Figure 2 Aerial Photograph
2. There are currently five properties being utilized for this project; one commercial lot
(Self-Storage) and four residential lots. The existing commercial lot routes
stormwater via overland and gutter flow and releases undetained into Johnson Drive.
Once in Johnson Drive, stormwater travels via gutter flow to the east where it is
intercepted by an existing inlet and conveyed directly to Spring Creek. The four
residential lots route stormwater via overland flow and releases undetained into Spring
Court. Once in Spring Court, stormwater travel via gutter flow to the north to Johnson
Drive, with the ultimate destination being Spring Court. The overall existing
impervious area located within in the four properties is 76,857 sq. ft. and was
released undetained. There are currently no water quality measures located on-site.
3. According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS) Soil Survey, the site consists of Altvan-Satanta and Kim
loams, which fall into Hydrologic Soil Groups B. The NRCS soils report is provided in
Appendix E.
4. The proposed development is primarily composed of a proposed student housing
building. Associated site work that will be constructed with this project include water
services, sanitary sewer services, storm sewer, landscaped swales and walls, and
sidewalks along the north, south and east side of the building. Current City Low-
Impact Design (LID) requirements will be implemented with the project, and will
consist of sand filter, which is further discussed in Section IV, below.

II. DRAINAGE BASINS AND SUB-BASINS
A. Major Basin Description
1. The project site lies within the Spring Creek Basin. Detention requirements for this
site are to detain the difference between the 100-yr developed flow rate and the
historic 100-yr release of all existing impervious area and 2-yr release rate from the
existing landscaping areas. The project is composed of five different lots, one is a
commercial lot and the other four are single-family residential lots. Historically, the
lots sheet flow into the surrounding streets undetained. However, Johnson Drive
Apartments will release at a reduced historic rate and will also provide water quality.
The proposed release rate will be reduced to summation of the historic 2-year event
within the existing landscape areas and the historic 100-year event within all the
existing impervious areas. Water quality will be provided for all the paved areas via a
sand filter within the building. All other water quality will be provided by sheet
flowing across landscape areas.
2. There are no previous drainage studies for the area associated with Johnson Drive
Apartments project site.
B. Sub-Basin Description
Johnson Drive Apartments historically drains overland from south to north except for
the southwest corner of the site which is picked up by an irrigation lateral running
west to east. Runoff from the site has historically flowed overland north towards
Spring Creek and eventually enters the Cache La Poudre.
Johnson Drive Apartments
Final Drainage Report 6
Basin HW1 Pervious
Historic Basin HW1 Pervious is 0.18 acres and is roughly the western 2/3 of the
property, and it is only comprised of landscaping area. Runoff generated in this basin
historically sheet flows north into Johnson Drive. Once in Johnson Drive runoff will be
conveyed west to east via curb and gutter until it enters a curb inlet and is further
conveyed to Spring Creek. Basin HW1 Pervious has a 2-yr runoff of 0.06 cfs.
Basin HW1 Impervious
Historic Basin HW1 Impervious is 1.56 acres and is roughly the western 2/3 of the
property, and it is only comprised of the paved and roof areas associated with
Johnson Drive Storage. Runoff generated in this basin historically sheet flows north
into Johnson Drive. Once in Johnson Drive runoff will be conveyed west to east via
curb and gutter until it enters a curb inlet and is further conveyed to Spring Creek.
Basin HW1 Impervious has a 100-yr runoff of 15.48 cfs.
Overall Basin HW is 1.73 acres and has a combined release rate of 15.54 cfs (0.06
cfs + 15.48 cfs) from Basins HW1 Pervious 2-year event and HE1 Impervious 100-
year event.
Basin HE1 Pervious
Historic Basin HE1 Pervious is 0.60 acres and is roughly the eastern 1/3 of the
property, and it is only comprised of landscaping area. Runoff generated in this basin
historically sheet flows directly into Spring Court and is then conveyed north via curb
and gutter until it enters a curb inlet and is conveyed to Spring Creek. Basin HE1
Pervious has a 2-yr runoff of 0.15 cfs.
Basin HE1 Impervious
Historic Basin HE1 Impervious is 0.21 acres and is roughly the eastern 1/3 of the
property, and it is comprised of the paved sidewalks and roof areas. Runoff generated
in this basin historically sheet flows directly into Spring Court and is then conveyed
north via curb and gutter until it enters a curb inlet and is conveyed to Spring Creek.
Basin HE1 Impervious has a 100-yr runoff of 2.08 cfs.
Overall Basin HE is 0.20 acres and has a combined release rate of 2.22 cfs (0.15 cfs
+ 2.08 cfs) from Basins HE1 Pervious 2-year event and HE1 Impervious 100-year
event.
Basin HS1 Pervious
Historic Basin HS1 Pervious is 0.27 acres and is situated in the southwest corner of
the project site. Runoff generated in this area will sheet flow into an existing irrigation
lateral that runs west to east. There is also a small detention pond in this area that is
serving the property to the south of the project site. This area will remain untouched
during the development of Johnson Drive Apartments. Basin HW1 Pervious has a 2-yr
runoff of 0.11 cfs.
Basin HS1 Impervious
Historic Basin HS1 Impervious is 0 acres because it is all vegetated. Basin HW1
Impervious has a 100-yr runoff of 0 cfs.
Overall Basin HS1 is 0.27 acres and has a combined release rate of 0.11 cfs (0.11
cfs + 0 cfs) from Basins HS1 Pervious and HS1 Impervious. Therefore, the overall
historic release rate from the site is 17.88 cfs (15.54 cfs + 2.22 cfs + 0.11 cfs).
However, due to uncapturable flows from Johnson Drive Apartments, which is
Johnson Drive Apartments
