff and erosion rates are

highest.

Time

The length of time that the parent material has been

exposed to soil-forming processes influences the

degree of genetic horizon development that occurs in
20 Soil Survey of

the soil. Evaluation of time as a factor of soil formation

is difficult because of the effects of the other soilforming factors. The influence of time can be modified

by erosion, deposition of material, topography, and

kind of parent material.

Soils on flood plains receive alluvial material during

each flood. This repeated deposition interrupts soil

formation. Lawson soils are examples of immature

soils that formed in stream alluvium.

Processes of Soil Formation

Soil forms through the complex interaction of four

general processes. These processes are additions,

transformations, removals, and translocations. The

degree of interaction of each these processes varies,

resulting in the variety of soils on the landscape.

Additions to the soil can occur directly through the

deposition of sediment by floodwater or through the

accumulation of windblown sediment. They also occur

through the accumulation and incorporation of organic

matter in the A horizon of mineral soils. The most

striking example of this addition is the formation of a

mollic epipedon. The mollic epipedon forms in an

environment that features optimum amounts of

moisture, temperature, and bivalent cations. Such an

environment allows grasses to thrive. The grassland

vegetation produces large amounts of organic matter.

Microbial decomposition of subsurface organic

residues and of surface organic residues taken

underground by soil fauna results in the most

recognizable property of the mollic epipedon, a dark

color. Ipava soils are examples of soils that have a

mollic epipedon.

Transformations are changes that take place in the

soil through the interaction of biological, chemical, and

physical processes. An example is the reduction of

iron and manganese oxides, which occurs in soils that

are saturated with water. Typically, iron oxides coat soil

particles and produce brownish, yellowish, or reddish

colors, and manganese oxides produce black colors.

When a soil becomes saturated with water and the

dissolved oxygen is removed, anaerobic conditions

develop. These conditions result in changes in the

biochemical processes occurring in the soils and in

the development of distinctive soil morphological

characteristics (redoximorphic features). Reduced iron

and manganese can move with the soil water to other

parts of the soil or can be removed entirely from the

soil by leaching. After the iron and manganese are

removed, the leached area, or depletion zone,

generally is grayish or whitish. If the reduced iron

comes in contact with oxygen, it can reoxidize. The

result is the formation of bright colored concentrations

or accumulations. Repeated cycles of saturation and

drying result in a mottled soil. Part of the soil is gray

because of the loss of iron, and other parts are brown

because the iron oxide has accumulated or has not

been removed. The somewhat poorly drained Ipava

soils are examples of soils in which this process has

occurred. Iron may be leached from soils that remain

saturated for long periods. Such soils are generally

grayish or gleyed. The poorly drained Titus soils are

examples.

Removals from the soil can occur as solid mineral

and organic particles are lost through erosion of the

soil surface. Such losses can be serious because the

material lost generally is from the most productive part

of the soil profile.

Removals can also occur as a result of leaching.

The leaching of calcium carbonate from calcareous

loess is an example. The loess was initially high in

content of calcium carbonate. Water percolating

through the loess dissolved the calcium carbonate and

transported it deeper into the solum. Calcium

carbonate is relatively soluble and is removed early in

the formation of the soil. It is also a powerful flocculent,

creating soil particles too large to be transported in

suspension in the soil water. Removal of calcium

carbonate facilitates the dispersion of clay particles.

Translocation of the dispersed clay particles can then

occur in percolating soil water.

Translocations are movements of material from one

part of the soil to another. An example is the

translocation of clay from the A or E horizon, the zone

of eluviation or loss, to the B horizon, the zone of

illuviation or gain. In Fayette soils, for example, a

significant amount of clay has accumulated, forming

an illuvial horizon called an argillic horizon. The argillic

horizon developed on a relatively old, stable

landscape. Water from rain and melting snow

transferred fine clay from the A or E horizon downward

to the B horizon, where the clay particles were

deposited on the faces of peds and along pores.

Soils and Soil-Landscape Units

Soils are natural bodies that are distributed on the

landscape in a predictable way in response to a

systematic interaction of the five factors of soil

formation. The relationship of the landscape to the five

factors results in a soil-landscape unit (Hudson, 1992).

A soil-landscape unit is similar to a landform that has

been modified by one or more of the soil-forming

factors. Within a particular soil-landscape unit, the

same kind of soil should form. Changes in the

interaction of one or more of the five factors leads to a

change in the soil-landscape unit, influencing the soil-
Sangamon County, Illinois 21

forming processes and the soil that forms within this

unit.

The following paragraphs describe the relationships

and interactions that occur in some of the more

common soil-landscape units in Sangamon County

and the soils that have formed in these units.

Upland landscapes predominate in Sangamon

County. These landscapes range from broad, relatively

undissected drainage divides to dissected areas

adjacent to river bluffs. The predominant parent

material in the more stable landscape positions is

loess. Much of the calcium carbonate that was present

when the loess was deposited has been leached to a

sufficient depth to facilitate soil formation.

Low areas on the broad drainage divides are on

stable-aggrading land surfaces that receive water

as direct precipitation and as runoff from upslope

areas. These conditions result in a wet soil

microclimate. A seasonal high water table is at or near

the surface much of the year, and at times the areas

are ponded. Redoximorphic features associated with

prolonged saturated conditions, such as a depleted

soil matrix and iron and manganese accumulations

along root channels and pores, occur throughout the

soil profile.

The native vegetation in this landscape unit

consisted of prairie grasses. Additions of large

amounts of organic matter from the incorporation of

plant residues by soil fauna and from decomposition of

the extensive and deep root systems of the grasses

resulted in a thick, dark surface horizon, called a

mollic epipedon.

The saturated conditions and poor aeration

influenced the rate at which organic matter

decomposed. This rate is slower in soils that are

saturated for prolonged periods, resulting in a thicker

mollic epipedon and a higher content of organic matter

than is characteristic of the better aerated positions

upslope.

The extended periods of saturation impeded the

illuviation of clay and the formation of an argillic

horizon. A cambic horizon has developed through the

aggregation of soil particles into structural units, or

peds, and the development of redoximorphic features.

Sable soils formed in these low areas.

Upslope from the low areas is a soil-landscape unit

that consists of the summits of broad rises on

drainage divides. These summits are stable-degrading

land surfaces that receive water primarily through

direct precipitation. The seasonal high water table and

associated redoximorphic features occur at a lower

depth in the soils of this unit than in the soils in the

adjacent low areas. The redoximorphic features also

indicate a fluctuating water table. The soil microclimate

in the upper part of the profile alternates between

periods when the soils are unsaturated and periods

when they are saturated. A yellowish brown soil matrix

indicates an oxidizing environment. Redoximorphic

depletions along root channels and pores and iron and

manganese accumulations within the matrix, however,

indicate short periods of saturation. The lower part of

the profile is saturated for extended periods and has a

depleted soil matrix.

The native vegetation in this landscape unit

consisted of prairie grasses. The soils of this unit are

better aerated than the soils in low areas and tend to

have a higher rate of organic-matter decomposition.

Thus, they generally have a slightly thinner mollic

epipedon and a lower content of organic matter than

the soils in the low areas.

The fluctuating water table disrupts the soil fabric

through wetting and drying cycles, which aid in the

dispersal of clay, the movement of clay with

percolating water, and the precipitation of clay as films

on the faces of peds and as linings of pores. The result

is the formation of an illuvial horizon called an argillic

horizon. Ipava soils formed in areas of this soillandscape unit.

The soil-landscape unit in the more dissected areas

consists of the broad summits of interfluves. It has

characteristics similar to those of the unit on the

summits of broad rises on drainage divides. These

dissected areas are stable-degrading land surfaces

that receive water primarily through direct

precipitation. Depth to the seasonal high water table

and the associated redoximorphic features are nearly

identical to those of the soil-landscape unit on the

summits of broad rises.

The native vegetation in this soil-landscape unit is

transitional between forest and prairie vegetation. In

areas of forest vegetation, most of the organic matter

is deposited on the surface. In areas of prairie

grasses, extensive root systems provide most of the

organic material. The soils in this unit have a dark

surface layer, but they do not have a mollic epipedon

because the dark surface layer is not thick enough and

does not have a sufficient accumulation of organic

matter. This type of surface horizon is called an ochric

epipedon.

A light colored, eluvial subsurface horizon (called

an albic horizon) also has developed in the soils of this

unit. This horizon is typical of soils that formed under

forest vegetation. In this horizon, much of the clay and

free iron oxides have been removed and the color is

determined primarily by the uncoated silt particles and

sand grains. The translocation of clay from the eluvial
22 Soil Survey of

horizon to the illuvial horizon results in the formation of

an argillic horizon. Clarksdale soils are in areas of this

soil-landscape unit.

Adjacent to this soil-landscape unit is a unit that

also consists of the summits of interfluves but that is

generally closer to the opposing interfluve

drainageways and is on narrower summits. These

summits are stable-degrading land surfaces that

receive water through direct precipitation. Water that

does not infiltrate the soil is lost through surface flow

or runoff. Runoff increases the susceptibility to

erosion.

The seasonal high water table and associated

redoximorphic features occur at a much lower depth

than those in the soils on the broad summits. The

upper part of the soils formed in an oxidizing

environment. The soil matrix is generally yellowish

brown or brown and is free of depletions. The matrix in

the lower part of the profile is yellowish brown and

generally has depletions along pores and root

channels, indicating short periods of saturation.

The native vegetation in areas of this soil-landscape

unit is broadleaf deciduous forest. Under forest

vegetation, most of the addition of organic matter

occurs above ground. Organic matter is not

incorporated as deep in the soil profile as it is in soils

that formed under prairie vegetation, and the content

decreases rapidly with increasing depth. Therefore,

the dark surface layer, which is generally evident prior

to tillage, is thinner than that in the Clarksdale soils.

An ochric epipedon and an albic horizon have

developed.

The more acid leaching environment that occurs

under forest vegetation allows dispersed clay particles

to be translocated to a greater depth than is

characteristic in similar positions under prairie

vegetation. The result is a well developed argillic

horizon. Rozetta soils formed in areas of this soillandscape unit.

Downslope from this soil-landscape unit is a unit

that consists of the shoulders of hillslopes. These are

metastable-degrading land surfaces that receive water

through direct precipitation but also lose some of this

water through runoff. Runoff increases the

susceptibility to erosion.

The seasonal high water table is at a depth similar

to that of the Rozetta soils. The soil matrix is yellowish

brown or brown. Depletions in the lower part of the

profile are generally along pores and root channels.

The native vegetation in this soil-landscape unit is

forest. The soils have an ochric epipedon and albic

and argillic horizons. Navlys soils formed in areas of

this soil-landscape unit.

Farther downslope is a unit that consists of the

backslopes of side slopes. These backslopes are

active-degrading land surfaces that receive water

through direct precipitation but also lose much of this

water through runoff. The loss of water results in a

drier soil microclimate. The seasonal high water table

is below the depth of the developing soil profile. The

entire profile formed in an oxidizing environment. The

soil matrix is yellowish brown or brown and is free of

depletions.

The native vegetation is forest. Like the Navlys

soils, the soils in these areas have an ochric epipedon

and albic and argillic horizons. Fayette soils formed in

areas of this soil-landscape unit.

On the narrow flood plains between opposing side

slopes is an active-aggrading landscape position that

receives sediment during frequent episodes of

flooding. The nearly continual deposition of sediment

interrupts the soil-forming processes. The result is less

time for soil formation to proceed and a less developed

soil profile. A mollic epipedon is evident in the

developing soil profile, but the fine stratification

common to recent alluvial deposits remains and no

diagnostic subsurface horizons occur. Lawson soils

formed in areas of this soil-landscape unit.

Classification of the Soils

The system of soil classification used by the

National Cooperative Soil Survey has six categories

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

these categories are the order, suborder, great group,

subgroup, family, and series. Classification is based on

soil properties observed in the field or inferred from

those observations or from laboratory measurements.

Table 4 shows the classification of the soils in the

county. The categories are defined in the following

paragraphs.

ORDER. Twelve soil orders are recognized. The

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

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

example is 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,

arrangement, and degree of development of
Sangamon County, Illinois 23

pedogenic horizons; soil moisture and temperature

regimes; type of saturation; and base status. Each

great group is identified by the name of a suborder

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

example is 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,

mineralogy class, cation-exchange activity class, soil

temperature regime, soil depth, and reaction class. A

family name consists of the name of a subgroup

preceded by terms that indicate soil properties. An

example is fine-silty, mixed, superactive, 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.

Soil Series and Detailed Soil Map Units

In this section each soil series recognized in the

survey area is described. Each series description is

followed by detailed 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” (Soil Survey Division Staff,

1993). Many of the technical terms used in the

descriptions are defined in “Soil Taxonomy” (Soil

Survey Staff, 1999). 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 soil maps in this

survey represent the soils or miscellaneous areas in

the survey area. The map unit descriptions in this

section, along with the maps, can be used to

determine the suitability and potential of a unit for

specific uses. They also can be used to plan the

management needed for those uses. More information

about each map unit is given under the headings “Use

and Management of the Soils” and “Soil Properties.”

A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an

area dominated by one or more major kinds of soil or

miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and

named according to the taxonomic classification of the

dominant soils. Within a taxonomic class there are

precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils.

On the landscape, however, the soils are natural

phenomena, and they have the characteristic

variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of

some observed properties may extend beyond the

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

single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mapped

without including areas of other taxonomic classes.

