Slopes range from 2 to 20 percent. The average annual temperature is about 61 degrees F and the average annual precipitation is about 55 inches. Solum thickness and depth to bedrock is greater than 60 inches. Depth to the 2Bt horizon commonly ranges from about 24 to 40 inches but is as deep as 45 inches in some pedons. Fragments of chert 0.25 to 3 inches across range from 16 to 25 percent in A and E horizons, from 16 to 35 percent in the Bt horizon, and from 16 to 50 percent in the 2Bt horizon.
Reaction is strongly acid or very strongly acid, except the surface layer is less acid where limed.
The A horizon has hue of 10YR, value of 4 and chroma of 2 or 3. The fine earth fraction is silt loam. The E horizon has hue of 10YR, value of 5 or 6, and chroma of 3 or 4. The fine earth fraction is silt loam. The Bt horizon has hue of 10YR or 7.5YR, value of 4 or 5 and chroma of 6 to 8.
