The well drained Alvin and Princeton soils and the somewhat excessively drained Bloomfield soils are on dunes. The moderately well drained Bobtown soils are on slightly higher lying interdunes. The very poorly drained Rensselaer and Lyles soils are in depressions on interdunes. Somewhat poorly drained. The potential for surface water runoff is low or medium.
Permeability is moderate in the solum, and moderate to rapid in the substratum.
In drained areas, depth to an intermittent apparent high water table is at 0.5 to 2 feet from December through April in most years. In undrained areas, depth to an intermittent apparent high water table is at 0.5 to 1.5 feet from November through May in most years. Most areas of these soils are used to grow corn, soybeans, small grain, and hay. Native vegetation is dominantly deciduous hardwood forest. The series is of moderate extent mainly in MLRA's 114 and 115, and of lesser extent in MLRA 111.