Consequently, every map unit is made up of the soils

or miscellaneous areas for which it is named and

some minor components that belong to taxonomic

classes other than those of the major soils.

Most minor soils have properties similar to those of

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

they do not affect use and management. These are

called noncontrasting, or similar, components. They

may or may not be mentioned in a particular map unit

description. Other minor components, however, have

properties and behavioral characteristics divergent

enough to affect use or to require different

management. These are called contrasting, or

dissimilar, components. They generally are in small

areas and could not be mapped separately because of

the scale used. Some small areas of strongly

contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas are identified

by a special symbol on the maps. The contrasting

components are mentioned in the map unit

descriptions. A few areas of minor components may

not have been observed, and consequently they are

not mentioned in the descriptions, especially where

the pattern was so complex that it was impractical to

make enough observations to identify all the soils and

miscellaneous areas on the landscape.

The presence of minor components in a map unit in

no way diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the

data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate pure

taxonomic classes but rather to separate the

landscape into landforms or landform segments that

have similar use and management requirements. The

delineation of such segments on the map provides

sufficient information for the development of resource

plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned,

however, onsite investigation is needed to define and

locate the soils and miscellaneous areas.

An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name

in the map unit descriptions. Each description includes

general facts about the unit and gives the principal

hazards and limitations to be considered in planning

for specific uses.

Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make

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

surface layer 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.
26 Soil Survey of

On the basis of such differences, a soil series is

divided into soil phases. The name of a soil phase

commonly indicates a feature that affects use or

management. For example, Fayette silt loam, 5 to 10

percent slopes, eroded, is a phase of the Fayette

series.

This survey includes miscellaneous areas. Such

areas have little or no soil material and support little or

no vegetation. Pits, sand, is an example.

Table 5 gives the acreage and proportionate extent

of each map unit. Other tables give properties of the

soils and the limitations, capabilities, and potentials for

many uses. The Glossary defines many of the terms

used in describing the soils or miscellaneous areas.

The letters “OSD” following the heading “Typical

Taxadjunct Feature

The Elkhart soils have a dark surface soil that is

thinner than is definitive for the series. This difference,

however, does not significantly affect the use and

management of the soils. The soils are classified as

fine-silty, mixed, superactive, mesic Mollic Hapludalfs.

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 forestland; as sites for buildings, sanitary facilities,

highways and other transportation systems, and parks

and other recreational facilities; for agricultural waste

management; and as wildlife habitat. It can be used to

identify the potentials and limitations of each soil for

specific land uses and to help prevent construction

failures caused by unfavorable soil properties.

Planners and others using soil survey information

can evaluate the effect of specific land uses on

productivity and on the environment in all or part of the

survey area. The survey can help planners to maintain

or create a land use pattern in harmony with the

natural soil.

Contractors can use this survey to locate sources

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

it to identify areas where bedrock, wetness, or very

firm soil layers can cause difficulty in excavation.

Health officials, highway officials, engineers, and

others may also find this survey useful. The survey

can help them plan the safe disposal of wastes and

locate sites for pavements, sidewalks, campgrounds,

playgrounds, lawns, and trees and shrubs.

Interpretive Ratings

The interpretive tables in this survey rate the soils in

the survey area for various uses. Many of the tables

identify the limitations that affect specified uses and

indicate the severity of those limitations. The ratings in

these tables are both verbal and numerical.

Rating Class Terms

Rating classes are expressed in the tables in terms

that indicate the extent to which the soils are limited by

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

terms that indicate the suitability of the soils for the

use. Thus, the tables may show limitation classes or

suitability classes. Terms for the limitation classes are

not limited, somewhat limited, and very limited. The

suitability ratings are expressed as well suited,

moderately suited, poorly suited, and unsuited or as

good, fair, and poor.

Numerical Ratings

Numerical ratings in the tables indicate the relative

severity of individual limitations. The ratings are shown

as decimal fractions ranging from 0.00 to 1.00. They

indicate gradations between the point at which a soil

feature has the greatest negative impact on the use

and the point at which the soil feature is not a

limitation. The limitations appear in order from the

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

one limitation is identified, the most severe limitation is

listed first and the least severe one is listed last.

Crops and Pasture

General management needed for crops and pasture

is suggested in this section. The estimated yields of

the main crops and pasture plants are listed, the

system of land capability classification used by the

Use and Management of the Soils
108 Soil Survey of

A total of 436,440 acres in Sangamon County is

cropland (USDA, 1997). The major row crops are corn

and soybeans. The major small grain crop is wheat.

The soils in Sangamon County have good potential

for continued crop production, especially if the latest

crop-production technology is applied. This soil survey

can be used as a guide in applying this technology.

Management Considerations on Cropland

The management concerns affecting the use of the

soils in Sangamon County for crops and pasture are

shown in the table 6. The main concerns in managing

cropland are crusting, flooding, poor tilth, water

erosion, and wetness. Excess lime, excessive

permeability, high pH, and ponding are additional

management concerns.

Crusting occurs when flowing water or raindrops

break down soil structural units, moving clay

downward and leaving a concentration of sand grains

and silt particles on the surface. Crusts can reduce the

rate of water infiltration, increase the runoff rate, and

restrict seedling emergence and oxygen diffusion to

seedlings.

Crusting can be minimized by increasing soil

aggregate stability through the addition of organic

matter to the surface and by maintaining a cover of

plants or crop residue, which reduces the impact of

raindrops.

Flooding occurs in unprotected areas along the

major rivers and their tributaries. Levees or diversions

reduce the extent of the crop damage caused by

floodwater. Surface drainage ditches help to remove

floodwater where suitable outlets are available.

Management of drainage systems in conformance

with regulations influencing wetlands may require

special permits and extra planning. Selecting crop

varieties that are adapted to shorter growing seasons

and wetter conditions reduces the extent of flood

damage.

Poor tilth can occur in soils when part of the subsoil

is incorporated into the plow layer because of erosion.

Incorporation of subsoil material decreases the

amount of organic matter and increases the content of

clay in the surface soil. Intensive rainfall often causes

surface crusting. Poor tilth also occurs in poorly

drained soils with a high content of clay, regardless of

the content of organic matter, and in soils that have

been excessively tilled.

Poor tilth decreases the rate of water infiltration and

increases the runoff rate and the susceptibility to

erosion on the more sloping soils. Soils with poor tilth

generally have a surface layer that is sticky when wet

and hard and cloddy when dry. They can be tilled only

within a narrow range of moisture content. As a result,

seedbed preparation is difficult.

Returning crop residue to the soil, regularly adding

other organic material, minimizing tillage, and applying

conservation tillage systems during periods of near

optimal soil moisture conditions improve tilth.

Water erosion can occur when the surface soil is

not protected against the impact of raindrops, which

can reduce the stability of soil aggregates. This

reduced stability decreases the rate of water infiltration

and increases the surface runoff rate. Soils with long

or steep slopes are more susceptible to water erosion

than other soils.

Erosion, primarily sheet and rill erosion, removes

the surface soil, which commonly has more biological

activity and organic matter than any other part of the

soil. Soil productivity decreases as the content of

organic matter and level of natural fertility are lowered.

Poor tilth and crusting occur as the subsoil, which is

generally higher in content of clay than the surface

soil, is incorporated through tillage into the plow layer.

Excessive runoff decreases the quality of surface

water through sedimentation and contamination by

pesticides.

Erosion can be controlled by a conservation tillage

system that leaves crop residue on the surface after

planting or by a cropping system that includes grasses

and legumes in the cropping sequence. Contour

farming and/or terraces in combination with a

conservation tillage system can help to control erosion

on soils with long, uniform slopes.

Wetness occurs in soils when the seasonal high

water table is at or near the surface. Subsurface tile

drains can lower the seasonal high water table if

suitable outlets are available. In soils with a high

content of clay and restricted permeability, a

subsurface drainage system may not be practical. In

these soils surface ditches can reduce the wetness.

Management of drainage in conformance with

regulations influencing wetlands may require special

permits and extra planning.

Excess lime occurs in soils that contain a high

content of calcium carbonate at or near the surface.

The lime affects the availability of many plant nutrients

and influences the effectiveness of herbicides.

Frequent applications of a small amount of fertilizer

are needed to correct nutrient imbalances. Crops may

respond well to additions of phosphate fertilizer on

these soils. Applications of herbicide should be

adjusted as the level of alkalinity increases.

Incorporating green manure crops, manure, or crop

residue into the soil, applying a system of
Sangamon County, Illinois 109

conservation tillage, and using conservation cropping

systems also help to overcome this limitation.

Excessive permeability can occur in soils that have

a high content of sand and many of the larger

diameter pores. The capacity of the soils to retain

moisture for plant use is limited. Deep leaching of

nutrients and pesticides is possible. It increases the

risk of ground-water pollution.

Irrigation can supply the moisture needed for crops.

Frequent applications of a small amount of fertilizer

are needed. One application of a large amount can

result in excessive loss of plant nutrients through

leaching.

High pH, or a pH of more than 7.9, affects the

availability of many plant nutrients and influences the

effectiveness of herbicides. Frequent applications of a

small amount of fertilizer are needed to correct

nutrient imbalances. Crops may respond well to

additions of phosphate fertilizer on the soils with a high

pH. Applications of herbicide should be adjusted as

the level of alkalinity increases. Incorporating green

manure crops, manure, or crop residue into the soil,

applying a system of conservation tillage, and using

conservation cropping systems help to overcome this

limitation.

Ponding occurs on soils when the seasonal high

water table is above the surface. Land grading helps to

control ponding. Surface ditches and surface inlet tile

also can help to remove the excess water if suitable

outlets are available. Management of drainage in

conformance with regulations influencing wetlands

may require special permits and extra planning.

Explanation of Criteria

Crusting.—In the surface layer, the average content

of organic matter is 2.5 percent or less and the content

of clay is between 20 and 35 percent.

Excess lime.—The calcium carbonate equivalent is

15 percent or more within 16 inches of the surface.

Excessive permeability.—The lower limit of the

permeability rate is 6.0 or more inches per hour within

the soil profile.

Flooding.—The soil is occasionally flooded or

frequently flooded.

High pH.—The pH is more than 7.9 within a depth

of 40 inches.

Ponding.—The seasonal high water table is above

the surface.

Poor tilth.—The content of clay in the surface layer

is 27 percent or more.

Water erosion.—The Kw factor multiplied by the

slope is more than 0.8, and the slope is 3 percent or

more.

Wetness.—The water table is within a depth of 1.5

feet at some time during the growing season in normal

years.

Management Considerations on Pasture

The management concerns affecting the use of the

soils in the county for pasture are shown in the table 6.

The main management concerns are frost heave, low

pH, and water erosion. Additional management

concerns are an equipment limitation, flooding, high

pH, low fertility, ponding, and wetness.

Frost heave occurs when ice lenses or bands that

drive an ice wedge between two layers develop near

the surface layer of a soil. The ice wedges heave the

overlying soil layer upward, snapping the roots. Soils

with a low content of sand have small pores that hold

water and enable ice lenses to form. Selecting

adapted forage and hay varieties helps to reduce the

effects of frost heave. Timely deferment of grazing

helps to maintain a protective cover that insulates the

soil, thereby reducing the effects of frost heave.

Low pH, or a pH of 5.5 or less, can decrease the

solubility and availability of plant nutrients. Selecting

adapted forage and hay varieties and applying lime

according to the results of soil tests help to overcome

this limitation.

Water erosion can occur in overgrazed areas or

during periods of pasture establishment and

renovation when the surface soil is not protected

against the impact of raindrops, which can cause poor

tilth. Deterioration of tilth decreases the rate of water

infiltration and increases the surface runoff rate. Soils

with long or steep slopes are more susceptible to

water erosion than other soils.

Erosion can be controlled by deferred grazing,

which helps to prevent overgrazing and thus also

helps to prevent surface compaction and excessive

runoff and erosion. Tilling on the contour, using a no-till

system of seeding when a seedbed is prepared or the

pasture is renovated, and selecting adapted forage

and hay varieties also help to control erosion.

An equipment limitation occurs on soils with slopes

of more than 18 percent. This limitation can cause

rapid wear of equipment. It can also hinder fertilization,

harvest, pasture renovation, and seedbed preparation.

It cannot be easily overcome.

Flooding occurs in unprotected areas along the

major rivers and their tributaries. Surface drainage

ditches help to remove floodwater where suitable

outlets are available. Management of drainage in

conformance with regulations may require special

permits and extra planning. Selecting forage and hay
110 Soil Survey of

varieties adapted to shorter growing seasons and

wetter conditions reduces the extent of flood damage.

Restricted use during wet periods helps to keep the

pasture in good condition.

High pH, or a pH of more than 7.9, affects the

availability of many plant nutrients. Frequent

applications of a small amount of fertilizer are needed

to correct nutrient imbalances. Selecting adapted

forage and hay varieties helps to overcome this

limitation.

Low fertility occurs in soils with a low content of

organic matter and a low cation-exchange capacity.

The capacity of the soil to retain nutrients for plant use

is limited. Frequent applications of small amounts of

fertilizer help to prevent excessive loss of plant

nutrients through leaching. When used as part of a

seeding mixture, legumes can provide nitrogen to the

grass varieties. Timely deferment of grazing helps to

maintain the surface cover and the content of organic

matter, a source of nutrients in the soil.

