P. INTRODUCTION
This report and map have been prepared as an interim document to enable the Sask- atchewan Institute of Pedology to make available pertinent soil data and interpretive soil information for this municipality. A final report and maps, which will include this and other data, are being produced and published. The final report and accompanying maps will not, however, be available for three to five years.
The information presented within this report is designed for the interpretation of various soil and landscape properties that may benefit planning and land management within the municipality. Due to the preliminary nature of this report, the final soil rnap and interpretive . data may be slightiy altered before the final publication is printed.

HOW TO USE THIS MAP AND REPORT - THESOIL MAP - The soil map, contained in the back cover of this report, shows al1 soil areas delineated during the mapping of the municipality. The soils, and some of theirproperties, are represented - on the map by a series of symbols that identify the kinds and distribution of the component soils within each delineation. This symbol sequence is illustrated below.
Soil Association: Delineation No.: (302) TiE d (Tisdale-Eldersley)
bd3dsoiiMap Unit No.: (3) SlopeClass: 2 (0.5-2% dopes) Surface Texture: SiCL-Sic (silty Clay loam to Surface Form: ud silty Clay) (undulating, dissected)
The soil association and map unit (eg,TiEd3) indicate the types of soils present within the delineation. A description of these soils is presented in Section 7 entitled, “Soil Map Unit Descriptions”. An explanation of the symbols for surface form, slope class and surface texture - is presented in Section 4 entitled, “Explanation of The Map Symbol”.

OTHERINTERPRETATIONS
The final report will include a series of interpretive maps that will provide information on such aspects of soils as salinity, irrigation suitability, agricultural capability, stoniness, wetlands and drainage, surface pH, wind and water erosion, and sand and grave1 occurrences. This information is also provided in this report, but in a tabular rather than map form. This information can be obtained by determining the delineation number from the soi1 map and referring to Section 8 for alisting of the symbols. Then, by referring to the appropriate subsection in Section 5 entitled, “Soil Interpretation Symbols”, an explanation of the symbols can be obtained.
EXAMPLE
If one wanted to know the agricultural capability classification for area 302 (used in example on previous page), turn to Section 8 and look up the number 302 lis ted in the left-hand column under the heading, “Delineation Number”, then read across to the symbols listed in the column headed, “Agricultural Capability”. There, the symbols 1(5)2(4)D5(1)W occur. Then, turn to Subsection 5.3, entitled, “Agricultural Capability”, for an explanation of these symbols. From this explanation, it can be ascertained that 50% of the area has been rated Class 1and has no significantlimitations, 40% of the area has beenratedclass 2 because of structure limitations, and 10% of the area has been rated Class 5 because of excess wetness.

- Hummock y . Landscapes with a complex pattern of generally short, steep slopes extending from prominent knolls to somewhat rounded depressions or kettles are termed hummocky. They are called hummocky dissected where shallow gullies join one low area or kettle to the next. Occasionally, areas have a complex of ridged and hummocky features. They are called hummocky-ridged.
Inclined Landscapes in which the general slope is in one direction, only, are called inclined. Where shallow gullies occur along the slope, the areas are called inclined dissected; where a series of parallel or subparallel, deep gullies or ravines occur, they are called inclined gullied. Along flood plains of rivers and streams where the inclined surface is broken by abandoned river channels they are called inclined channelled.
Level Landscapes that are flat or have very gently sloping surfaces are said to be level. Along floodplains of rivers and streams where the level surface is broken by abandoned river channels they are called level channelled.
Ridged Landscapes that have a linear pattern, usually of short and straight parallel ridges but sometimes a single, sinuous ndge or a series of intersecting ridges are termed ridged.
Rolling Landscapes that are charactenzed by a regular sequence of moderate slopes extending from rounded, sometimes confined, concave depressions to broad, rounded convexities produc- ing a wavelike pattern of moderate relief are tenned rolling.
Terraced Areas, usually along a Valley, that have a steep, short scarp slope and a horizontal or gently inciined surface above it are cailed terraced.
Undulating Landscapes that are characterized by a sequence of gentle slopes extending from smooth rises to gentle hoilows, that impart a wavelike pattern to the land surface are called undulating. Where shallow gullies extend from one low area to the next in these landscapes they are called undulating dissected and where the undulating surface is broken by abandoned river channels they are called undulating channelled. Where a series of parallel or subparallel, deep gullies or ravine$ occur, they are calied undulating gullied.