Final Drainage Report 7
discussed in Section IV.A, the allowable release rate is reduced to 13.09 cfs.
1. A more detailed description of the project’s proposed drainage patterns follows in
Section IV.A.4.
A full-size copy of the Historic and Proposed Drainage Exhibits can be found in the
Map Pocket at the end of this report.
III. DRAINAGE DESIGN CRITERIA
A. Regulations
There are no optional provisions outside of the FCSCM proposed with the Johnson Drive
Apartments project.
B. Four Step Process
The overall stormwater management strategy employed with the Johnson Drive
Apartments 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 redeveloped from the
current use by implementing multiple Low-Impact Development (LID) strategies including:
Providing as much vegetated open areas as possible along the east, west and south
portion of the site to reduce the overall impervious area and to minimize directly
connected impervious areas (MDCIA).
Selecting a site that has been previously developed to reduce development impacts.
Routing flows, to the extent feasible, through a stormwater detention vault located
internal to the building for water quality purposes. Stormwater will be routed through a
sand filter to increase filtration.
Providing on-site detention to increase time of concentration, and reduce loads on
downstream storm infrastructure.
Routing runoff from the roof directly into the sand filter.
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. The stormwater runoff from the site will be
intercepted and treated using an internal stormwater vault with a water quality capture
volume.
Step 3 – Stabilize Drainageways
There is one major drainageway within the subject property, Sherwood Lateral. While this
step may not seem applicable to proposed development, the project indirectly helps
achieve stabilized drainageways nonetheless. By providing detention and water quality
treatment where none previously existed, sediment and flash flows with erosion potential
are removed from downstream drainageway systems. Furthermore, this project will pay
Johnson Drive Apartments
Final Drainage Report 8
one-time stormwater development fees, as well as ongoing monthly stormwater utility fees,
both of which help achieve City-wide drainageway stability. Additionally, Johnson Drive
Apartments does not intend to alter the south side of the north bank stabilizing the
Sherwood Lateral. Also, Johnson Drive Apartments will be maintaining the North side
slope of the lateral by tying in at the same elevations as the top of the bank
Step 4 – Implement Site Specific and Other Source Control BMPs.
The proposed project includes one multi-story building, covered parking areas within the
structure, retaining walls, and pedestrian sidewalks, all of which will require the need for
site specific source controls including:
A localized trash enclosure placed within the building.
The proposed development will provide LID features within the stormwater vault
internal to the building to provide enhanced water quality. The Sand Filter is designed
to capture the first flush storm event; thus, eliminating sources of potential pollution
previously left exposed to weathering and runoff processes.
C. Development Criteria Reference and Constraints
1. There are no known drainage studies for the existing property.
2. The subject property is a redevelopment project and is surrounded by currently
developed properties. As such, several constraints have been identified during the
course of this analysis that will impact the proposed drainage system including:
Existing elevations along the north, south, east, and west property lines will be
maintained.
Overall drainage patterns of the existing site will be maintained.
Release rates can not adversely impact existing infrastructure.
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 this 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. The Rational Formula-based Modified Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
procedure has been utilized for detention storage calculations.
4. Two separate design storms have been utilized to address distinct drainage scenarios.
The first event analyzed is the “Minor,” or “Initial” Storm, which has a 2-yr recurrence
interval. The second event considered is the “Major Storm,” which has a 100-yr
recurrence interval.
5. 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 Johnson Drive Apartments project are
designed in accordance with criteria outlined in the FCSCM and/or the Urban
Drainage and Flood Control District’s (UDFCD) Urban Storm Drainage Criteria
Johnson Drive Apartments
Final Drainage Report 9
Manual.
3. As stated in Section I.C.1, above, the subject property is encroaching a FEMA 100-
Year High Risk Flood Fringe.
F. Floodplain Regulations Compliance
As previously mentioned, the project site is encroaching a FEMA 100-Year High Risk Flood
Fringe along the northwest corner of the property. Development is allowed within the flood
fringe pursuant to Chapter 10 of the City of Fort Collins Municipal Code. It should be noted
that no structures will be constructed within the floodway with the development of Johnson
Drive Apartments. However, the building and all the landscaping walls do fall within the 100-
year moderate floodplain.
G. Modifications of Criteria
The proposed Johnson Drive Apartments development is not requesting any modifications.
IV. DRAINAGE FACILITY DESIGN
A. General Concept
1. The main objectives of the Johnson Drive Apartments drainage design are to maintain
existing drainage patterns and ensure no adverse impacts to any adjacent properties
or existing infrastructure.
2. As previously mentioned, there are no off-site flows draining onto the existing
property. Additionally, on-site LID feature will be provided which will enhance
downstream water quality. These measures are discussed further below.
3. A list of tables and figures used within this report can be found in the Table of
Contents at the front of the document. The tables and figures are located within the
sections to which the content best applies.
