• Soil testing can be used to determine HSG • HSG depends on: o Saturated hydraulic conductivity (K sat) o Depth to impermeable layer o Depth to seasonal high water table • The assignment of HSG “is determined by the water transmitting soil layer with the lowest saturated hydraulic conductivity and depth to any layer that is more or
Sep 10, 2024 · By describing basic soil morphology, such as soil color and texture, combined with the soils expected to be present based on work by the soil survey, the soil series that are present can be accurately determined. Two methods are presented below.
This document provides a descriptive method and a technical guide for applying and understanding geomorphic and geologic concepts and terms for soil inventory. Definitions, criteria, concepts, and operational guidelines presented here focus on soil inventory needs and applications.
This is a brief instructional tool on some of the basics of the Web Soil Survey website that is very helpful in determining soil types specifically related to the farmland preservation appraisal process, including septic compatibility, agricultural soil ratings (Prime, Statewide, etc.) and Hydric soils.