Horizontal Organic landscapes with flat peat surfaces that are not broken by marked elevations and depressions. On a microtopographic scale the surface may be very hummocky with local topography of up to 0.6 m (2 ft.). Where very low ridges occur on these level landscapes, they are called horizontal-ribbed.
Ribbed Organic landscapes with generally flat peat surfaces that have a pattern of very low parallel or reticulate ridges. They are generally associated with Sedge Peats.
4.3 SURFACETEXTURE
SOILTEXTURE
A mineral soil is a mixture of various-sized mineral particles, decaying organic matter, air and water. The mineral particles, exclusive of Stones and gravel, may be grouped into three particle-sizefractions; San& (the largest or coarsest), siits, and clays (the smallest or finest). The relative proportions of these particle-size fractions in a soil detemine its texture. Thus, Sand, when dominant, yields a sandy- or coarse-textured soil, whereas a fine-textured soil is made up largely of silt and Clay. The terms ‘light’ and ‘heavy’, often used to refer to sandy- and clayey- textured soils, respectively, are actually a measure of the power required to till the soil and were onginally related to the number of horses required to pull the plough -light or sandy land was described as one-horse land, and heavy land as four-horse land. These terms have nothing to do with the actual weight of soil, as a given volume of dry Sand actually weighs slightly more than that of Clay.
Saskatchewan Soi1 Survey. Page 5 - Surface Texture, Cont.
- Textural class names such as sandy loam, Clay loam, heavy Clay and the like are given to soils based upon the relative proportions of Sand, silt and Clay. Three broad, yet fundamental, textural groups are recognized: sands, loams and clays.
SANDS - The Sand group includes soils in which the Sand particles make up at least 70% of the material by weight. Two main classes are recognized: Sand and loamy Sand.
CLAYS - The Clay group contains at least 35% Clay, and in most cases more than 40%. Class names are: sandy Clay, silty Clay, Clay and heavy Clay. Soils of this group are often called ‘gumbo’.
LOAMS - The loam group is intermediate in texture between the coarse- textured sands and the fine-textured clays, and usually contaias a significant proportion of each particle-size fraction. Class names include: sandy loam, silt loam, silty Clay loam, sandy Clay loam, Clay loam and loam.

Saskatchewan Soil Survey. Page 7 - 5. SOIL INTERPRETATION SYMBOLS 5.1 SALINITY
A saline soil is a soil with sufficient amounts of water soluble salts to inhibit the uptake of moisture by plants. This inhibition of water uptake results in moisture stress and reduced plant growth. The most common soluble salts in Saskatchewan soils are magnesium and sodium sulfates. Calcium sulfates also occur but are not as easily dissolved and are less harmful. Calcium, magnesium and sodium chlorides may also be present. Thepresence of saline soils can often be recognized by bare spots in the crop or as uneven stands of grain or forage. Very strongly saline soils usually develop a white surface crust dunng dry weather. Where Iess Salt is present, the soil is grayish in color when dry and the subsoil often has streaks or specks of Salt at a depth of 530 25 cm (2 to 10 in.) or deeper. In some cases, it may not be possible to see the sait and a soil analysis must be carried out.
MANAGEMENTOF SALINE SOILS
Saline soiis should be managed in such a way as to either prevent further spread or intensification of the problem, or, where possible, to reclaim land which has already become salinized. Since most of the salinity is the result of groundwater movement, the key to control lies in the effective management of groundwater flow and water table levels. One method of achieving this objective is to use precipitation where it falls preventing it from entering the groundwater system. Extending the cropping rotation in saline areas will cycle more precipita- tion through crops rather than allowing it to reach the water table. This practice is most effective in areas of recharge where water that reaches the water table is very often responsible for soil salinization on lower slopes, Saline soils should be croppedcontinuouslyor seeded to long-terni forage crops. High moisture use crops will intercept incoming groundwater and may lower the water table. Crop production on saline soils may also be improved by using farmyard manure or green manure, growing salt-tolerant crops and improving surface or subsoil drainage. Fertilizer may help if soils are weakiy or moderately saline. The choice of crops which can be grown on saline soils should be based on a soil test. It must be recognized, however, that, even though a crop is considered to be tolerant to a specific degree of salinity, some yield reduction can be expected. On some soils, the use of subsurface drainage installations may be effective in lowering the water table and reducing soil salinity. These drainage installations are most effective in relatively permeable materials affected by shallow water tables. Subsurface drainage may be costly and potential sites need to be studied and water tables monitored for a period of time to determine the feasibility of this drainage method to produce the desired results. - Drainage of water ponded in sloughs may be beneficial in controlling soil salinity. In some areas, the source of water entering the shallow groundwater flow systems is the water ponded in these sloughs. Drainage of any type, however, requires an approved permit. In - Saskatchewan, anyone installing drainage works may be held responsible for any subsequent damage caused by the drained water.

