• SOILS The Soil Survey of Dane County published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Soil 1 Conservation Service and issued January 1978 indicates that there are four dominant soil types on the Didcoct property. These soil types run from north to south on the Iproperty. The southern band is Plainfield sand. This is located on the highest part of the property. The next band of soils are Spinks and Plainfield loamy sands. They are on the wooded north facing slope. The next band is very narrow and is made up of Granby loamy sand. These soils divide the sloping lands from the level low lands to th e Inorth. The northern most band if soils is the Adrian Muck Series. This includes approximately the northern one-third of the property. The Adrian muck series consists of poorly drained, deep, nearly level soil on benches or in stream valleys. These soils are moderately deep to sand and gravel. This soil series has low fertility, available water capacity is high, and permeability is moderately rapid. This soil is suited is best suited to wild life habitat. Limitations for dwellings with basements are severe due to seasonally high h water tables. Limitations for septic tank absorption fields are also p p severe. Note that area in which the home is situated is in the area of the Plainfield sand soil series. The Plainfield sand series has moderate limitations for septic tank absorption fields and slight limitations for dwellings with basements. The following chart p 9 9 g on the following page depicts the soil symbol and soil name and pertinent data relative to each soil type. I 18 I
