<br /> . <br /> VI. SITE CONDITIONS <br /> A. Soils - soils within the corridor were formed by glacial ground moraines, <br /> outwash plains and alluvium deposits. For the purpose of general <br /> classification, the soils are grouped into three categories based on their <br /> formation. Refer to maps on pages VI-3 through VI-5. <br /> 1. Soils formed dominantly in outwash. <br /> These soils are underlain by fine sand to gravely coarse sand and are <br /> on outwash plains and stream terraces. They range from excessively <br /> drained to very poorly drained, and the terrain is level to steep. These <br /> soils formed under deciduous hardwood forest or prairie. <br /> Soil Series Occurrence <br /> Anoka series - occupies convex positions. <br /> Lino series - occupies depressions, small water.vays and broad <br /> low lying flats. <br /> Lino Variant series - occupies slightly elevated flats and knolls. <br /> . Zimmerman series - occupies convex side slopes. <br /> Zimmerman loamy fine sand (158) - excessively drained, rapid <br /> permeability, low available water content, low natural fertility, low organic <br /> matter content. <br /> Isanti loamy fine sand (161) - very poorly drained, rapid permeability, <br /> low available water capacity, low natural fertility, high organic matter <br /> content. <br /> Lino loamy fine sand (162) - somewhat poorly drained, rapid <br /> permeability, low available water capacity, low natural fertility, low <br /> organic matter content. <br /> Urban Land - Zimmerman Complex (859) - excessively drained, rapid <br /> permeability, low available water capacity, low natural fertility, low <br /> organic matter content. <br /> Udifluvents (1033) - somewhat poorly drained, variable permeability, low <br /> available water capacity, low natural fertility, low organic matter content. <br /> Lino Variant loamy fine sand (1813) - moderately well-drained, rapid <br /> permeability, low available water capacity, low natural fertility, low <br /> organic matter content. <br /> 2. Soils formed dominantly in a sandy mantle and underlying glacial till, and <br /> . in glacial till. <br /> These soils are mostly upland soils that formed in about 20 to 40 inches <br /> of sandy aeolian or lacustrine sediments over glacial till. They range <br /> VI-l <br />
