DANE COUNTY SOIL MAP <br /> FUCHS TRUCKING CO. LOT APPENDIX A <br /> Attached is a copy of Map #13 from the Dane County Soil Survey. The outlined <br /> area occupied by Fuchs Trucking Company contains a large area marked <br /> "cut and fill" land. This area occupies about 40% of the site. The remainder <br /> of the site contains the following three soil classifications. <br /> Grandby loamy sand (Gn) occupies approximately 30% of the site. Granby .. - <br /> loamy sand is defined in the Soil Survey as follows: - .. . , <br /> , This nearly level soil is on low benchlands. Areas of this soil are 30 to 180 acres x . , <br /> in size. Some areas pond water. -� <br /> Included with this soil in mapping are a few small areas of soils that have a surface •4-`9: <br /> layer of muck, sandy loan, or loam. Also included are small areas of Adrian and -,--,-;-,4,,,., <br /> - 4.„ <br /> . Marshan soils. <br /> Even if this soil is adequately drained and protected from flooding, it is not well <br /> suited to row crops. In areas that have suitable outlets, controlled open-ditch <br /> drainage is the best method. The major concerns of management are providing <br /> adequate controlled drainage, protecting the soil from flooding, maintaining the <br /> organic-matter content, raising the level of fertility and providing protection from <br /> soil blowing. Capability unit IVw-5; woodland suitability group 3w4 <br /> •`' Batavia silt loam, (BbA) occupies 20% of the site and is defined as follows <br /> by the Dane County Soil Survey: ,, <br /> This soil is on the convex crests of high benches. Areas of this soil are irregularly <br /> shaped and are 70 to 240 acres in size. This soil has a profile similar to the one <br /> described as representative for the series, but it has a slightly darker surface layer. <br /> In cultivated areas the surface layer generally is very dark brown. In a few areas -- <br /> R where the slopes are concave,the surface layer is darker. -.x' <br /> Included with this soil in mapping are some small areas of sods that have slopes _ <br /> of 3 to 4 percent. Also included are a few small areas of somewhat poorly drained <br /> Virgil sods, some areas of soils that have silt deeper than 60 inches, and some areas <br /> of soils that have thin layers of water-laid silt, fine sand, or clay in the substratum. <br /> This sod is well suited to all crops commonly grown in the county. It is necessary <br /> to apply lime in order to get good stands of legumes. This sod can be farmed <br /> intensively in areas where fertility is maintained.
