GENERAL LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION
A. LOCATION
Vicinity Map
The Gateway Apartments project site is located in the southeast quarter of Section 16, Township
7 North, Range 68 West of the 6th Principal Meridian, City of Fort Collins, County of Larimer, State
of Colorado.
The project site (refer to Figure 1) is bordered to the north by future single-family residential tract
within the Gateway at Prospect development area; to the south by Prospect Road; to the east by
Boxelder Creek; and to the west by an existing single-family residential area.
Boxelder Creek and the Boxelder Creek 100-yr overflow channel run north to south along the
eastern boundary adjacent to the project site.
B. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
The Gateway Apartments are comprised of ±12.49 acres.
The site is currently vacant irrigated agricultural land with future proposed backbone
infrastructure being designed with the Gateway at Prospect BDR Project. Backbone infrastructure
Figure 1 – Vicinity Map
NORTHERNENGINEERING.COM | 970.221.4158 FINAL DRAINAGE REPORT: GATEWAY APARTMENTS
FORT COLLINS | GREELEY 2 | 11
will be installed prior to or concurrent with this project includes surrounding connector roads,
Frontage Road improvements, utilities and detention ponds.
The existing groundcover consists of cultivated corn field, grasses, and gravel. The existing on-site
runoff generally drains from the north-to-south across flat grades (e.g., <2.00%) into Boxelder
Creek and the 100-yr Boxelder Creek overflow channel. From there, the drainage continues
through the channel, and ultimately discharging to the Cache La Poudre River.
According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation
Service (NRCS) Soil Survey, a majority of the project site consists of Nunn clay loam and Satanta
Variant clay loam which fall into Hydrologic Soil Groups C-D.
Boxelder Creek is the only major drainageway within or adjacent to the project site with the
exception of remnants of the historic Cooper Slough which exists just off-site to the west.
The proposed development will consist of nine multi-family buildings containing a total of 276
units. Other proposed improvements include new asphalt drive aisles, new sidewalks and new
landscaping, a clubhouse with pool and a dog park.
The proposed land use is Medium Density Residential. This is a permitted use in the Medium-
Density Mixed-Use Neighborhood District (MMN).

