Preliminary Drainage Report 1
I. GENERAL LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
A. Location
1. Vicinity Map
2. The project site is located in the east half of Section 7, Township 6 North, Range 68
West of the 6th Principal Meridian, City of Fort Collins, County of Larimer, State of
Colorado.
3. The project site is located just west of the intersection of Timberline Rd. and Rosen
Dr.
4. Existing residential developments, Fossil Creek at Linden Park, Crowne at Timberline
LP exist to the south of the site; Willow Springs exists to the north of the site.
5. No significant offsite flows enter the site from the north or south. There are existing
ridgelines near the northern and southern boundaries of the site. Timberline Road has
a high point just northeast of the site and acts as a barrier for any offsite flows from
the east. Historic flows convey west towards the existing Union Pacific Railroad
embankment and pass under the embankment through an existing large diameter
ductile iron pipe.
Rennat Subdivision
Preliminary Drainage Report 2
B. Description of Property
1. The overall property is 57.83 acres in size; however, the proposed development area
is roughly 33.5 acres in size.
Figure 1 – Aerial Photograph
2. The subject property is currently composed of undeveloped land. Existing ground
slopes are mild to moderate (i.e., 1 - 6±%) through the interior of the property.
Historic drainage patterns direct flows generally from north, south and east, and drain
via sheet flow collecting within an existing wet pond in the west central portion of the
site.
3. Historically, the majority of storm runoff discharges into the existing wet pond located
within the west central portion of the site. The proposed development will maintain
historic drainage patterns and will provide detention within the upper level of the
existing wet pond, as discussed further below.
4. The proposed detention pond will overdetain flows and release below historic rates
west to the existing culvert under the Union Pacific Railroad embankment. We
propose to restrict peak 100-year discharge from the proposed detention pond to no
greater than 5.0 cfs, as discussed below.
5. The proposed site design will include both LID and Extended Detention water quality
treatment prior to stormwater discharge from the site. Water quality treatment
methods are described in further detail below.
6. According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS) Soil Survey website:
PROJECT SITE
Rennat Subdivision
Preliminary Drainage Report 3
http://websoilsurvey.nrcs.usda.gov/app/WebSoilSurvey.aspx,
the site primarily consists of Fort Collins Loam, which falls into Hydrologic Soil Group
B, and Aquepts Loam, which falls into Hydrologic Soil Group D.
7. The proposed project site plan is composed of single family, and multi-family
residential development Associated site work, water, and sewer lines will be
constructed with the development. Onsite detention water quality treatment is
proposed and will consist of several features which are discussed in Section IV.
Figure 2– Proposed Site Plan
8. The proposed land use is single family and multi-family residential.

