• State and Locally Important Farmlands . These soils have either seasonal wetness , erosion or droughtiness that limits their suitability for some crops . Crops that are adapted to wet or droughty conditions , or if erosion is controlled, produce moderate to high yields if treated and managed according to modern farming methods . • Other Lands .These soils are generally not suited to crop production without applying extensive management . OTHER INFORMATION ided on Attachment I is a map showing the location of parcel and lot Property Prov Boundaries boundaries in relation to jurisdictional limits such as the Joint Planning Area (Rural Buffer) boundary, the original limits of the proposed I40/01d N . C . 86 Economic Development District , and the Town of Hillsborough ETJ boundary. Septic Tank Provided on Attachment J is a map showing the location of soils with severe Suitability limitations for septic tank absorption fields . These locations have been identified using the Soil Survey of Orange County, N. C. and represent generalized information only. A soils test by the Environmental Health Division is the only accurate basis for determining the reliability of soils for this purpose . Commercial The Soil Survey of Orange County, N. C. provides information concerning the Building degree and kind of soil limitations that affect small commercial buildings . The Limitations limitations shown on Attachment K represent where one or more soil properties or site features are so unfavorable as to require significant expenditures for design, construction, and/or maintenance . On- site soils testing is the only reliable basis for determining the presence of such limitations and the design, construction, and/or maintenance requirements needed to address such limitations when they are found to exist . COMPOSITE MAP Provided as Attachment L is a composite map which combines natural and cultural features such as slope , floodplains, natural areas and historic sites, and vegetative features to give some idea of the major constraints to economic development in the vicinity of the I= 40/01d N . C . 86 interchange . While vegetation ; e . g. , tree cover, is not a limiting feature like floodplains, it can serve a useful purpose in screening intense development and achieving a park-like setting.
