Meadow Creek Wetland Delineation 6475.007
1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Morrison-Maierle, Inc. delineated wetlands and other aquatic features on approximately 25.2
acres of land located northwest of the intersection of Blackwood Road and South 24t" Avenue in
Bozeman, MT. The property, within the Meadow Creek Subdivision, is described legally as:
523, T02 S, R05 E, C.O.S. 2286, ACRES 25.22, SW4NE4 NW4SE4 LESS TRS, SW4SE4 &
SE4SW4 COS 2286 LESS MEADOW CREEK SUB PH 1
A vicinity map of the investigation area is in Appendix A (Figure 1).
Prior to the field investigation, our environmental scientists review existing literature relevant to
the project area, including historical aerial photography, topographic maps, and hydrologic data.
Field delineation of wetlands and other aquatic features is based on identification of hydric soil
conditions, wetland hydrology, and hydrophytic vegetation. We evaluate the investigation area
based on criteria set forth in the 2010 Regional Supplement to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
USACE Wetland Delineation Manual: Western Mountains, Valleys, and Coast (Version 2.0)
(Environmental Laboratory 2010).
Based on the wetland delineation presented in this report and the data collected, it is Morrison-
Maierle's professional judgement that wetlands and waterways are present within the project
area. The project area contains 1.63 acres of PEM1A wetland, 0.92 acres of PEM1SS, and
approximately 2,519 linear feet of an unnamed tributary. Figures in Appendix A detail the
investigation area and delineated features. Table 3 in Section 5 summarizes the wetlands and
aquatic features delineated within the project area.
The USACE and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are the final authority over the
jurisdictional status of both wetlands and waters of the U.S. according to Section 404 of the
Clean Water Act. The findings discussed in this report are solely the opinion of Morrison-Maierle
and have not been verified by the regulatory government agencies.

2 INTRODUCTION
2.1 Purpose and Scope
Morrison-Maierle, Inc. completed a wetland delineation at the request of Bridger Development
Strategies LLC of approximately 25.2 acres of land located northwest of the intersection of
Blackwood Road and South 24th Avenue in Bozeman, MT. The property, within the Meadow
Creek Subdivision, is described legally as:
523, T02 S, R05 E, C.O.S. 2286, ACRES 25.22, SW4NE4 NW4SE4 LESS TRS, SW4SE4 &
SE4SW4 COS 2286 LESS MEADOW CREEK SUB PH 1
2.2 Background Information
The subject property is surrounded by residential properties to the west, north, and east;
agricultural fields border the property to the south. Three gravel roadways transect the property
as seen in Figure 3 (Appendix A). These roads are closed to the public.
2.2.1 Aerial Imagery
Historic aerial imagery shows the waterway meandering through the subject property
surrounded by unmown agricultural fields. Development of surrounding areas begins between
2005 and 2006 and rapidly progresses through present day. Google Earth Pro provides historical
aerial imagery available for the years 1995, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2009, 2011, 2014, 2020,
2021, and 2023. A 2023 aerial map of the subject property is attached to this memo.
2.2.2 City of Bozeman Mapped Stormwater Infrastructure
The City of Bozeman (the city) maps the following features on the subject property:
■ Urban waterway (the waterway running through the property) *.
■ Five stormwater detention ponds.
■ Outfalls from each stormwater pond to the stream (five total).
■ Stormwater gravity mains connecting the detention ponds to their outfalls.
■ Two stormwater gravity mains connecting or culverting the stream across Blackwood
Road to the south, and Kurk Drive to the north.
■ Stormwater inlets on South 23rd Avenue draining stormwater to one of the detention
ponds on the property.
■ Stormwater inlets on Commonwealth Street and South 22nd Avenue draining stormwater
to one of the detention ponds on the property.
*Furthermore, the cities' geospatial data indicates that the waterway flowing northwards
through the subject property eventually reaches Catron Creek (Bozeman GIS Open Data. 2024).
A map of city stormwater infrastructure on the subject property overlaid with the wetland
delineation is provided in Appendix A (Figure 7). The city maintains a geographic information
system (GIS) database of city infrastructure with an online mapping service. Morrison-Maierle
accessed the GIS server on June 6, 2024 to identify stormwater infrastructure on the subject
property (Bozeman GIS Open Data. 2024).

