r A Soil Suitability Study----APN: 209-310-30-- PA-30-315----Parcels 1 &2, 2&38 Acres Respectively Sacramento soils are especially well adapted to beets,tomatoes, corn and grain. This soil as good surface and imperfect subsurface permeability and is dark gray in color. Erosion is negligible and the soil lies on a nearly level slope less than 2% slope. Pescadero Clav The surface soil is dark gray in color and black when wet. The soil contains clay, I which breaks into large, hard dense blocks when dry. This soil does not exhibit the adobe structure�characteristics of many clays. The surface layer'is composed of 16.76% sand, 31.63 %silt and 52.61% clay, half of which is less than one micron in diameter and-has pH= 7.1 The upper subsoil, which is encountered at about a 12" depth, is very dark I colored, heavily textured and dense, breaking into large blocks by vertical cracking. There are streaks of segregated lime throughout this area. The pH= 8.0. The middle subsoil is gray clay with cloddy structure, colloidal staining and increasing lime. P The lower subsoil is lightly colored, contains more lime and is less dense. i� M The substratum which is encountered at about 56"is light, yellowish-brown, calcareous and friable. Drainage is poor in both surface and subsoil, This soil occurs only between the southern pacific railroad tracks and Old River, northwest of Tracy. Because of the poor drainage and salt content, this soil has a very poor graving value. I This soil experiences negligible erosion and has good surface and imperfect subsurface permeability and a Storie'Index rating of 31. The University of California publication entitled"Soils of San Joaquin County, California,United States Department of Agricultural Soil Conservation Service", issued October 1992, lists three soil series that may be encountered on the subject property. The three se��es listed are Willows ,Egbert and Dello.