Ponding occurs on soils when the seasonal high

water table is above the surface. Land grading helps to

control ponding. Surface ditches and surface inlet tile

also can help to remove the excess water if suitable

outlets are available. Management of drainage in

conformance with regulations may require special

permits and extra planning. Selecting forage and hay

varieties adapted to wet conditions improves forage

production. Restricted use during wet periods helps to

keep the pasture in good condition.

Wetness occurs in soils when the seasonal high

water table is at or near the surface. Subsurface tile

drains can help to lower the seasonal high water table

if suitable outlets are available. Management of

drainage in conformance with regulations may require

special permits and extra planning. Selecting forage

and hay varieties adapted to wet conditions improves

forage production. Restricted use during wet periods

helps to keep the pasture in good condition.

Explanation of Criteria

Equipment limitation.—The slope is more than 18

percent.

Flooding.—The soil is occasionally flooded or

frequently flooded.

Frost heave.—The potential for frost action is

moderate or high, and the soil is poorly drained or very

poorly drained.

High pH.—The pH is more than 7.9 within a depth

of 40 inches.

Low fertility.—The average content of organic

matter in the surface layer is less than 1 percent, or

the cation-exchange capacity, expressed in terms of

milliequivalents per 100 grams of soil, is 7 or less.

Low pH.—The pH is 5.5 or less within a depth of 40

inches.

Ponding.—The seasonal high water table is above

the surface.

Water erosion.—The Kw factor multiplied by the

slope is more than 1.0, and the slope is 3 percent or

more.

Wetness.— The seasonal high water table is within

a depth of 1.5 feet.

Yields per Acre

The average yields per acre that can be expected

of the principal crops under a high level of

management are shown in table 7. In any given year,

yields may be higher or lower than those indicated in

the table because of variations in rainfall and other

climatic factors. The land capability classification of

map units in the survey area also is shown in the

table.

The yields are based mainly on the experience and

records of farmers, conservationists, and extension

agents. Available yield data from nearby counties and

results of field trials and demonstrations also are

considered (Fehrenbacher et al., 1978).

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 table 7 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 Hay Yields

Under good management, proper grazing is

essential for the production of high-quality forage,
Sangamon County, Illinois 111

stand survival, and erosion control. Proper grazing

helps the 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 given in animal unit

months (AUMs), 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 table 7.

Land Capability Classification

Land capability classification shows, in a general

way, the suitability of soils for most kinds of field crops,

including corn, small grain, and hay. Crops that require

special management are excluded. The soils are

grouped according to their limitations for field crops,

the risk of damage if they are used for crops, and the

way they respond to management. The criteria used in

grouping the soils do not include major and generally

expensive landforming that would change slope,

depth, or other characteristics of the soils, nor do they

include possible but unlikely major reclamation

projects. Capability classification is not a substitute for

interpretations designed to show suitability and

limitations of groups of soils for woodland or for

engineering purposes.

In the capability system, soils are generally grouped

at three levels—capability class, subclass, and unit

(USDA, 1961). Only class and subclass are used in

this survey.

Capability classes, the broadest groups, are

designated by the numbers 1 through 8. The numbers

indicate progressively greater limitations and narrower

choices for practical use. The classes are defined as

follows:

Class 1 soils have slight limitations that restrict their

use.

Class 2 soils have moderate limitations that restrict

the choice of plants or that require moderate

conservation practices.

Class 3 soils have severe limitations that restrict the

choice of plants or that require special conservation

practices, or both.

Class 4 soils have very severe limitations that

restrict the choice of plants or that require very careful

management, or both.

Class 5 soils are subject to little or no erosion but

have other limitations, impractical to remove, that

restrict their use mainly to pasture, rangeland,

forestland, or wildlife habitat.

Class 6 soils have severe limitations that make

them generally unsuitable for cultivation and that

restrict their use mainly to pasture, rangeland,

forestland, or wildlife habitat.

Class 7 soils have very severe limitations that make

them unsuitable for cultivation and that restrict their

use mainly to grazing, forestland, or wildlife habitat.

Class 8 soils and miscellaneous areas have

limitations that preclude commercial plant production

and that restrict their use to recreational purposes,

wildlife habitat, watershed, or esthetic purposes.

Capability subclasses are soil groups within one

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

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

letter e shows that the main hazard is the risk of

erosion unless close-growing plant cover is

maintained; w shows that water in or on the soil

interferes with plant growth or cultivation (in some soils

the wetness can be partly corrected by artificial

drainage); s shows that the soil is limited mainly

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

in only some parts of the United States, shows that the

chief limitation is climate that is very cold or very dry.

In class 1 there are no subclasses because the

soils of this class have few limitations. Class 5

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

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

erosion. They have other limitations that restrict their

use to pasture, rangeland, forestland, wildlife habitat,

or recreation.

The capability classification of map units in this

survey area is given in the section “Detailed Soil Map

Units” and in table 7.

Prime Farmland

Prime farmland is one of several kinds of important

farmland defined by the U.S. Department of

Agriculture. It is of major importance in meeting the

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

fiber. Because the supply of high-quality farmland is

limited, the U.S. Department of Agriculture recognizes

that responsible levels of government, as well as

individuals, should encourage and facilitate the wise

use of our Nation’s prime farmland.

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

of Agriculture, is land that has the best combination of

physical and chemical characteristics for producing

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

available for these uses. It could be cultivated land,

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

urban or built-up land or water areas. The soil qualities,
112 Soil Survey of

growing season, and moisture supply are those

needed for the soil to economically produce sustained

high yields of crops when proper management,

including water management, and acceptable farming

methods are applied. In general, prime farmland has

an adequate and dependable supply of moisture from

precipitation or irrigation, a favorable temperature and

growing season, acceptable acidity or alkalinity, an

acceptable salt and sodium content, and few or no

rocks. It is permeable to water and air. It is not

excessively erodible or saturated with water for long

periods, and it either is not frequently flooded during

the growing season or is protected from flooding.

Slope ranges mainly from 0 to 6 percent. More

detailed information about the criteria for prime

farmland is available at the local office of the Natural

Resources Conservation Service.

A recent trend in land use in some parts of the

survey area has been the loss of some prime farmland

to industrial and urban uses. The loss of prime

farmland to other uses puts pressure on marginal

lands, which generally are more erodible, droughty,

and less productive and cannot be easily cultivated.

About 465,325 acres, or nearly 83 percent of the

county, meets the requirements for prime farmland.

The map units in the county that are considered

prime farmland are listed in table 8. This list does not

constitute a recommendation for a particular land use.

On some soils included in the list, measures that

overcome a hazard or limitation, such as flooding and

wetness, are needed. Onsite evaluation is needed to

determine whether or not the hazard or limitation has

been overcome by corrective measures. The extent of

each listed map unit is shown in table 5. The location

is shown on the detailed soil maps. The soil qualities

that affect use and management are described under

the heading “Detailed Soil Map Units.”

Hydric Soils

In this section, hydric soils are defined and

described and the hydric soils in the survey area are

listed.

The three essential characteristics of wetlands are

hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils, and wetland

hydrology (Cowardin et al., 1979; U.S. Army Corps of

Engineers, 1987; National Research Council, 1995;

Tiner, 1985). Criteria for each of the characteristics

must be met for areas to be identified as wetlands.

Undrained hydric soils that have natural vegetation

should support a dominant population of ecological

wetland plant species. Hydric soils that have been

converted to other uses should be capable of being

restored to wetlands.

Hydric soils are defined by the National Technical

Committee for Hydric Soils (NTCHS) as soils that

formed under conditions of saturation, flooding, or

ponding long enough during the growing season to

develop anaerobic conditions in the upper part

(Federal Register, 1994). These soils are either

saturated or inundated long enough during the

growing season to support the growth and

reproduction of hydrophytic vegetation.

The NTCHS definition identifies general soil

properties that are associated with wetness. In order

to determine whether a specific soil is a hydric soil or

nonhydric soil, however, more specific information,

such as information about the depth and duration of

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

those estimated soil properties unique to hydric soils

have been established (Federal Register, 1995). These

criteria are used to identify a phase of a soil series

that normally is associated with wetlands. The criteria

used are selected estimated soil properties that are

described in “Soil Taxonomy” (Soil Survey Staff, 1999)

and in the “Soil Survey Manual” (Soil Survey Division

Staff, 1993).

If soils are wet enough for a long enough period to

be considered hydric, they should exhibit certain

properties that can be easily observed in the field.

These visible properties are indicators of hydric soils.

The indicators used to make onsite determinations of

hydric soils in this survey area are specified in “Field

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

al., 1998).

Hydric soils are identified by examining and

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

depth may be greater if determination of an

appropriate indicator so requires. It is always

recommended that soils be excavated and described

to the depth necessary for an understanding of the

redoximorphic processes. Then, using the completed

soil descriptions, soil scientists can compare the soil

features required by each indicator and specify which

indicators have been matched with the conditions

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

hydric soil if at least one of the approved indicators is

present.

The following map units meet the definition of hydric

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

soil indicators. This list can help in planning land uses;

however, onsite investigation is recommended to

determine the hydric soils on a specific site (National

Research Council, 1995; Hurt et al., 1998).

Map units that are made up mainly of hydric soils

may have small areas, or inclusions, of nonhydric soils

in the higher positions on the landform, and map units

made up mainly of nonhydric soils may have

inclusions of hydric soils in the lower positions on the

landform. Table 9 indicates the hydric and nonhydric

soils identified in the names of the detailed map units

in the county. The table also identifies the included

soils that are considered hydric. Onsite investigation is

recommended to determine whether hydric soils occur

and the location of the included hydric soils.

Windbreaks and Environmental

Plantings

Windbreaks protect livestock, buildings, yards, fruit

trees, gardens, and cropland from wind and snow;

help to keep snow on fields; and provide food and

cover for wildlife. Several rows of low- and highgrowing 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.

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

the potential heights are necessary when a windbreak

is planned and designed.

Table 10 shows the height that locally grown trees

and shrubs are expected to reach in 20 years on

various soils. The estimates in table 10 are based on

measurements and observation of established

plantings that have been given adequate care. They

can be used as a guide in planning windbreaks and

screens. Additional information on planning

windbreaks and screens and planting and caring for

trees and shrubs can be obtained from the local office

of the Natural Resources Conservation Service or of

the Cooperative Extension Service or from a

commercial nursery.

Forestland

John Churan, district forester, Illinois Department of Natural

Resources, helped prepare this section.

Approximately 5 percent (29,100 acres) of

Sangamon County is forested. Of this total, only about

2,000 acres is under management by a forester

(Iverson et al., 1989).

The forestland is mainly in sloping areas, on the

narrower bottomland, and in strips along the

Sangamon River and its tributaries. Originally, these

areas were heavily if not entirely forested, but the

flatter areas were converted to agriculture long ago.

Adjoining the upper slopes were flat forest areas that

transitioned into prairie, gradually in some places

(savannah sites) and abruptly in others. These areas

have also, for the most part, been converted to

agriculture, although forested areas remain in a few

places. Overall, Sangamon County is part of the

“Grand Prairie” (Swegman, 1979), and of some

129,400 original forest acres, about 20 percent

remains today.

By far, the bulk of forest in the county is in areas of

the sloping Hickory soils. Some forested areas extend

onto the adjoining Alvin, Elco, Fayette, Keomah,

Rozetta, Thebes, and other soils. Upland tree species

are sensitive to differences in soils. Some species are

adapted to certain sites but are only marginally

adapted or are not adapted at all to other sites. A

broad listing of species would include red chinquapin

oak, white chinquapin oak, black chinquapin oak, bur
114 Soil Survey of

oak, hickory, walnut, elm, and hackberry. A serious

disease affects white ash, which was once prominent.

Hard maple is making strong incursions onto many of

the shadier, moist slopes typically occupied by red

oak. American elm is ubiquitous in the understory but

occurs rarely as a larger tree.

Remnant forest sites are on the flood plains. These

sites can be seeded readily, though reed canarygrass

can be preemptive. Radford soils are the most

common forest-associated soils on these sites, but

Lawson, Tice, Sawmill, and certain other soils also are

well represented. Soft maple is ubiquitous, but

common associates include cottonwood, green ash,

and sycamore. Some sites in which the soils have

better internal drainage support walnut, hackberry,

bitternut hickory, and assorted other bottomland

species. Box elder, which is fairly widespread, is

generally considered a “weed species.”

The many values of forestland include economic

benefits (timber production), wildlife habitat, erosion

control or prevention, ground-water infiltration or

retention, water quality (including filtering and

cleansing of agricultural pollutants), esthetic values,

and recreational opportunities. All of these features

can be enhanced through proper management.

Soil properties that affect the growth of trees

include reaction (pH), fertility, drainage, texture,

structure, and soil depth. The soil also serves as a

reservoir for moisture, provides an anchor for tree

roots, and supplies essential plant nutrients. Soils that

do not have extremes of these properties and that

have an effective rooting depth of more than 40 inches

allow the best growth for wood production.

Site characteristics that affect tree growth include

aspect (the direction in which the slopes face) and

degree of slope. These site characteristics influence

the amount of available sunlight, drainage, soil

temperature, soil moisture, and relative humidity.

Typically, north and east aspects and the lower

slope positions, which are cooler and have better

moisture conditions than other sites, are the best

upland sites for tree growth. The most productive sites

on bottomland are generally the deep, moderately well

drained soils that are subject to occasional flooding.

Management activities can influence forestland

productivity and should be aimed at eliminating factors

that cause tree stress. Generally, these activities

involve thinning overstocked young stands; harvesting

old, mature trees; and eliminating wildfire and grazing.