2.2.3 Gallatin County Conservation District Correspondence
Correspondence between Morrison-Maierle and the Gallatin Conservation District on January 9,
2024 indicates the following:
• Presence of active flow during non-irrigation season (December) implies the waterway is
jurisdictional.
■ Impacting the waterway would require a 310 permit.
A copy of correspondence with the District is provided in Appendix D.
2.2.4 Site Visits
December 2023
Morrison-Maierle environmental scientists completed a preliminary evaluation of aquatic
features on the subject property on December 8, 2023. The watercourse identified on both the
USGS map and by the city demonstrates an active, northward flow during both the December
field visits, indicating a stream rather than a ditch. Furthermore, no headgates were identified
within the watercourse channel on the subject property.
A culvert facilitates the passage of the waterway beneath Kurk Drive, situated midway through
the property. Observations of vegetation patterns and topography strongly suggest the
presence of a wetland fringe alongside the waterway. We noted small clusters of cattails within
landscape depressions. Additionally, a substantial depression located centrally within the subject
property potentially retains water throughout the growing season. The western section of the
property exhibits upland characteristics and likely does not contain wetlands.
June 2024
Morrison-Maierle completed a formal wetland delineation on June 4, 2024, the results of which
are described in this report.
2.3 Objectives
The objective of this report is to document the presence and extent of aquatic features on the
subject property.
2.4 Site Description
2.4.1 National Wetlands Inventory
National Wetland Inventory (NWI)
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) maps a linear R4SBA feature, the waterway, flowing
through the subject property. This classification describes an intermittent stream with surface
water present for "brief periods" during the growing season, but with a water table that is
regularly below the ground surface (USFWS 2023). A NWI map of the subject property is
attached to this memo (Figure 4a).
The USFWS maintains the National Wetland Inventory (NWI) database, a publicly available
resource providing detailed information on the abundance, characteristics, and distribution of
3 � P a g e �� Morrison
� Maierle
/lea ree lanc elineation 6475.007
U.S. Wetlands. The NWI database is based on a model that predicts the presence of wetlands
from various parameters and does not necessarily reflect ground conditions.
Montana Natural Heritage Program Wetland and Riparian Data (MNHP)
The Montana Natural Heritage Program (MNHP) maps two wetland features on the subject
property. A Rp1SS feature in the northern section, and PEMA feature in the south. The USACE
defines these features as:
■ Rp1 SS: Riparian scrub-shrub wetlands adjacent to rivers.
■ PEMA: Temporarily flooded depressions dominated by herbaceous vegetation.
A MNHP wetland map is attached to this memo (Figure 4b). The MNHP Wetland and Riparian
Mapping Center provides a comprehensive statewide digital layer of wetlands and riparian areas
within Montana's Spatial Data Infrastructure (MSDI). This mapping initiative adheres to USFWS
National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) standards and incorporates descriptors to characterize
hydrogeomorphic features, providing valuable information for wetland function identification.
Like the NWI, the MNHP wetland layer is based on a model that predicts the presence of
wetlands from various parameters and does not necessarily reflect ground conditions.
2.4.2 Streams & Topography
The Bozeman, MT 2020 U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-minute topographic map depicts an
intermittent stream flowing northwards through the property, terminating into the Farmer's
Canal approximately 1.6 miles to the north. This map shows the elevation of the subject property
ranging between 4,980 and 5,040 feet above sea level (USGS 2020).
2.4.3 Soils
88% of the property contains up to 10% hydric soil components (NRCS 2024). Hydric soils,
formed under "conditions of saturation, flooding, or ponding long enough during the growing
season to develop anaerobic conditions in the upper part" support hydrophytic plant growth
and are one of three indicators of wetland areas (Federal Register, 1994). A 10% hydric soil
rating suggests, but does not exclusively indicate, the presence of wetlands on the subject
property.
The Natural Resources and Conservation Service (NRCS) maps two soil units on the subject
property. The Meadowcreek loam comprises 88% of the property; encompassing the remaining
12% of the property, the Turner loam possesses zero hydric components (NRCS 2023).
Table 1. NRCS mapped soil units on the subject property
510B Meadowcreek loam,0 to 4 percent slopes 10 88%
457A Turner loam,moderately wet,0 to 2 percent slopes 0 12%
Total 100%
A custom soil report and hydric rating by map unit for the investigation area, obtained from the
NRCS Web Soil Survey, is provided in Appendix E. Figure 5 in Appendix A depicts mapped soil
units in the investigation area.

