I. GENERAL LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
A. LOCATION
1. Vicinity Map
Figure 1 - Vicinity Map
2. The Flats at Hansen Farm project site is located in the northeast quarter of Section 7, Township 6
North, Range 69 West of the 6th Principal Meridian, City of Fort Collins, County of Larimer, State of
Colorado.
3. The project site (refer to Figure 1) is bordered to the north by Twisted Root Drive and single-family
residential; to the east by South Timberline Road; to the south by Zephyr Road and a future park
tract, and the west by an existing detention facility.
4. There is existing storm drainage infrastructure as part of the Hansen Farm subdivision supporting
these Tracts for development.
B. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
1. The Flats at Hansen Farm is comprised 10.4 acres.
2. The site is currently undeveloped tracts that were graded in consideration with the design of the
adjacent Hansen Farm subdivision.
3. The project site resides in the City of Fort Collins Fossil Creek Master Drainage Basin. The detention
requirements of the subject area were considered in the design of the detention ponds for the
Hansen Farm subdivision and have been factored into the LID requirements for The Flats at Hansen
Farm, which are described in further detail throughout this report.
4. The existing groundcover consists of short grasses over designed grades and detention ponds
installed for the drainage infrastructure of the Hansen Farm subdivision. The existing on-site runoff
generally drains from the Northwest to the Southeast across flat grades (e.g., 0.50% - 2.00%) to
South Timberline Road.
5. 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 primarily of Nunn clay loam (Hydrologic Soil Group C) and Caruso Clay loam

6. The Mail Creek Ditch and Williamson Ditch Lateral are significant irrigation channels located to the
North and Southwest of the project site respectively, but not directly adjacent to the site.
7. The proposed development will consist of eight (8) multi-family residential buildings containing
255 units with onsite and street parking, a community pool, and amenity areas.
8. The proposed land use is mixed
C. FLOODPLAIN
1. No portions of the site are located in a FEMA regulatory floodplain, according to the Hansen Overall
Development Plan.

3. No floodplain use permit will be required for this project.
4. A 50’ natural habitat buffer along the Mail Creek Ditch and the irrigation lateral to the south exists
on the site. All drainage improvements will be located outside this 50’ natural habitat buffer.
II. DRAINAGE BASINS AND SUB-BASINS
A. Major Basin Description
The project area of The Flats at Hansen Farm is located within the City of Fort Collins Fossil Creek
Master Drainage Basin. Detention requirements for this basin are to detain the difference between
the 100-yr developed inflow rate and the historic 2-year release rate. However, outflow from this
property is limited by an existing outfall ditch, located on the southern property line of The Timbers
subdivision, to The Timbers.
B. Sub-Basin Description
1. The outfall for the project site is South Timberline Road along the East edge, which eventually
conveys runoff to Fossil Creek Reservoir, approximately ¼ mile to the south.
2. The existing subject site can be defined with 8 distinct drainage basins (see DR1 in the provided
map pocket).
3. The existing site runoff generally drains from Northwest to Southeast onto South Timberline Road.
4. The project area receives no offsite runoff as a deliberate design aspect of the Overall Hansen
Development Plan.
III. DRAINAGE DESIGN CRITERIA
A. OPTIONAL PROVISIONS
There are no optional provisions outside of the FCSCM proposed with The Flats at Hansen Farm.
B. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT STRATEGY
The overall stormwater management strategy employed with The Flats at Hansen Farm 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. The first consideration taken in trying to reduce the
stormwater impacts of this development is the site selection itself. By choosing an already
developed site with public storm sewer currently in place, the burden is significantly less than
developing a vacant parcel absent of any infrastructure.
The Flats at Hansen Farm aims to reduce runoff peaks, volumes and pollutant loads from
frequently occurring storm events (i.e., water quality (i.e., 80th percentile) and 2-year storm events)
by implementing Low Impact Development (LID) strategies. Wherever practical, runoff will be
routed across landscaped areas or through a rain garden or water quality pond. These LID practices
reduce the overall amount of impervious area, while at the same time Minimizing Directly
Connected Impervious Areas (MDCIA). The combined LID/MDCIA techniques will be implemented,
where practical, throughout the development, thereby slowing runoff and increasing opportunities
for infiltration.
Step 2 – Implement BMPs that Provide a Water Quality Capture Volume (WQCV) with Slow
Release. The efforts taken in Step 1 will help to minimize excess runoff from frequently occurring
storm events; however, urban development of this intensity will still have stormwater runoff
leaving the site. The primary water quality treatment will occur between several rain gardens
between major parking areas of the property and the existing detention ponds installed for the
Hansen Farm Subdivision.
Step 3 – Stabilize Drainageways. While not directly applicable to this site, the project will pay
one-time stormwater development fees as well as ongoing monthly stormwater utility fees, both of
NORTHERNENGINEERING.COM | 970.221.4158