Wildfire and grazing have very negative impacts on

forest growth and quality. Grazing destroys the leaf

layer on the surface, compacts the soils, and

eliminates or damages tree seedlings. Forestland sites

that are not grazed have the highest potential for

optimum timber production. Currently, relatively little

forestland in the survey area is subject to grazing.

Where regeneration of forest stands is desired, the

best approach is to concentrate on the mixture (or

“composition”) of the species that originally occupied

the site. Reforestation can be attempted by various

means, including planting seedlings or tree seeds,

encouraging natural regeneration, or a combination of

these. Because of varying field conditions, planting

trees in areas of bottomland along the Sangamon

River can be difficult, especially in terms of timing,

scheduling, and other logistics. Assistance can be

obtained from a professional forester.

Similarly, a forester’s assistance should be sought

before a stand is manipulated for the purpose of

improving or optimizing composition, growth rates, and

tree quality.

The tables in this section (tables 11 through 16) can

help forest owners or managers plan the use of soils

for wood crops. They show the potential productivity of

the soils for wood crops and rate the soils according to

the limitations that affect various aspects of forest

management.

Forest Productivity

In table 11, the potential productivity of

merchantable or common trees on a soil is expressed

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

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

codominant trees of a given species attain in a

specified number of years. The site index applies to

fully stocked, even-aged, unmanaged stands.

Commonly grown trees are those that forest managers

generally favor in intermediate or improvement

cuttings. They are selected on the basis of growth rate,

quality, value, and marketability. More detailed

information regarding site index is available in the

“National Forestry Manual,” which is available in local

offices of the Natural Resources Conservation Service

or on the Internet.

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

likely to be produced by the most important tree

species. This number, expressed as cubic feet per

acre per year and calculated at the age of culmination

of the mean annual increment (CMAI), indicates the

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

Suggested trees to plant are those that are

preferred for planting, seeding, or natural regeneration

and those that remain in the stand after thinning or

partial harvest.

Forest Management

In tables 12 through 16, interpretive ratings are

given for various aspects of forest management. The

ratings are both verbal and numerical.

Some rating class terms indicate the degree to

which the soils are suited to a specified forest

management practice. Well suited indicates that the

soil has features that are favorable for the specified

practice and has no limitations. Good performance can

be expected, and little or no maintenance is needed.

Moderately suited indicates that the soil has features

that are moderately favorable for the specified practice.

One or more soil properties are less than desirable,

and fair performance can be expected. Some

maintenance is needed. Poorly suited indicates that

the soil has one or more properties that are

unfavorable for the specified practice. Overcoming the

unfavorable properties requires special design, extra

maintenance, and costly alteration. Unsuited indicates

that the expected performance of the soil is

unacceptable for the specified practice or that extreme

measures are needed to overcome the undesirable

soil properties.

Numerical ratings in the tables indicate the severity

of individual limitations. The ratings are shown as

decimal fractions ranging from 0.01 to 1.00. They

indicate gradations between the point at which a soil

feature has the greatest negative impact on the

specified forest management practice (1.00) and the

point at which the soil feature is not a limitation (0.00).

Rating class terms for fire damage and seedling

mortality are expressed as low, moderate, and high.

Where these terms are used, the numerical ratings

indicate gradations between the point at which the

potential for fire damage or seedling mortality is

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

lowest (0.00).

The paragraphs that follow indicate the soil

properties considered in rating the soils for forest

management practices. More detailed information

about the criteria used in the ratings is available in the

“National Forestry Manual,” which is available in local

offices of the Natural Resources Conservation Service

or on the Internet.

For limitations affecting construction of haul roads

and log landings, the ratings are based on slope,

flooding, permafrost, plasticity index, the hazard of soil

slippage, content of sand, the Unified classification,

rock fragments on or below the surface, depth to a

restrictive layer that is indurated, depth to a water

table, and ponding. The limitations are described as

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

that no significant limitations affect construction

activities, moderate indicates that one or more

limitations can cause some difficulty in construction,

and severe indicates that one or more limitations can

make construction very difficult or very costly.

The ratings of suitability for log landings are based

on slope, rock fragments on the surface, plasticity

index, content of sand, the Unified classification, depth

to a water table, ponding, flooding, and the hazard of

soil slippage. The soils are described as well suited,

moderately suited, or poorly suited to use as log

landings.

Ratings in the column soil rutting hazard are based

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

the surface, the Unified classification, depth to a

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

operation of forest equipment. The hazard is described

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

indicates that the soil is subject to little or no rutting,

moderate indicates that rutting is likely, and severe

indicates that ruts form readily.

Ratings in the column hazard of off-road or off-trail

erosion are based on slope and on soil erodibility

factor K. The soil loss is caused by sheet or rill erosion

in off-road or off-trail areas where 50 to 75 percent of

the surface has been exposed by logging, grazing,

mining, or other kinds of disturbance. The hazard is

described as slight, moderate, severe, or very severe.

A rating of slight indicates that erosion is unlikely

under ordinary climatic conditions; moderate indicates

that some erosion is likely and that erosion-control

measures may be needed; severe indicates that

erosion is very likely and that erosion-control

measures, including revegetation of bare areas, are

advised; and very severe indicates that significant

erosion is expected, loss of soil productivity and offsite damage are likely, and erosion-control measures

are costly and generally impractical.

Ratings in the column hazard of erosion on roads

and trails are based on the soil erodibility factor K,

slope, and content of rock fragments. The ratings

apply to unsurfaced roads and trails. The hazard is

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

slight indicates that little or no erosion is likely;

moderate indicates that some erosion is likely, that the

roads or trails may require occasional maintenance;

and that simple erosion-control measures are needed;

and severe indicates that significant erosion is

expected, that the roads or trails require frequent

maintenance, and that costly erosion-control

measures are needed.

Ratings in the column suitability for roads (natural

surface) are based on slope, rock fragments on the
116 Soil Survey of

surface, plasticity index, content of sand, the Unified

classification, depth to a water table, ponding, flooding,

and the hazard of soil slippage. The ratings indicate

the suitability for using the natural surface of the soil

for roads. The soils are described as well suited,

moderately suited, or poorly suited to this use.

Ratings in the columns suitability for hand planting

and suitability for mechanical planting are based on

slope, depth to a restrictive layer, content of sand,

plasticity index, rock fragments on or below the

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

are described as well suited, moderately suited, poorly

suited, or unsuited to these methods of planting. It is

assumed that necessary site preparation is completed

before seedlings are planted.

Ratings in the column suitability for use of

harvesting equipment are based on slope, rock

fragments on the surface, plasticity index, content of

sand, the Unified classification, depth to a water table,

and ponding. The soils are described as well suited,

moderately suited, or poorly suited to this use.

Ratings in the column suitability for mechanical site

preparation (surface) are based on slope, depth to a

restrictive layer, plasticity index, rock fragments on or

below the surface, depth to a water table, and ponding.

The soils are described as well suited, poorly suited,

or unsuited to this management activity. The part of

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

considered in the ratings.

Ratings in the column suitability for mechanical site

preparation (deep) are based on slope, depth to a

restrictive layer, rock fragments on or below the

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

are described as well suited, poorly suited, or unsuited

to this management activity. The part of the soil from

the surface to a depth of about 3 feet is considered in

the ratings.

Ratings in the column potential for damage to soil

by fire are based on texture of the surface layer,

content of rock fragments and organic matter in the

surface layer, thickness of the surface layer, and slope.

The soils are described as having a low, moderate, or

high potential for this kind of damage. The ratings

indicate an evaluation of the potential impact of

prescribed fires or wildfires that are intense enough to

remove the duff layer and consume organic matter in

the surface layer.

Ratings in the column potential for seedling

mortality are based on flooding, ponding, depth to a

water table, content of lime, reaction, salinity, available

water capacity, soil moisture regime, soil temperature

regime, aspect, and slope. The soils are described as

having a low, moderate, or high potential for seedling

mortality.

Recreation

Dan Stephenson, district fisheries biologist, Illinois Department

of Natural Resources, helped prepare this section.

Sangamon County has many historic sites that

attract tourists (USDA, 1972). Of special importance

are the Lincoln Tomb State Memorial and the Lincoln

Home State Memorial in Springfield.

The potential for development of recreational

facilities is fair throughout most of the county. Lake

Springfield and the Sangamon River provide good

opportunities for fishing, boating, and swimming, and

the surrounding areas provide good opportunities for

picnicking, hunting, camping, and hiking. Several

hundred acres of Sangchris Lake are in the

southeastern part of the county. This State-owned lake

is suitable for fishing, boating, and other recreational

activities.

More than 70 species of fish inhabit the waters of

Sangamon County. Prime opportunities for fishing are

available on rivers, streams, lakes, and farm ponds.

The county has about 428 miles, or 1,611 acres, of

streams. The Sangamon River flows for more than 50

miles in the county. Major fishing areas are the

Sangamon River, the South Fork of the Sangamon

River, and Lick Creek and Sugar Creek directly west

of Springfield. These areas support largemouth bass,

white bass, crappie, sunfish species, walleye, drum,

carp, and catfish species (Illinois Department of

Conservation, 1971).

The county has approximately 1,100 lakes and

ponds. Of these, about 1,000 are private ponds and 80

are organizational lakes. These private waters

encompass about 1,116 acres. There are

approximately 30 public bodies of water totaling more

than 4,400 acres (Illinois Department of Natural

Resources, 2000b).

Lake Springfield is the most heavily fished

impoundment located entirely in the county.

Approximately 25,000 fishing trips are made to that

lake each year (Illinois Department of Conservation,

1991). Lake Sangchris, partially located in Sangamon

County, is one of the most heavily fished lakes in the

State. About 65,000 angling trips are made to this lake

each year (Illinois Department of Natural Resources,

2000c). Both Lake Springfield and Lake Sangchris

have excellent populations of largemouth bass,

channel catfish, and flathead catfish. The populations
Sangamon County, Illinois 117

of crappie are very good in Lake Sangchris but have

fallen off in recent years in Lake Springfield. Lake

Springfield has a very good white bass and walleye

fishery. Lake Sangchris supports a striped bass

fishery and currently holds the State record for that

species (31 pounds 7 ounces). Both lakes have

average or slightly above average populations of

bluegill.

There are several other public lakes in the county,

including an Illinois Department of Transportation lake

and Lakes Williamsville, Loami, and Washington Park.

More than 13,000 residents of Sangamon County

enjoy angling opportunities each year and add more

than $8 million to the local economy (Illinois

Department of Natural Resources, 2000a).

The soils of the survey area are rated in tables 17

and 18 according to limitations that affect their

suitability for recreation. The ratings are both verbal

and numerical. Rating class terms indicate the extent

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

that affect the recreational uses. Not limited indicates

that the soil has features that are very favorable for the

specified use. Good performance and very low

maintenance can be expected. Somewhat limited

indicates that the soil has features that are moderately

favorable for the specified use. The limitations can be

overcome or minimized by special planning, design, or

installation. Fair performance and moderate

maintenance can be expected. Very limited indicates

that the soil has one or more features that are

unfavorable for the specified use. The limitations

generally cannot be overcome without major soil

reclamation, special design, or expensive installation

procedures. Poor performance and high maintenance

can be expected.

Numerical ratings in the tables indicate the severity

of individual limitations. The ratings are shown as

decimal fractions ranging from 0.01 to 1.00. They

indicate gradations between the point at which a soil

feature has the greatest negative impact on the use

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

limitation (0.00).

The ratings in the tables are based on restrictive

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

the surface layer. Susceptibility to flooding is

considered. Not considered in the ratings, but

important in evaluating a site, are the location and

accessibility of the area, the size and shape of the

area and its scenic quality, vegetation, access to

water, potential water impoundment sites, and access

to public sewer lines. The capacity of the soil to absorb

septic tank effluent and the ability of the soil to support

vegetation also are important. Soils that are subject to

flooding are limited for recreational uses by the

duration and intensity of flooding and the season when

flooding occurs. In planning recreational facilities,

onsite assessment of the height, duration, intensity,

and frequency of flooding is essential.

The information in tables 17 and 18 can be

supplemented by other information in this survey, for

example, interpretations for building site development,

construction materials, sanitary facilities, and water

management.

Camp areas require site preparation, such as

shaping and leveling the tent and parking areas,

stabilizing roads and intensively used areas, and

installing sanitary facilities and utility lines. Camp

areas are subject to heavy foot traffic and some

vehicular traffic. The ratings are based on the soil

properties that affect the ease of developing camp

areas and the performance of the areas after

development. Slope, stoniness, and depth to bedrock

or a cemented pan are the main concerns affecting

the development of camp areas. The soil properties

that affect the performance of the areas after

development are those that influence trafficability and

promote the growth of vegetation, especially in heavily

used areas. For good trafficability, the surface of camp

areas should absorb rainfall readily, remain firm under

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

properties that influence trafficability are texture of the

surface layer, depth to a water table, ponding, flooding,

permeability, and large stones. The soil properties that

affect the growth of plants are depth to bedrock or a

cemented pan, permeability, and toxic substances in

the soil.

