EauGallie, Immokalee, Myakka, and Wabasso soils have spodic horizons. Felda and Riviera soils have Bt horizons. Placid soils have an umbric epipedon. Pompano soils are poorly to very poorly drained. Runoff is slow.
Permeability is rapid or very rapid, but internal drainage is impeded by a very shallow water table.
The water table is at depths of less than 10 inches for 2 to 6 months each year. Even during the drier months it is within depths of 30 inches for more than 9 months each year. In depressed areas the water table is above the soil surface for more than 3 months each year. Most of this soil is used for rangeland. With adequate water control, it is used for growing truck crops, citrus fruits, and improved pasture.