4. The proposed Johnson Drive Apartments project is has been divided into five (5)
major drainage basins, designated as Basins A1, OW1, OS1, OS2, and ON1.
Drainage patterns for basins shown on the Proposed Drainage Exhibit are described
below.
Basin A1
Basin A1 has a net area of 1.668 acres, which corresponds to the entire building
footprint. Runoff generated in Basin A1 will be generated by the roof which will then
convey the runoff to an internal storm vault via roof leaders. The internal storm vault
will also be a sand filter therefore, 100% of the treatable runoff is treated via LID.
Basin A1 will provide onsite detention that is required for the runoff volume difference
between the 100-year developed inflow rate and the 2-year historic release rate for
any net new impervious area. After Basin A1 is detained and treated, it will be
conveyed to Spring Creek via ADS pipe. The 100-year flow rate for Basin A1 is 16.59
cfs.
Basin OW1
Basin OW1 is located between the proposed apartment building and the Mason Street
corridor retaining wall and has a net area of 0.093 acres. This area is all landscaping
but due to existing grades this area will be getting free released into Spring Creek via a
Johnson Drive Apartments
Final Drainage Report 10
Nyloplast inline drain that is connected to the outfall pipe of Basin A1. Since Basin
OW1 is leaving the site undetained and untreated the overall release rate will be
modified to reflect this. The 100-year release rate for Basin OW1 is 0.17 cfs.
Basin OS1
Basin OS1 has a net area of 0.301 acre, and is associated with the Sherwood
Irrigation lateral and detention pond that occupy the southwest corner of the site. This
area has historically bypassed the site flowing east via the irrigation lateral. Johnson
Drive apartments will not be developing anything in this area therefore this runoff will
continue to flow east via the irrigation lateral. Because Johnson Drive Apartments is
not able to capture and treat this area runoff the max allowable release rate will be
reduced to reflect this. The 100-year release rate for Basin OS1 is 1.03 cfs.
Basin OS2
Basin OS2 has a net area of 0.30 acres, and is located along the southern edge of the
proposed apartment building and northern side of the irrigation lateral. All the runoff
generated in Basin OS2 will flow east towards Spring Court via a swale. Runoff
generated in Basin OS2 will freely discharge into Spring Court via a concrete chase.
Therefore, the max allowable release rate will be reduced to reflect that Basin OS2 is
not being detained or treated. The 100-year release rate for Basin OS2 is 0.41 cfs.
Basin ON1
Basin ON1 has a net area of 0.48 acres, and is located along the eastern and
northern edge of the proposed apartment building. All the flow generated in Basin
ON1 will leave the site undetained and untreated via overland flow. The runoff will
either enter Spring Court or Johnson Drive. Once in the public right of way the runoff
will make its way to an existing inlet near the northeast corner of the intersection of
Johnson Drive and Spring Court. From there the runoff will be conveyed to Spring
Creek via pipe. The 100-year release rate for Basin ON1 is 3.18 cfs.
Max Allowable Release Rate
The max allowable release rate for Johnson Drive Apartments is 13.09 cfs. This was
calculated by summing up the historic release rates from Basins HW1, HE1, and HS1
2-year pervious and 100-year impervious rates. Following the calculations laid out in
Section II.B yields a historic release rate of 17.88 cfs. Due to the Basins OS1, OS2,
ON1, and OW1 free releasing off the site the 17.88 cfs was reduced by summation of
the aforementioned basins 100-year release rates which is 4.79 cfs. Therefore, the
max allowable release rate is 17.88 cfs – 4.79 cfs = 13.09 cfs.
B. Specific Details
1. The main drainage problems associated with this project site are the deficiency of
existing stormwater infrastructure present, steep existing grades, an existing irrigation
lateral running across the site, and FEMA floodplain. Currently the site drains to the
northeast. The proposed site will mitigate these issues by instituting the following
water quality and detention facilities:
Johnson Drive Apartments
Final Drainage Report 11
Johnson Drive Apartments will be utilizing a sand filter to treat all the runoff
generated by Basin A1. The sand filter will be incorporated into the internal storm
chamber within the apartment building.
All the free released runoff will be generated by landscaping areas which will
provide minimal water quality via grass buffers.
2. Detention Pond Calculations
Using the FAA Method to detain Basin A1 with a reduced release rate of 13.09 cfs
yields an overall detention volume of 1946 cu. ft. This required volume will be stored
in conjunction with the WQCV within the internal storm chamber.
3. Water Quality Results
Following UDFCD criteria and using the characteristics from Basin A1 wields an
overall water quality capture volume (WQCV) of 2,187 cu. ft. This water quality will
be getting provided via sand filter. With the current configuration of the internal stomr
chamber the actual WQCV is 2,250 cu. ft. The treated runoff will be conveyed to
Spring Creek via HDPE pipe.
4. Below is a breakdown of the LID treatment of the proposed project site.
V. CONCLUSIONS
A. Compliance with Standards
1. The drainage design proposed with the Johnson Drive Apartments project complies
with the City of Fort Collins’ Stormwater Criteria Manual.
2. The drainage design proposed with the Johnson Drive Apartments project complies
with the City of Fort Collins’ Master Drainage Plan for the Spring Creek Basin.
3. The project site is encroached by a 100-Year High Floodplain Fringe along the
northwest corner of the property. However, the development will not adversely impact
any of the downstream infrastructure, as this floodplain is caused by the obstruction
of the College Avenue bridge.
4. The drainage plan and stormwater management measures proposed with the Johnson
Drive Apartments development are compliant with all applicable State and Federal
regulations governing stormwater discharge.

