1.0 PERMIT OVERVIEW AND REQUIREMENTS
1.1 Permit Overview
This Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is prepared to inform the
landowner and construction personnel of the measures to be implemented for
controlling runoff and pollutants from the site during and after construction activities.
The operator is responsible to maintain onsite in a secure location that is accessible
during normal working hours to an individual performing a compliance inspection,
the following information:
the SWPPP,
All inspection reports.
All post-construction stormwater management facilities must be inspected annually
by a qualified professional, a report prepared and submitted to the City Engineer
documenting the inspections as well as the maintenance activities that were
completed during the prior year.
Technical standards are detailed in the “New York State Standards and
Specifications for Sediment and Erosion and Sediment Control (November 2016)”,
as well as illustrated on the Grading and Utility Plan included in Appendix A.
2.0 SWPPP REVIEW, UPDATE
2.1 SWPPP Review
City of Saratoga Springs requires preparation of a Basic SWPPP for non-residential
activities disturbing between 0.25 and 0.49 acres. The project is proposed to
disturb 0.43 acres, so a Basic SWPPP has been prepared accordingly. Project
review will be conducted by the City of Saratoga Springs.
2.2 SWPPP Update
The permittee identified in this SWPPP shall amend the SWPPP under the
following conditions:
Whenever the current provisions prove to be ineffective in minimizing
pollutants in stormwater discharge from the site
Whenever there is a change in design, construction or operation that could
have an effect on the discharge of pollutants
To address issues or deficiencies identified during an inspection by the
qualified inspector, the Department or other regulatory authority
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital Expansion
The LA Group Project Number-2025029
Page 2
To identify a new subcontractor or owner that will implement any part of
the SWPPP.
If modifications are required to the post-stormwater management practices the City
of Saratoga Springs must be notified in writing of any planned amendments or
modifications to the post-construction stormwater management practice component
of the SWPPP.
3.0 SITE ASSESSMENT, EVALUATION AND PLANNING
3.1 Project Location
The project is located at 63 Henning Road, in the City of Saratoga Springs,
Saratoga County, NY 12866. The project site is bounded between the F. Donald
Myers Education Center to the north, Union Avenue to the south, and the
Adirondack Northway to the east.
3.2 Pre-Development Conditions
The project site currently operates as an equine hospital center. There are stable
buildings for housing horses, offices, an apartment, an indoor arena, an imaging
center, and a hospital for surgery. The site has some paved areas, but drives are
primarily crushed gravel. There are existing stormwater management ponds on the
east, north, and south side of the site. Stormwater flows generally to the east /
northeast. The project site topography is flat.
3.3 Project Scope and Post-Development Conditions
The project proposes demolishing the existing offices, stables, and apartment, and
constructing in its place an improved facility that can house both horses requiring
isolation and healthy horses, as well as a new office facility that no longer includes
living quarters for people. A small building addition is also proposed for the surgical
center area to the south. In addition to these improvements, sanitary improvements
are also proposed including a new small septic leach field north of the isolation
stables, and a new septic tank for the existing septic system.
The project does not require the design and construction of post-construction
stormwater management facilities; however, the site design has taken into
consideration existing drainage patterns on site and sought to maintain those same
patterns. Site runoff is currently conveyed via a combination of overland flow and
storm piping. A roof drain is proposed for the east side of the new stable facility to
collect and convey stormwater east towards the existing on-site stormwater pond.
See Appendix A for site grading and drainage plan.
3.4 Receiving Waters
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital Expansion
The LA Group Project Number-2025029
Page 3
Site stormwater runoff discharges to existing on site wetlands to the east /
northeast.
3.5 Soils
The USDA/NRCS soil survey map for this site shows Chenango silt loam / loamy
substratum mapped in the project vicinity. These soils are classified in the
hydrologic soil group ‘A’. Soil report can be found in Appendix A.