Picnic areas are subject to heavy foot traffic. Most

vehicular traffic is confined to access roads and

parking areas. The ratings are based on the soil

properties that affect the ease of developing picnic

areas and that influence trafficability and the growth of

vegetation after development. Slope and stoniness are

the main concerns affecting the development of picnic

areas. For good trafficability, the surface of picnic

areas should absorb rainfall readily, remain firm under

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

properties that influence trafficability are texture of the

surface layer, depth to a water table, ponding, flooding,

permeability, and large stones. The soil properties that

affect the growth of plants are depth to bedrock or a

cemented pan, permeability, and toxic substances in

the soil.

Playgrounds require soils that are nearly level, are

free of stones, and can withstand intensive foot traffic.
118 Soil Survey of

The ratings are based on the soil properties that affect

the ease of developing playgrounds and that influence

trafficability and the growth of vegetation after

development. Slope and stoniness are the main

concerns affecting the development of playgrounds.

For good trafficability, the surface of the playgrounds

should absorb rainfall readily, remain firm under heavy

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

properties that influence trafficability are texture of the

surface layer, depth to a water table, ponding, flooding,

permeability, and large stones. The soil properties that

affect the growth of plants are depth to bedrock or a

cemented pan, permeability, and toxic substances in

the soil.

Paths and trails for hiking and horseback riding

should require little or no slope modification through

cutting and filling. The ratings are based on the soil

properties that affect trafficability and erodibility. These

properties are stoniness, depth to a water table,

ponding, flooding, slope, and texture of the surface

layer.

Off-road motorcycle trails require little or no site

preparation. They are not covered with surfacing

material or vegetation. Considerable compaction of the

soil material is likely. The ratings are based on the soil

properties that influence erodibility, trafficability,

dustiness, and the ease of revegetation. These

properties are stoniness, slope, depth to a water table,

ponding, flooding, and texture of the surface layer.

Golf fairways are subject to heavy foot traffic and

some light vehicular traffic. Cutting or filling may be

required. Irrigation is not considered in the ratings. The

ratings are based on the soil properties that affect

plant growth and trafficability after vegetation is

established. The properties that affect plant growth are

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

bedrock or a cemented pan; the available water

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

sodium, or calcium carbonate; and sulfidic materials.

The properties that affect trafficability are flooding,

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

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

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

roughs, and greens is not considered in the ratings.

Wildlife Habitat

Michael Chandler, district wildlife habitat biologist, Illinois

Department of Natural Resources, helped prepare this section.

The soils in Sangamon County support habitat for a

variety of wildlife, including pheasant, quail, mourning

dove, turkey, white-tailed deer, squirrel, rabbit,

songbirds, fox, raccoon, mink, and muskrat. Snipe,

heron, and other shore birds inhabit the bottomland

areas. The streams and lakes support smallmouth

bass, catfish, carp, and sunfish. Many farm ponds are

stocked with largemouth bass and bluegill. These

ponds provide habitat for migratory ducks in spring

and fall as well as habitat for giant Canada geese.

Most areas in the county can be improved for use

as wildlife habitat. The map units described in the

section “Soil Series and Detailed Soil Map Units” can

be grouped into two major wildlife areas. These areas

are described in the following paragraphs.

Wildlife area 1.—Osco, Keomah, Assumption,

Ipava, Sable, Sawmill, Radford, and Tice soils are the

major soil types in this wildlife area. These soils are

nearly level to strongly sloping and are poorly drained

to well drained. Sawmill, Radford, and Tice soils are

subject to flooding.

This wildlife area consists mainly of cropland, much

of which is used for corn or soybeans year after year.

This area provides habitat for ring-necked pheasant,

raccoon, deer, meadowlark, grasshoppers, sparrow,

fox, snakes, and other openland wildlife.

The habitat is generally of poor quality because of

the lack of crop residue, herbaceous nesting, roosting

cover, woody cover, travel lanes, and hedgerows.

Wildlife would benefit from delayed mowing of grassy

cover on roadsides and ditchbanks and along

waterways until after the nesting season. Protection of

woody cover and management of crop residue are

also important.

Wildlife area 2.—Fayette, Rozetta, Elco, Alvin,

Navlys, Hickory, and Middletown soils are the major

soil types in this wildlife area. These soils are gently

sloping to steep and are well drained or moderately

well drained.

This wildlife area borders the major streams in the

county, and it provides much more diversified habitat

than wildlife area 1. It consists of cropland, pasture,

and forestland. The major game species are ringnecked pheasant, white-tailed deer, mourning dove,

bobwhite quail, turkey, fox, squirrel, and rabbit. The

nongame species include those that inhabit brushy

cover and forestland in addition to those listed in the

description of wildlife area 1.

Pasture management, protection of forestland from

livestock, crop residue management, and delayed

mowing of grassy cover can benefit wildlife in this

area.

Soils affect the kind and amount of vegetation that

is available to wildlife as food and cover. They also

affect the construction of water impoundments. The

kind and abundance of wildlife depend largely on the

amount and distribution of food, cover, and water.

Wildlife habitat can be created or improved by planting
Sangamon County, Illinois 119

appropriate vegetation, by maintaining the existing

plant cover, or by promoting the natural establishment

of desirable plants.

In table 19, the soils in the survey area are rated

according to their potential for providing habitat for

various kinds of wildlife. This information can be used

in planning parks, wildlife refuges, nature study areas,

and other developments for wildlife; in selecting soils

that are suitable for establishing, improving, or

maintaining specific elements of wildlife habitat; and in

determining the intensity of management needed for

each element of the habitat.

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

very poor. A rating of good indicates that the element

or kind of habitat is easily established, improved, or

maintained. Few or no limitations affect management,

and satisfactory results can be expected. A rating of

fair indicates that the element or kind of habitat can be

established, improved, or maintained in most places.

Moderately intensive management is required for

satisfactory results. A rating of poor indicates that

limitations are severe for the designated element or

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

maintained in most places, but management is difficult

and must be intensive. A rating of very poor indicates

that restrictions for the element or kind of habitat are

very severe and that unsatisfactory results can be

expected. Creating, improving, or maintaining habitat

is impractical or impossible.

The elements of wildlife habitat are described in the

following paragraphs.

Grain and seed crops are domestic grains and

seed-producing herbaceous plants. Soil properties

and features that affect the growth of grain and seed

crops are depth of the root zone, texture of the

surface layer, available water capacity, wetness, slope,

surface stoniness, and flooding. Soil temperature and

soil moisture also are considerations. Examples of

grain and seed crops are corn, soybeans, wheat, and

oats.

Grasses and legumes are domestic perennial

grasses and herbaceous legumes. Soil properties and

features that affect the growth of grasses and legumes

are depth of the root zone, texture of the surface layer,

available water capacity, wetness, surface stoniness,

flooding, and slope. Soil temperature and soil moisture

also are considerations. Examples of grasses and

legumes are bromegrass, timothy, orchardgrass,

clover, and alfalfa.

Wild herbaceous plants are native or naturally

established grasses and forbs, including weeds. Soil

properties and features that affect the growth of these

plants are depth of the root zone, texture of the

surface layer, available water capacity, wetness,

surface stoniness, and flooding. Soil temperature and

soil moisture also are considerations. Examples of wild

herbaceous plants are bluestem, indiangrass,

goldenrod, beggarweed, ragweed, and foxtail.

Hardwood trees and woody understory produce

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

foliage. Soil properties and features that affect the

growth of hardwood trees and shrubs are depth of the

root zone, available water capacity, and wetness.

Examples of these plants are oak, cherry, cottonwood,

apple, hawthorn, hickory, blackberry, elderberry,

maple, green ash, and willow. Examples of fruitproducing shrubs that are suitable for planting on soils

rated good are American plum, hazelnut, dogwood,

and arrowwood.

Coniferous plants furnish browse and seeds. Soil

properties and features that affect the growth of

coniferous trees, shrubs, and ground cover are depth

of the root zone, available water capacity, and

wetness. Examples of coniferous plants are pine,

spruce, cedar, fir, and juniper.

Wetland plants are annual and perennial wild

herbaceous plants that grow on moist or wet sites.

Submerged or floating aquatic plants are excluded.

Soil properties and features affecting wetland plants

are texture of the surface layer, wetness, reaction,

salinity, slope, and surface stoniness. Examples of

wetland plants are smartweed, wild millet, cordgrass,

rushes, sedges, and reeds.

Shallow water areas have an average depth of less

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

created by dams, levees, or other water-control

structures. Soil properties and features affecting

shallow water areas are depth to bedrock, wetness,

surface stoniness, slope, and permeability. Examples

of shallow water areas are waterfowl feeding areas,

wildlife watering developments, marshes, and beaver

ponds and other wildlife ponds.

The habitat for various kinds of wildlife is described

in the following paragraphs.

Habitat for openland wildlife consists of cropland,

pasture, meadows, and areas that are overgrown with

grasses, herbs, shrubs, and vines. These areas

produce grain and seed crops, grasses and legumes,

and wild herbaceous plants. Wildlife attracted to these

areas include ring-necked pheasant, bobwhite quail,

meadowlark, field sparrow, cottontail rabbit, and red

fox.

Habitat for woodland wildlife consists of areas of

deciduous and/or coniferous plants and associated

grasses, legumes, and wild herbaceous plants. Wildlife

attracted to these areas include wild turkey, thrushes,
120 Soil Survey of

woodpeckers, owls, tree squirrels, raccoon, woodcock,

and white-tailed deer.

Habitat for wetland wildlife consists of open, marshy

or swampy shallow water areas. Some of the wildlife

attracted to such areas are ducks, geese, herons,

shore birds, muskrat, mink, and beaver.

Engineering

This section provides information for planning land

uses related to urban development and to water

management. Soils are rated for various uses, and the

most limiting features are identified. Ratings are given

for building site development, sanitary facilities,

construction materials, and water management. The

ratings are based on observed performance of the

soils and on the data in the tables described under the

heading “Soil Properties.”

Information in this section is intended for land use

planning, for evaluating land use alternatives, and for

planning site investigations prior to design and

construction. The information, however, has limitations.

For example, estimates and other data generally apply

only to that part of the soil between the surface and a

depth of 5 to 7 feet. Because of the map scale, small

areas of different soils may be included within the

mapped areas of a specific soil.

The information is not site specific and does not

eliminate the need for onsite investigation of the soils

or for testing and analysis by personnel experienced in

the design and construction of engineering works.

Government ordinances and regulations that

restrict certain land uses or impose specific design

criteria were not considered in preparing the

information in this section. Local ordinances and

regulations should be considered in planning, in site

selection, and in design.

Soil properties, site features, and observed

performance were considered in determining the

ratings in this section. During the fieldwork for this soil

survey, determinations were made about particle-size

distribution, liquid limit, plasticity index, soil reaction,

depth to bedrock, hardness of bedrock within 5 to 7

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

table, ponding, slope, likelihood of flooding, natural soil

structure aggregation, and soil density. Data were

collected about kinds of clay minerals, mineralogy of

the sand and silt fractions, and the kinds of adsorbed

cations. Estimates were made for erodibility,

permeability, corrosivity, shrink-swell potential,

available water capacity, and other behavioral

characteristics affecting engineering uses.

This information can be used to evaluate the

potential of areas for residential, commercial,

industrial, and recreational uses; make preliminary

estimates of construction conditions; evaluate

alternative routes for roads, streets, highways,

pipelines, and underground cables; evaluate

alternative sites for sanitary landfills, septic tank

absorption fields, and sewage lagoons; plan detailed

onsite investigations of soils and geology; locate

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

plan drainage systems, irrigation systems, ponds,

terraces, and other structures for soil and water

conservation; and predict performance of proposed

small structures and pavements by comparing the

performance of existing similar structures on the same

or similar soils.

The information in the tables, along with the soil

maps, the soil descriptions, and other data provided in

this survey, can be used to make additional

interpretations.

Some of the terms used in this soil survey have a

special meaning in soil science and are defined in the

Glossary.

Building Site Development

Soil properties influence the development of

building sites, including the selection of the site, the

design of the structure, construction, performance

after construction, and maintenance. Tables 20 and 21

show the degree and kind of soil limitations that affect

dwellings with and without basements, small

commercial buildings, local roads and streets, shallow

excavations, and lawns and landscaping.

The ratings in the tables are both verbal and

numerical. Rating class terms indicate the extent to

which the soils are limited by all of the soil features

that affect building site development. Not limited

indicates that the soil has features that are very

favorable for the specified use. Good performance and

very low maintenance can be expected. Somewhat

limited indicates that the soil has features that are

moderately favorable for the specified use. The

limitations can be overcome or minimized by special

planning, design, or installation. Fair performance and

moderate maintenance can be expected. Very limited

indicates that the soil has one or more features that

are unfavorable for the specified use. The limitations

generally cannot be overcome without major soil

reclamation, special design, or expensive installation

procedures. Poor performance and high maintenance

can be expected.

Numerical ratings in the tables indicate the severity

of individual limitations. The ratings are shown as

decimal fractions ranging from 0.01 to 1.00. They

indicate gradations between the point at which a soil
Sangamon County, Illinois 121

feature has the greatest negative impact on the use

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

limitation (0.00).

Dwellings are single-family houses of three stories

or less. For dwellings without basements, the

foundation is assumed to consist of spread footings of

reinforced concrete built on undisturbed soil at a depth

of 2 feet or at the depth of maximum frost penetration,

whichever is deeper. For dwellings with basements,

the foundation is assumed to consist of spread

footings of reinforced concrete built on undisturbed soil

at a depth of about 7 feet. The ratings for dwellings are

based on the soil properties that affect the capacity of

the soil to support a load without movement and on

the properties that affect excavation and construction

costs. The properties that affect the load-supporting

capacity include depth to a water table, ponding,

flooding, subsidence, linear extensibility (shrink-swell

potential), and compressibility. Compressibility is

inferred from the Unified classification. The properties

that affect the ease and amount of excavation include

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

to bedrock or a cemented pan, hardness of bedrock or

a cemented pan, and the amount and size of rock

fragments.

