Whereslopes are not limiting, the silty surficial texture provides moderate limitations fo rrecreational uses and potential frost heaving results in moderate to severe limitation sfor building foundations and roads .OL2 Map Unit (Gleyed Melanic and Gleyed Eutric Brunisols )This map unis is characterized by soils which have developed on imperfectl ydrained, calcareous, medium textured till . A silty surficial deposit is often presen tover the compact till . Textures are generally silt loam and coarse fragment contentsare variable, increasing at depth . These soils are commonly found at the bottoms oflong slopes where they are subject to seepage and hence the imperfectly draine dconditions . Mottles are generally present in the B horizon . Due to the moist conditions,a thick L-F-H horizon and an Ah horizon are usually present .
