Morningstar/Block 23 Page 2 of 18
4. There is a 15” storm sewer, providing a drainage outlet for Old Town Flats,
bisecting the eastern half of the project site.
B. Description of Property
1. The Morningstar/Block 23 project site is comprised of ±3.24 acres.
2. A north-south public alley bisects the property into an eastern parcel and a
western parcel. The east half of the site is currently occupied by four abandoned
commercial buildings as well as various concrete and gravel parking areas. The
west half of the site is currently an undeveloped gravel lot. A portion of the
gravel lot is used to stockpile material by Burlington Northern Railroad during
maintenance activities for the railroad tracks.
1. The existing groundcover consists of weed-infested concrete and gravel parking
lots with limited landscaping in the northeast corner. The project site generally
drains from west to east across flat grades (e.g., <2.00%).
2. The west half, the alley, and portions of the east half of the existing runoff drains
radially inward towards an existing storm inlet located onsite. The outer ring of
the project site generally drains into the surrounding curb and gutter for Cherry
Street, Maple Street, and College Avenue. The entire site, both the existing storm
inlet and the surrounding streets, drain towards an existing type-R inlet located
Figure 2: Aerial Photograph
Preliminary Drainage Report May 20, 2020
Morningstar/Block 23 Page 3 of 18
within College Avenue in the northeast corner of the project. Ultimately, the
type-R inlet drains, via the Fort Collins storm sewer system, into the Cache La
Poudre River ±1,160 feet to the north.
3. According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural
Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Soil Survey website:
(http://websoilsurvey.nrcs.usda.gov/app/WebSoilSurvey.aspx),
the site consists primarily of Paoli fine sandy loam (Hydrologic Soil Group A).
4. There is a 15” storm sewer, providing a drainage outlet for Old Town Flats,
bisecting the eastern half of the project site. The Cache La Poudre River is
located ±1,160 feet north of the project site.
5. The proposed development will consist of long-term care facility, commercial
units, and a parking structure. The mixed-use building, consisting of long-term
facility and commercial units, will be located east of the alley. The parking
structure will be located west of the alley. Other proposed improvements
include: a new asphalt within the alley, landscaping planters, and new sidewalks
within the surrounding streets.
6. The proposed land use is mixed-use. This is a permitted use in the Downtown
District (D).
C. Floodplain
Figure 3: City Floodplains
Preliminary Drainage Report May 20, 2020
Morningstar/Block 23 Page 4 of 18
1. The subject property is not located in a FEMA or City regulatory floodplain. In
particular, the project site is not located within a FEMA designated 100-year
floodplain per Map Number 08069C0979H (Effective date: May 2, 2012).
II. Drainage Basins and Sub-Basins
A. Major Basin Description
Morningstar/Block 23 is located within the City of Fort Collins Old Town major
drainage basin. Specifically, the project site is situated in the north-central portion of
this major drainage basin. This basin is located in north-central Fort Collins, and it
has a drainage area of approximately 2,120 acres, including approximately 400 acres
of the Colorado State University Campus. The Old Town major drainage basin
generally drains from west to east. It receives some runoff from the Canal
Importation basin directly west of Old Town. Most of the runoff form the Old Town
major drainage basin drains into the Poudre River.
B. Sub-Basin Description
1. The outfall for the project site is an existing type-R inlet located in the northeast
corner of the site within College Avenue.
2. The existing subject site can be defined with fourteen (14) sub-basins that
encompasses the entire project site.
3. The existing site runoff generally drains from west to east into an existing type-R
inlet in College Avenue.
4. Old Town Flats, towards the southwest of the project, is the only significant off-
site source of stormwater that impacts the project. The outfall for Old Town Flats
bisects the eastern half of Morningstar/Block 23 in a 15” storm sewer discharging
into a type-R inlet in College Avenue located at the northeast corner of the
project site.
The developer will construct a new storm sewer to convey drainage from
Morningstar/Block 23 and Old Town Flats along the alley, Cherry Street, and
discharging into an existing single combination inlet at the intersection of Cherry
Street and College Avenue. The combination inlet in Cherry Street will need to
be reconstructed to accommodate the proposed pipe and site improvements.
Drainage will then travel in the City’s storm sewer system to the historic outfall
(the type-R inlet in College Avenue) for Morningstar/Block 23 and Old Town
Flats.
5. The onsite imperviousness, with tabulated historic versus proposed impervious
areas, is documented within Appendix A.