4.0 EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL
4.1 Erosion and Sediment Control Practices
Temporary Structural Practices
Silt Fence
Dust Control
Construction Entrance
Permanent Structural Controls
Asphalt pavement/concrete walks
Temporary Stabilization Practices (including vegetative practices)
Seed and mulch bare soil areas within 14 days of disturbance unless
construction will resume in that area within 21 days.
Permanent Stabilization Practices (including vegetative practices)
Seed and mulch all disturbed areas. Slopes that are 3:1 or steeper should
receive a Rolled Erosion Control Product (RECP), sodding, and or hydro-
seeding a homogenous mixture of wood fiber mulch with tackifying agent.
Refer to Construction Drawings attached in Appendix A for detailed information on
each practice.
4.2 Erosion and Sediment Control Drawings
Erosion and Sediment Control practices are shown on the Construction Drawings
included in Appendix A.
4.3 Construction Sequence of Operations
Temporary structural erosion controls will be installed prior to earthwork as
per the attached plans.
Areas to be undisturbed for more than 14 days will be temporarily
stabilized by seeding.
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital Expansion
The LA Group Project Number-2025029
Page 4
Disturbed areas will be reseeded and mulched immediately after final
contours are re-established and no more than 14 days after the
completion of construction at that site.
Temporary erosion control devices will not be removed until the area
served is stabilized by the growth of vegetation and the area is certified as
being stabilized by the Erosion Control Inspector.
Construction Activities Start Stop
Sequence must include major items such as, but not limited to,
clearing and grubbing, excavation and grading, utility and
infrastructure installation and any other activity resulting in soil
disturbance. Include installation of erosion and sediment control
practices and timing of installation.
Install silt fence and construction entrance prior to any site
disturbance. Maintain erosion control measures for duration
of site disturbances.

4.4 Erosion and Sediment Control Practice Maintenance
Temporary erosion and sediment control practices will need to be maintained
frequently during construction. It is the responsibility of the operator to inspect, and
maintain the temporary controls so that they are working efficiently. The operator
needs to pay close attention to SWPPP Inspection Reports that will advise of
needed maintenance. Captured sediment will have to be removed periodically from
each practice in order for the control to function properly. Temporary erosion and
sediment control practice maintenance needs are listed below:
Silt fence – maintenance shall be performed as needed and material
removed when “bulges” develop in the silt fence.
Stabilized construction entrance – entrance shall be maintained in a
condition which shall prevent tracking. This may require periodic top
dressing with additional aggregate. All sediment tracked onto or spilled on
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital Expansion
The LA Group Project Number-2025029
Page 5
public rights of way shall be removed immediately. When necessary,
wheels must be cleaned to remove sediment prior to entrance on public
rights of way. When washing is required, it shall be done in an area
stabilized with aggregate.
4.5 Erosion and Sediment Control Inspection
A qualified inspector shall conduct an assessment of the site prior to
the commencement of construction and certify in an inspection report
that the appropriate erosion and sediment controls described in the
SWPPP have been adequately installed to ensure overall
preparedness of the site for commencement of construction.
This qualified inspector must be a Licensed Professional Engineer,
Certified Professional in Erosion and Sediment Control (CPESC),
Registered Landscape Architect, or someone working under the direct
supervision of, and at the same company as, the licensed Professional
Engineer or Registered Landscape Architect, provided they have
received 4 hours of Department endorsed training in proper erosion
and sediment control principles from a Soil and Water Conservation
District, or other Department endorsed entity. After receiving the initial
training, the qualified inspector shall receive 4 hours of training every 3
years.
The day-to-day erosion control activities on the site will be monitored
by the construction manager. The qualified inspector and his crews
will make at least one inspection every seven (7) days of erosion
control devices, and non-stabilized areas during construction. A
maintenance inspection report will be completed by the qualified
inspector after each inspection. The report form to be completed by
the inspector is found in Appendix B. Reports should be compiled
and maintained on-site in the SWPPP 3-ring binder.