2.4.4 Floodplains
The subject property is not within the 100-year flood zone. The Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) maps the property on panel 30031 C0814D with an effective date of September
1, 2011 and a Letter Of Map Revision (LOMR) 15-08-1248P became effective October 30, 2015.
3 METHODS
3.1 Sampling Protocol
This wetland delineation utilizes the methodology presented in the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE) Wetlands Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory 1987) and
subsequent modifications outlined in the Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers
Wetland Delineation Manual: Western Mountains, Valleys, and Coast (Version 2.0)
(Environmental Laboratory 2010). The methodology includes sampling procedures for
vegetation, hydrology, and soil parameters.
3.2 Wetland Indicators
3.2.1 Vegetation
Vegetation at upland and wetland data points is classified based on wetland indicator status.
The indicator status of vegetation was derived from the USACE 2020 National Wetlands Plant
List (NWPL). Using the current plant list, vegetation cover qualified as hydrophytic where over
50% of the dominant plant species had an indicator status of obligate (OBL), facultative wet
(FACW), and/or facultative (FAC). FAC plants, such as Canada thistle (Cirsium arvense), are
equally likely to occur in wetlands and non-wetlands. Vegetation cover was considered as
upland where over 50% of the dominant plant species were classified as upland (UPL), and/or
facultative upland (FACU). Plants observed within each data plot were identified using Montana
Manual of Vascular Plants (Lesica 2012). Vegetation nomenclature follows USACE NWPL (2020)
and Lesica (2012).
3.2.2 Soil
Wetlands must meet the qualifications of at least one hydric soil indicator or meet the definition
of a hydric soil (a soil that formed under conditions of saturation, flooding or ponding long
enough during the growing season to develop anaerobic conditions in the upper part (NRCS
2019a)). Soils at each data point were evaluated and described notating the depth, matrix color,
mottle abundance and contrast (if present), texture, etc. (Environmental Laboratory, 1987 and
2010). Moist matrix color and moist mottle color of the soils were determined utilizing the
Munsell Soil Color Chart (Kollmorgan Instruments Corporation, 2009).
3.2.3 Hydrology
Primary and secondary hydrologic indicators were assessed at each data point; one primary
indicator or two secondary indicators are required to qualify the area as containing wetland
hydrology. Examples of primary hydrology indicators are saturation within 12 inches of the
ground surface, surface water, and water table within 12 inches of the ground surface. Examples
5 � P a g e �� Morrison
� Maierle
" " ' �w C� ' '"" �' ' C' '� �ea�� 6475.007
of secondary hydrology indicators are FAC-neutral test and geomorphic position on the
landscape.
3.3 Delineation Procedure
Upland data points (UDP) and wetland data points (WDP) are established as required during the
field investigation. Vegetation, hydrology, and soils data is collected in the field according to
protocols established by the USACE and recorded on USACE Wetland Determination Data Forms
(Environmental Laboratory 1987). Photographs are taken at each data point. Data points and
wetland boundaries, if present, are collected with a handheld GPS device with sub-meter
accuracy and approved by a licensed surveyor. Data is postprocessed in ESRI ArcPro to analyze
and create maps.
4 RESULTS
4.1 Wetland Types and Boundaries
Two wetlands and one waterway transect the subject property (Appendix A, Figure 6).
Numerous City of Bozeman stormwater infrastructure components, including detention ponds
and gravity mains are also present (Appendix A, Figure 7). See Section 2.2.2 for a discussion of
mapped stormwater infrastructure on the property.
4.1.1 Wetland A
A loamy mucky mineral soil layer, saturation within the upper 12" of the soil profile, and
hydrophytic vegetation predominantly classified as OBL species characterizes Wetland A. This
freshwater emergent wetland fringes the waterway running north through the subject property.
Wetland indicators generally faded away with proximity from the stream and are strongest in
landscape depressions adjacent to the stream.
4.1.2 Wetland B
The presence of shrubs and trees distinguishes Wetland B from Wetland A; hydrology and
hydric soil indicators are similar. This freshwater emergent scrub-shrub wetland follows the
waterway on the northern section of the property.
4.1.3 Unnamed Tributary
The unnamed narrow (1-2 feet wide) waterway flowing through the subject property widens
slightly in landscape depressions, and before and after culvert in/outlets. Northward flow leaves
the subject property via a culvert underneath Parkway Avenue, emptying into a small
pond/collection system. This waterway is determined as an "unnamed tributary" by the Gallatin
Conservation District (Section 2.2.3).
6 � P a g e �� Morrison
� Maierle
4.2 Upland Areas
Delineation of upland boundaries primarily followed changes in soil conditions, hydrology; and
in some cases, shifts in topography. Many upland data points meet a hydrophytic vegetation
indicator due to widespread FAC vegetation throughout the investigation area.
4.3 Data Summary
The vegetation, hydrology, and soil characteristics at each of the 15 data points were
documented in the field and recorded on USACE Wetland Determination Data Forms for the
Western Mountains, Valleys, and Coast (USACE 2020). Table 2 summarizes all data points.
Appendix B contains the USACE data forms.