C. Floodplain
1. The project site is not encroached by any FEMA jurisdictional flood zone.
Additionally, the site is not encroached by any City designated flood zones, as shown
in Figure 3, below.
Figure 3 –Area Floodplain Mapping
II. DRAINAGE BASINS AND SUB-BASINS
A. Major Basin Description
1. The project site lies within the Fossil Creek Master Drainage Basin. Onsite detention
is required for the runoff volume difference between the 100-year developed inflow
rate and the historic 2-year rate, which is specified in the master plan as 0.20 cfs per
acre.
2. We propose to overdetain flows and release below historic rates west to the existing
culvert under the Union Pacific Railroad embankment. We propose to restrict peak
100-year discharge from the proposed detention pond to no greater than 5.0 cfs,
which is below the allowable release rate per the Fossil Creek master drainage study
of 0.20 cfs per acre, which translates to 11.6 cfs for the 57.83 acre site. This
reduced release rate is proposed in order to mitigate any potential downstream
impacts
B. Sub-Basin Description
1. Historically, the majority of storm runoff discharges into the existing wet pond located
within the west central portion of the site. Depending on the antecedent water level
in the pond, historic flows would overflow from the pond and convey west under the
PROJECT SITE
Rennat Subdivision
Preliminary Drainage Report 5
adjacent Union Pacific railroad embankment through an existing ductile iron pipe with
an estimated diameter of 42-inches. From this pipe, the flow path for historic flows
conveys storm runoff through the Southridge Golf Course, located just west of the
railroad embankment and then into the existing storm system within the Greenridge at
Southridge Greens subdivision. Ultimately historic runoff conveys west into Fossil
Creek. The proposed development will maintain historic drainage patterns and will
provide detention within the upper level of the existing wet pond.
2. A more detailed description of the project drainage patterns is provided below.
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. The majority of stormwater runoff from the site will
ultimately be intercepted and treated using detention and LID treatment methods prior to
exiting the site.
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:
Rennat Subdivision
Preliminary Drainage Report 6
The proposed development will provide LID and water quality treatment; 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:
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 that the subject property will release to
will be maintained.
D. Hydrological Criteria
1. The City of Fort Collins Rainfall Intensity-Duration-Frequency Curves, as depicted in
Figure 3.4-1 of the FCSCM, serve as the source for all hydrologic computations
associated with the proposed development. Tabulated data contained in Table 3.4-1
has been utilized for Rational Method runoff calculations.
2. The Rational Method has been employed to compute stormwater runoff utilizing runoff
coefficients contained and frequency adjustment factors in Tables 3.2-2 and 3.2-3 of
the FCSCM.
Table 3.2-2 –Surface Type – Runoff Coefficients (City of Fort Collins Stormwater Criteria Manual,
Ref.1)
Rennat Subdivision
Preliminary Drainage Report 7
Table 3.2-3 –Frequency Adjustment Factors (City of Fort Collins Stormwater Criteria Manual,
Ref.1)
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 not located in a FEMA designated floodplain,
or within a City designated floodplain and floodway. 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.
Rennat Subdivision
Preliminary Drainage Report 8
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. LID and water quality treatment will be provided in the form of forebays, extended
detention, and an existing wet pond, as 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.
Basins 1, 6a, 7a
Basins 1, 6a, and 7a consist of single family areas, right of way, and open space.
Drainage from these basins will be conveyed via street curb and gutter to proposed
storm sewer systems, which will direct developed runoff into Rain Garden 1. This rain
garden will pre-treat developed runoff prior to discharge into the existing pond located
within the central western portion of the site, which will provide detention of
developed runoff.
Basins 2, 5, 6b, 7b, 12
Basins 2, 5, 6b, 7b, 12 consist of single family areas, right of way, and open space.
Drainage from these basins will be conveyed via street curb and gutter to proposed
storm sewer systems, which will direct developed runoff into Water Quality Pond 1.
This water quality pond will pre-treat developed runoff prior to discharge into the
existing pond located within the central western portion of the site, which will provide
detention of developed runoff.
Basins 3,8,9,13
Basins 3,8,9,13 consist of single family areas, right of way, and open space.
Drainage from these basins will be conveyed via street curb and gutter to proposed
storm sewer systems which will direct developed runoff into detention Pond 1. This
pond will provide attenuation prior to discharge into a main storm line running east-
west through the site and discharging into the existing wet pond. No water quality
treatment will be provided in this pond; the purpose of the pond is attenuation and
downsizing of the main storm line running through the site. Discharge from Pond 1
will be conveyed in the proposed storm sewer system, which will direct developed
runoff into Rain Garden 1. This rain garden will pre-treat developed runoff prior to
discharge into the existing pond located within the central western portion of the site.
Basin 10
Basin 10 consists of frontage of a small portion of single family area and right of way.
Drainage from the basin will flow in right of way to offsite right of way to the east.
Basin 11a
Basin 11a consists of single family fronts of lots, and right of way. Drainage from this
basin will be conveyed via street curb and gutter to a proposed sidewalk culvert. This
sidewalk culvert will direct developed runoff into Water Quality Pond 2, which will
pre-treat developed runoff prior to discharge into the existing pond located within the
central western portion of the site.
Rennat Subdivision
Preliminary Drainage Report 9
Basin 11b
Basin 11b consists of backs of lots of a single family area. Drainage from the basin
will sheet flow to offsite areas to the south, which is the historic drainage pattern. We
will be reducing runoff area, and maintaining the sheet flow character of runoff from
this area. Thus, we propose no adverse impact to offsite properties.
A full-size copy of the Drainage Exhibit can be found in the Map Pocket at the end of
this report.
B. Specific Details
1. Standard water quality treatment in the form of Extended Detention is being
provided for the overall proposed development within the Water Quality Ponds
1 and 2. We have computed required extended detention volume based on
the standard water quality treatment for 50% of site runoff. Please see Water
Quality Capture Volume (Extended Detention) computations provided in
Appendix B.
2. LID treatment is being provided within Rain Garden 1, which will provide in
excess of the required LID treatment of 50% of site runoff. Please see Water
Rain Garden computations provided in Appendix B.
3. The overall site drains into the existing wet Pond. The existing pond has a
permanent water surface and will provide detention above the this water
surface. Existing established wetland vegetation and the permanent water
surface will greatly enhance water quality for runoff discharging from the site.
Rain Garden 1, Water Quality Pond 1, and Water Quality Pond 2 will be
provided for pre-treatment for the majority of developed runoff prior to entry to
the existing wetland.