All measures will be maintained in good working order; if repair is
necessary, it will be initiated within 24 hours of report. The qualified
inspector shall take photographs of any repairs needed and also
photograph when the repairs are completed. These photographs will
be time and date stamped and attached to the weekly inspection
report.
Seeded and planted areas will be inspected for bare spots, washouts,
and healthy growth. If necessary, spot reseeding or sodding will be
implemented.
A trained contractor will be an employee from the contracting company
responsible for the implementation of the SWPPP. This person will be
onsite when any soil disturbing activities are being conducted. The
trained contractor must have received 4 hours of Department endorsed
training in proper erosion and sediment control principles from a Soil
and Water Conservation District, or other Department endorsed entity.
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital Expansion
The LA Group Project Number-2025029
Page 6
After receiving the initial training, the qualified inspector shall receive 4
hours of training every 3 years. This trained contractor cannot conduct
the regular SWPPP compliance inspections unless they meet the
qualified inspector qualifications.
4.6 Contractor Sequence Form
The operator shall prepare a summary of construction status using the Construction
Sequence Form (included in Appendix C) once every month. Significant deviations
to the sequence and reasons for those deviations (i.e. weather, subcontractor
availability, etc.), shall be noted by the contractor. The schedule shall be used to
record the dates for initiation of construction, implementation of erosion control
measures, stabilization, etc. A copy of this table will be maintained at the
construction site and updated.
5.0 CONSTRUCTION WASTE
Waste Materials: All waste materials generated during construction will be disposed of
at a suitable landfill or transfer station.
Hazardous Waste: The project will not be a generator of hazardous waste, and it is not
anticipated that any hazardous waste will be generated during construction. If there are
any materials generated, a licensed hazardous waste carrier will be contracted to
dispose of the hazardous material at a suitable disposal site. If hazardous materials are
discovered during construction, the work will be stopped until the issue is resolved.
Waste: Portable sanitary facilities will be made available to construction personnel and
will be serviced regularly.
6.0 TEMPORARY STABILIZATION FOR FROZEN
CONDITIONS
The following temporary stabilization measures MUST be performed when construction
is occurring during winter/frozen ground conditions. The following requirements do not
supersede any other requirements of this SWPPP as they apply to non-frozen ground
conditions.
Perimeter erosion control MUST still be installed prior to earthwork
disturbance as per this SWPPP.
Any areas that cannot be seeded to turf by October 1st or earlier will
receive a temporary seeding. The temporary seeding will consist of
winter rye seeded at the rate of 120 pounds per acre (2.5 pounds per
1,000 square feet) or stabilized as per the temporary stabilization for
winter construction/frozen conditions.
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital Expansion
The LA Group Project Number-2025029
Page 7
Any area of disturbance that will remain inactive for a period of 14
consecutive days MUST be mulched. This includes any previously
disturbed areas that are covered with snow.
Mulch MUST consist of loose straw applied at the rate of 2 to 3 bales
(90 to 100 pounds) per thousand square feet.
Mulch MUST be applied uniformly over the area of bare soil or bare
soil that is covered with snow. For the latter condition, mulch MUST
be applied on top of snow.
Using a tracked vehicle, mulch MUST be crimped into the bare
soil/snow. The tracked vehicle MUST be driven across the mulched
areas in at least two directions to maximize crimping of mulch into the
soil/snow.
If mulch gets blown off an area to a significant degree, the site
inspector WILL require that an area be re-mulched in accordance with
Items 2 through 5 above, and this area WILL be included on the
inspection checklist for the next inspection.
If a particular area repeatedly experiences loss of mulch due to wind,
then the inspector WILL require that an alternative method be used to
secure the mulch in place. Such alternatives may include the use of
netting, tackifier or other methods deemed appropriate by the
inspector.
