The first soil type is the Blake silty clay loam. This soil, comprising the southern half of the subject site, is a nearly level, somewhat poorly drained soil. This soil is subject to inundation by rare floods of intermediate regional or standard project dimensions. The very dark gray brown, friable silty clay loam surface layer, approximately four inches thick, overlies a very dark gray brown, firm silty clay loam subsurface layer, approximately five inches thick. Waldron soils located in small channels and depressions and the sandy Eudora soils located on narrow ridges in gently undulating bottom lands.
Permeability is moderate.
Surface runoff is slow. Organic matter content is moderate. Natural fertility is medium. A water table lies at a depth of two to four feet during most of the year. Waldron complex soil type.
