Soils <br /> <br />The Ramsey County Soil Conservation Service has identified the <br />following general soil associations within the City of Roseville. (See <br />Figure 3) <br /> <br />1. Zimmerman-Urban Land-Rifle: This soil association is level to <br />gently rolling, excessively to very poorly drained, coarse textured, <br />and organic soils formed in a sandy wash and deep organic <br />deposits. Urban land consists of soil covered by concrete, asphalt, <br />and buildings. This soil association has good potential for urban <br />uses. <br /> <br />2. Hayden-Urban Land-Dundas: This association is gently sloping to <br />steep, poorly to well drained, medium to moderately coarse <br />textured soils formed primarily in calcareous, loamy glacial till and <br />urban land. This association has fair to poor potential for urban <br />uses because of slopes and shrink-swell potentials. Roads, <br />driveways, and foundations need careful design because of the <br />moderate volume changes in the soil. <br /> <br />3. Urban tand-Waukegan-Chetek: This association consists of urban <br />land and nearly level to gently sloping, well and somewhat <br />excessively drained, medium to moderately coarse textured soils <br />formed in gravelly acid or calcareous outwash. This association <br />has good to fair potential for urban uses because of slope. <br /> <br />4. Kingsley-Urban Land-Santiago: This association has gently <br />sloping to steep, well-drained, medium and moderately coarse <br />textured soils formed on acid, sandy loam glacial till, and urban <br />land. This association has good potential for urban uses but is <br />limited in some areas by steep slopes. <br /> <br />5. Urban Land-Chetek.Mahtomedi: This association is urban land <br />and gently sloping to steep, well and somewhat excessively <br /> <br />Roseville Comprehensive Plan 2001 Update <br /> <br />The Land and its People -Page 6 of 24 <br />
