These soils have sandy loam to loam textures, generall ycontain less than 30% coarse fragments, and are well drained . Ae horizons areusually present and the depth to free lime is often 1 to 2 meters . Moderately wel lto imperfectly drained inclusions occur along the west side of Cataract Brook .Table 16 .