During periods when snow is melting and/or surface soils are thawing
during daytime hours, mulched areas MUST be re-tracked (crimped)
as per Item 5 above at least once every seven days, more frequently if
directed by the inspector. Additional mulch may be required to obtain
complete coverage of an area. Biodegradable erosion control matting
may be required on steeper slopes.
Additional stabilization measures for non-frozen ground conditions
described in this SWPPP WILL be implemented at the time deemed
appropriate by the inspector.
During the winter season, if a site has been stabilized and soil disturbing activities have
been suspended for the winter, weekly inspections can be suspended. However, monthly
inspections must still be conducted. All normal weekly inspections must resume when soil
disturbing activities resume.
7.0 SPILL PREVENTION PRACTICES
Good Housekeeping and Material Management Practices
The following good housekeeping and material management practices will be followed
on site during the construction project to reduce the risk of spills or other accidental
exposure of materials and substances to stormwater runoff.
Materials will be brought on site in the minimum quantities required.

machinery in or within 100 feet of any watercourse or wetland.
All above grade storage tanks are to be protected from vehicle damage
by temporary barriers.
Inventory for Pollution Prevention Plan
The materials and substances listed below are expected to be on-site during
construction.
Petroleum for fueling vehicles will be stored in above ground storage
tanks. Tanks will either be steel with an enclosure capable of holding
110% of the storage tank volume or of a Con-Store, concrete encased
type typically employed by NYSDOT. Hydraulic oil and other oils will
be stored in their original containers. Concrete and asphalt will be
stored in the original delivery trucks.
Fertilizer may be stored on site in its original container for a short
period of time prior to seeding. Original containers will be safely piled
on pallets or similar devices to protect them from moisture.
Paints and other similar materials will be stored in their original
containers and all empty containers will be disposed of in accordance
with label directions.
Portable sanitary facilities, which contain chemical disinfectants
(deodorants) will be located on-site, with the disinfectants held in the
tank of the toilet.
Hazardous Products
These practices are used to reduce the risks associated with hazardous materials.
Products will be kept in original containers unless they are not re-
sealable.
Original labels and material safety data sheets will be retained; they
contain important product information.

manufacturers’ instructions or State and local regulations.
Concrete Trucks:
Concrete trucks will be allowed to wash out or discharge surplus
concrete or drum wash water only at designated locations on site.
Asphalt Trucks:
Asphalt trucks shall not discharge surplus asphalt on the site.
Spill Control Practices
In addition to the good housekeeping and material management practices discussed in
the previous sections of this plan, the following practices will be followed for spill
prevention and cleanup. The construction manager or site superintendent responsible
for the day-to-day site operations will be the spill prevention and cleanup coordinator.
He will designate at least three other site personnel who will receive spill prevention and
cleanup training. These individuals will each become responsible for a particular phase
of prevention and cleanup. The names of responsible spill personnel will be posted in
the material storage area and in the onsite construction office or trailer.
Manufacturers’ recommended methods for spill cleanup will be clearly
posted and site personnel will be made aware of the procedures and
the location of the information and cleanup supplies. Any spill in
excess or suspected to be in excess of two gallons will be reported to
the NYSDEC Regional Spill Response Unit. Notification to the
NYSDEC (1-800-457-7362) must be completed within two hours of the
discovery of the spill.
Materials and equipment necessary for spill cleanup will be kept in the
material storage area onsite. Equipment and materials will include but
not be limited to absorbent pads, brooms, dust pans, mops, rags,
gloves, goggles, activated clay, sand, sawdust, and plastic and metal
trash containers specifically for this purpose.
All spills will be cleaned up immediately after discovery.

9.0 DEFINITIONS
Construction Activity(ies) - means any clearing, grading, excavation, filling,
demolition, or stockpiling activities that result in soil disturbance. Clearing activities can
include, but are not limited to, logging equipment operation, the cutting and skidding of
trees, tree removal, stump removal and/or brush removal. Construction activity does
not include routine maintenance that is performed to maintain the original line and
grade, hydraulic capacity, or original purpose of a facility.