DRAIN BASINS AND SUB-BASINS
A. MAJOR BASIN DESCRIPTION
1. The Gateway Apartments project is located within the Boxelder Creek/Cooper Slough Basin.
Boxelder Creek/Cooper slough Basin encompasses 265 square miles beginning north of the
Colorado/Wyoming border and extending southward into east Fort Collins, ending at the Cache La
Poudre River.
2. Improvements along the Boxelder Creek were recently constructed and detailed in the LOMR case
number 17-08-1354P. A 100-year overflow channel and box culverts under Prospect Road were
constructed as a part of that project.
3. Backbone Infrastructure improvements along Boxelder Creek including regional trail grading, a
bridge crossing of Boxelder Creek and detention pond grading and outfalls needed to detain and
treat runoff from the Gateway Apartments are currently under review. Jacobs prepared a CLOMR
for “Boxelder Creek at Gateway at Prospect” which is currently under review and will need
approval from FEMA and City of Fort Collins prior to approval of Gateway Apartments.
B. SUB-BASIN DESCRIPTION
The project site has two outfall locations. The northern half of the site will outfall to Boxelder
Creek and the southern half will out fall to the Boxelder Creek Overflow Channel.
The existing subject site drainage has been master-planned by the Gateway at Prospect
backbone infrastructure project. The existing condition shall hence be referred to as the
proposed master planned condition as described in the Final Drainage Report for Gateway at
Prospect dated August 24th, 2022.
The Gateway Apartments project resides in two master planned drainage basins, Basin E and
Basin F. These basins are further divided into seven sub-basins.
The master planned Basins E1-E2 generally flow south towards Detention Pond E. Existing Basins
F1-F5 generally drain east towards Detention Basin F.
The project site does not receive notable runoff from contiguous off-site properties.
DRAINAGE DESIGN CRITERIA
A. OPTIONAL PROVISIONS
Gateway Apartments will show compliance with the previous report which utilized full spectrum for
detention and traditional 40-hour water quality treatment for the site. The use of full spectrum
detention is a variance from the City stormwater criteria, but was approved for use with the Gateway
backbone infrastructure project.
B. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT STRATEGY
The overall stormwater management strategy employed with Gateway Apartments 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. Gateway Apartments will be reducing runoff by 10%
of the historic value via full spectrum. Full spectrum detention is designed to address two limitations
of traditional detention. First, it is focused on controlling peak discharges over the full spectrum of
runoff events from small, frequent storms up to the 100-year storm event. Second, full spectrum
detention facilities produce outflow hydrographs that, other than a small release rate of the excess
NORTHERNENGINEERING.COM | 970.221.4158 FINAL DRAINAGE REPORT: GATEWAY APARTMENTS
FORT COLLINS | GREELEY 5 | 11
urban runoff volume (EURV), replicate the shape of predevelopment hydrographs. Full spectrum
detention modeling shows a reduction of urban runoff peaks to levels similar to predevelopment
conditions over an entire watershed, even multiple independent detention facilities. For a thorough,
in-depth explanation of full spectrum, please refer to Volume 2, Chapter 12 of the Urban Drainage
Stormwater Criteria Manual published by the Mile High Flood District.
Gateway Apartments 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 an infiltration gallery. 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 in the underground vaults located near the
center and towards the east end of the project. Rain Gardens will be utilized as a second water quality
treatment BMP located towards the south end of the site. In addition to LID treatment, traditional
water quality treatment will be provided within the lower stages of the detention ponds.
Step 3 – Stabilize Drainageways. As stated in Section I.B.5, above, the Boxelder Creek drainage is
adjacent to the subject site and Gateway Apartments proposes to limit the amount of disturbance to
Boxelder Creek. With the previously mentioned backbone infrastructure project doing most of the
work required on the streambank for the future City of Fort Collins Regional Trail, storm outfalls and
detention areas, Gateway Apartments will have minimal to the streambank. The Gateway Apartments
project aims to protect the existing Boxelder Creek by limiting any increases beyond historical flow
rates within the creek. By utilizing a combination of full spectrum detention and the resulting “beat
the peak” model, the peak discharge from the Gateway Apartments project will be passed before the
peak of the creek. As such, the peak discharge from the Gateway Apartments project will not be
compounded with peak flow in the creek. Furthermore, this project will pay a one-time stormwater
development fee, as well as ongoing monthly utility fess, both of which help achieve citywide
drainage 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
The subject property is part of the master-planned drainage plan set by the Gateway at Prospect
backbone infrastructure project.
The site plan is constrained on the north and west by connector streets, on the east side by
Detention Pond F and future City of Fort Collins Regional Trail and on to the south by Detention
Pond E all as designed with the Gateway at Prospect project.
D. HYDROLOGICAL CRITERIA
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 Gateway
NORTHERNENGINEERING.COM | 970.221.4158 FINAL DRAINAGE REPORT: GATEWAY APARTMENTS
FORT COLLINS | GREELEY 6 | 11
Apartments development. Tabulated data contained in Table 3.4-1 has been utilized for Rational
Method runoff calculations.
The Rational Method has been employed to compute stormwater runoff utilizing coefficients
contained in Tables 4.1-2 and 4.1-3 of the FCSCM.
Full spectrum detention has been utilized for detention storage calculations.
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
The drainage facilities proposed with the Gateway Apartments project are designed in
accordance with criteria outlined in the Mile High Flood District’s “Urban Storm Drainage Criteria
Manual” (UDFCD) and Fort Collins Stormwater Criteria Manual (FCSCM).
As stated in Section I.C.1, above, the subject property is located next to a FEMA designated
floodplain.
F. FLOODPLAIN REGULATIONS COMPLIANCE
As previously mentioned, this project is adjacent to a FEMA regulated floodplain with pending
CLOMR/LOMR application. No occupied structures are being proposed within the revised
floodplain however, Detention Pond F will remain in the revised floodplain. Storm outfalls which
are proposed with the Gateway at Prospect project will be located within the floodplain and
floodway, and that work will be subject to the applicable floodplain regulations. Construction of
these outfalls are not a part of the Gateway Apartments project. Any grading within the floodplain
will be subject to applicable floodplain regulations.
Despite most of the project not being located within the floodplain, consideration has been given
to the floodplain elevations as they relate to the proposed buildings and the finished floors,
garages, and HVAC have been elevated accordingly.
G. MODIFICATIONS OF CRITERIA
Gateway Apartments will be following the requirements as set forth in the Final Drainage Report for
Gateway at Prospect and will be utilizing full spectrum detention as laid out by the Mile High Flood
Control District as a variance from for the Fort Collins Stormwater Criteria detention requirements.
H. CONFORMANCE WITH WATER QUALITY TREATMENT CRITERIA
City Code requires that 100% of runoff from a project site receive some sort of water quality
treatment. This project proposes to provide water quality treatment through the use of Bioretention
(aka - Rain Garden located within Basin E) and two separate underground infiltration galleries (aka –
underground chambers located under the drive aisles within Basin F). Both Detention Ponds E and F
utilize full Spectrum Detention which will provide standard water quality treatment within the lower
stages. Through these methods 100% of the on-site area will be treated for water quality.
I. CONFORMANCE WITH LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT (LID)
The project site will conform with the requirement to treat a minimum of 75% of the proposed
impervious surfaces using a LID technique. Please see Appendix C for LID design information, table,
and exhibit(s). As shown in the LID table provided in the appendix, 77% of the proposed site
impervious area will receive LID treatment, which exceeds the minimum required. On-site LID
NORTHERNENGINEERING.COM | 970.221.4158 FINAL DRAINAGE REPORT: GATEWAY APARTMENTS
FORT COLLINS | GREELEY 7 | 11
treatment does include treatment for the adjacent roads to the project as required by the Final
Drainage Report for Gateway at Prospect.
J. SIZING OF LID FACILITIES
Infiltration Gallery
The Infiltration Galleries were sized by first determining the required water quality capture
volume (WQCV) for the contributing Basins. A 12-hour drain time was used in this calculation.
Once the WQCV was identified, the minimum number of vaults needed to achieve the minimum
WQCV was calculated. This volume includes the adjacent aggregates
As a result of all underground vaults being wrapped in a geofabric and the potential constriction
of flows that could result from sedimentation in the fabric, the total release rate through the
fabric was calculated. This rate was determined by multiplying the vault bottom square footage x
0.35 gpm (manufacturer’s estimated infiltration rate of fabric).
A volume calculation utilizing the WQ flow rate into the chamber and the calculated release rate
through the fabric was completed. The number of chambers has been increased as needed to
confirm that the resulting volume is provided within the empty volume of the underground
chambers. This is intended to ensure that the chambers do not become overwhelmed in the
water quality storm event before “discharging” flows into the surrounding aggregates.
DRAINAGE FACILITY DESIGN
A. GENERAL CONCEPT
The main objective of the Gateway Apartments drainage design is to maintain existing drainage
patterns, while not adversely impacting adjacent properties.
There are small offsite flows that pass through the site originating from the three adjacent streets
proposed with the Gateway at Prospect backbone infrastructure. Generally, these flows consist of
half- right-of-ways of connector streets. Gateway Apartments will be responsible for the LID
treatment and water quality of these offsite basins in conformance with the Gateway at Prospect
drainage report.
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.
Drainage for the project site has been analyzed using seventeen (17) drainage sub-basins,
designated as sub-basins E1.1-E1.4, E2, F1.1-F1.8, F2, F3, F4 and F5. The drainage patterns
anticipated for the basins are further described below.

