Soils 195 is considered to have severe limitations to applications of agricultural manure effluent. <br /> It is recommended to reduce application rates and use split applications of manure effluent <br /> because contaminants can flow deep into the soil profile due to low retention of this soil. Note that <br /> applications of agricultural manure effluent improve available water capacity.4 <br /> Madera Soil: <br /> _ Depth of Soil Available Water Capacity Water in Soil <br /> (inches of water/inches of (inches) <br /> soil <br /> 0-10 0.11 1.10 <br /> 10-20 0.06 0.60 <br /> 20-60 -- <br /> Total Available Water <br /> Capacity: 1.7 <br /> Alamo Soil: <br /> Depth of Soil Available Water Capacity Water in Soil <br /> (inches of water/inches of (inches) <br /> soil) <br /> 0-12 0.115 1.38 <br /> 12-25 0.135 1.76 <br /> 25-34 0.135 1 .22 <br /> 34-60 -- <br /> Total Available Water <br /> Capacity: 4.36 <br /> • Dense layer (Bulk density), g/cc (grams/cubic centimeter): <br /> Bulk density, soil mass per unit volume, is expressed in grams per cubic centimeter. It affects <br /> infiltration, permeability and available water capacity. Course textured soils have a slight <br /> limitation because of bulk density. Medium to fine textured soils in which the bulk density in the <br /> surface layer and subsoil is less than 1.7g/cm3 have slight limitations for application of agricultural <br /> manure effluent. Medium to fine textured soils in which the bulk density in these layers is more <br /> than 1.7g/cm3 have moderate limitations.4 <br /> Soils at the site are considered to be <1.7 grams/cc, which classifies them as having a slight <br /> limitation to applications of agricultural manure effluent. It is recommended that applications of <br /> solids are when soil moisture content is such that the field is in tillable condition. Note that <br /> 4 <br /> applications of agricultural manure effluent reduce bulk density and minimize compaction. <br /> Refer to page 30 for Endnotes and Reference Sources <br /> Soil Suitability Study <br /> Property Name and Address: Frank Faria Dairy, Inc., 12182 S.