4.3.1 Vegetation
Vegetation communities were evaluated and documented to delineate wetland and upland
boundaries, where existing. The location of all data points is identified on Figure 6 (Appendix A).
5/6 wetland data points passed the rapid test for hydrophytic vegetation. The remaining
wetland data point passed both the dominance and prevalence indices. Dominant wetland plant
species include:
• Baltic rush (Juncus ba(ticus)
■ Broad leaf cattail (Typha (atifo(ia)
■ Reed canarygrass (Pha(aris arundinacea).
• Soft stem bulrush (Schoenop(ectus tabernaemontaini)
� � P a g e �� Morrison
� Maierle
" " ' '� ek V�' �Jand � '�neation 64;� "",
Lesser amounts of Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis), wild mint (Mentha arvensis), and field
horsetail (Equisetum arvense) were also common. Trees and shrubs within Wetland B were
primarily Bebb's willow (Sa(ix bebbiana) with lesser amounts of green alder (Afnus viridis).
4.3.2 Soil
Soils were analyzed in the field for texture and color using the Munsell Soil Color Charts
(Munsell 2009). Use of hydric soil indicators is described in Section 3.2.2.
No hydric soil indicators were observed at upland data points. Upland soils exhibit Mollic
epipedon characteristics common in agricultural fields in the Gallatin Valley. Soil colors are dark
at 10YR 2/1 with granular structure, high organic matter, and primarily loamy textures from 0-16
inches. Many fine roots and few medium roots occupied the upper 3-6 inches of the profiles
observed. Rounded rocks ranging from 1-6 inches in diameter were common after 14 inches.
Soils within Wetland A and Wetland B exhibited a thick mucky mineral layer in the upper 4-12
inches of the soil profile. This soil layer with fibrous material, greasy-feeling soil and organic
matter, and thickness >_4 inches starting within the upper 6 inches of the profile meets hydric
soil indicator F1 (Environmental Laboratory, 1987 and 2010). Further from the stream, soils
lacked a loamy mucky mineral layer, instead exhibiting dark surface soils above a depleted
layer with redox concentrations beginning at 13 inches.
4.3.3 Hydrology
Upland areas exhibited no hydrology indicators (Table 2).
Wetland data points close to the stream showed saturated soils and a high water table.
Further from the stream, a combination of secondary indicators of geomorphic position, FAC-
neutral test, and in some cases raised ant mounds, met wetland hydrology requirements.

5 CONCLUSION
Based on the wetland delineation presented in this report and the data collected, it is Morrison-
Maierle's professional judgement that wetlands and waterways exist within the project area. The
project area contains 1.63 acres of PEM1A wetland, 0.92 acres of PEM1SS, and
approximately 2,519 linear feet of an unnamed tributary. Figure 6 in Appendix A details the
investigation area and delineated features. Table 3, summarizes the wetlands delineated within
the project area.

