A slight-moderate category limitation indicates that <br /> soil properties are favorable for development and the limiting factors can be overcome with <br /> minor considerations. A moderate category limitation indicates that soil properties and site <br /> features are not favorable for development but the limiting factors can be overcome or <br /> minimized by special planning and design. <br /> The soils on the site have been identified as Georgeville, Herndon and Tatum series. <br /> Georgeville soils are found over approximately seventy-five percent of the site and typically <br /> consist of a well-drained soil on broad ridges and upland areas.The Herndon soils are found <br /> in two areas of the site, roughly north and south of the existing lake.The Tatum soils are <br /> found primarily within the drainage depression east of the lake. Both the Georgeville and <br /> Herndon series typically exhibit a depth to bedrock greater than sixty inches and a depth to <br /> groundwater deeper than seventy-two inches.Tatum soils exhibit a depth to rock of <br /> approximately forty to sixty inches and a depth to the water table of between forty-eight and <br /> seventy-two inches. <br /> Shallow rock may be encountered in several areas of the site, thus, the depth of excavations <br /> within these areas should be minimized to reduce the potential for rock excavation.Trench <br /> excavation into partially-weathered rock or competent rock typically`requires blasting to <br /> expedite construction. <br /> ivleadawland5 <br /> 14 <br />
