inches. Returning organic matter to the soil is important for maintaining soil fertility an enhancing water permeabillty. Kimball loam (TDA), another prime agrlcuitural soil tvoe, is mapped in rather smal i narrow lenses along three edges of the property. One of the largest sections includes a portion of the woods, and extends east along the ftiokelu�ine River, including acreage formerly wooded and now scheduled for restoration. Kimball soils usually have a hardpan but are orten wall;(jralnj1. The main limitations of Kimball Soils are shallow depth, the very sl'pw pemeability rate of the subsoil, and the high shrink-swell potential ok the Ilayev subsoil. Cnly!two s all areas of Bruella sandy loam (DRA) are maooed on Buckeye Ranch. r e first area is a small lens in the eastern part of the property, south o and bordering the southern lake bed. The second, much larger unit is mapped along the western edge of Buckeye Ranch and extends inro the woods irn.two peninsular shaped sections. This is the area generally referred to as the old oxbows areas. The larger unit of Bruelia loam under Ifes a central portion of the proposed goir course. BrueI)a sandy loam (0 to 2 percent slopes) is derived from an alluvium formed from granitic rock sources. Bruella sandy foams are very deep, well drained soil; and Ppund on nearly level, low terraces. Bruella Solis have few ilmItat lons.lLand managers are advised, in the soli survey, to return organic residues to the stte...Again, to maintain fertility, reduce soli crusting, and maintain the water intakeIike all the soils on Buckeye Ranch, slow permeablift is ora limitation. San Joaqui I loam is mapped over half of Buckeye Ranch and consequently is th dominant soil type. San Joaquin loam Is designated as a non-prime 3. grfcul ural soil. Two types or San Joaquin loam are mapped on the property; JCA, with 0 to 2 percent slopes, and JC8, with 2 to 8 percent slopes. Since the Major difference between these two sol I types is percent slope, i will descr be their main attributes and limitations together. San Joaquin bolls are formed from alluvium derfved from granitic sources. The domi nt vegetation Is usually introduced annual grasses, (orbs, and sqattere d valley oaks. San Joaquin soils are often a complex of gently sloplr. hum nocks and depressions with minor drainages. Vernal Pools are ch ctet Istic or these soils and are formed in winter months. 3 4 Not su�pmslrgly, the permeability or San Joaquin Solis is quite slow Available water capacity is low and the shrink-swell potential Is high.