Small commercial buildings are structures that are

less than three stories high and do not have

basements. The foundation is assumed to consist of

spread footings of reinforced concrete built on

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

maximum frost penetration, whichever is deeper. The

ratings are based on the soil properties that affect the

capacity of the soil to support a load without

movement and on the properties that affect excavation

and construction costs. The properties that affect the

load-supporting capacity include depth to a water

table, ponding, flooding, subsidence, linear

extensibility (shrink-swell potential), and

compressibility (which is inferred from the Unified

classification). The properties that affect the ease and

amount of excavation include flooding, depth to a

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

cemented pan, hardness of bedrock or a cemented

pan, and the amount and size of rock fragments.

Local roads and streets have an all-weather surface

and carry automobile and light truck traffic all year.

They have a subgrade of cut or fill soil material; a base

of gravel, crushed rock, or soil material stabilized by

lime or cement; and a surface of flexible material

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

binder. The ratings are based on the soil properties

that affect the ease of excavation and grading and the

traffic-supporting capacity. The properties that affect

the ease of excavation and grading are depth to

bedrock or a cemented pan, hardness of bedrock or a

cemented pan, depth to a water table, ponding,

flooding, the amount of large stones, and slope. The

properties that affect the traffic-supporting capacity

are soil strength (as inferred from the AASHTO group

index number), subsidence, linear extensibility (shrinkswell potential), the potential for frost action, depth to a

water table, and ponding.

Shallow excavations are trenches or holes dug to a

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

open ditches, or other purposes. The ratings are

based on the soil properties that influence the ease of

digging and the resistance to sloughing. Depth to

bedrock or a cemented pan, hardness of bedrock or a

cemented pan, the amount of large stones, and dense

layers influence the ease of digging, filling, and

compacting. Depth to the seasonal high water table,

flooding, and ponding may restrict the period when

excavations can be made. Slope influences the ease

of using machinery. Soil texture, depth to the water

table, and linear extensibility (shrink-swell potential)

influence the resistance to sloughing.

Lawns and landscaping require soils on which turf

and ornamental trees and shrubs can be established

and maintained. Irrigation is not considered in the

ratings. The ratings are based on the soil properties

that affect plant growth and trafficability after

vegetation is established. The properties that affect

plant growth are reaction; depth to a water table;

ponding; depth to bedrock or a cemented pan; the

available water capacity in the upper 40 inches; the

content of salts, sodium, or calcium carbonate; and

sulfidic materials. The properties that affect

trafficability are flooding, depth to a water table,

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

clay, or organic matter in the surface layer.

Sanitary Facilities

Tables 22 and 23 show the degree and kind of soil

limitations that affect septic tank absorption fields,

sewage lagoons, sanitary landfills, and daily cover for

landfill. The ratings are both verbal and numerical.

Rating class terms indicate the extent to which the

soils are limited by all of the soil features that affect

these uses. Not limited indicates that the soil has

features that are very favorable for the specified use.

Good performance and very low maintenance can be

expected. Somewhat limited indicates that the soil has

features that are moderately favorable for the specified

use. The limitations can be overcome or minimized by

special planning, design, or installation. Fair

performance and moderate maintenance can be

expected. Very limited indicates that the soil has one
122 Soil Survey of

or more features that are unfavorable for the specified

use. The limitations generally cannot be overcome

without major soil reclamation, special design, or

expensive installation procedures. Poor performance

and high maintenance can be expected.

Numerical ratings in the tables indicate the severity

of individual limitations. The ratings are shown as

decimal fractions ranging from 0.01 to 1.00. They

indicate gradations between the point at which a soil

feature has the greatest negative impact on the use

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

limitation (0.00).

Septic tank absorption fields are areas in which

effluent from a septic tank is distributed into the soil

through subsurface tiles or perforated pipe. Only that

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

evaluated. The ratings are based on the soil properties

that affect absorption of the effluent, construction and

maintenance of the system, and public health.

Permeability, depth to a water table, ponding, depth to

bedrock or a cemented pan, and flooding affect

absorption of the effluent. Stones and boulders, ice,

and bedrock or a cemented pan interfere with

installation. Subsidence interferes with installation and

maintenance. Excessive slope may cause lateral

seepage and surfacing of the effluent in downslope

areas.

Some soils are underlain by loose sand and gravel

or fractured bedrock at a depth of less than 4 feet

below the distribution lines. In these soils the

absorption field may not adequately filter the effluent,

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

ground water may become contaminated.

Sewage lagoons are shallow ponds constructed to

hold sewage while aerobic bacteria decompose the

solid and liquid wastes. Lagoons should have a nearly

level floor surrounded by cut slopes or embankments

of compacted soil. Nearly impervious soil material for

the lagoon floor and sides is required to minimize

seepage and contamination of ground water.

Considered in the ratings are slope, permeability,

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

cemented pan, flooding, large stones, and content of

organic matter.

Soil permeability is a critical property affecting the

suitability for sewage lagoons. Most porous soils

eventually become sealed when they are used as sites

for sewage lagoons. Until sealing occurs, however, the

hazard of pollution is severe. Soils that have a

permeability rate of more than 2 inches per hour are

too porous for the proper functioning of sewage

lagoons. In these soils, seepage of the effluent can

result in contamination of the ground water. Groundwater contamination is also a hazard if fractured

bedrock is within a depth of 40 inches, if the water

table is high enough to raise the level of sewage in the

lagoon, or if floodwater overtops the lagoon.

A high content of organic matter is detrimental to

proper functioning of the lagoon because it inhibits

aerobic activity. Slope, bedrock, and cemented pans

can cause construction problems, and large stones

can hinder compaction of the lagoon floor. If the

lagoon is to be uniformly deep throughout, the slope

must be gentle enough and the soil material must be

thick enough over bedrock or a cemented pan to make

land smoothing practical.

A trench sanitary landfill is an area where solid

waste is placed in successive layers in an excavated

trench. The waste is spread, compacted, and covered

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

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

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

in the table are based on the soil properties that affect

the risk of pollution, the ease of excavation,

trafficability, and revegetation. These properties

include permeability, depth to bedrock or a cemented

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

texture, stones and boulders, highly organic layers,

soil reaction, and content of salts and sodium. Unless

otherwise stated, the ratings apply only to that part of

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

trenches, onsite investigation may be needed.

Hard, nonrippable bedrock, creviced bedrock, or

highly permeable strata in or directly below the

proposed trench bottom can affect the ease of

excavation and the hazard of ground-water pollution.

Slope affects construction of the trenches and the

movement of surface water around the landfill. It also

affects the construction and performance of roads in

areas of the landfill.

Soil texture and consistence affect the ease with

which the trench is dug and the ease with which the

soil can be used as daily or final cover. They

determine the workability of the soil when dry and

when wet. Soils that are plastic and sticky when wet

are difficult to excavate, grade, or compact and are

difficult to place as a uniformly thick cover over a layer

of refuse.

The soil material used as the final cover for a trench

landfill should be suitable for plants. It should not have

excess sodium or salts and should not be too acid.

The surface layer generally has the best workability,

the highest content of organic matter, and the best

potential for plants. Material from the surface layer

should be stockpiled for use as the final cover.

In an area sanitary landfill, solid waste is placed in

successive layers on the surface of the soil. The waste

is spread, compacted, and covered daily with a thin
Sangamon County, Illinois 123

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

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

the completed landfill. The ratings in the table are

based on the soil properties that affect trafficability and

the risk of pollution. These properties include flooding,

permeability, depth to a water table, ponding, slope,

and depth to bedrock or a cemented pan.

Flooding is a serious problem because it can result

in pollution in areas downstream from the landfill. If

permeability is too rapid or if fractured bedrock, a

fractured cemented pan, or the water table is close to

the surface, the leachate can contaminate the water

supply. Slope is a consideration because of the extra

grading required to maintain roads in the steeper

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

surface of the soils in the steeper areas and cause

difficult seepage problems.

Daily cover for landfill is the soil material that is

used to cover compacted solid waste in an area

sanitary landfill. The soil material is obtained offsite,

transported to the landfill, and spread over the waste.

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

a landfill. They are based on the soil properties that

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

moving and spreading the material over the refuse

daily during wet and dry periods. These properties

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

rock fragments, slope, depth to bedrock or a

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

or lime.

Loamy or silty soils that are free of large stones and

excess gravel are the best cover for a landfill. Clayey

soils may be sticky and difficult to spread; sandy soils

are subject to wind erosion.

Slope affects the ease of excavation and of moving

the cover material. Also, it can influence runoff,

erosion, and reclamation of the borrow area.

After soil material has been removed, the soil

material remaining in the borrow area must be thick

enough over bedrock, a cemented pan, or the water

table to permit revegetation. The soil material used as

the final cover for a landfill should be suitable for

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

and should not be too acid.

Construction Materials

Tables 24 and 25 give information about the soils as

potential sources of gravel, sand, topsoil, and roadfill.

Normal compaction, minor processing, and other

standard construction practices are assumed.

Sand and gravel are natural aggregates suitable for

commercial use with a minimum of processing. They

are used in many kinds of construction. Specifications

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

likelihood of finding material in suitable quantity is

evaluated. The suitability of the material for specific

purposes is not evaluated, nor are factors that affect

excavation of the material. The properties used to

evaluate the soil as a source of sand or gravel are

gradation of grain sizes (as indicated by the Unified

classification of the soil), the thickness of suitable

material, and the content of rock fragments. If the

bottom layer of the soil contains sand or gravel, the

soil is considered a likely source regardless of

thickness. The assumption is that the sand or gravel

layer below the depth of observation exceeds the

minimum thickness.

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

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

means that the source material is likely to be in or

below the soil. The bottom layer and the thickest layer

of the soils are assigned numerical ratings. These

ratings indicate the likelihood that the layer is a source

of sand or gravel. The number 0.00 indicates that the

layer is a poor source. The number 1.00 indicates that

the layer is a good source. A number between 0.00

and 1.00 indicates the degree to which the layer is a

likely source.

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

sources of topsoil and roadfill. The features that limit

the soils as sources of these materials are specified in

the tables. The numerical ratings given after the

specified features indicate the degree to which the

features limit the soils as sources of topsoil or roadfill.

The lower the number, the greater the limitation.

Topsoil is used to cover an area so that vegetation

can be established and maintained. The upper 40

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

evaluated is the reclamation potential of the borrow

area. The ratings are based on the soil properties

that affect plant growth; the ease of excavating,

loading, and spreading the material; and reclamation

of the borrow area. Toxic substances, soil reaction,

and the properties that are inferred from soil texture,

such as available water capacity and fertility, affect

plant growth. The ease of excavating, loading, and

spreading is affected by rock fragments, slope,

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

suitable material. Reclamation of the borrow area is

affected by slope, depth to a water table, rock

fragments, depth to bedrock or a cemented pan, and

toxic material.

The surface layer of most soils is generally

preferred for topsoil because of its organic matter

content. Organic matter greatly increases the

absorption and retention of moisture and nutrients for

plant growth.
124 Soil Survey of

Roadfill is soil material that is excavated in one

place and used in road embankments in another

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

roadfill for low embankments, generally less than 6

feet high and less exacting in design than higher

embankments.

The ratings are for the whole soil, from the surface

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

will be mixed when the soil material is excavated and

spread.

The ratings are based on the amount of suitable

material and on soil properties that affect the ease of

excavation and the performance of the material after it

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

major consideration. The ease of excavation is

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

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

been compacted and drained is determined by its

strength (as inferred from the AASHTO classification

of the soil) and linear extensibility (shrink-swell

potential).

Water Management

Tables 26 through 28 give information on the soil

properties and site features that affect water

management. The degree and kind of soil limitations

are given for pond reservoir areas; embankments,

dikes, and levees; aquifer-fed excavated ponds;

grassed waterways and surface drains; terraces and

diversions; drainage; and sprinkler irrigation. The

ratings are both verbal and numerical. Rating class

terms indicate the extent to which the soils are limited

by all of the soil features that affect these uses. Not

limited indicates that the soil has features that are very

favorable for the specified use. Good performance and

very low maintenance can be expected. Somewhat

limited indicates that the soil has features that are

moderately favorable for the specified use. The

limitations can be overcome or minimized by special

planning, design, or installation. Fair performance and

moderate maintenance can be expected. Very limited

indicates that the soil has one or more features that

are unfavorable for the specified use. The limitations

generally cannot be overcome without major soil

reclamation, special design, or expensive installation

procedures. Poor performance and high maintenance

can be expected.

Numerical ratings in the tables indicate the severity

of individual limitations. The ratings are shown as

decimal fractions ranging from 0.01 to 1.00. They

indicate gradations between the point at which a soil

feature has the greatest negative impact on the use

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

limitation (0.00).

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. Embankments that have zoned

construction (core and shell) are not considered. In

this table, the soils are rated as a source of material

for embankment fill. The ratings apply to the soil

material below the surface layer to a depth of about 5

feet. It is assumed that soil layers will be uniformly

mixed and compacted during construction.

The ratings do not indicate the ability of the natural

soil to support an embankment. Soil properties to a

depth even greater than the height of the embankment

can affect performance and safety of the embankment.

