Ninigret And Tisbury Soils,0 To 5 Percent Slopes This map unit is in the
Connecticut Valley Major Land Resource Area.The mean annual precipitation is
35 to 50 inches(889 to 1270 millimeters)and the average annual air temperature
is 45 to 52 degrees F. (7 to 11 degrees C.)This map unit is 60 percent Ninigret
' soils,25 percent Tisbury soils. 15 percent minor components. Ninigret soils This
component occurs on valley and outwash plain terrace landforms. The parent
material consists of eolian deposits over glaciofluvial deposits derived from schist, .
granite, and gneiss.The slope ranges from 0 to 5 percent and the runoff class is
' very low.The depth to a restrictive feature is greater than 60 inches.The drainage
class is moderately well drained.The slowest permeability within 60 inches is about
0.57 in/hr(moderate),with about 6.2 inches(high)available water capacity.The
' weighted average shrink-swell potential in 10 to 60 inches is about-1.5 LEP(low).
The flooding frequency for this component.is none.The ponding hazard is none.
The minimum depth to a seasonal water table,when present, is about 24 inches.
' The maximum calcium carbonate within 40 inches is none. The maximum amount
of salinity in any layer is about 0 mmhos/cm(nonsaline). The Nonirrigated Land .
