PrefaceSoil surveys contain information that affects land use planning in survey areas.They highlight soil limitations that affect various land uses and provide informationabout the properties of the soils in the survey areas. Soil surveys are designed formany different users, including farmers, ranchers, foresters, agronomists, urbanplanners, community officials, engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers.Also, conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation, wastedisposal, and pollution control can use the surveys to help them understand,protect, or enhance the environment.
Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may imposespecial restrictions on land use or land treatment. Soil surveys identify soilproperties that are used in making various land use or land treatment decisions.The information is intended to help the land users identify and reduce the effects ofsoil limitations on various land uses. The landowner or user is responsible foridentifying and complying with existing laws and regulations.
Although soil survey information can be used for general farm, local, and wider areaplanning, onsite investigation is needed to supplement this information in somecases. Examples include soil quality assessments (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/main/soils/health/) and certain conservation and engineeringapplications. For more detailed information, contact your local USDA Service Center(https://offices.sc.egov.usda.gov/locator/app?agency=nrcs) or your NRCS State SoilScientist (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/detail/soils/contactus/?cid=nrcs142p2_053951).
Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances. Some soils areseasonally wet or subject to flooding. Some are too unstable to be used as afoundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils are poorly suited to use asseptic tank absorption fields. A high water table makes a soil poorly suited tobasements or underground installations.
The National Cooperative Soil Survey is a joint effort of the United StatesDepartment of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including theAgricultural Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The Natural ResourcesConservation Service (NRCS) has leadership for the Federal part of the NationalCooperative Soil Survey.
Information about soils is updated periodically. Updated information is availablethrough the NRCS Web Soil Survey, the site for official soil survey information.

How Soil Surveys Are MadeSoil surveys are made to provide information about the soils and miscellaneousareas in a specific area. They include a description of the soils and miscellaneousareas and their location on the landscape and tables that show soil properties andlimitations affecting various uses. Soil scientists observed the steepness, length,and shape of the slopes; the general pattern of drainage; the kinds of crops andnative plants; and the kinds of bedrock. They observed and described many soilprofiles. A soil profile is the sequence of natural layers, or horizons, in a soil. Theprofile extends from the surface down into the unconsolidated material in which thesoil formed or from the surface down to bedrock. The unconsolidated material isdevoid of roots and other living organisms and has not been changed by otherbiological activity.
Currently, soils are mapped according to the boundaries of major land resourceareas (MLRAs). MLRAs are geographically associated land resource units thatshare common characteristics related to physiography, geology, climate, waterresources, soils, biological resources, and land uses (USDA, 2006). Soil surveyareas typically consist of parts of one or more MLRA.
The soils and miscellaneous areas in a survey area occur in an orderly pattern thatis related to the geology, landforms, relief, climate, and natural vegetation of thearea. Each kind of soil and miscellaneous area is associated with a particular kindof landform or with a segment of the landform. By observing the soils andmiscellaneous areas in the survey area and relating their position to specificsegments of the landform, a soil scientist develops a concept, or model, of how theywere formed. Thus, during mapping, this model enables the soil scientist to predictwith a considerable degree of accuracy the kind of soil or miscellaneous area at aspecific location on the landscape.
Commonly, individual soils on the landscape merge into one another as theircharacteristics gradually change. To construct an accurate soil map, however, soilscientists must determine the boundaries between the soils. They can observe onlya limited number of soil profiles. Nevertheless, these observations, supplementedby an understanding of the soil-vegetation-landscape relationship, are sufficient toverify predictions of the kinds of soil in an area and to determine the boundaries.
Soil scientists recorded the characteristics of the soil profiles that they studied. Theynoted soil color, texture, size and shape of soil aggregates, kind and amount of rockfragments, distribution of plant roots, reaction, and other features that enable themto identify soils. After describing the soils in the survey area and determining theirproperties, the soil scientists assigned the soils to taxonomic classes (units).Taxonomic classes are concepts. Each taxonomic class has a set of soilcharacteristics with precisely defined limits. The classes are used as a basis forcomparison to classify soils systematically. Soil taxonomy, the system of taxonomicclassification used in the United States, is based mainly on the kind and characterof soil properties and the arrangement of horizons within the profile. After the soil
5
scientists classified and named the soils in the survey area, they compared theindividual soils with similar soils in the same taxonomic class in other areas so thatthey could confirm data and assemble additional data based on experience andresearch.
The objective of soil mapping is not to delineate pure map unit components; theobjective is to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments thathave similar use and management requirements. Each map unit is defined by aunique combination of soil components and/or miscellaneous areas in predictableproportions. Some components may be highly contrasting to the other componentsof the map unit. The presence of minor components in a map unit in no waydiminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The delineation of suchlandforms and landform segments on the map provides sufficient information for thedevelopment of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, onsiteinvestigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas.
Soil scientists make many field observations in the process of producing a soil map.The frequency of observation is dependent upon several factors, including scale ofmapping, intensity of mapping, design of map units, complexity of the landscape,and experience of the soil scientist. Observations are made to test and refine thesoil-landscape model and predictions and to verify the classification of the soils atspecific locations. Once the soil-landscape model is refined, a significantly smallernumber of measurements of individual soil properties are made and recorded.These measurements may include field measurements, such as those for color,depth to bedrock, and texture, and laboratory measurements, such as those forcontent of sand, silt, clay, salt, and other components. Properties of each soiltypically vary from one point to another across the landscape.
Observations for map unit components are aggregated to develop ranges ofcharacteristics for the components. The aggregated values are presented. Directmeasurements do not exist for every property presented for every map unitcomponent. Values for some properties are estimated from combinations of otherproperties.
While a soil survey is in progress, samples of some of the soils in the area generallyare collected for laboratory analyses and for engineering tests. Soil scientistsinterpret the data from these analyses and tests as well as the field-observedcharacteristics and the soil properties to determine the expected behavior of thesoils under different uses. Interpretations for all of the soils are field tested throughobservation of the soils in different uses and under different levels of management.Some interpretations are modified to fit local conditions, and some newinterpretations are developed to meet local needs. Data are assembled from othersources, such as research information, production records, and field experience ofspecialists. For example, data on crop yields under defined levels of managementare assembled from farm records and from field or plot experiments on the samekinds of soil.
Predictions about soil behavior are based not only on soil properties but also onsuch variables as climate and biological activity. Soil conditions are predictable overlong periods of time, but they are not predictable from year to year. For example,soil scientists can predict with a fairly high degree of accuracy that a given soil willhave a high water table within certain depths in most years, but they cannot predictthat a high water table will always be at a specific level in the soil on a specific date.
After soil scientists located and identified the significant natural bodies of soil in thesurvey area, they drew the boundaries of these bodies on aerial photographs and