**Water fines were gathered in the fiefd using a handhe(d GPS with sub-meter accuracy and
subsequent(y postprocessed and refined in ArcPro. However, due to extensive tree cover in the
northern section of the investigation area, these water fines may(ack precision. For the most
accurate bank fines and to assess any potentiaf impacts accuratefy, we recommend obtaining a
survey conducted by a (icensed surveyor.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
are the final authority over the jurisdictional status of both wetlands and waters of the U.S. per
Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. The findings discussed in this report are solely the opinion
of Morrison-Maierle and have not been verified by the aforementioned regulatory government
agencies.

Hi Faith. Here's what the team had to say:
I think the best course of action here is to identify the creek as an"unnamed tributary". The fact
that water was flowing there last week indicates that it is jurisdictionaL If Faith/Morrison-

Hi Becky,
Would you please verify the jurisdiction and identification of a water feature that passes
through the Meadow Creek development (see attached map)? The waterway enters the
property at 45.642101812127464, -111.06876072115588, near Blackwood Drive.
The waterway was flowing northwards when i visited the site last week. USGS maps the
feature as flowing into the Farmer's canal, north of the property.
Let me know if you need any more information or a site visit. Thank you!

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.nres.usda.gov/wps/
portal/nres/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=nres)or your NRCS State Soil
Scientist (http://www.nres.usda.gov/wps/portal/nres/detail/soils/contactus/?
cid=nres142p2_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
Custom Soil Resource Report
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 ineasurements 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
6

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,
11
Custom Soil Resource Report
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.

Soil Information for All Uses
Suitabilities and Limitations for Use
The Suitabilities and Limitations for Use section includes various soil interpretations
displayed as thematic maps with a summary table for the soil map units in the
selected area of interest. A single value or rating for each map unit is generated by
aggregating the interpretive ratings of individual map unit components. This
aggregation process is defined for each interpretation.
Land Classifications
Land Classifications are specified land use and management groupings that are
assigned to soil areas because combinations of soil have similar behavior for
specified practices. Most are based on soil properties and other factors that directly
influence the specific use of the soil. Example classifications include ecological site
classification, farmland classification, irrigated and nonirrigated land capability
classification, and hydric rating.
Hydric Rating by Map Unit (Meadow Creek)
This rating indicates the percentage of map units that meets the criteria for hydric
soils. Map units are composed of one or more map unit components or soil types,
each of which is rated as hydric soil or not hydric. Map units that are made up
dominantly of hydric soils may have small areas of minor nonhydric components in
the higher positions on the landform, and map units that are made up dominantly of
nonhydric soils may have small areas of minor hydric components in the lower
positions on the landform. Each map unit is rated based on its respective
components and the percentage of each component within the map unit.
The thematic map is color coded based on the composition of hydric components.
The five color classes are separated as 100 percent hydric components, 66 to 99
percent hydric components, 33 to 65 percent hydric components, 1 to 32 percent
hydric components, and less than one percent hydric components.
In Web Soil Survey, the Summary by Map Unit table that is displayed below the
map pane contains a column named 'Rating'. In this column the percentage of each
map unit that is classified as hydric is displayed.

Custom Soil Resource Report
Hydric soils are defined by the National Technical Committee for Hydric Soils
(NTCHS)as soils that formed under conditions of saturation, flooding, or ponding
long enough during the growing season to develop anaerobic conditions in the
upper part(Federal Register, 1994). Under natural conditions, these soils are either
saturated or inundated long enough during the growing season to support the
growth and reproduction of hydrophytic vegetation.
The NTCHS definition identifies general soil properties that are associated with
wetness. In order to determine whether a specific soil is a hydric soil or nonhydric
soil, however, more specific information, such as information about the depth and
duration of the water table, is needed. Thus, criteria that identify those estimated
soil properties unique to hydric soils have been established (Federal Register,
2002). These criteria are used to identify map unit components that normally are
associated with wetlands. The criteria used are selected estimated soil properties
that are described in "Soil Taxonomy" (Soil Survey Staff, 1999) and "Keys to Soil
Taxonomy" (Soil Survey Staff, 2006)and in the "Soil Survey Manual" (Soil Survey
Division Staff, 1993).
If soils are wet enough for a long enough period of time to be considered hydric,
they should exhibit certain properties that can be easily observed in the field. These
visible properties are indicators of hydric soils. The indicators used to make onsite
determinations of hydric soils are specified in "Field Indicators of Hydric Soils in the
United States" (Hurt and Vasilas, 2006).
