I. GENERAL LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
A. Location
Vicinity Map
1. The project site is located in the southwest quarter of Section 12, Township 7 North,
Range 69 West of the 6th Principal Meridian, City of Fort Collins, County of Larimer,
State of Colorado.
2. The project site is located at the southeast corner of College Avenue and Olive Street.
3. The project site lies within the Old Town Basin. A portion of the site drains to the
existing storm sewer system in College Avenue, which is conveyed north in College
Avenue. The majority of the site drains via surface flow into the adjacent curb and
gutter of Olive Street. Runoff is conveyed to existing inlets and storm system within
Olive Street. Water quality treatment for 100% of the site is provided for in the Udall
Natural Area water treatment facility. Per the Old Town Basin Master Plan
requirements, as long as site imperviousness is not increased by more than 5000
square feet, detention is not required for the site. The proposed site plan proposes
less than a 5000 square foot increase in imperviousness; therefore, detention is not
required. However, the site still must meet current City Low Impact Development
Uncommon
Final Drainage and Erosion Control Report 2
(LID) requirements. Several water quality filtering methods are proposed for the site,
and are described in further detail below.
4. As this is an infill site, the area surrounding the site is fully developed.
5. No offsite flows enter the site from the north, south, west, or east. Adjacent areas to
the south and east are directed via sheet flow into adjacent alleyways. Adjacent areas
to the north and west are directed into the adjacent curb and gutters of College Ave.
and Olive St. A small offsite basin, noted on the Drainage Exhibit as Basin OS1,
contributes 1.6 cfs in a 100-year event to the adjacent alley to the east of the
property. This flow will be conveyed within the proposed inverted crown section of
the improved alley.
B. Description of Property
1. The development area is roughly 0.8 net acres.
Figure 1 – Aerial Photograph
2. The subject property is currently composed of existing buildings, and a large paved
parking area. Previously, the “Perkins” restaurant occupied the property. Existing
ground slopes are mild to moderate (i.e., 1 - 6±%) through the interior of the
Uncommon
Final Drainage and Erosion Control Report 3
property. General topography slopes from southwest to northeast.
3. According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS) Soil Survey website:
http://websoilsurvey.nrcs.usda.gov/app/WebSoilSurvey.aspx,
the site consists of Fort Collins loam (Hydrologic Soil Group C).
4. The proposed project site plan (please see Figure 2, below) is composed of mixed-
use development and a multi-level parking structure. A portion of the parking
structure will be sub-surface. Associated site work, water, and sewer lines will be
constructed with the development. Current City Low Impact Development (LID)
requirements will be implemented with the project, and will consist of several LID
features which are discussed in Section IV, below.
Figure 2– Proposed Site Plan
5. There are no known irrigation laterals crossing the site.
6. The proposed land use is a mixed-use development (commercial and residential).
Uncommon
Final Drainage and Erosion Control Report 4
C. Floodplain
1. The project site is encroached by a City designated 100-year floodplain and floodway,
as shown in Figure 3, below. Portions of proposed structures are located within the
100-year floodplain. No proposed structures are located within the College Avenue
floodway. The proposed development will be designed at Final to be in compliance
with Chapter 10 of City Code.
Figure 3 –Area Floodplain Mapping
2. A minimum of 18-inches of freeboard will be provided from base (100-year) flood
elevation in adjacent Right of Way. This freeboard level will be applied to either the
design of finished floor elevations, or the minimum level of flood proofing measures.
HVAC is planned for the roof of the structure, and will be well above flood elevation.
Oz Architecture is coordinating floodproofing measures for all proposed structures.
We understand that the underground parking structure will be floodproofed utilizing
automated flood gates for drive entries and manual flood gates for pedestrian entries;
Uncommon
Final Drainage and Erosion Control Report 5
however, please refer to the flood protection plans prepared by Oz Architecture.
3. The base (100-year) flood elevation in the vicinity of the proposed structures is
4995.60, which is referenced to the NAVD 88 Datum. This flood elevation was
provided by the City of Fort Collins Stormwater Utility, and was interpolated at the
upstream (southwest) corner of the proposed structure.