which help achieve citywide drainageway stability.
Step 4 – Implement Site Specific and Other Source Control BMPs. This step typically applies to
industrial and commercial developments.
C. DEVELOPMENT CRITERIA REFERENCE AND CONSTRAINTS
1. The subject property is part of the Hansen Overall Development Plan (ODP).
2. The project area is constrained on all sides by public streets, with the exception of the south edge
and the west half of the north edge, which are constrained by existing single-family lots.
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 Flats at Hansen
Farm development. Tabulated data contained in Table 3.4-1 has been utilized for Rational Method
runoff calculations.
2. The Rational Method has been used to estimate peak developed stormwater runoff from drainage
basins within the developed site for the 2-year, 10-year, and 100-year design storms. Peak runoff
discharges determined using this methodology have been used to check the street capacities,
inlets, swales, and storm drain lines.
3. 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-year recurrence interval. The second
event considered is the “Major Storm,” which has a 100-year recurrence interval.
E. HYDRAULIC CRITERIA
1. The drainage facilities proposed with The Flats at Hansen Farm project are designed in accordance
with criteria outlined in the FCSCM.
2. As stated in Section I.C.1, above, the subject property is not located next to a FEMA designated
floodplain, nor is it located within any identified floodplain limits.
F. FLOODPLAIN REGULATIONS COMPLIANCE
As previously mentioned, this project is not adjacent to a FEMA regulated floodplain and as such, it
will not be subject to any floodplain regulations.
G. MODIFICATIONS OF CRITERIA
There are no formal modifications outside of the FCSCM proposed with The Flats at Hansen Farm.
H. CONFORMANCE WITH WATER QUALITY TREATMENT CRITERIA
City Code requires that 75% of runoff from impervious surfaces in a project site shall receive some
sort of water quality treatment, of which a majority of the site is receiving. There are several small
areas that flow directly offsite, without treatment. While these small areas will not receive formal
water quality treatment, most areas will still see some treatment as runoff is directed through the
landscaped areas or across the landscaped parkways before reaching the roadway curb and gutter.
I. CONFORMANCE WITH LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT (LID)
The project site will conform with the requirement to treat a minimum of 75% of the project site
using a LID technique. The proposed project site will treat 88% of the site with LID, with small
portions of the site flowing directly offsite. 5 rain gardens will be used to capture and treat most of
the impervious area on the project site.

J. SIZING OF LID & WQ FACILITIES
Rain Gardens/Underground Chambers
1. The rain gardens were sized by first determining the required water quality capture volume (WQCV)
for Sub-basins A, B, C, D, and E for the rain gardens. A 12-hour drain time was used in this
calculation.
2. Once the WQCV was identified, each rain garden area was sized for its respective WQCV. The rain
gardens will be constructed with a biomedia filter and underdrain. An overflow drain will be
provided in each rain garden and weir for chambers to pass storms greater than the WQCV.

IV. DRAINAGE FACILITY DESIGN
A. GENERAL CONCEPT
1. The main objective of The Flats at Hansen Farm drainage design is to maintain existing drainage
patterns, while not adversely impacting adjacent properties.
2. All storm drains on the site have been designed to convey 100-yr flows.
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. Drainage for the project site has been analyzed using 14 onsite drainage sub- basins, designated as
sub-basins A-E and O1-O7. Sub-basins O1-O7 do not go to onsite rain gardens or detention ponds.
Sub-basins A, B, C, C1, O1, O2, and O3 make up the west side while sub-basins D, D1, E, O4-O7 make
up the east side. The Sub-basins are discussed in further detail below.
Sub-Basin A
Sub-basin A is comprised of multi-family residential, asphalt drives and parking, and landscaped
areas. Rain Garden A is located in Sub-Basin A and serves as the sole method of treating this basin
for LID. The flows from this basin travel via overland flow, curb and gutter, and storm pipe to Rain
Garden A. From Rain Garden A, flows are discharged into existing Detention Pond 1, proposed with
Hansen Farm.
Sub-Basin B
Sub-Basin B is composed of multi-family residential, asphalt drives and parking, and small

