Map Unit Description (Brief, Generated)
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 in this
report, 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.
The Map Unit Description (Brief, Generated)report displays a generated
description of the major soils that occur in a map unit. Descriptions of non-soil
(miscellaneous areas)and minor map unit components are not included. This
description is generated from the underlying soil attribute data.
Additional information about the map units described in this report is available in
other Soil Data Mart reports, which give properties of the soils and the limitations,
capabilities,and potentials for many uses.Also,the narratives that accompany the
Soil Data Mart reports define some of the properties included in the map unit
descriptions.

Roads and Streets,Shallow Excavations,and Lawns and Landscaping--Albemarle County,
Virginia CHO-Parking
Roads and Streets, Shallow Excavations, and Lawns and
Landscaping
Soil properties influence the development of building sites, including the selection
of the site,the design of the structure,construction,performance after construction,
and maintenance.This table shows the degree and kind of soil limitations that affect
local roads and streets, shallow excavations, and lawns and landscaping.
The ratings in the table are both verbal and numerical. Rating class terms indicate
the extent to which the soils are limited by all of the soil features that affect building
site development. Not limited indicates that the soil has features that are very
favorable for the specified use. Good performance and very low maintenance can
be expected. Somewhat limited indicates that the soil has features that are
moderately favorable for the specified use. The limitations can be overcome or
minimized by special planning, design, or installation. Fair performance and
moderate maintenance can be expected. Very limited indicates that the soil has
one or more features that are unfavorable for the specified use. The limitations
generally cannot be overcome without major soil reclamation, special design, or
expensive installation procedures. Poor performance and high maintenance can
be expected.
Numerical ratings in the table indicate the severity of individual limitations. The
ratings are shown as decimal fractions ranging from 0.01 to 1.00. They indicate
gradations between the point at which a soil feature has the greatest negative
impact on the use (1.00)and the point at which the soil feature is not a limitation
(0.00).
Local roads and streets have an all-weather surface and carry automobile and light
truck traffic all year.They have a subgrade of cut or fill soil material;a base of gravel,
crushed rock,or soil material stabilized by lime or cement;and a surface of flexible
material(asphalt),rigid material(concrete), or gravel with a binder.The ratings are
based on the soil properties that affect the ease of excavation and grading and the
traffic-supporting capacity. The properties that affect the ease of excavation and
grading are depth to bedrock or a cemented pan, hardness of bedrock or a
cemented pan, depth to a water table, ponding, flooding, the amount of large
stones,and slope.The properties that affect the traffic-supporting capacity are soil
strength (as inferred from the AASHTO group index number), subsidence, linear
extensibility(shrink-swell potential), the potential for frost action, depth to a water
table, and ponding.
Shallow excavations are trenches or holes dug to a maximum depth of 5 or 6 feet
for graves, utility lines, open ditches, or other purposes. The ratings are based on
the soil properties that influence the ease of digging and the resistance to sloughing.
Depth to bedrock or a cemented pan, hardness of bedrock or a cemented pan,the
amount of large stones,and dense layers influence the ease of digging,filling, and
compacting. Depth to the seasonal high water table, flooding, and ponding may
restrict the period when excavations can be made. Slope influences the ease of
using machinery. Soil texture, depth to the water table, and linear extensibility
(shrink-swell potential)influence the resistance to sloughing.

Lawns and landscaping require soils on which turf and ornamental trees and shrubs
can be established and maintained. Irrigation is not considered in the ratings. The
ratings are based on the soil properties that affect plant growth and trafficability
after vegetation is established.The properties that affect plant growth are reaction;
depth to a water table;ponding;depth to bedrock or a cemented pan;the available
water capacity in the upper 40 inches; the content of salts, sodium, or calcium
carbonate; and sulfidic materials.The properties that affect trafficability are
flooding,depth to a water table,ponding,slope,stoniness,and the amount of sand,
clay, or organic matter in the surface layer.
Information in this table is intended for land use planning,for evaluating land use
alternatives, and for planning site investigations prior to design and construction.
The information, however, has limitations. For example, estimates and other data
generally apply only to that part of the soil between the surface and a depth of 5 to
7 feet. Because of the map scale, small areas of different soils may be included
within the mapped areas of a specific soil.
The information is not site specific and does not eliminate the need for onsite
investigation of the soils or for testing and analysis by personnel experienced in the
design and construction of engineering works.
Government ordinances and regulations that restrict certain land uses or impose
specific design criteria were not considered in preparing the information in this table.
Local ordinances and regulations should be considered in planning, in site
selection, and in design.