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.

Grassed waterways and surface drains are

natural or constructed channels, generally broad and

shallow, that conduct surface water to outlets at a

nonerosive velocity. Large stones, wetness, slope,

and depth to bedrock or a cemented pan affect the

construction of grassed waterways. A hazard of wind

erosion, low available water capacity, restricted

rooting depth, toxic substances such as salts and

sodium, and restricted permeability adversely affect

the growth and maintenance of the grass after

construction.
Sangamon County, Illinois 125

Terraces and diversions are embankments or a

combination of channels and ridges constructed

across a slope to control erosion and conserve

moisture by intercepting runoff. Slope, wetness, large

stones, and depth to bedrock or a cemented pan affect

the construction of terraces and diversions. A restricted

rooting depth, a severe hazard of wind erosion or

water erosion, an excessively coarse texture, and

restricted permeability adversely affect maintenance.

Drainage is the removal of excess surface and

subsurface water from the soil. How easily and

effectively the soil is drained depends on the depth to

bedrock, a cemented pan, or other layers that affect

the rate of water movement; permeability; depth to a

high water table or depth of standing water if the soil is

subject to ponding; slope; susceptibility to flooding;

subsidence of organic layers; and the potential for frost

action. Excavating and grading and the stability of

ditchbanks are affected by depth to bedrock or a

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

cutbanks caving. The productivity of the soil after

drainage is adversely affected by extreme acidity or by

toxic substances in the root zone, such as salts,

sodium, and sulfur. Availability of drainage outlets is

not considered in the ratings.

Sprinkler 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 or a cemented pan. The

performance of a system is affected by the depth of

the root zone, the amount of salts or sodium, and soil

reaction.

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, 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 Resources

Conservation Service or the Cooperative Extension

Service.

127

Data relating to soil properties are collected during

the course of the soil survey.

Soil properties are ascertained by field examination

of the soils and by laboratory index testing of some

benchmark soils. Established standard procedures are

followed. During the survey, many shallow borings are

made and examined to identify and classify the soils

and to delineate them on the soil maps. Samples are

taken from some typical profiles and tested in the

laboratory to determine particle-size distribution,

plasticity, and compaction characteristics.

Estimates of soil properties are based on field

examinations, on laboratory tests of samples from the

survey area, and on laboratory tests of samples of

similar soils in nearby areas. Tests verify field

observations, verify properties that cannot be

estimated accurately by field observation, and help to

characterize key soils.

The estimates of soil properties are shown in

tables. They include engineering index properties,

physical and chemical properties, and pertinent soil

and water features.

Engineering Index Properties

Table 29 gives the engineering classifications and

the range of index properties for the layers of each soil

in the survey area.

Depth to the upper and lower boundaries of each

layer is indicated.

Texture is given in the standard terms used by the

U.S. Department of Agriculture. These terms are

defined according to percentages of sand, silt, and

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

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

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

and less than 52 percent sand. If the content of

particles coarser than sand is 15 percent or more, an

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

Textural terms are defined in the Glossary.

Classification of the soils is determined according to

the Unified soil classification system (ASTM, 2001)

and the system adopted by the American Association

of State Highway and Transportation Officials

(AASHTO, 2000).

The Unified system classifies soils according to

properties that affect their use as construction

material. Soils are classified according to particle-size

distribution of the fraction less than 3 inches in

diameter and according to plasticity index, liquid limit,

and organic matter content. Sandy and gravelly soils

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

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

OH; and highly organic soils as PT. Soils exhibiting

engineering properties of two groups can have a dual

classification, for example, CL-ML.

The AASHTO system classifies soils according to

those properties that affect roadway construction and

maintenance. In this system, the fraction of a mineral

soil that is less than 3 inches in diameter is classified

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

basis of particle-size distribution, liquid limit, and

Soil Properties

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

USDA soil texture classes.
128 Soil Survey of

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 A7 groups are further classified as A-1-a, A-1-b, A-2-4,

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

refinement, the suitability of a soil as subgrade

material can be indicated by a group index number.

Group index numbers range from 0 for the best

subgrade material to 20 or higher for the poorest.

Rock fragments larger than 10 inches in diameter

and 3 to 10 inches in diameter are indicated as a

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

percentages are estimates determined mainly by

converting volume percentage in the field to weight

percentage.

Percentage (of soil particles) passing designated

sieves is the percentage of the soil fraction less than 3

inches in diameter based on an ovendry weight. The

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

Series), have openings of 4.76, 2.00, 0.420, and 0.074

millimeters, respectively. Estimates are based on

laboratory tests of soils sampled in the survey area

and in nearby areas and on estimates made in the

field.

Liquid limit and plasticity index (Atterberg limits)

indicate the plasticity characteristics of a soil. The

estimates are based on test data from the survey area

or from nearby areas and on field examination.

The estimates of particle-size distribution, liquid

limit, and plasticity index are generally rounded to the

nearest 5 percent. Thus, if the ranges of gradation and

Atterberg limits extend a marginal amount (1 or 2

percentage points) across classification boundaries,

the classification in the marginal zone is generally

omitted in the table.

Physical Properties

Table 30 shows estimates of some physical

characteristics and features that affect soil behavior.

These estimates are given for the layers of each soil in

the survey area. The estimates are based on field

observations and on test data for these and similar

soils.

Depth to the upper and lower boundaries of each

layer is indicated.

Particle size is the effective diameter of a soil

particle as measured by sedimentation, sieving, or

micrometric methods. Particle sizes are expressed as

classes with specific effective diameter class limits.

The broad classes are sand, silt, and clay, ranging

from the larger to the smaller.

Sand as a soil separate consists of mineral soil

particles that are 0.05 millimeter to 2 millimeters in

diameter. In table 30, the estimated sand content of

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

the soil material that is less than 2 millimeters in

diameter.

Silt as a soil separate consists of mineral soil

particles that are 0.002 to 0.05 millimeter in diameter.

In table 30, the estimated silt content of each soil layer

is given as a percentage, by weight, of the soil

material that is less than 2 millimeters in diameter.

Clay as a soil separate consists of mineral soil

particles that are less than 0.002 millimeter in

diameter. In table 30, the estimated clay content of

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

the soil material that is less than 2 millimeters in

diameter.

The content of sand, silt, and clay affects the

physical behavior of a soil. Particle size is important for

engineering and agronomic interpretations, for

determination of soil hydrologic qualities, and for soil

classification.

The amount and kind of clay affect the fertility and

physical condition of the soil and the ability of the soil

to adsorb cations and to retain moisture. They

influence shrink-swell potential, permeability, plasticity,

the ease of soil dispersion, and other soil properties.

The amount and kind of clay in a soil also affect tillage

and earthmoving operations.

Moist bulk density is the weight of soil (ovendry) per

unit volume. Volume is measured when the soil is at

field moisture capacity, that is, the moisture content at

1

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

Weight is determined after the soil is dried at 105

degrees C. In the table, the estimated moist bulk

density of each soil horizon is expressed in grams per

cubic centimeter of soil material that is less than 2

millimeters in diameter. Bulk density data are used to

compute shrink-swell potential, available water

capacity, total pore space, and other soil properties.

The moist bulk density of a soil indicates the pore

space available for water and roots. Depending on soil

texture, a bulk density of more than 1.4 can restrict

water storage and root penetration. Moist bulk density

is influenced by texture, kind of clay, content of organic

matter, and soil structure.

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

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

in soil surveys, indicates saturated hydraulic

conductivity (Ksat ). The estimates in the table indicate

the rate of water movement, in inches per hour, when
Sangamon County, Illinois 129

the soil is saturated. They are based on soil

characteristics observed in the field, particularly

structure, porosity, and texture. Permeability is

considered in the design of soil drainage systems and

septic tank absorption fields.

Available water capacity refers to the quantity of

water that the soil is capable of storing for use by

plants. The capacity for water storage is given in

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

capacity varies, depending on soil properties that

affect retention of water. The most important

properties are the content of organic matter, soil

texture, bulk density, and soil structure. Available water

capacity is an important factor in the choice of plants

or crops to be grown and in the design and

management of irrigation systems. Available water

capacity is not an estimate of the quantity of water

actually available to plants at any given time.

Linear extensibility refers to the change in length of

an unconfined clod as moisture content is decreased

from a moist to a dry state. It is an expression of the

volume change between the water content of the clod

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

oven dryness. The volume change is reported in the

table as percent change for the whole soil. Volume

change is influenced by the amount and type of clay

minerals in the soil.

Linear extensibility is used to determine the shrinkswell potential of soils. The shrink-swell potential is low

if the soil has a linear extensibility of less than 3

percent; moderate if 3 to 6 percent; high if 6 to 9

percent; and very high if more than 9 percent. If the

linear extensibility is more than 3, shrinking and

swelling can cause damage to buildings, roads, and

other structures and to plant roots. Special design

commonly is needed.

Organic matter is the plant and animal residue in

the soil at various stages of decomposition. In table

30, the estimated content of organic matter is

expressed as a percentage, by weight, of the soil

material that is less than 2 millimeters in diameter.

The content of organic matter in a soil can be

maintained by returning crop residue to the soil.

Organic matter has a positive effect on available water

capacity, water infiltration, soil organism activity, and

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

crops and soil organisms.

Erosion factors are shown in table 30 as the K

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

indicates the susceptibility of a soil to sheet and rill

erosion by water. Factor K is one of several factors

used in the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) and

the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) to

predict the average annual rate of soil loss by sheet

and rill erosion in tons per acre per year. The

estimates are based primarily on percentage of silt,

sand, and organic matter and on soil structure and

permeability. Values of K range from 0.02 to 0.69.

Other factors being equal, the higher the value, the

more susceptible the soil is to sheet and rill erosion by

water.

Erosion factor Kw indicates the erodibility of the

whole soil. The estimates are modified by the

presence of rock fragments.

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

size.

Erosion factor T is an estimate of the maximum

average annual rate of soil erosion by wind or water

that can occur without affecting crop productivity over

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

year.

Wind erodibility groups are made up of soils that

have similar properties affecting their susceptibility to

wind erosion in cultivated areas. The soils assigned to

group 1 are the most susceptible to wind erosion, and

those assigned to group 8 are the least susceptible.

The groups are described in the “National Soil Survey

Handbook” (USDA, NRCS).

Wind erodibility index is a numerical value indicating

the susceptibility of soil to wind erosion, or the tons

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

wind erosion. There is a close correlation between

wind erosion and the texture of the surface layer, the

size and durability of surface clods, rock fragments,

organic matter, and a calcareous reaction. Soil

moisture and frozen soil layers also influence wind

erosion.

Chemical Properties

Table 31 shows estimates of some chemical

characteristics and features that affect soil behavior.

These estimates are given for the layers of each soil in

the survey area. The estimates are based on field

observations and on test data for these and similar

soils.

Depth to the upper and lower boundaries of each

layer is indicated.

Soil reaction is a measure of acidity or alkalinity.

The pH of each soil horizon is based on many field

tests. For many soils, values have been verified by

laboratory analyses. Soil reaction is important in

selecting crops and other plants, in evaluating soil

amendments for fertility and stabilization, and in

determining the risk of corrosion.

Cation-exchange capacity is the total amount of

extractable bases that can be held by the soil,
130 Soil Survey of

expressed in terms of milliequivalents per 100 grams

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

value. Soils having a low cation-exchange capacity

hold fewer cations and may require more frequent

applications of fertilizer than soils having a high cationexchange capacity. The ability to retain cations

reduces the hazard of ground-water pollution.

Calcium carbonate equivalent is the percent of

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

than 2 millimeters in size. The availability of plant

nutrients is influenced by the amount of carbonates in

the soil. Incorporating nitrogen fertilizer into calcareous

soils helps to prevent nitrite accumulation and

ammonium-N volatilization.

Water Features

Table 32 gives estimates of various water features.

The estimates are used in land use planning that

involves engineering considerations.

Hydrologic soil groups are based on estimates of

runoff potential. Soils are assigned to one of four

groups according to the rate of water infiltration when

the soils are not protected by vegetation, are

thoroughly wet, and receive precipitation from longduration storms.

The four hydrologic soil groups are:

Group A. Soils having a high infiltration rate (low

runoff potential) when thoroughly wet. These consist

mainly of deep, well drained to excessively drained

sands or gravelly sands. These soils have a high rate

of water transmission.

Group B. Soils having a moderate infiltration rate

when thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of

moderately deep or deep, moderately well drained or

well drained soils that have moderately fine texture to

moderately coarse texture. These soils have a

moderate rate of water transmission.

Group C. Soils having a slow infiltration rate when

thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of soils having a

layer that impedes the downward movement of water

or soils of moderately fine texture or fine texture.

These soils have a slow rate of water transmission.

Group D. Soils having a very slow infiltration rate

(high runoff potential) when thoroughly wet. These

consist chiefly of clays that have a high shrink-swell

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

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

and soils that are shallow over nearly impervious

material. These soils have a very slow rate of water

transmission.

If a soil is assigned to a dual hydrologic group (A/D,

B/D, or C/D), the first letter is for drained areas and the

second is for undrained areas.

The months in the table indicate the portion of the

year in which the feature is most likely to be a

concern.

Water table refers to a saturated zone in the soil.

Table 32 indicates, by month, depth to the top (upper

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

most years. Estimates of the upper and lower limits

are based mainly on observations of the water table at

selected sites and on evidence of a saturated zone,

namely grayish colors or mottles (redoximorphic

features) in the soil. A saturated zone that lasts for

less than a month is not considered a water table.

