1 2017 STATE ENR DATA INTERPRETATION Instructions: You are provided a section of land, illustrated in the attached soil map. Characteristics of each of the soil series listed on the map are provided in the attached Table of Soil Characteristics. You are also provided with a list of criteria for installation of various structures and farming practices on this land. Answer the following questions by comparing the information in the Criteria for Installation tables against information in the Table of Soil Characteristics. Feel free to separate pages to examine tables better. 1. One which soil could you install either a septic tank mound or a septic tank leaching chamber to treat waste water? a. Mo b. Koray silt c. Lovelady y sand d. Herty 2. On which soil could none of the listed septic systems be safely installed? a. Kurth (KuB) b. Mo c. Penning very d. Lovelady y sand 3. What is the most limiting factor restricting building construction in this location? a. Slope b. groundwater c. restrictive layer d. Type of clay 4. On which of the following soils could a slab building safely be built? a. Rosewall b. Penning very c. Moten-multey complex d. Herty 5. On which of the following soils could you install a pond without limitations? a. Pophers silty clay b. Fuller c. Kurth d. Rosenwall 6. In this area, what is the primary factor that determines the ability to install a pond? a. Soil chemistry b. Shrink- soil c. Flooding d. restrictive layer

2 7. On which of the following soils could you apply manure with least restrictions? a. KuB b. LvC c. HeB d. PeB 8. Which of the following soils can be used without restriction for grazing but not for tillage? a. Fuller b. Kurth c. Mo d. Lovelady y sand 9. In the symbol for the soil, what do the letters B, C, and D represent, as in LvC? a. restrictive layer b. Prime farmland c. Slope d. Runoff 10. What is the characteristic that is most common among the soils in this location? a. Steep slope b. Acid soil chemistry c. Shallow depth to restrictive layer d. Prime farmland
