Soil Character: The University of California publication entitled"Soils of San Joaquin County, California by Walter W. Weir, dated June 1952, refers to the soil in this general area as being San Joaquin Loam (Poorly Drained). This is soil on older plains and terraces having hardpan subsoil layers generally underlain with unconsolidated material. It is a medium textured soil having hardpan or hardpan like subsoil and is poorly drained. It is generally derived from parent material that is alluvial soil derived from acid igneous (granitic) sources. The surface soil is generally reddish-brown in color and it is on a nearly level slope, less than 2%. The soil is slightly acid in reaction and it is resistant to erosion. It is alkali free with less than 0.2% soluble salts. The soil has good surface drainage and poor subsurface drainage. The Storie Index is 12 making it very poor for growing agricultural crops. The"Soil Survey of San Joaquin County, California,United States Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service" issued October 1992 lists the soil type in this general area as San Joaquin Loam,thick surface, on a 0 to 2% slope. This soil listed as moderately well drained, nearly level and in low fan terraces. It is moderately deep to hardpan. It is formed in alluvium derived from granitic sources. The native vegetation is mainly annual grasses, and scattered California White Oak. A few areas are dissected by intermittent sloughs. The annual rainfall in the area is about 16" and the annual air temperature is about 61 degrees Fahrenheit. The average frost-free period is about 275 days. Typically the surface layer is pinkish gray in color and about 12"thick. The upper 14 inches of the subsoil is brown sandy clay loam. The next 9 inches is brown clay. 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 or sandy loam.