Ponding is standing water in a closed depression.

Unless a drainage system is installed, the water is

removed only by percolation, transpiration, or

evaporation. Table 32 indicates surface water depth

and the duration and frequency of ponding. Duration is

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

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

30 days. Frequency is expressed as none, rare,

occasional, and frequent. None means that ponding is

not probable; rare that it is unlikely but possible under

unusual weather conditions (the chance of ponding is

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

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

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

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

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

50 percent in any year).

Flooding is the temporary inundation of an area

caused by overflowing streams, by runoff from

adjacent slopes, or by tides. Water standing for short

periods after rainfall or snowmelt is not considered

flooding, and water standing in swamps and marshes

is considered ponding rather than flooding.

Duration and frequency are estimated. Duration is

expressed as extremely brief if 0.1 hour to 4 hours,

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

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

Frequency is expressed as none, very rare, rare,

occasional, frequent, and very frequent. None means

that flooding is not probable; very rare that it is very

unlikely but possible under extremely unusual weather

conditions (the chance of flooding is less than 1

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

under unusual weather conditions (the chance of

flooding is 1 to 5 percent in any year); occasional that

it occurs infrequently under normal weather conditions

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

frequent that it is likely to occur often under normal

weather conditions (the chance of flooding is more

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

in all months in any year); and very frequent that it is

likely to occur very often under normal weather
Sangamon County, Illinois 131

conditions (the chance of flooding is more than 50

percent in all months of any year).

The information is based on evidence in the soil

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

deposited by floodwater; irregular decrease in organic

matter content with increasing depth; and little or no

horizon development.

Also considered are local information about the

extent and levels of flooding and the relation of each

soil on the landscape to historic floods. Information on

the extent of flooding based on soil data is less

specific than that provided by detailed engineering

surveys that delineate flood-prone areas at specific

flood frequency levels.

Soil Features

Table 33 gives estimates of various soil features.

The estimates are used in land use planning that

involves engineering considerations.

A restrictive layer is a nearly continuous layer that

has one or more physical, chemical, or thermal

properties that significantly impede the movement of

water and air through the soil or that restrict roots or

otherwise provide an unfavorable root environment.

Examples are bedrock, cemented layers, dense

layers, and frozen layers. The table indicates the

hardness and thickness of the restrictive layer, both of

which significantly affect the ease of excavation. Depth

to top is the vertical distance from the soil surface to

the upper boundary of the restrictive layer.

Potential for frost action is the likelihood of upward

or lateral expansion of the soil caused by the formation

of segregated ice lenses (frost heave) and the

subsequent collapse of the soil and loss of strength on

thawing. Frost action occurs when moisture moves

into the freezing zone of the soil. Temperature, texture,

density, permeability, content of organic matter, and

depth to the water table are the most important factors

considered in evaluating the potential for frost action. It

is assumed that the soil is not insulated by vegetation

or snow and is not artificially drained. Silty and highly

structured, clayey soils that have a high water table in

winter are the most susceptible to frost action. Well

drained, very gravelly, or very sandy soils are the least

susceptible. Frost heave and low soil strength during

thawing cause damage to pavements and other rigid

structures.

Risk of corrosion pertains to potential soil-induced

electrochemical or chemical action that corrodes or

weakens uncoated steel or concrete. The rate of

corrosion of uncoated steel is related to such factors

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

electrical conductivity of the soil. The rate of corrosion

of concrete is based mainly on the sulfate and sodium

content, texture, moisture content, and acidity of the

soil. Special site examination and design may be

needed if the combination of factors results in a severe

hazard of corrosion. The steel or concrete in

installations that intersect soil boundaries or soil layers

is more susceptible to corrosion than the steel or

concrete in installations that are entirely within one

kind of soil or within one soil layer.

For uncoated steel, the risk of corrosion, expressed

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

class, total acidity, electrical resistivity near field

capacity, and electrical conductivity of the saturation

extract.

For concrete, the risk of corrosion also is expressed

as low, moderate, or high. It is based on soil texture,

acidity, and amount of sulfates in the saturation

extract.

place, concretions of iron oxide or manganese

oxide are generally considered a type of

redoximorphic concentration.

combination with needed cultural and

management practices. In a good conservation

cropping system, the soil-improving crops and

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

are needed on all tilled soils. Soil-improving

practices in a conservation cropping system

planned system of rotation and management

practices.

Culmination of the mean annual increment (CMAI).

The average annual increase per acre in the

volume of a stand. Computed by dividing the total

somewhat poorly drained, poorly drained, and

very poorly drained. These classes are defined in

the “Soil Survey Manual.”

at some time moves concentrated water and

either has no defined channel or has a small

the outer margin of an actively flowing glacier at

any given time.

Endosaturation. A type of saturation of the soil in

which all horizons between the upper boundary

tillage.

Hard bedrock. Bedrock that cannot be excavated

except by blasting or by the use of special

equipment that is not commonly used in

construction.

overland waterflow is converging.

High-chroma zones. Zones having a chroma of 3 or

more. Typical color in areas of iron concentrations.

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 15 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. An explanation

of the subdivisions is given in the “Soil Survey

Manual.” The major horizons of mineral soil are as

follows:

O horizon.—An organic layer of fresh and

decaying plant residue.

A horizon.—The mineral horizon at or near the

surface in which an accumulation of humified

organic matter is mixed with the mineral material.

Also, a plowed surface horizon, most of which was

originally part of a B horizon.

E horizon.—The mineral horizon in which the main

feature is loss of silicate clay, iron, aluminum, or

some combination of these.

B horizon.—The mineral horizon below an A

horizon. The B horizon is in part a layer of

transition from the overlying A to the underlying C

horizon. The B horizon also has distinctive

characteristics, such as (1) accumulation of clay,

sesquioxides, humus, or a combination of these;

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

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

a combination of these.

C horizon.—The mineral horizon or layer,

excluding indurated bedrock, that is little affected

by soil-forming processes and does not have the

properties typical of the overlying soil material.

The material of a C horizon may be either like or

unlike that in which the solum formed. If the

material is known to differ from that in the solum,

an Arabic numeral, commonly a 2, precedes the

letter C.

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 potential. The soil

properties that influence this potential are those

that affect the minimum rate of water infiltration on

a bare soil during periods after prolonged wetting

when the soil is not frozen. These properties are

depth to a seasonal high water table, the infiltration

rate and permeability after prolonged wetting, and

depth to a very slowly permeable layer. The slope

and the kind of plant cover are not considered but

are separate factors in predicting runoff.

Illuviation. The movement of soil material from one

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.

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

1.25 to 1.75 ..................................... moderately high

1.75 to 2.5 .......................................................... high

More than 2.5 ............................................. very high

Interfluve. An elevated area between two

drainageways that sheds water to those

drainageways.

strip in which the lateral flow of water is controlled

by small earth ridges called border dikes, or

borders.

Controlled flooding.—Water is released at

intervals from closely spaced field ditches and

distributed uniformly over the field.

Corrugation.—Water is applied to small, closely

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

one direction.

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

under low pressure to the surface of the soil or

into the soil through such applicators as emitters,

porous tubing, or perforated pipe.

Furrow.—Water is applied in small ditches made

by cultivation implements. Furrows are used for

tree and row crops.

Sprinkler.—Water is sprayed over the soil surface

through pipes or nozzles from a pressure system.

Subirrigation.—Water is applied in open ditches or

tile lines until the water table is raised enough to

wet the soil.

allowed to flow onto an area without controlled

distribution.

potential of soils. It is an expression of the volume

change between the water content of the clod at 1

/

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

oven dryness. Volume change is influenced by the

amount and type of clay minerals in the soil. The

volume change is the percent change for the

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

resulting value is COLE, coefficient of linear

extensibility.

millimeters (about 0.2 inch); medium, from 5 to 15

millimeters (about 0.2 to 0.6 inch); and coarse,

more than 15 millimeters (about 0.6 inch).

Munsell notation. A designation of color by degrees

of three simple variables—hue, value, and

chroma. For example, a notation of 10YR 6/4 is a

color with hue of 10YR, value of 6, and chroma of 4.

(See Reaction, soil.)

Nodules. Cemented bodies lacking visible internal

structure. Calcium carbonate, iron oxide, and

square meters), depending on the variability of the

soil.

Percolation. The movement of water through the soil.

Permeability. The quality of the soil that enables water

or air to move downward through the profile. The

rate at which a saturated soil transmits water is

accepted as a measure of this quality. In soil

physics, the rate is referred to as “saturated

Survey Manual.” In line with conventional usage in

the engineering profession and with traditional

Swale. A slight depression in the midst of generally

level land. On an undulating ground moraine, a

shallow depression resulting from 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. Soils are recognized as taxadjuncts only

when one or more of their characteristics are

slightly outside the range defined for the family of

the series for which the soils are named.

Terminal moraine. A belt of thick glacial drift that

generally marks the termination of important

glacial advances.

Terrace. An embankment, or ridge, constructed

across sloping soils on the contour or at a slight

angle to the contour. The terrace intercepts

surface runoff so that water soaks into the soil or

flows slowly to a prepared outlet. A terrace in a

field generally is built so that the field can be

farmed. A terrace intended mainly for drainage

has a deep channel that is maintained in

permanent sod.

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

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

to tillage, seedbed preparation, seedling

emergence, and root penetration.

surface at the base of a hillslope. Toeslopes in

profile are commonly gentle and linear and are

constructional surfaces forming the lower part of a

hillslope continuum that grades to valley or closeddepression floors.

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

favorable material for plant growth. It is ordinarily

rich in organic matter and is used to topdress

roadbanks, lawns, and land affected by mining.

downward velocity of water and divert it off and

away from the road surface. Water bars can easily

be driven over if constructed properly.

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.

Table 24.--Construction Materials (Part 1)

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

 does not eliminate the need for onsite investigation. The ratings

 given for the thickest layer are for the thickest layer above the

 bottom layer. The numbers in the value columns range from 0.00 to

 0.99. The greater the value, the greater the likelihood that the

 bottom layer or thickest layer of the soil is a source of sand or

 gravel. See text for further explanation of ratings in this table.)

Printing Soil Survey Maps 

The soil survey maps were made at a scale of 1:12000 and were designed to be

used at that scale. To print the maps at 1:12000 scale, set the view to Actual

Size from the View pull down menu.

Using the pan tool, go to the area you would like to print. Select the Graphic

Selection Tool by holding down the Text Selection Tool button and clicking on the

Graphic Selection Tool button.
Then using the Graphic Selection Tool drag a box around the area you would like

to print. Note dashed lines forming a box around area to print.

Select File Print. The Print Range will be set to Selected graphic. Click OK and

the map will be sent to the printer.

subsurface layer of the named soils in the surrounding map unit are

darker. Typically 0.25 acre to 2.0 acres.

GSP

Gully A small channel with steep sides cut by running water through which

water ordinarily runs only after a rain or after melting of snow or ice.

It generally is an obstacle to wheeled vehicles and is too deep to be

obliterated by ordinary tillage.

GUL

masses on the surface or near the surface of soils. Typically 0.2 acre

to 2.0 acres.

BFE

Landfill An area of accumulated waste products of human habitation, either

above or below natural ground level. Typically 0.2 acre to 2.0 acres.

LDF

Levee An embankment that confines or controls water, especially one built

along the banks of a river to prevent overflow onto lowlands.

LVS

Marsh or swamp A water-saturated, very poorly drained area that is intermittently or

permanently covered by water. Sedges, cattails, and rushes are the

dominant vegetation in marshes, and trees or shrubs are the dominant

vegetation in swamps. Typically 0.2 acre to 2.0 acres.

MAR

Mine or quarry An open excavation from which soil and underlying material have

been removed and in which bedrock is exposed. Also denotes surface

openings to underground mines. Typically 0.2 acre to 2.0 acres.

MPI

Mine subsided area An area that is lower than the soils in the surrounding map unit

because of subsurface coal mining. Typically 0.25 acre to 3.0 acres.

MSA

Miscellaneous water A small, constructed body of water that is used for industrial,

sanitary, or mining applications and that contains water most of the

year. Typically 0.2 acre to 2.0 acres.

MIS

Muck spot An area that occurs within an area of poorly drained or very poorly

drained soil and that has a histic epipedon or an organic surface

layer. The symbol is used only in map units consisting of mineral

soil. Typically 0.2 acre to 2.0 acres.

MUC

Oil brine spot An area of soil that has been severely damaged by the accumulation

of oil brine, with or without liquid oily wastes. The area is typically

barren but may have a vegetative cover of salt-tolerant plants.

Typically 0.2 acre to 2.0 acres.

OBS

Perennial water A small, natural or constructed lake, pond, or pit that contains water

most of the year. Typically 0.2 acre to 2.0 acres.

WAT
Name Description Label

Rock outcrop An exposure of bedrock at the surface of the earth. Not used where

the named soils of the surrounding map unit are shallow over

bedrock or where “Rock outcrop” is a named component of the map

unit. Typically 0.2 acre to 2.0 acres.

ROC

Saline spot An area where the surface layer has an electrical conductivity of 8

mmhos/cm-l more than the surface layer of the named soils in the

surrounding map unit. The surface layer of the surrounding soils has

an electrical conductivity of 2 mmhos/cm-l or less. Typically 0.2

acre to 2.0 acres.