III. Drainage Design Criteria
A. Optional Provisions
There are no optional provisions outside of the FCSCM proposed with Morningstar/
Block 23.
B. Stormwater Management Strategy
The overall stormwater management strategy employed with Morningstar/Block 23
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 Morningstar/Block 23 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 at the south end of the
project.
Step 3 – Stabilize Drainageways. While this step may not seem applicable to
Morningstar/Block 23, the proposed project indirectly helps achieve stabilized
drainageways, nonetheless. Once again, site selection has a positive effect on stream
stabilization. By developing an infill site with existing stormwater infrastructure,
combined with LID and MDCIA strategies, the likelihood of bed and bank erosion is
reduced. Furthermore, this project will pay one-time stormwater development fees,
as well as ongoing monthly stormwater utility fees, both of which help achieve
Citywide drainageway stability.
Preliminary Drainage Report May 20, 2020
Morningstar/Block 23 Page 6 of 18
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 not part of any Overall Development Plan (ODP)
drainage study or similar “development/project” drainage master plan.
2. The site plan is constrained on all sides by either a public street, a railroad, or
existing development. The northeast corner of the project site is the intersection
of College Avenue and Cherry Street. This intersection includes a level railway
junction between the Burlington Northern Railroad, Great Western Railroad, and
US Highway 287. The southeast corner of the project is the junction of US
Highway 287 and Colorado State Highway 14.
3. The existing inlets in College Avenue (a combination and a type-R inlet) will
function as the ultimate outfall for the project site.
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 Morningstar/Block 23 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
coefficients contained in Tables 3.2-1 and 3-.2-2 of the FCSCM.
3. The Rational Formula-based Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) procedure
was utilized for detention storage calculations.
4. Two separate design storms have been utilized to address distinct drainage
scenarios. The first event analyzed is the “Minor,” or “Initial” Storm, which has a
2-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 Morningstar/Block 23 project are designed
in accordance with criteria outlined in the FCSCM and/or the Urban Drainage
and Flood Control District’s Urban Storm Drainage Criteria Manual. Urban
Drainage Flood Control District recently changed their name to Mile High Flood
District (MHFD).
Preliminary Drainage Report May 20, 2020
Morningstar/Block 23 Page 7 of 18
2. As stated in Section I.C.1, above, the subject property is not located within a
FEMA or City floodplain limits.
F. Floodplain Regulations Compliance
1. The project is located outside of a FEMA or City floodplain, and as such, it will
not be subject to any floodplain regulations.
2. Despite 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 have been elevated accordingly.
G. Modifications of Criteria
No formal modifications are requested at this time.
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 an underground infiltration gallery (aka – underground chambers) located
midway on the east side of the alley, a sand filter and detention vault within the
project structure, and planter boxes constructed to provide the City of Fort Collins
biomedia soil section. The chambers, sand filter vault, and biomedia planter boxes
are considered a LID treatment method. Due to the physical constraints associated
with an infill project of this nature and the prohibition of providing water quality
facilities within the public right-of-way, there are some small, narrow areas around
the perimeter of the project that cannot be captured. The uncaptured areas tend to be
narrow strips of concrete flatwork that link the building entrances to the public
sidewalks as well as small planter beds between the building and public sidewalks
or property lines.
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. Please see Appendix C for LID design
information, table, and exhibit(s). As shown in the LID table provided in the
appendix, 97.4% of the proposed site impervious area will receive LID treatment,
which exceeds the minimum required.

J. Sizing of LID Facilities
Infiltration Gallery & Planter Boxes
1. The Infiltration Gallery was sized by first determining the required water quality
capture volume (WQCV) for Basins E1 - E5. A 12-hour drain time was used in
this calculation.
2. The WQCV for the Infiltration Gallery was then reduced by the available volume
in the planter boxes. Per FCSM requirements for rain gardens, the planter boxes
will be capable of treating a WQCV for a depth of 1 foot.
3. Once the WQCV was identified, the minimum number of vaults needed to
achieve the minimum WQCV was calculated. This volume includes the adjacent
aggregates
4. 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.
5. 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.
Sand Filter Vault
1. The sand filter vault was sized by first determining the required water quality
capture volume (WQCV) for Basins W1 – W4. A 12-hour drain time was used in
this calculation.
K. General Concept
1. The main objective of Morningstar/Block 23 drainage design is to maintain
existing drainage patterns, while not adversely impacting adjacent properties.
2. The outfall for Old Town Flats passes through the project site. This outfall will
be re-routed, along with stormwater from Morningstar/Block 23, into a new
storm sewer within the alley and Cherry Street, and discharging into an existing
single combination inlet at the intersection of Cherry Street and College Avenue.
Drainage will then travel in the City’s storm sewer system to the historic outfall
(the type-R inlet in College Avenue) for Morningstar/Block 23 and Old Town
Flats.

L. Specific Details
1. The developer will construct two onsite detention facilities for the project. An
underground chamber system and planters will be used to provide the required
detention storage, water quality, and LID treatment for the east half of the site.
The planters will utilize the City of Fort Collins biomedia specifications for a rain
garden to provide LID and water quality treatment. An isolator row, an
underground chamber row wrapped in filter fabric, will provide additional
water quality and LID treatment. The remaining underground chambers will
provide the required detention volume.
2. A detention pond and sand filter vault system, located within the parking
garage, will provide the water quality and detention storage for the west half of
the site.
3. A chamber detention system will provide 925 ft3 of detention with a release rate
of 14.28 cfs for the east half of the site. A detention pond and sand filter will
provide 1,366 ft3 of detention with a release rate of 3.42 cfs for the west half of the
site. See sections IV.B.4 and IV.B.5, below, for further discussion on the release
rate used to determine the required detention volumes.