4. The vertical datum utilized for site survey work is the City of Fort Collins Benchmark
#29-97 (Elevation=4978.01; NAVD 88).
5. It is noted that surrounding developments have used the NGVD 29 (unadjusted)
datum. The conversion from NAVD 88 to NGVD 29 (unadjusted) datum is -3.17-ft.
6. Foundation for the retail/residential structures will be a combination of slab on grade
and a basement foundation. There will be an underground parking structure below a
portion of the retail/residential structure, which we consider to be a basement
foundation.
7. All requirements per City of Fort Collins “Floodproofing Guidelines”
(http://www.fcgov.com/utilities/img/site_specific/uploads/fp-floodproofing.pdf) will be
met.
8. A floodplain use permit will be required for each structure and each site construction
element (detention ponds, bike paths, parking lots, utilities, etc.) in the floodplain.
9. A FEMA elevation and floodproofing certificate will be completed before the Certificate
of Occupancy (C.O.) is issued.
10. A small amount of grading may be necessary within the floodway. A No-Rise analysis
will be provided when a floodplain use permit is applied for.
II. DRAINAGE BASINS AND SUB-BASINS
A. Major Basin Description
7. The project site lies within the Old Town Basin. Water quality treatment for 100% of
the site is provided for in the Udall Natural Area water treatment facility. Per the Old
Town Basin Master Plan requirements, as long as site imperviousness is not increased
by more than 5000 square feet, detention is not required for the site. The proposed
site plan proposes less than a 5000 square foot increase in imperviousness; therefore,
detention is not required. However, the site still must meet current City Low Impact
Development (LID) requirements. Several water filtering locations are proposed for
the site, and are described in further detail below.
B. Sub-Basin Description
1. The subject property historically drains overland from southwest to northeast. Runoff
from the majority of the site has historically been collected in the existing Montezuma
Fuller Alleyway which directs flows north into the south flowline of Olive Street. The
proposed site plan will generally maintain existing runoff patterns.
2. A more detailed description of the project drainage patterns is provided below.
Uncommon
Final Drainage and Erosion Control Report 6
III. DRAINAGE DESIGN CRITERIA
A. Regulations
There are no optional provisions outside of the FCSCM proposed with the proposed
project.
B. Four Step Process
The overall stormwater management strategy employed with the proposed project utilizes
the “Four Step Process” to minimize adverse impacts of urbanization on receiving waters.
The following is a description of how the proposed development has incorporated each
step.
Step 1 – Employ Runoff Reduction Practices
Several techniques have been utilized with the proposed development to facilitate the
reduction of runoff peaks, volumes, and pollutant loads as the site is developed from the
current use by implementing multiple Low Impact Development (LID) strategies including:
Conserving existing amenities in the site including the existing vegetated areas.
Providing vegetated open areas throughout the site to reduce the overall impervious
area and to minimize directly connected impervious areas (MDCIA).
Routing flows, to the extent feasible, through vegetated swales to increase time of
concentration, promote infiltration and provide initial water quality.
Step 2 – Implement BMPs That Provide a Water Quality Capture Volume (WQCV) with
Slow Release
The efforts taken in Step 1 will facilitate the reduction of runoff; however, urban
development of this intensity will still generate stormwater runoff that will require
additional BMPs and water quality. A significant portion of stormwater runoff from the site
will be intercepted and treated using stormwater planter boxes.
Step 3 – Stabilize Drainageways
There are no major drainageways within the subject property. While this step may not
seem applicable to proposed development, the project indirectly helps achieve stabilized
drainageways nonetheless. By providing water quality treatment, where none previously
existed, sediment with erosion potential is removed from downstream drainageway
systems. Furthermore, this project will pay one-time stormwater development fees, as
well as ongoing monthly stormwater utility fees, both of which help achieve City-wide
drainageway stability.
Step 4 – Implement Site Specific and Other Source Control BMPs.
The proposed project will improve upon site specific source controls compared to historic
conditions:
The proposed development will provide LID features which enhance water quality;
thus, eliminating sources of potential pollution previously left exposed to weathering
and runoff processes.