B. Drainage Concept
1. The drainage design proposed with this project will effectively limit potential damage
associated with its stormwater runoff. The total difference in impervious area between
historic and proposed conditions is only 9,801 sq. ft., which is only 8,801 sq. ft.
above the maximum threshold for detention according to the City of Fort Collins
Stormwater Criteria Manual.
2. Johnson Drive Apartments will be releasing at reduced runoff rates from the historic
condition to both Johnson Drive and Spring Court; therefore, there will be no
downstream impacts from this development.
3. Johnson Drive Apartments will provide water quality for a majority of the site (1.668
acres out of 2.80 acreas) with accepted LID treatments. The remaining portion of the
project site will receive water quality by crossing over landscaped areas. The areas
receiving water quality via landscaping were uncatchable and only include the
perimeter areas along the north, south, east, and west.
4. The proposed Johnson Drive Apartments development will not impact the Master
Drainage Plan recommendations for the Spring Creek major drainage basin.

INLETS
Area Inlet Performance Curve:
Design Point OW1 - Inline Drain A2.1
Governing Equations:
At low flow depths, the inlet will act like a weir governed by the following equation:
* where P = 2(L + W)
* where H corresponds to the depth of water above the flowline
At higher flow depths, the inlet will act like an orifice governed by the following equation:
* where A equals the open area of the inlet grate
* where H corresponds to the depth of water above the centroid of the cross-sectional area (A)
The exact depth at which the inlet ceases to act like a weir, and begins to act like an orifice is unknown.
However, what is known, is that the stage-discharge curves of the weir equation and the orifice equation
will cross at a certain flow depth. The two curves can be found below:
If H > 1.792 (A/P), then the grate operates like an orifice; otherwise it operates like a weir.