FORT COLLINS | GREELEY
PRELIMINARY DRAINAGE REPORT: THE FLATS AT HANSEN FARM
9 | 11
landscaped areas. Sub-Basin B also contains Rain Garden B, which serves to treat the sub-basin for
LID. Flows travel via overland flow, and curb and gutter to Rain Garden B, before being discharged
into Detention Pond 1.
Sub-Basins C & C1
Sub-Basins C & C1 contains asphalt drives and parking and small portions of multi-family
residential as well as the clubhouse, pool, and Rain Garden C. Rain Garden C will treat Sub-Basins C
and C1 for LID. Flows from these sub-basins travel via overland flow, curb and gutter, and storm
pipe to Rain Garden C. Rain Garden C then discharges though storm pipes to the east where it
ultimately goes to Detention Pond 3.
Sub-Basins D & D1
Sub-Basins D & D1 are comprised of multi-family residential, asphalt drives and parking, and
landscaped areas. Sub-Basin D contains Detention Pond 3 and Rain Garden D. Detention Pond 3
was previously proposed with Hansen Farm but is being modified to better suit the needs of the
proposed site. Rain Garden D will treat the entirety of Sub-Basin D1 for LID. Sub-Basin D will not be
treated for LID.
Sub-Basin E
Sub-Basin E is composed of multi-family residential, asphalt drives and parking, and landscaped
areas. Sub-Basin E also contains Rain Garden E, which treats this sub-basin for LID.
Sub-Basins O1-O7
Sub-Basins O1-O7 are not treated for LID and flow directly offsite. Sub-Basin O1 flows via overland
flow to existing Detention Pond 1. Sub-Basin O2 flows onto Knobby Pine Drive via curb and gutter
and is then directed east towards an existing inlet and storm pipe that route flows to Detention
Pond 3. Sub-Basin O3 flows via overland flow onto Burly Tree Drive where it is directed north to an
existing inlet and storm pipe that carry these flows to existing Detention Pond 2. Sub-Basin O4 flow
via overland flow and curb and gutter to Burly Tree Drive and is then routed north to an existing
inlet and storm pipe that route flows to Detention Pond 3. Sub-Basin O5 flows directly onto Twisted
Root Drive where existing inlets and storm take these flows to existing Detention Pond 2. Knobby
Pine Drive also serves as the collection point for Sub-Basin O6 where flows are collected by an
existing inlet and storm pipe that carry flows to existing Detention Pond 4. Lastly, Sub-Basin O7
flows via overland flow to Timberline Road where they are collected by an existing inlet and
directed into Detention Pond 3.
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. There are no new detention ponds being proposed with this development. Previously constructed
ponds will detain up to the 100-yr storm event and release at or below the calculated release rate.
Detention Pond 3 will capture a large portion of the site runoff, as was previously planned.
Considering the percent impervious values are less than what was assumed for this area, Detention
Pond 3 should be adequate to capture and treat the runoff going to it. Modifications, however, were
made to this pond in order to lessen the impact that earthwork had on the rest of the site. A SWMM
model was created with the previous Hansen Farm submittal to determine the detention volumes.
See Table 2 for detention summary.

Table 2 - Detention Summary
2. LID treatment is being provided within Rain Gardens A-E. These treat approximately 88% of the site
impervious runoff, which is more than the required 75% LID treatment. Please see the LID exhibit
and calculations in Appendix C.
3. Detention allowable release rate is based on computed 2-year historic flow for the overall property
as proposed with the Hansen Farm development plan.
4. Stormwater facility Standard Operations Procedures (SOP) will be provided by the City of Fort
Collins in the Development Agreement.
5. Preliminary Design details, and construction documentation shall be provided to the City of Fort
Collins for review prior to Preliminary Development Plan approval.
V. CONCLUSIONS
A. COMPLIANCE WITH STANDARDS
1. The drainage design proposed with The Flats at Hansen Farm complies with the City of Fort Collins
Master Drainage Plan for the Spring Creek and Canal Importation Basins.
2. The drainage plan and stormwater management measures proposed with The Flats at Hansen
Farm project are compliant with all applicable State and Federal regulations governing stormwater
discharge.
B. DRAINAGE CONCEPT
1. The drainage plan and stormwater management measures proposed with The Flats at Hansen
Farm project are compliant with all applicable State and Federal regulations governing stormwater
discharge.
2. The Flats at Hansen Farm will not impact the Master Drainage Plan recommendations for the City of
Fort Collins Fossil Creek Major Drainage Basin.
3. The proposed drainage plan for the Flats at Hansen Farm complies with the previously proposed
impervious values for the site from the Hansen Farm plan dated August 26, 2020. For this reason, it
is believed the previous infrastructure constructed with Hansen Farm will continue to be sufficient
as this portion of the site is developed. Th impervious values for the newly developed site are less
than what was anticipated with the Hansen Farm proposal.

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,
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 Information for All Uses
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 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
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.
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.
30
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.

Warning: Soil Map may not be valid at this scale.
Enlargement of maps beyond the scale of mapping can cause
misunderstanding of the detail of mapping and accuracy of soil
line placement. The maps do not show the small areas of
contrasting soils that could have been shown at a more detailed
scale.
Please rely on the bar scale on each map sheet for map
measurements.

Coordinate System: Web Mercator (EPSG:3857)
Maps from the Web Soil Survey are based on the Web Mercator
projection, which preserves direction and shape but distorts
distance and area. A projection that preserves area, such as the
Albers equal-area conic projection, should be used if more
accurate calculations of distance or area are required.

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.