Construction Phasing Plan - a plan designed to construct particular portions of an
individual project at different times. Phasing is often used when a project is very large
to limit the disturbance at a single time to 5 acres per phase.
Erosion and Sediment Control Practices – temporary measures installed prior to
construction and maintained during construction to temporarily treat any stormwater
runoff. Once construction is completed and post-construction stormwater management
practices are installed and the site is stabilized, the erosion and sediment control
practices are removed from the site.
Final Stabilization - means that all soil disturbance activities have ceased and a
uniform, perennial vegetative cover with a density of eighty (80) percent over the entire
pervious surface has been established; or other equivalent stabilization measures, such
as permanent landscape mulches, rock rip-rap or washed/crushed stone have been
applied on all disturbed areas that are not covered by permanent structures, concrete
pavement.
Green Infrastructure – in the context of stormwater management, the term green
infrastructure includes a wide array of practices at multiple scales to manage and treat
stormwater, maintain and restore natural hydrology and ecological function by
infiltration, evapotranspiration, capture and reuse of stormwater, and establishment of
natural vegetative features. On a regional scale, green infrastructure is the preservation
and restoration of natural landscape features, such as forests, floodplains and wetlands,
coupled with policies such as infill and redevelopment that reduce overall
imperviousness in a watershed or ecoregion. On the local scale green infrastructure
consist of site and neighborhood specific practices and runoff reduction techniques.
Such practices essentially result in runoff reduction and or establishment of habitat
areas with significant utilization of soils, vegetation, and engineered media rather than
traditional hardscape collection, conveyance and storage structures. Some examples
include green roofs, trees and tree boxes, pervious pavement, rain gardens, vegetated
swales, planters, reforestation and protection and enhancement of riparian buffers and
floodplains.
Impervious Area (Cover) - means all impermeable surfaces that cannot effectively
infiltrate rainfall. This includes paved, concrete and gravel surfaces (i.e. parking lots,
driveways, roads, runways, and sidewalks); building rooftops, and miscellaneous
impermeable structures such as patios, pools, and sheds.

Page 17
Municipal Separate Storm Sewer (MS4) – a conveyance or system of conveyances
(including roads with drainage systems, municipal streets, catch basins, curbs, gutters,
ditches, man-made channels, or storm drains):
i. Owned or operated by a state, city, town, borough, county, parish, district,
association, or other public body (created by or pursuant to State law) having
jurisdiction over disposal of sewage, industrial wastes, stormwater, or other
wastes, including special districts under State law such as a sewer district,
flood control district or drainage district, or similar entity, or an Indian tribe or
an authorized Indian tribal organization, or a designated and approved
management agency under section 208 of the CWA that discharges to
surface waters of the State.
ii. Designed or used for collecting or conveying stormwater
iii. Which is not a combined sewer
iv. Which is not part of a Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW) as defined at

Preface
Soil surveys contain information that affects land use planning in survey areas.
They highlight soil limitations that affect various land uses and provide information
about the properties of the soils in the survey areas. Soil surveys are designed for
many different users, including farmers, ranchers, foresters, agronomists, urban
planners, community officials, engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers.
Also, conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation, waste
disposal, and pollution control can use the surveys to help them understand,
protect, or enhance the environment.
Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may impose
special restrictions on land use or land treatment. Soil surveys identify soil
properties that are used in making various land use or land treatment decisions.
The information is intended to help the land users identify and reduce the effects of
soil limitations on various land uses. The landowner or user is responsible for
identifying and complying with existing laws and regulations.
Although soil survey information can be used for general farm, local, and wider area
planning, onsite investigation is needed to supplement this information in some
cases. Examples include soil quality assessments (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/
portal/nrcs/main/soils/health/) and certain conservation and engineering
applications. For more detailed information, contact your local USDA Service Center
(https://offices.sc.egov.usda.gov/locator/app?agency=nrcs) or your NRCS State Soil
Scientist (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/detail/soils/contactus/?
cid=nrcs142p2_053951).
Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances. Some soils are
seasonally wet or subject to flooding. Some are too unstable to be used as a
foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils are poorly suited to use as
septic tank absorption fields. A high water table makes a soil poorly suited to
basements or underground installations.
The National Cooperative Soil Survey is a joint effort of the United States
Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the
Agricultural Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS) has leadership for the Federal part of the National
Cooperative Soil Survey.
Information about soils is updated periodically. Updated information is available
through the NRCS Web Soil Survey, the site for official soil survey information.

How Soil Surveys Are Made
Soil surveys are made to provide information about the soils and miscellaneous
areas in a specific area. They include a description of the soils and miscellaneous
areas and their location on the landscape and tables that show soil properties and
limitations affecting various uses. Soil scientists observed the steepness, length,
and shape of the slopes; the general pattern of drainage; the kinds of crops and
native plants; and the kinds of bedrock. They observed and described many soil
profiles. A soil profile is the sequence of natural layers, or horizons, in a soil. The
profile extends from the surface down into the unconsolidated material in which the
soil formed or from the surface down to bedrock. The unconsolidated material is
devoid of roots and other living organisms and has not been changed by other
biological activity.
Currently, soils are mapped according to the boundaries of major land resource
areas (MLRAs). MLRAs are geographically associated land resource units that
share common characteristics related to physiography, geology, climate, water
resources, soils, biological resources, and land uses (USDA, 2006). Soil survey
areas typically consist of parts of one or more MLRA.
The soils and miscellaneous areas in a survey area occur in an orderly pattern that
is related to the geology, landforms, relief, climate, and natural vegetation of the
area. Each kind of soil and miscellaneous area is associated with a particular kind
of landform or with a segment of the landform. By observing the soils and
miscellaneous areas in the survey area and relating their position to specific
segments of the landform, a soil scientist develops a concept, or model, of how they
were formed. Thus, during mapping, this model enables the soil scientist to predict
with a considerable degree of accuracy the kind of soil or miscellaneous area at a
specific location on the landscape.
Commonly, individual soils on the landscape merge into one another as their
characteristics gradually change. To construct an accurate soil map, however, soil
scientists must determine the boundaries between the soils. They can observe only
a limited number of soil profiles. Nevertheless, these observations, supplemented
by an understanding of the soil-vegetation-landscape relationship, are sufficient to
verify predictions of the kinds of soil in an area and to determine the boundaries.
Soil scientists recorded the characteristics of the soil profiles that they studied. They
noted soil color, texture, size and shape of soil aggregates, kind and amount of rock
fragments, distribution of plant roots, reaction, and other features that enable them
to identify soils. After describing the soils in the survey area and determining their
properties, the soil scientists assigned the soils to taxonomic classes (units).
Taxonomic classes are concepts. Each taxonomic class has a set of soil
characteristics with precisely defined limits. The classes are used as a basis for
comparison to classify soils systematically. Soil taxonomy, the system of taxonomic
classification used in the United States, is based mainly on the kind and character
of soil properties and the arrangement of horizons within the profile. After the soil
5
scientists classified and named the soils in the survey area, they compared the
individual soils with similar soils in the same taxonomic class in other areas so that
they could confirm data and assemble additional data based on experience and
research.
The objective of soil mapping is not to delineate pure map unit components; the
objective is to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that
have similar use and management requirements. Each map unit is defined by a
unique combination of soil components and/or miscellaneous areas in predictable
proportions. Some components may be highly contrasting to the other components
of the map unit. The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way
diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The delineation of such
landforms and landform segments on the map provides sufficient information for the
development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, onsite
investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas.
Soil scientists make many field observations in the process of producing a soil map.