Physical Soil Properties—Albemarle County,Virginia

Physical Soil Properties
This table shows estimates of some physical characteristics and features that affect
soil behavior. These estimates are given for the layers of each soil in the survey
area.The estimates are based on field observations and on test data for these and
similar soils.
Depth to the upper and lower boundaries of each layer is indicated.
Particle size is the effective diameter of a soil particle as measured by
sedimentation, sieving, or micrometric methods. Particle sizes are expressed as
classes with specific effective diameter class limits. The broad classes are sand,
silt, and clay, ranging from the larger to the smaller.
Sand as a soil separate consists of mineral soil particles that are 0.05 millimeter to
2 millimeters in diameter.In this table,the estimated sand content of each soil layer
is given as a percentage,by weight,of the soil material that is less than 2 millimeters
in diameter.
Silt as a soil separate consists of mineral soil particles that are 0.002 to 0.05
millimeter in diameter. In this table, the estimated silt content of each soil layer is
given as a percentage,by weight, of the soil material that is less than 2 millimeters
in diameter.
Clay as a soil separate consists of mineral soil particles that are less than 0.002
millimeter in diameter. In this table, the estimated clay content of each soil layer is
given as a percentage,by weight, of the soil material that is less than 2 millimeters
in diameter.
The content of sand, silt, and clay affects the physical behavior of a soil. Particle
size is important for engineering and agronomic interpretations, for determination
of soil hydrologic qualities, and for soil classification.
The amount and kind of clay affect the fertility and physical condition of the soil and
the ability of the soil to adsorb cations and to retain moisture.They influence shrink-
swell potential, saturated hydraulic conductivity(Ksat), plasticity, the ease of soil
dispersion, and other soil properties. The amount and kind of clay in a soil also
affect tillage and earthmoving operations.
Moist bulk density is the weight of soil (ovendry)per unit volume. Volume is
measured when the soil is at field moisture capacity, that is, the moisture content
at 1/3-or 1/10-bar(33kPa or 10kPa) moisture tension. Weight is determined after
the soil is dried at 105 degrees C. In the table, the estimated moist bulk density of
each soil horizon is expressed in grams per cubic centimeter of soil material that is
less than 2 millimeters in diameter. Bulk density data are used to compute linear
extensibility, shrink-swell potential, available water capacity, total pore space, and
other soil properties. The moist bulk density of a soil indicates the pore space
available for water and roots.Depending on soil texture,a bulk density of more than
1.4 can restrict water storage and root penetration. Moist bulk density is influenced
by texture, kind of clay, content of organic matter, and soil structure.

Physical Soil Properties--Albemarle County,Virginia CHO-Parking
Saturated hydraulic conductivity(Ksat) refers to the ease with which pores in a
saturated soil transmit water.The estimates in the table are expressed in terms of
micrometers per second.They are based on soil characteristics observed in the
field, particularly structure, porosity, and texture. Saturated hydraulic conductivity
(Ksat)is considered in the design of soil drainage systems and septic tank
absorption fields.
Available water capacity refers to the quantity of water that the soil is capable of
storing for use by plants.The capacity for water storage is given in inches of water
per inch of soil for each soil layer.The capacity varies,depending on soil properties
that affect retention of water.The most important properties are the content of
organic matter,soil texture,bulk density,and soil structure.Available water capacity
is an important factor in the choice of plants or crops to be grown and in the design
and management of irrigation systems.Available water capacity is not an estimate
of the quantity of water actually available to plants at any given time.
Linear extensibility refers to the change in length of an unconfined clod as moisture
content is decreased from a moist to a dry state. It is an expression of the volume
change between the water content of the clod at 1/3-or 1/10-bar tension(33kPa or
10kPa tension)and oven dryness.The volume change is reported in the table as
percent change for the whole soil.The amount and type of clay minerals in the soil
influence volume change.
Linear extensibility is used to determine the shrink-swell potential of soils.The
shrink-swell potential is low if the soil has a linear extensibility of less than 3 percent;
moderate if 3 to 6 percent;high if 6 to 9 percent;and very high if more than 9 percent.
If the linear extensibility is more than 3, shrinking and swelling can cause damage
to buildings, roads, and other structures and to plant roots. Special design
commonly is needed.
Organic matter is the plant and animal residue in the soil at various stages of
decomposition. In this table,the estimated content of organic matter is expressed
as a percentage, by weight, of the soil material that is less than 2 millimeters in
diameter.The content of organic matter in a soil can be maintained by returning
crop residue to the soil.
Organic matter has a positive effect on available water capacity,water infiltration,
soil organism activity,and tilth.It is a source of nitrogen and other nutrients for crops
and soil organisms.
Erosion factors are shown in the table as the K factor(Kw and Kf)and the T factor.
Erosion factor K indicates the susceptibility of a soil to sheet and rill erosion by
water.Factor K is one of six factors used in the Universal Soil Loss Equation(USLE)
and the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE)to predict the average
annual rate of soil loss by sheet and rill erosion in tons per acre per year. The
estimates are based primarily on percentage of silt,sand, and organic matter and
on soil structure and Ksat.Values of K range from 0.02 to 0.69.Other factors being
equal,the higher the value,the more susceptible the soil is to sheet and rill erosion
by water.
Erosion factor Kw indicates the erodibility of the whole soil. The estimates are
modified by the presence of rock fragments.
Erosion factor Kf indicates the erodibility of the fine-earth fraction, or the material
less than 2 millimeters in size.
Web Soil Survey 3/6/2014

