1Surface Texture: FSL=fine sandy loam; SL=sandy loam; SIL=silt loam; SICL=silty clay loam; SIC=silty clay; C=clay
2Hydrologic Soil Groups: A = High infiltration rates, soils are well to excessively drained sands and gravels
  B = Moderate infiltration rates, soils are moderately to well drained, with loamy textures
  C = Slow infiltration rates, soils have layers that impede downward movement of water
  D = Very slow infiltration rates, soils have clayey textures, or high water tables, or are shallow to impervious layers
3Available Water: Sum of all layers: average of inches per inch of soil
