KLEBNFELDER These groups, in order of predominance in the vicinity of the landfill, are described below: g P = P ty Pink (P) These soils have slopes of 2 - 15%; there is a hardpan present under some, but not all, of the soil; they are moderate to well drained; they have very slow to moderately rapid permeability; they have slow to rapid runoff; and they have slight to severe hazard of erosion. This group contains the Lithic Xerorthents-Toomes complex and the Pentz-Bellota complex. These soils have a wide range of characteristics because they are associations of soils mapped as one unit. This is the predominant group of soils within a one mile radius of the landfill. Yellow (Y) These soils have slopes of 2 - 15%; there is a hardpan present; they are moderately well drained; they have very slow permeability; they have slow to moderate runoff and they have moderate hazard of erosion. This group contains the Keyes- ellota complex, the Keyes-Redding complex, the Pardee cobbly loam and the Redding gravelly loam. This is the _ second most predominant group of soils within a one mile radius of the landfill. Orange (0) These soils have slopes of 15 - 50%; there is no hardpan present; they are to well drained; they have moderately rapid permeability; they have rapid runoff; and they have severe hazard of erosion. This group contains the Pentz sandy loam. This is the third most predominant group of soils within a one mile radius of the landfill. Brown (B) These soils have slopes of 0 - 2%; there is no hardpan present; they are moderately well to well drained; they have moderately slow permeability; they have very slow to slow runoff; and they have slight hazard of erosion. This group contains the Hicksville gravelly loam, the Pardee gravelly loam, the Peters gravelly loam and the Yellowlark gravelly loam. FOOTHILL 7