The frequency of observation is dependent upon several factors, including scale of
mapping, intensity of mapping, design of map units, complexity of the landscape,
and experience of the soil scientist. Observations are made to test and refine the
soil-landscape model and predictions and to verify the classification of the soils at
specific locations. Once the soil-landscape model is refined, a significantly smaller
number of measurements of individual soil properties are made and recorded.
These measurements may include field measurements, such as those for color,
depth to bedrock, and texture, and laboratory measurements, such as those for
content of sand, silt, clay, salt, and other components. Properties of each soil
typically vary from one point to another across the landscape.
Observations for map unit components are aggregated to develop ranges of
characteristics for the components. The aggregated values are presented. Direct
measurements do not exist for every property presented for every map unit
component. Values for some properties are estimated from combinations of other
properties.
While a soil survey is in progress, samples of some of the soils in the area generally
are collected for laboratory analyses and for engineering tests. Soil scientists
interpret the data from these analyses and tests as well as the field-observed
characteristics and the soil properties to determine the expected behavior of the
soils under different uses. Interpretations for all of the soils are field tested through
observation of the soils in different uses and under different levels of management.
Some interpretations are modified to fit local conditions, and some new
interpretations are developed to meet local needs. Data are assembled from other
sources, such as research information, production records, and field experience of
specialists. For example, data on crop yields under defined levels of management
are assembled from farm records and from field or plot experiments on the same
kinds of soil.
Predictions about soil behavior are based not only on soil properties but also on
such variables as climate and biological activity. Soil conditions are predictable over
long periods of time, but they are not predictable from year to year. For example,
soil scientists can predict with a fairly high degree of accuracy that a given soil will
have a high water table within certain depths in most years, but they cannot predict
that a high water table will always be at a specific level in the soil on a specific date.
After soil scientists located and identified the significant natural bodies of soil in the
survey area, they drew the boundaries of these bodies on aerial photographs and

identified each as a specific map unit. Aerial photographs show trees, buildings,
fields, roads, and rivers, all of which help in locating boundaries accurately.

Map Unit Descriptions
The map units delineated on the detailed soil maps in a soil survey represent the
soils or miscellaneous areas in the survey area. The map unit descriptions, along
with the maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit.
A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more
major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named
according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic
class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the
landscape, however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the
characteristic variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some
observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class.
Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without
including areas of other taxonomic classes. Consequently, every map unit is made
up of the soils or miscellaneous areas for which it is named and some minor
components that belong to taxonomic classes other than those of the major soils.
Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the
map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called
noncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a
particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties
and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different
management. These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. They
generally are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the
scale used. Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas
are identified by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a
given area, the contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit
descriptions along with some characteristics of each. A few areas of minor
components may not have been observed, and consequently they are not
mentioned in the descriptions, especially where the pattern was so complex that it
was impractical to make enough observations to identify all the soils and
miscellaneous areas on the landscape.
The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the
usefulness or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate
pure taxonomic classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms or
landform segments that have similar use and management requirements. The
delineation of such segments on the map provides sufficient information for the
development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, however,
Custom Soil Resource Report
11
onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous
areas.
An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions.
Each description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soil
properties and qualities.
Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soil series. Except for
differences in texture of the surface layer, all the soils of a series have major
horizons that are similar in composition, thickness, and arrangement.
Soils of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope, stoniness,
salinity, degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use. On the
basis of such differences, a soil series is divided into soil phases. Most of the areas
shown on the detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. The name of a soil phase
commonly indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example, Alpha
silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the Alpha series.
Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas.
These map units are complexes, associations, or undifferentiated groups.
A complex consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate
pattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps.
The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar
in all areas. Alpha-Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an example.
An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or
miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of present
or anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not considered
practical or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. The
pattern and relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat
similar. Alpha-Beta association, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas
that could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar
interpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and proportion
of the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform. An area can
be made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it can be made
up of all of them. Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
Some surveys include miscellaneous areas. Such areas have little or no soil
material and support little or no vegetation. Rock outcrop is an example.
