These soils are on uplands, fans and terraces.
Permeability is slow or very slow.
Slopes range from 0 to 15 percent. The soil typically does not have carbonates to depths of 4 to 15 inches, but some pedons contain carbonates at the surface. The depth to weathered shale is typically greater than 5 feet but is as shallow as 40 inches in some pedons. The soil typically averages about 60 to 65 percent clay. It has a mollic epipedon 7 to 16 inches thick and in some pedons it extends into the lower part of the B horizon.
