Soil Suitability Study--APN: 229— 160—01--Parcel Nos. A and B; 11.53 & 10.71Acres, respectively-- 5 Careful application of irrigation water is needed to prevent build-up of a high water table. Ripping the hardpan improves permeability of the soil for septic tank absorbtion fields. The soil character at various depths below the ground surface is as follows: Depth Type Liquid- Plast*city Limit Index O" to 20" Fine Sandy Loam 20- 30 NP— 5 20"to 60" Stratified Loamy Sand 20-60 NP— 5 to Silty Loam Depth % Clay Density Permeability Shrink-Swell G/cc In./Hr. 0" to 15" 5 -16 1.55 — 1.65 2.0— 6.0 Low 15"to 54" 5 -16 1.50- 1.60 2.0 - 6.0 Low 54"to 70" --------- -------------- ------------ ----- NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY The soil in the northeast corner of the subject property is classified as Delhi Loamy Sand, 0 to 2 percent slope. This soil is very deep and somewhat excessively drained and nearly level on dunes. It is formed in wind-modified alluvium derived from granite rock sources. This soil is located at 25 to 35 feet elevation. The color and character of the soil at various depths below the ground surface is as follows: Depth Color and Type 0" to 16" Surface layer is grayish-brown and light brownish-gray loamy sand 16"to 26" Grayish-brown loamy sand. 26"to 60" Pale brown sand. Permeability is rapid in the Delhi Soil. The rate of water erosion on this soil is slight. This soil is utilized to grow irrigated crops, orchards and vineyards. A few areas are used for homesite development. The high percentage of sand in the soil reduces the amount of moisture available for plant growth. Chiseling of the subsoil breaks up the hardpan.
