Permeability is moderate or moderately slow in the loess, moderately slow or slow in the fragipan, and moderate or moderately rapid in the underlying material. Slope ranges from 0 to 15 percent. Depth to the base of the argillic horizon is more than 80 inches. Thickness of the loess mantle is 18 to 40 inches. Depth to the top of the fragipan is 12 to 41 inches.
Reaction ranges from very strongly acid to slightly acid throughout.
Base saturation is between 35 and 60 percent at a depth of 50 inches below the top of the argillic horizon. Some pedons have an A horizon 1 to 5 inches thick that has value of 2 to 4, and chroma of 1 or 2. Texture is silt loam with 12 to 24 percent clay and less than 20 percent sand. The BE horizon where present, has hue of 10YR or 7.5YR, value of 4 or 5, and chroma of 3 to 6. Texture is silt loam or silty clay loam.