C. Development Criteria Reference and Constraints
The subject property is surrounded by currently developed properties. Thus, several
constraints have been identified during the course of this analysis that will impact the
proposed drainage system including:
Uncommon
Final Drainage and Erosion Control Report 7
Existing elevations along the property lines will generally be maintained.
As previously mentioned, overall drainage patterns of the existing site will be
maintained.
Elevations of existing downstream facilities to which the subject property releases
to will be maintained.
D. Hydrological Criteria
1. The City of Fort Collins Rainfall Intensity-Duration-Frequency Curves, as depicted in
Figure RA-16 of the FCSCM, serve as the source for all hydrologic computations
associated with the proposed development. Tabulated data contained in Table RA-7
has been utilized for Rational Method runoff calculations.
2. The Rational Method has been employed to compute stormwater runoff utilizing
coefficients contained in Tables RO-11 and RO-12 of the FCSCM.
3. Three separate design storms have been utilized to address distinct drainage
scenarios. A fourth design storm has also been computed for comparison purposes.
The first design storm considered is the 80th percentile rain event, which has been
employed to design the project’s water quality features. The second event analyzed is
the “Minor,” or “Initial” Storm, which has a 2-year recurrence interval. The third
event considered is the “Major Storm,” which has a 100-year recurrence interval.
The fourth storm computed, for comparison purposes only, is the 10-year event.
4. No other assumptions or calculation methods have been used with this development
that are not referenced by current City of Fort Collins criteria.
E. Hydraulic Criteria
1. As previously noted, the subject property maintains historic drainage patterns.
2. All drainage facilities proposed with the project are designed in accordance with
criteria outlined in the FCSCM and/or the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District
(UDFCD) Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual.
3. As stated above, the subject property is located in a City designated 100-year
floodplain (Old Town Basin, College Ave. Floodplain). The proposed project does not
propose to modify any natural drainageways.
F. Modifications of Criteria
1. The proposed development is not requesting any modifications to criteria at this time.
IV. DRAINAGE FACILITY DESIGN
A. General Concept
1. The main objectives of the project drainage design are to maintain existing drainage
patterns, and to ensure no adverse impacts to any adjacent properties.
2. Onsite LID features consisting primarily of raised planter boxes which will enhance
water quality. These measures are discussed further below.
3. Drainage patterns anticipated for drainage basins shown in the Drainage Exhibit are
described below. Drainage basins have been defined for preliminary design purposes
and are subject to change at Final design; however, general drainage patterns and
concepts are not expected to be significantly altered.
Uncommon
Final Drainage and Erosion Control Report 8
Basin 1
Basin 1 will generally drain via rooftop flow and roof drains which will direct drainage
into the adjacent College Avenue Right of Way. Drainage within College Avenue is
directed into a series of combination inlets located just south of the intersection of
College and Olive Street.
Basin 2
Basin 2 will generally drain via sheet flow into LID features (further described below)
and then into the adjacent alley to the east of the project site. The alley currently
accepts the majority of historic flows from the property and will continue with this
pattern. The alley currently consists of a concrete paved section with a reverse crown
and drains from south to north into the south flowline of Olive Street. This historic
drainage pattern will be maintained with the proposed site plan.
Basin 3
Basin 3 will generally drain via sheet flow into the adjacent alley running along the
east project boundary, which will convey flows into Olive Street. Spot elevations
showing positive drainage to the alley will be provided at Final design.
Basin OS1
Basin OS1 consists of offsite areas, which are primarily paved parking and drive areas
to the south and east, as well as the adjacent alley east of the project site. This basin
will sheet flow into the alley and be conveyed within the reverse crown of the alley
north into the south flowline of Olive Street.
A full-size copy of the Drainage Exhibit can be found in the Map Pocket at the end of
this report. Runoff computations for these basins based on the Rational Method is
provided in Appendix A.
B. Specific Details
1. As stated previously, water quality treatment for 100% of the site is provided
for in the Udall Natural Area water treatment facility. The proposed onsite LID
measures are being provided to satisfy the 50% LID requirement. The primary
Low Impact Development (LID) measure consists of stormwater planter boxes
as shown on the drainage exhibit.

