The Wewela soils consists of moderately deep, well drained soils formed in loamy materials over clay residuum from clayey shales on uplands.
Permeability is very slow.
Slopes range from 0 to 9 percent. When described the soil was dry to 13 inches and moist below. The thickness of the mollic epipedon ranges from 7 to 15 inches and extends into the B horizons of some pedons. The depth to free carbonate ranges from 18 to 35 inches and the depth to shale ranges from 22 to 36 inches. Tongues of A horizon extend through the solum in most pedons.
