SOIL SURVEY

-152-The soils have been rated according to their limitations for playgrounds, campin gareas, picnic areas, paths and trails, septic tank absorption fields, buildings wit hand without basements, and local roads and streets (Table 67) .None to Slight Limitations .All of the soil properties are essentially suited for the proposed use . Limitationsare minor and can easily be overcome . Minimal construction costs, low maintenanceand minimal environmental damage can be expected with proper management .Moderate Soil Limitations .These soils have one or more properties which are only moderately suitable fo rthe proposed use . These limitations can be overcome or modified with special construction,design, planning or maintenance . During some seasons of the year, the performanceof the structure or other planned use, may be somewhat less than desirable for soil swith slight limitations . Some soils with a moderate rating may require treatment such asdrainage, runoff control to reduce erosion, additions to topsoil, or some modificatio nof certain soil features through soil manipulation . Construction plans may also need tobe modified from those normally used for soils with slight limitations . These mayinclude special foundations, extra reinforcement of structures, sump pumps, or otherauxiliary equipment or procedures .Severe Soil Limitations .These soils have one or more properties which present a severe limitation fo rthe proposed use . Some soils which are rated as severe can be improved by reducin gor removing the soil feature that limits its use, but in most situations, it is difficult an dcostly to alter the soil or design the facility to compensate for severe limitations .Very Severe Soil Limitations .These soils have one or more properties which are so unfavourable for th eproposed use that the soil cannot physically be used for that use or it is thought t obe economically impractical to do so .