CHO-Parking
Erosion factor T is an estimate of the maximum average annual rate of soil erosion
by wind and/or water that can occur without affecting crop productivity over a
sustained period. The rate is in tons per acre per year.
Wind erodibility groups are made up of soils that have similar properties affecting
their susceptibility to wind erosion in cultivated areas. The soils assigned to group
1 are the most susceptible to wind erosion, and those assigned to group 8 are the
least susceptible. The groups are described in the"National Soil Survey
Handbook."
Wind erodibility index is a numerical value indicating the susceptibility of soil to wind
erosion,or the tons per acre per year that can be expected to be lost to wind erosion.
There is a close correlation between wind erosion and the texture of the surface
layer, the size and durability of surface clods, rock fragments, organic matter, and
a calcareous reaction. Soil moisture and frozen soil layers also influence wind
erosion.

Soil Features
This table gives estimates of various soil features. The estimates are used in land
use planning that involves engineering considerations.
A restrictive layer is a nearly continuous layer that has one or more physical,
chemical, or thermal properties that significantly impede the movement of water
and air through the soil or that restrict roots or otherwise provide an unfavorable
root environment. Examples are bedrock, cemented layers, dense layers, and
frozen layers.The table indicates the hardness and thickness of the restrictive layer,
both of which significantly affect the ease of excavation.Depth to top is the vertical
distance from the soil surface to the upper boundary of the restrictive layer.
Subsidence is the settlement of organic soils or of saturated mineral soils of very
low density. Subsidence generally results from either desiccation and shrinkage,
or oxidation of organic material,or both,following drainage.Subsidence takes place
gradually, usually over a period of several years. The table shows the expected
initial subsidence,which usually is a result of drainage,and total subsidence,which
results from a combination of factors.
Potential for frost action is the likelihood of upward or lateral expansion of the soil
caused by the formation of segregated ice lenses(frost heave)and the subsequent
collapse of the soil and loss of strength on thawing. Frost action occurs when
moisture moves into the freezing zone of the soil. Temperature, texture, density,
saturated hydraulic conductivity(Ksat), content of organic matter, and depth to the
water table are the most important factors considered in evaluating the potential for
frost action. It is assumed that the soil is not insulated by vegetation or snow and
is not artificially drained. Silty and highly structured, clayey soils that have a high
water table in winter are the most susceptible to frost action. Well drained, very
gravelly, or very sandy soils are the least susceptible. Frost heave and low soil
strength during thawing cause damage to pavements and other rigid structures.
Risk of corrosion pertains to potential soil-induced electrochemical or chemical
action that corrodes or weakens uncoated steel or concrete. The rate of corrosion
of uncoated steel is related to such factors as soil moisture, particle-size
distribution, acidity, and electrical conductivity of the soil. The rate of corrosion of
concrete is based mainly on the sulfate and sodium content, texture, moisture
content,and acidity of the soil.Special site examination and design may be needed
if the combination of factors results in a severe hazard of corrosion.The steel or
concrete in installations that intersect soil boundaries or soil layers is more
susceptible to corrosion than the steel or concrete in installations that are entirely
within one kind of soil or within one soil layer.
For uncoated steel, the risk of corrosion, expressed as low, moderate, or high, is
based on soil drainage class,total acidity, electrical resistivity near field capacity,
and electrical conductivity of the saturation extract.
For concrete, the risk of corrosion also is expressed as low, moderate, or high. It
is based on soil texture, acidity, and amount of sulfates in the saturation extract.
