Limerick And Lim Soils This.map unit is in the New England and Eastern New York
Upland, Southern Part Connecticut Valley Major Land Resource Area.The mean
annual precipitation is 32 to 50 inches(813 to 1270 millimeters)and the average
annual air temperature is 45 to 54 degrees F. (7 to 12 degrees C.)This map unit is
' 50 percent Limerick soils, 30 percent Lim soils. 20 percent minor components.
Limerick soils This component occurs on depression and flood plain landforms.The
parent material consists of silty alluvium.The slope ranges from 0 to 3 percent and
the runoff class is low. The depth to a restrictive feature is greater than 60 inches.
The drainage class is poorly drained.The slowest permeability within 60 inches is
about 0.57 in/hr(moderate),.with about 12.4 inches(very 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 frequent.The ponding
hazard is none. The minimum depth to a seasonal water table,when present, is
about 9.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 Capability Class is 4w Typical Profile: 0 to 8 inches;silt loam 8
to 20..inches; silt loam 20 to 36 inches;silt loam 36 to 54 inches; silt loam 54 to 65
inches; silt loam Lim soils This component occurs on depression and flood plain
landforms.The parent material consists of loamy alluvium.The slope ranges from
0 to 3 percent and the runoff class is low.The depth to a restrictive feature is greater
than 60 inches.The drainage class is poorly drained.The slowest permeability
within 60 inches is about 0.57 in/hr(moderate), with about 6.1 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
frequent. The ponding hazard is none.The minimum depth to a seasonal water
table,when present,is-about 9 inches.The maximum calcium carbonate within 40
inches is none.The rhaximum amount of salinity in any layer is about 0 mmhos/cm
(nonsaline).The Nonirrigated Land Capability Class is 4w Typical Profile:0 to 6