Table 3: Detention and Water Quality Volumes
4. A total combined release rate of 14.28 cfs was determined for the proposed
detention facilities on the east parcel. This release rate was determined based on
the methodology utilized for previous projects in Fort Collins with a high
historic impervious area (approved Final Drainage Reports for “Scott Plaza” and
“Union on Elizabeth”). The methodology accounts for impervious area allowed
to be “grandfathered”. There is 1.52 acres (66,085 ft2) of impervious area within
the east half of the development site that drains towards the intersection of
Cherry Street and College Avenue. A 100-year discharge from this impervious
area was calculated to 14.26 cfs. There is 0.23 acres (9,926 ft2) of pervious area
within the eastern half of the development site which also drains to the
intersection of Cherry Street and College Avenue. A 2-year discharge from the
pervious area of 0.02 cfs was calculated. The sum of “grandfathered” impervious
area discharge and the 2-year pervious area discharge is 14.28 cfs for the east half
Preliminary Drainage Report May 20, 2020
Morningstar/Block 23 Page 14 of 18
of the project site. The 14.28 cfs is considered as the allowable peak release rate
for the eastern half of the site.
5. A similar methodology, as described above, was used for the west half (parking
garage) side of the site. Because the west half of the site consists entirely of a
gravel lot, there was no 2-year historic pervious area to calculate. There is 0.35
acres (15,234 ft2) of impervious area within the west half of the development site
that drains towards the alley. A 100-year discharge from this “grandfathered”
impervious area was calculated to 3.42 cfs. The 3.42 cfs is considered as the
allowable peak release rate for the western half of the site.
6. The FAA method was used to size the on-site detention volume.
M. Sizing of LID Facilities
Infiltration Gallery & Planter Boxes
The Infiltration Gallery was sized by first determining the required water quality
capture volume (WQCV) for Basins E1 - E5. A 12-hour drain time was used in this
calculation.
The WQCV for the Infiltration Gallery was then reduced by the available volume in
the planter boxes. Per FCSM requirements for rain gardens, the planter boxes will be
capable of treating a WQCV for a depth of 1 foot.
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.
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.
Sand Filter Vault
The sand filter vault was sized by first determining the required water quality
capture volume (WQCV) for Basins W1 – W4. A 12-hour drain time was used in this
calculation.

IV. Conclusions
A. Compliance with Standards
1. The design elements comply without variation and meet all LID requirements.
2. The drainage design proposed with Morningstar/Block 23 complies with the City
of Fort Collins Master Drainage Plan for the Old Town Basin.
3. There are no FEMA regulatory floodplains associated with Morningstar/Block 23
development.
4. The drainage plan and stormwater management measures proposed with
Morningstar/Block 23 project are compliant with all applicable State and Federal
regulations governing stormwater discharge.
B. Drainage Concept
1. The drainage design proposed with this project will effectively limit potential
damage associated with its stormwater runoff. Morningstar/Block 23 will detain
for existing pervious area converted to impervious areas at the 2-year existing
release rate.

Erosion Control Report
A comprehensive Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (along with associated details) has been
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 and/or wattles 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 Sheet CS2 of the Utility Plans. The Final
Utility Plans will also contain a full-size Erosion Control Plan as well as a separate sheet
dedicated to Erosion Control Details. In addition to this report and the referenced plan sheets,
the Contractor shall be aware of, and adhere to, the applicable requirements outlined in any
existing Development Agreement(s) of record, as well as the Development Agreement, to be
recorded prior to issuance of the Development Construction Permit. Also, the Site Contractor
for this project may be required to secure a Stormwater Construction General Permit from the
Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), Water Quality Control
Division – Stormwater Program, before commencing any earth disturbing activities. Prior to
securing said permit, the Site Contractor shall develop a comprehensive Storm Water
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
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 Erosion Factors
Soil Erosion Factors are soil properties and interpretations used in evaluating the
soil for potential erosion. Example soil erosion factors can include K factor for the
whole soil or on a rock free basis, T factor, wind erodibility group and wind erodibility
index.
K Factor, Whole Soil
Erosion factor K indicates the susceptibility of a soil to sheet and rill erosion by
water. Factor K is one of six factors used in the Universal Soil Loss Equation
(USLE) and the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) to predict the
average annual rate of soil loss by sheet and rill erosion in tons per acre per year.
The estimates are based primarily on percentage of silt, sand, and organic matter
and on soil structure and saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat). Values of K range
from 0.02 to 0.69. Other factors being equal, the higher the value, the more
susceptible the soil is to sheet and rill erosion by water.
"Erosion factor Kw (whole soil)" indicates the erodibility of the whole soil. The
estimates are modified by the presence of rock fragments.

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.
Custom Soil Resource Report
18
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

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.