APPENDIX D
EROSION CONTROL REPORT
A comprehensive Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (along with associated details) will be included
with the final construction drawings. 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 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 Sheet C0.01 and C3.00 of the Utility Plans.
The Utility Plans will also contain a full-size Erosion Control Plan, 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 any existing
Development Agreement(s) of record, as well as the Development Agreement, to be recorded prior
to issuance of the Development Construction Permit. 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,
before commencing any earth disturbing activities. Prior to securing said permit, the Site Contractor
shall develop a comprehensive StormWater Management Plan (SWMP) pursuant to CDPHE

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
(https://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.

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
5
scientists classified and named the soils in the survey area, they compared the
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,
Custom Soil Resource Report
11
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.

Soil Properties and Qualities
The Soil Properties and Qualities section includes various soil properties and
qualities displayed as thematic maps with a summary table for the soil map units in
the selected area of interest. A single value or rating for each map unit is generated
by aggregating the interpretive ratings of individual map unit components. This
aggregation process is defined for each property or quality.
Soil Erosion Factors
Soil Erosion Factors are soil properties and interpretations used in evaluating the
soil for potential erosion. Example soil erosion factors can include K factor for the
whole soil or on a rock free basis, T factor, wind erodibility group and wind erodibility
index.
Wind Erodibility Group (Next Chapter Student Housing)
A wind erodibility group (WEG) consists of soils that have similar properties
affecting their susceptibility to wind erosion in cultivated areas. The soils assigned
to group 1 are the most susceptible to wind erosion, and those assigned to group 8
are the least susceptible.

The wind erodibility index is a numerical value indicating the susceptibility of soil to
wind erosion, or the tons per acre per year that can be expected to be lost to wind
erosion. There is a close correlation between wind erosion and the texture of the
surface layer, the size and durability of surface clods, rock fragments, organic
matter, and a calcareous reaction. Soil moisture and frozen soil layers also
influence wind erosion.

Soil Qualities and Features
Soil qualities are behavior and performance attributes that are not directly
measured, but are inferred from observations of dynamic conditions and from soil
properties. Example soil qualities include natural drainage, and frost action. Soil
features are attributes that are not directly part of the soil. Example soil features
include slope and depth to restrictive layer. These features can greatly impact the
use and management of the soil.
Hydrologic Soil Group (Next Chapter Student Housing)
Hydrologic soil groups are based on estimates of runoff potential. Soils are
assigned to one of four groups according to the rate of water infiltration when the
soils are not protected by vegetation, are thoroughly wet, and receive precipitation
from long-duration storms.
The soils in the United States are assigned to four groups (A, B, C, and D) and
three dual classes (A/D, B/D, and C/D). The groups are defined as follows:
Group A. Soils having a high infiltration rate (low runoff potential) when thoroughly
wet. These consist mainly of deep, well drained to excessively drained sands or
gravelly sands. These soils have a high rate of water transmission.
Custom Soil Resource Report
23
Group B. Soils having a moderate infiltration rate when thoroughly wet. These
consist chiefly of moderately deep or deep, moderately well drained or well drained
soils that have moderately fine texture to moderately coarse texture. These soils
have a moderate rate of water transmission.
Group C. Soils having a slow infiltration rate when thoroughly wet. These consist
chiefly of soils having a layer that impedes the downward movement of water or
soils of moderately fine texture or fine texture. These soils have a slow rate of water
transmission.
Group D. Soils having a very slow infiltration rate (high runoff potential) when
thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of clays that have a high shrink-swell
potential, soils that have a high water table, soils that have a claypan or clay layer at
or near the surface, and soils that are shallow over nearly impervious material.
These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission.
If a soil is assigned to a dual hydrologic group (A/D, B/D, or C/D), the first letter is
for drained areas and the second is for undrained areas. Only the soils that in their
natural condition are in group D are assigned to dual classes.