identified each as a specific map unit. Aerial photographs show trees, buildings,fields, roads, and rivers, all of which help in locating boundaries accurately.

Map Unit DescriptionsThe map units delineated on the detailed soil maps in a soil survey represent thesoils or miscellaneous areas in the survey area. The map unit descriptions, alongwith the maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit.
A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or moremajor kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and namedaccording to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomicclass there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On thelandscape, however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have thecharacteristic variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of someobserved properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class.Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mapped withoutincluding areas of other taxonomic classes. Consequently, every map unit is madeup of the soils or miscellaneous areas for which it is named and some minorcomponents that belong to taxonomic classes other than those of the major soils.
Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in themap unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are callednoncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in aparticular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have propertiesand behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require differentmanagement. These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. Theygenerally are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of thescale used. Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areasare identified by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for agiven area, the contrasting minor components are identified in the map unitdescriptions along with some characteristics of each. A few areas of minorcomponents may not have been observed, and consequently they are notmentioned in the descriptions, especially where the pattern was so complex that itwas impractical to make enough observations to identify all the soils andmiscellaneous areas on the landscape.
Custom Soil Resource Report
12
The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes theusefulness or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineatepure taxonomic classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms orlandform segments that have similar use and management requirements. Thedelineation of such segments on the map provides sufficient information for thedevelopment of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, however,onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneousareas.
An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions.Each description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soilproperties and qualities.
Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soil series. Except fordifferences in texture of the surface layer, all the soils of a series have majorhorizons that are similar in composition, thickness, and arrangement.
Soils of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope, stoniness,salinity, degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use. On thebasis of such differences, a soil series is divided into soil phases. Most of the areasshown on the detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. The name of a soil phasecommonly indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example, Alphasilt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the Alpha series.
Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas.These map units are complexes, associations, or undifferentiated groups.
A complex consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an intricatepattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps.The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similarin all areas. Alpha-Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an example.
An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils ormiscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of presentor anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not consideredpractical or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. Thepattern and relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhatsimilar. Alpha-Beta association, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areasthat could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similarinterpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and proportionof the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform. An area canbe made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it can be madeup of all of them. Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
Some surveys include miscellaneous areas. Such areas have little or no soilmaterial and support little or no vegetation. Rock outcrop is an example.

Subject: Formal Site Plan Review Application and Conditional Use Permit Application.
Dear Ms. Eyerman,
Attached please find an original and 18 copies of Cloutier Landscaping’s Application (Cloutier) for
Formal Site Plan Review. This project is for an existing business on an adjacent parcel with no net
increase in public utility services. We are submitting the Application today, August 28, 2017 with the
intention of attending the September 5, 2017 Planning Board meeting. Application Fees of $350.00 for
Site Plan, $150.00 for Conditional Use and Escrow Fee of $1,200.00 are enclosed.
Highlights are as follows:
Cloutier is planning a Low Impact Development (LID) as defined in Chapter 3 of the Maine Department
of Environmental Protection Best Management Practices Design Manual. LID features include:
1. Selection of an architectural style that has been selected to be compatible with the rural
residential neighborhood that includes maximum screening from neighbors with existing
mature trees and vegetation.
2. Maximum maintenance of existing vegetation with no mature tree cutting and minimal
clearing of grasses and scrub shrub vegetation.
3. Lot coverage is approximately 5% and reutilization of existing disturbed areas.
4. No net increase in impervious surface. Existing sheds to be removed.
5. Access is by an existing, compacted gravel driveway via a 50 foot compacted gravel Right of
Way.
6. Site is currently used for landscape materials storage. Exposed ledge adjacent to proposed
parking.
7. Area to be developed is currently cleared and is on filled compacted gravel.
8. No basic changes from existing drainage features, culverts and slopes for stormwater
management. On site drainage will remain via natural drainage swales protected by organic
mulch berm down slope from proposed garage. Roof and entrance pad to be served by an
infiltration drip edge drainage system.
9. No floor drains inside garage and on site sanitary and gray water systems.
10. Underground electric service.
11. On site drilled well.
12. Contained and covered motor fuel storage with NFPA Code fire protection.
13. Minimal lighting for security and safety with building mounted, cut-off luminaire wall packs
and less than 0.5 foot-candles of off-site impact.

14. Solid waste will be collected in a dumpster for disposal off-site and located in the vicinity of
the existing shed and storage trailer that will be removed. No net increase in solid waste
volume.
15. Gated access and no regular public or pedestrian access.
We look forward to reviewing the Formal Site Plan with you and the Planning Board on September 5,
2017.
