The thickness of the solum ranges from 16 to 40 inches. Rock fragments range from 0 to 2 percent. Reaction ranges from strongly acid to neutral in the solum and from moderately acid to slightly alkaline in the substratum. Below a depth of 40 inches from the surface, some pedons range to moderately alkaline and are effervescent. The Ap horizon has hue of 10YR or 2.5Y, value of 2 to 4, and chroma of 1 to 3.
Texture is silt loam, silt, very fine sandy loam or loam.
Some pedons have a thin A horizon or AB horizon. The B horizon has hue of 5YR to 5Y, value of 4 to 6, and chroma of 1 to 4. At least one subhorizon within 20 inches of the mineral soil surface has a dominant chroma of 2. Texture is silt loam, silt, very fine sandy loam, or loamy very fine sand.
