Soil type#220: Thisi.._,ie majority of the soil of the facility. Name:Redding gravely loam,2 to 8%slopes. This soil is moderately well drained. It is moderately deep to a hardpan.The upper part of the surface layer is strong brown gravely loam about 7 inches thick. The lower part is reddish yellow gravely loam aboui 9 inches hick, The upper part of the subsoil is a claypan of reddish brown clay about 5-6 inches thick.The lower part to a depth of 60 inches is a reddish yellow and yellowish red, indurated hardpan. In some areas the surface layer is gravely sandy loam,cobbly loam,or loam. Permeability is very slow in the Redding soil.Available water capacity is very low.The shrink-swell potential is high. The effective rooting depth is limited by the hardpan at a depth of 20 to 40 inches. Roots are restricted to cracks and the faces of peds in the claypan,which is at a depth of 16 to 22 inches. Water is briefly perched above the claypan after periods of heavy rainfall or irrigation. Runoff is slow or medium,and the hazard of water erosion is slight or moderate.The rate of water intake in irrigated areas is 1.5 inches per hour. The main limitation is very low available water capacity. Soil type#236: This is the third greatest quantity of the soil of the facility. It is located at the south west portion of the site and completely with in the field that borders the dairy facility to the south. Name: San Joaquin sandy loam,0 to 2%slopes. This moderately well drained,nearly level soil is on terraces. It is moderately deep to a hardpan. Typically,the surface layer is brown sandy loam about 13 inches thick. The upper part of the subsoil is a claypan of brown clay about 7 inches thick. The lower part to a depth of 60 inches is a brown and light brown, indurated hardpan. In some areas the surface layer is fine sandy loam, loam,or gravely sandy loam. Permeability is very slow in the San Joaquin soil.Available water capacity is very low. The shrink- swell potential is high. The effective rooting depth is limited by the hardpan at a depth of 20 to 40 inches. Roots are restricted to cracks and the faxes of pods in the claypan, which is at a depth of 10 to 20 inches. Water is briefly perched above the claypan and hardpan after periods of heavy rainfall or irrigation.The rate of water intake in irrigated areas is 1.5 inches per hour. Soil type#102:This soil represents a•small island with in the soil type 4237. I Name:Alamo clay,0 to 2%slopes. I This is a poorly drained,nearly level soil is in basins and drainage ways on old terraces. It is moderately deep to a hardpan. Typically,the surface layer is dark gray clay about 12 inches thick.The upper part of the subsoil is gray clay,which extends to a depth of 33 inches. The lower part to a depth of 60 inches is a pale brown and brown, indurated silica-cemented hardpan. In some areas the surface layer is silty clay or silty clay loam. Included in this unit are small areas of Madera, San Joaquin,and Redding soils on the slightly higher terraces. Permeability is very slow in the Alamo soil.Available water capacity is low. The shrink-swell potential is high. The effective rooting depth is limited by the hardpan at a depth f20 to 40 inches. Water is perched with in a depth of 1 foot after periods of heavy rainfall or irrigation. Runoff is very slow. The hazard of water erosion is slight. The rate of water intake in irrigated areas is 0.t inches per hour.The soil is subject to rare flooding,which occurs during years of abnormally high precipitation. Soil type#241: This soil area represents 40 to 45%of a San Joaquin complex soil. Name:Alamo clay,0 to 2%slopes. It is the majority of the soil that is to be used to discharge nutrient water onto. The properties are not directly a part of the dairy but are fields adjacent to it. They are family owned and family farmed. Reference Appendix VII, 1-5 for a copy of an agreement between the George teVelde Dairy g and George teVelde(the father of George Andrew teVelde), to take manure and nutrient water from the Name: San Joaquin complex,0 to 1%slopes. This soil is 45%San Joaquin loam and 40%San Joaquin loam with a thick surface. The components of this unit occur as areas so intricately intermingled that it was not practical to map them. Included in this unit are small areas of Exeter and Rocklin soil. There are small areas of moderately coarse textured soils that have been ripped and have remnants of claypan and hardpan material. Includes areas make up about 15%of the total acreage. ®Western Design/David Avila 1999 The San Joaquin soil that does not have a thick surface layer is moderately deep to a hardpan and is moderately well drained. Typically,the surface layer and the upper part of the subsoil are brown loam 7