Final Drainage and Erosion Control Report 9
Figure 4 –LID Stormwater Planter Box Concept
2. The current site plan utilizes a multi-level parking structure for all onsite parking.
Because of this, the site is exempt from the 25% permeable pavement metric.
3. City of Fort Collins standard operating procedures (SOPs) for all onsite
drainage facilities will be included as part of the Development Agreement for
the project.
4. Proper maintenance of the drainage facilities designed with the proposed
development is a critical component of their ongoing performance and
effectiveness.
V. CONCLUSIONS
A. Compliance with Standards
1. The drainage design proposed with the proposed project complies with the City of Fort
Collins’ Stormwater Criteria Manual.
2. The drainage design proposed with this project complies with requirements for the Old
Town Basin.
3. The drainage plan and stormwater management measures proposed with the
proposed development are compliant with all applicable State and Federal regulations
governing stormwater discharge.
4. The proposed development will be designed at Final to be in compliance with Chapter
10 of City Code.
B. Drainage Concept
1. The drainage design proposed with this project will effectively limit any potential
damage associated with its stormwater runoff by compliance with requirements set
forth in current City master plans.
2. The drainage concept for the proposed development is consistent with requirements
for the Old Town Basin.

Erosion Control Report
EROSION CONTROL REPORT
A comprehensive Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (along with associated details) HAS BEEN
PROVIDED BY SEPARATE DOCUMENT. It should be noted, however, that any such Erosion and
Sediment Control Plan serves only as a general guide to the Contractor. Staging and/or phasing of
the BMPs depicted, and additional or different BMPs from those included may be necessary during
construction, or as required by the authorities having jurisdiction.
It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to ensure erosion control measures are properly
maintained and followed. The Erosion and Sediment Control Plan is intended to be a living
document, constantly adapting to site conditions and needs. The Contractor shall update the
location of BMPs as they are installed, removed or modified in conjunction with construction
activities. It is imperative to appropriately reflect the current site conditions at all times.
The Erosion and Sediment Control Plan shall address both temporary measures to be implemented
during construction, as well as permanent erosion control protection. Best Management Practices
from the Volume 3, Chapter 7 – Construction BMPs will be utilized. Measures may include, but are
not limited to, silt fencing along the disturbed perimeter, gutter protection in the adjacent roadways
and inlet protection at existing and proposed storm inlets. Vehicle tracking control pads, spill
containment and clean-up procedures, designated concrete washout areas, dumpsters, and job site
restrooms shall also be provided by the Contractor.
Grading and Erosion Control Notes can be found on the Utility Plans. The Final Plans contain a
full-size Erosion Control sheet as well as a separate sheet dedicated to Erosion Control Details. In
addition to this report and the referenced plan sheets, the Contractor shall be aware of, and adhere
to, the applicable requirements outlined in the Development Agreement for the development. Also,
the Site Contractor for this project will be required to secure a Stormwater Construction General
Permit from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), Water Quality
Control Division – Stormwater Program, prior to any earth disturbance activities. Prior to securing
said permit, the Site Contractor shall develop a comprehensive StormWater Management Plan
(SWMP) pursuant to CDPHE requirements and guidelines. The SWMP will further describe and
document the ongoing activities, inspections, and maintenance of construction BMPs.

Preface
Soil surveys contain information that affects land use planning in survey areas. They
highlight soil limitations that affect various land uses and provide information about
the properties of the soils in the survey areas. Soil surveys are designed for many
different users, including farmers, ranchers, foresters, agronomists, urban planners,
community officials, engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers. Also,
conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation, waste disposal,
and pollution control can use the surveys to help them understand, protect, or enhance
the environment.
Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may impose
special restrictions on land use or land treatment. Soil surveys identify soil properties
that are used in making various land use or land treatment decisions. The information
is intended to help the land users identify and reduce the effects of soil limitations on
various land uses. The landowner or user is responsible for identifying and complying
with existing laws and regulations.
Although soil survey information can be used for general farm, local, and wider area
planning, onsite investigation is needed to supplement this information in some cases.
