Manchester Gravelly Sandy Loam, 15 To 45 Percent Slopes This map unit is in the
Connecticut Valley Major Land Resource Area.The mean annual precipitation is ,
38 to 50 inches (965 to 1270 millimeters)and the average annual air temperature
is 45 to 52 degrees F.Q to 11 degrees C.)This map unit is 80 percent Manchester
soils.20 percent minor components. Manchester soils This component occurs on
valley outwash plain,terrace,kame,and esker landforms. The parent material ,
consists of sandy and gravelly glaciofluvial deposits derived from basalt,
sandstone,and shale.The slope ranges from 15 to 45 percent and the runoff class
is high. The depth to a restrictive feature is greater than 60 inches.The drainage ,
class is excessively drained.The slowest permeability within 60 inches is about
5.95.in/hr(rapid),with about 2.6 inches(low)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 greater than 6 feet.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 '
Capability Class is 7e Typical Profile: 0 to 9 inches;gravelly sandy loam 9 to 18
inches; gravelly loamy sand 18 to 65 inches;stratified extremely gravelly coarse
sand to very gravelly loamy sand ,
