Non-Agricultural Land Uses Part 5 of Soil Card You will be told how many to mark for this section Consider the same soil properties as you did when selecting an agricultural use

Septic Tank Disposal Field Septic Tank: holds and distributes human waste into the soil Backups cause sewage water to seep/flood into lawns Select only if: Slope is level to moderate (0-12%) Medium to Moderately coarse and bright subsoil No wet spots or seasonal flooding problem

Streets and Roads Select only if: Slope is level to moderate (0-12%) Coarse or Moderately coarse and bright subsoil No wet spots or seasonal flooding problem

Playgrounds Select only if: Regular slope that is level to gently sloping (0-6%) Moderately coarse surface soil Medium to Moderately coarse and bright subsoil Should not have a stony problem

Paths, Trails, and Golf Courses Select only if: Slope is level to strongly sloping (0-18%) Fine to Moderately coarse texture Bright or mottled subsoil Scattered stony, drainage, wet spots, or seasonal flooding problems

Woodland Wildlife Area Select only if: Slope is level to strongly sloping (0-18%) Medium to Moderately coarse surface soil texture Bright or mottled subsoils Area should already be a woodland or have woodland marked as agricultural land use (part 3)

Open Land Wildlife Area Select only if: Slope is level to strongly sloping (0-18%) Medium to Moderately coarse textured surface soil May have any color subsoil May have seasonal flooding problems

Wet Land Wildlife Area Select only if: Regular slope that is nearly level (0-2%) Fine to Moderately coarse surface texture Dull subsoils Should have areas of standing water with a drainage problem May have seasonal flooding

Excavated pond Select only if: Regular slope that is nearly level (0-2%) Dull subsoils May have seasonal flooding, permeability, and drainage problems