Examples include soil quality assessments (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/
nrcs/main/soils/health/) and certain conservation and engineering applications. For
more detailed information, contact your local USDA Service Center (http://
offices.sc.egov.usda.gov/locator/app?agency=nrcs) or your NRCS State Soil
Scientist (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/detail/soils/contactus/?
cid=nrcs142p2_053951).
Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances. Some soils are
seasonally wet or subject to flooding. Some are too unstable to be used as a
foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils are poorly suited to use as septic
tank absorption fields. A high water table makes a soil poorly suited to basements or
underground installations.
The National Cooperative Soil Survey is a joint effort of the United States Department
of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the Agricultural
Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The Natural Resources Conservation
Service (NRCS) has leadership for the Federal part of the National Cooperative Soil
Survey.
Information about soils is updated periodically. Updated information is available
through the NRCS Web Soil Survey, the site for official soil survey information.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) prohibits discrimination in all its programs
and activities on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, disability, and where

How Soil Surveys Are Made
Soil surveys are made to provide information about the soils and miscellaneous areas
in a specific area. They include a description of the soils and miscellaneous areas and
their location on the landscape and tables that show soil properties and limitations
affecting various uses. Soil scientists observed the steepness, length, and shape of
the slopes; the general pattern of drainage; the kinds of crops and native plants; and
the kinds of bedrock. They observed and described many soil profiles. A soil profile is
the sequence of natural layers, or horizons, in a soil. The profile extends from the
surface down into the unconsolidated material in which the soil formed or from the
surface down to bedrock. The unconsolidated material is devoid of roots and other
living organisms and has not been changed by other biological activity.
Currently, soils are mapped according to the boundaries of major land resource areas
(MLRAs). MLRAs are geographically associated land resource units that share
common characteristics related to physiography, geology, climate, water resources,
soils, biological resources, and land uses (USDA, 2006). Soil survey areas typically
consist of parts of one or more MLRA.
The soils and miscellaneous areas in a survey area occur in an orderly pattern that is
related to the geology, landforms, relief, climate, and natural vegetation of the area.
Each kind of soil and miscellaneous area is associated with a particular kind of
landform or with a segment of the landform. By observing the soils and miscellaneous
areas in the survey area and relating their position to specific segments of the
landform, a soil scientist develops a concept, or model, of how they were formed. Thus,
during mapping, this model enables the soil scientist to predict with a considerable
degree of accuracy the kind of soil or miscellaneous area at a specific location on the
landscape.
Commonly, individual soils on the landscape merge into one another as their
characteristics gradually change. To construct an accurate soil map, however, soil
scientists must determine the boundaries between the soils. They can observe only
a limited number of soil profiles. Nevertheless, these observations, supplemented by
an understanding of the soil-vegetation-landscape relationship, are sufficient to verify
predictions of the kinds of soil in an area and to determine the boundaries.
Soil scientists recorded the characteristics of the soil profiles that they studied. They
noted soil color, texture, size and shape of soil aggregates, kind and amount of rock
fragments, distribution of plant roots, reaction, and other features that enable them to
identify soils. After describing the soils in the survey area and determining their
properties, the soil scientists assigned the soils to taxonomic classes (units).
Taxonomic classes are concepts. Each taxonomic class has a set of soil
characteristics with precisely defined limits. The classes are used as a basis for
comparison to classify soils systematically. Soil taxonomy, the system of taxonomic
classification used in the United States, is based mainly on the kind and character of
soil properties and the arrangement of horizons within the profile. After the soil
scientists classified and named the soils in the survey area, they compared the
5
individual soils with similar soils in the same taxonomic class in other areas so that
they could confirm data and assemble additional data based on experience and
research.
The objective of soil mapping is not to delineate pure map unit components; the
objective is to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that have
similar use and management requirements. Each map unit is defined by a unique
combination of soil components and/or miscellaneous areas in predictable
proportions. Some components may be highly contrasting to the other components of
the map unit. The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes
the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The delineation of such landforms and
landform segments on the map provides sufficient information for the development of
resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, onsite investigation is
needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas.
Soil scientists make many field observations in the process of producing a soil map.