Runoff coefficients used for the Rational Method are determined based on either overall land use or
surface type across the drainage area. For Overall Drainage Plan (ODP) submittals, when surface types
may not yet be known, land use shall be used to estimate flow rates and volumes. Table 3.2-1 lists the
runoff coefficients for common types of land uses in the City.

3.2.1 Composite Runoff Coefficients
Drainage sub-basins are frequently composed of land that has multiple surface types or zoning
classifications. In such cases a composite runoff coefficient must be calculated for any given drainage
sub-basin.
The composite runoff coefficient is obtained using the following formula:
( )
t
n
i
i i
A
C xA
C
∑
= = 1 Equation 5-2
Where: C = Composite Runoff Coefficient
Ci = Runoff Coefficient for Specific Area (Ai), dimensionless
Ai = Area of Surface with Runoff Coefficient of Ci, acres or square feet
n = Number of different surfaces to be considered
At = Total Area over which C is applicable, acres or square feet
3.2.2 Runoff Coefficient Frequency Adjustment Factor
The runoff coefficients provided in Table 3.2-1 and Table 3.2-2 are appropriate for use with the 2-year
storm event. For any analysis of storms with higher intensities, an adjustment of the runoff coefficient is
required due to the lessening amount of infiltration, depression retention, evapotranspiration and other
losses that have a proportionally smaller effect on high-intensity storm runoff. This adjustment is

3.3 Time of Concentration
3.3.1 Overall Equation
The next step to approximate runoff using the Rational Method is to estimate the Time of
Concentration, Tc, or the time for water to flow from the most remote part of the drainage sub-basin to
the design point under consideration.
The Time of Concentration is represented by the following equation:
𝐓𝐓𝐜𝐜 = 𝐓𝐓
𝐢𝐢 + 𝐓𝐓𝐭𝐭
Equation 5-3
Where: Tc = Total Time of Concentration, minutes
Ti = Initial or Overland Flow Time of Concentration, minutes
Tt = Channelized Flow in Swale, Gutter or Pipe, minutes
3.3.2 Overland Flow Time
Overland flow, Ti, can be determined by the following equation:
𝐓𝐓𝐢𝐢 =
𝟏𝟏.𝟖𝟖𝟖𝟖(𝟏𝟏.𝟏𝟏−𝐂𝐂𝐂𝐂𝐂𝐂𝐟𝐟)√𝐋𝐋
√𝐒𝐒
𝟑𝟑 Equation 3.3-2
Where: C = Runoff Coefficient, dimensionless
Cf = Frequency Adjustment Factor, dimensionless

3.3.3 Channelized Flow Time
Travel time in a swale, gutter or storm pipe is considered “channelized” or “concentrated” flow and can
be estimated using the Manning’s Equation:
𝐕𝐕 =
𝟏𝟏.𝟒𝟒𝟒𝟒
𝐧𝐧
𝐑𝐑𝟐𝟐/𝟑𝟑
𝐒𝐒𝟏𝟏/𝟐𝟐
Equation 5-4
Where: V = Velocity, feet/second
n = Roughness Coefficient, dimensionless
R = Hydraulic Radius, feet (Hydraulic Radius = area / wetted perimeter, feet)
S = Longitudinal Slope, feet/feet
And:
𝐓𝐓𝐭𝐭 =
𝐋𝐋
𝐕𝐕𝐂𝐂𝐕𝐕𝐕𝐕
Equation 5-5
3.3.4 Total Time of Concentration
A minimum Tc of 5 minutes is required. The maximum Tc
allowed for the most upstream design point shall be
calculated using the following equation:
𝐓𝐓𝐜𝐜 =
𝐋𝐋
𝟏𝟏𝟖𝟖𝐕𝐕
+ 𝟏𝟏𝐕𝐕 Equation 3.3-5
The Total Time of Concentration, Tc, is the lesser of the
values of Tc calculated using Tc = Ti + Tt or the equation
listed above.

Erosion Control Report
Rennat Subdivision
Preliminary 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 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 will 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
(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
Custom Soil Resource Report
11
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.

This product is generated from the USDA-NRCS certified data as
of the version date(s) listed below.
Soil Survey Area: Larimer County Area, Colorado
Survey Area Data: Version 13, Sep 10, 2018
Soil map units are labeled (as space allows) for map scales
1:50,000 or larger.
Date(s) aerial images were photographed: Aug 11, 2018—Aug
12, 2018
The orthophoto or other base map on which the soil lines were
compiled and digitized probably differs from the background
imagery displayed on these maps. As a result, some minor
shifting of map unit boundaries may be evident.
