Introduction <br /> The proposed plat is located between County Road H2 on the south, Long <br /> Lake Road on the east, Silver Lake Road on the west and S.T.H. 10 to the <br /> north; specifically, the northeast quarter of section 7, T 30N, R•23W, <br /> This report inventories and evaluates the existing soil and water <br /> resources of the development area. Issues discussed are soils and the suit- <br /> ability for development, potential for erosion and evaluation of existing and <br /> planned drainage patterns. Where necessary, specific suggestions to minimize <br /> erosion, hydrologic and developmental problems are suggested. <br /> II. Inventory and Evaluation of Existing Resources <br /> • <br /> The general landscape of the proposed plat area is gently rolling, level <br /> and depressional . The coarse textured outwash soils of the level to gently <br /> rolling landscapes range from excessively drained to very poorly drained <br /> depending upon their relation to the water table. Soils in the depressional <br /> areas are organic in nature with the high water table at or near the soil <br /> surface. For ease of interpretation, I have divided the proposed plat area <br /> into six mapping units. Mapping units are drawn on the plat plan. A cross <br /> sectional view of soil mapping units in their relation to the topography may <br /> be seen in Appendix A. <br /> Soils mapping units are based on field survey to the smallest unit of 2.5 <br /> acres. Within any given mapping unit, it is possible to have errors and several <br /> soil variations not shown or indicated on soil survey map or mapping unit nar- <br /> ration. Soils delineations in this report should be used only for general land <br /> use planning. Specific soil properties should be evaluated by a competent soil <br /> engineer. <br /> Soils: <br /> Zimmerman loamy fine sand: <br /> This is a level to gently sloping excessively drained soil found on convex <br /> knolls and side slopes of glacial outwash lake plains.