The frequency of observation is dependent upon several factors, including scale of
mapping, intensity of mapping, design of map units, complexity of the landscape, and
experience of the soil scientist. Observations are made to test and refine the soil-
landscape model and predictions and to verify the classification of the soils at specific
locations. Once the soil-landscape model is refined, a significantly smaller number of
measurements of individual soil properties are made and recorded. These
measurements may include field measurements, such as those for color, depth to
bedrock, and texture, and laboratory measurements, such as those for content of
sand, silt, clay, salt, and other components. Properties of each soil typically vary from
one point to another across the landscape.
Observations for map unit components are aggregated to develop ranges of
characteristics for the components. The aggregated values are presented. Direct
measurements do not exist for every property presented for every map unit
component. Values for some properties are estimated from combinations of other
properties.
While a soil survey is in progress, samples of some of the soils in the area generally
are collected for laboratory analyses and for engineering tests. Soil scientists interpret
the data from these analyses and tests as well as the field-observed characteristics
and the soil properties to determine the expected behavior of the soils under different
uses. Interpretations for all of the soils are field tested through observation of the soils
in different uses and under different levels of management. Some interpretations are
modified to fit local conditions, and some new interpretations are developed to meet
local needs. Data are assembled from other sources, such as research information,
production records, and field experience of specialists. For example, data on crop
yields under defined levels of management are assembled from farm records and from
field or plot experiments on the same kinds of soil.
Predictions about soil behavior are based not only on soil properties but also on such
variables as climate and biological activity. Soil conditions are predictable over long
periods of time, but they are not predictable from year to year. For example, soil
scientists can predict with a fairly high degree of accuracy that a given soil will have
a high water table within certain depths in most years, but they cannot predict that a
high water table will always be at a specific level in the soil on a specific date.
After soil scientists located and identified the significant natural bodies of soil in the
survey area, they drew the boundaries of these bodies on aerial photographs and
identified each as a specific map unit. Aerial photographs show trees, buildings, fields,
roads, and rivers, all of which help in locating boundaries accurately.

Map Unit Descriptions
The map units delineated on the detailed soil maps in a soil survey represent the soils
or miscellaneous areas in the survey area. The map unit descriptions, along with the
maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit.
A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more
major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named
according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic
class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the landscape,
however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the characteristic variability
of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some observed properties may extend
beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class. Areas of soils of a single taxonomic
class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without including areas of other taxonomic
classes. Consequently, every map unit is made up of the soils or miscellaneous areas
for which it is named and some minor components that belong to taxonomic classes
other than those of the major soils.
Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the
map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called
noncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a
particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties
and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different
management. These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. They generally
are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the scale used.
Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas are identified
by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a given area, the
contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit descriptions along with
some characteristics of each. A few areas of minor components may not have been
observed, and consequently they are not mentioned in the descriptions, especially
where the pattern was so complex that it was impractical to make enough observations
to identify all the soils and miscellaneous areas on the landscape.
The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the usefulness
or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate pure taxonomic
classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that
have similar use and management requirements. The delineation of such segments
on the map provides sufficient information for the development of resource plans. If
intensive use of small areas is planned, however, onsite investigation is needed to
define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas.

An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions. Each
description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soil properties
and qualities.
Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soil series. Except for
differences in texture of the surface layer, all the soils of a series have major horizons
that are similar in composition, thickness, and arrangement.
Soils of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope, stoniness, salinity,
degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use. On the basis of such
differences, a soil series is divided into soil phases. Most of the areas shown on the
detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. The name of a soil phase commonly
indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example, Alpha silt loam, 0
to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the Alpha series.
Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas.
These map units are complexes, associations, or undifferentiated groups.
A complex consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate
pattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps. The
pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar in all
areas. Alpha-Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an example.
An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or
miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of present or
anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not considered practical
or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. The pattern and
relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar. Alpha-
Beta association, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas that
could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar
interpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and proportion of
the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform. An area can be
made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it can be made up
of all of them. Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
Some surveys include miscellaneous areas. Such areas have little or no soil material
and support little or no vegetation. Rock outcrop is an example.