B. SPECIFIC DETAILS
Gateway Apartments is located near the end of the Boxelder Creek/Cooper Slough Basin and will
be discharging into Boxelder Creek. In order to “beat the peak”, full spectrum detention was
utilized to size the final detention ponds.
Gateway Apartments proposed providing 100-year detention, detaining the EURV, and utilizing
extended detention for water quality in conformance with the final drainage report for Gateway
at Prospect.
Existing Storm line F which runs from Basin F5 to Detention Pond F was designed to convey the
100-yr storm flows from sub-basins F5 and F4. A new manhole installed near Stormtech
Chambers 1 will divert the water quality storm to the underground chambers and include a 100-yr
overflow weir for the 100-yr event.
The proposed combination inlet within Basin F2 on Street D has been sized for the 100-yr storm.
A manhole will be provided along the proposed storm line near Stormtech Chambers 2 which will
divert the water quality storm to the underground chambers and include a 100-yr overflow weir
for the 100-yr event. Landscape drains located adjacent to Building 5 have also been sized for the
100-yr event.

City of Fort Collins’ Stormwater Criteria Manual but does meet the Mile High Flood District Criteria
Manual. However, the City of Fort Collins has approved this variance from the detention
NORTHERNENGINEERING.COM | 970.221.4158 FINAL DRAINAGE REPORT: GATEWAY APARTMENTS
FORT COLLINS | GREELEY 11 | 11
standards set in the FCSCM. The proposed drainage design does comply with the requirements
set forth by the Final Drainage Report for Gateway at Prospect BDR.
The drainage design proposed with Gateway Apartments complies with the City of Fort Collins
Master Drainage Plan for the Boxelder Basin.
There are regulatory floodplains associated with the Gateway Apartments development.
The drainage plan and stormwater management measures proposed with the Gateway
Apartments project are compliant with all applicable State and Federal regulations governing
stormwater discharge.
B. DRAINAGE CONCEPT
The drainage design proposed with this project will effectively limit potential damage associated
with its stormwater runoff. Gateway Apartments utilized full spectrum detention as a mechanism
to “beat the peak” of Boxelder Creek.
The proposed Gateway Apartments development will not impact the Master Drainage Plan
recommendations for the Boxelder major drainage basin.

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.

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.

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.

Map Unit Descriptions (Gateway
Apartments)
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
Custom Soil Resource Report

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.
