Reaction is very strongly acid to slightly acid. The BE horizon has hue of 10YR or 7.5YR, value of 4 or 5 and chroma of 3 or 4. The upper part of the Bt horizon has hue of 10YR or 7.5YR, value of 4 or 5 and chroma of 3 to 6. The lower part of the Bt horizon and Btg horizon has hue of 7.5YR to 2.5Y, value of 4 to 6, and chroma of 1 to 6. Redox depletions or dominant chroma of 2 or less are above a depth of 40 inches.
Texture is silt loam or silty clay loam.
Clay maximum commonly is 30 to 35 percent, but can range to 40 percent. Reaction ranges from very strongly acid to slightly acid. Some pedons have a BCg horizon. The Cg or C horizon has hue of 10YR or 2.5Y, value of 4 to 6 and chroma of 1 to 4. It is strongly acid to neutral.
