Chagrin, Holly and Lobdell soils are in a drainage sequence with Orrville soils. The well drained Chagrin soils are on high positions on the landscape, the very poorly drained Holly soils are in depressions and abandoned stream channels, and the moderately well drained Lobdell soils are on slightly higher landscape positions than Orrville soils. The poorly drained Washtenaw soils are in depressions or swales on the flood plain. Somewhat poorly drained. The potential for surface runoff is low.
Permeability is moderate in the solum and moderate or moderately rapid in the underlying material.
The depth to the top of an intermittent apparent seasonal high water table ranges from 0.5 to 1.0 foot from November to May in normal years. Orrville soils are subject to occasional or frequent flooding. Use is dependent on frequency of flooding and the accessibility. Areas in wider valleys are cropped to corn, soybeans, and hay. Narrow areas and those dissected by old stream channels are in woodland and permanent pasture.