LANDSCAPEPOSITION
P Saline soils occur on the edges of depressions, sloughs or runways. Al1 soils in the bottoms of the depressions are leached and nonsaline. These areas generally occur on relatively level or very gentle regional slopes.
A Saline soils occur throughout the bottoms of depressions and sloughs. Salinity may extend out from the slough or depression but is generally the strongest in the most low- lying areas of the landscape.
D Saline soils extend throughout the bottoms of dissections and small runways in the landscape. It is very similar to class A, however, it is restricted to soil areas which have dissections andor runways.
S Saline soils occur on the sides of hills and slopes well above any slough or depression. The occurrence of salinity is controlled by stratigraphic differences in the surficial materials.
1 Saline soil materials generally occur on knolls and upper slopes. In these areas, salts occur below the A horizon due to insufficient infiltration of precipitation to leach the salts out of the root zone. In some areas, erosion has removed sufficient topsoil to expose saline soil or to cause saline soils to be nearer the surface. Salts in these areas are usually of weak degree and are at or slightly higher than the degree of natural salts occurring in the parent material. Saskatchewan Soil Survey. Page 10 - 5.2 IRRIGATION SUITABIL~Y
INTRODUCTION
The irrigation suitability rating is based on measured or interpreted soil and landscape characteristics described on the map and in the vax-ious sections of this report. The suitability rating uses limiting factors to predict the potential landscape-water-crop interaction. It also considers the potential long-tenn consequences of irrigation such that the soil will remain permanently productive while being irrigated. It does not consider water availability and quality, climate, or economics. Within any one map delineation there may be smaller soil areas which have higher or lower irrigation suitability than that indicated by the map symbol. Any decision regarding irrigation should only be made after a field-specific examination is made.

LANDSCAPE LIMITATIONS
Symbol Description
t Slope - refers to the presence of simple slopes (t,) in undulating landscapes, or complex slopes (5) in hummocky or inclined landscapes. Complex slopes are often more limiting than simple slopes. Topography may affect the type of irrigation system, design and management required.
P Stones - refers to the amount of stonepresent on the surface and in the soil. Stones may reduce the available water-holding capacity of the soil, increase development costs and restrict the. types of crops that may be grown.
Inundation - refers to the frequency of flooding. The inunda- tion hazard is used mainly in areas adjacent to rivers.
Impact on Nontarget Areas - refers to the hazard resulting frorn the impact of applied irrigation water on an adjacent nonirrigated area. The hazards may include such effects as higher water tables, wetter soils, development or build-up of saline areas, or flooding and sedimentation caused by runoff.
V Horizontal Variability - refers to the horizontal variations caused by texture, soil structure, and landscape pattern that may result in the surface ponding of irrigated soils.
Saskatchewan Soi1 Survey. Page 13 Irrigation Suitability, Cont.
SOILLIMITATIONS
Symbol Description
d Structure - soil structural properties that restrict root and water penetration. Commonly used with soils that have a dense B horizon and an A horizon that is subject to crusting.
k Hydraulic Conductivity - the rate at which water moves through a saturated soil. Used mainly on soil areas that swell upon wetting, restricting water movement through the soil.
m Available Water-Holding Capacity - the amount of water held by a soil that can be absorbed by plants. Coarse-textured soils with a low water-holding capacity are considered to be relatively inefficient for irrigation, as compared to medium-textured soil. Soils with this limitation also have relatiirely high hydraulic con- ductivities and intake rates.
Geological Uniformity - the uniformity of the soil texture with depth. The greater the textural difference between the surface and subsoil, the greater the potential for the development of perched water tables and lateral water movement.
Intake Rate - the rate of movement of water into the soil. It is closely associated with hydraulic conductivity which controls the rate at which water moves through the soil, and thus affects the rate at which water is able to enter the soil. Usually used on fine- textured soils that have relatively low intake rates requiring relatively light water application rates.
W Drainage - the rate of removal of water from a soil in relation to supply. ïndicates areas of mainly poorly drained soils.
S Salinity - the presence of soluble salts that may affect the growth of crops. The potential exists for lower yields, or for lateral Salt movement into adjacent areas.

Saskatchewan Soi1 Survey. Page 15 - Agricultural Capabiiity, Cont.
- CAPABILITYCLASS (DEGREE OF LIMITAIION)
The mineral soils of Saskatchewan are grouped into seven capability classes. Soils rated Classes 1to 3 are considered suitable for sustained production of common cultivated field crops, those rated Class 4 are considered marginal for sustained production of cornmon cultivated field crops, those rated Class 5 are considered capable only of permanent Pasture and hay production, those rated Class 6 are considered suitable only for use as native Pasture, and those rated Class 7 are considered unsuitable for either the production of field crops or for use as native Pasture.
CLASS 1 Soils in this class have no significant limitations in use for crops.
CLASS 2 Soils in this class have moderate limitations that restrict the range of crops or require moderate conservation practices.
CLASS 3 Soils in this class have moderately severe limitations that restrict the range of crops or require special conservation practices.
CLASS 4 Soils in this class have severe limitations that restrict the range of crops or require special conservation practices, or both.
CLASS 5 Soils in this class have very severe limitations that restrict their use to the production of native or tame species of perennial forage crops. Improvement practices are feasible.
CLASS 6 Soils in this class are capable of producing native forage crops only. Improvement practices are not feasible.
CLASS 7 Soils in this class have no capability for arable agriculture or permanent Pasture.
CLASS O Unimproved or virgin organic soils are not included in classes 1 to 7, and are designated by the letter ‘0’.

5.5 WETLANDSAND DRAINAGE
Wetlands, commonly referred to as sloughs, ponds or marshes, develop in depres- sional areas that receive surface runoff from the surrounding landscape, but Iack external drainage. They are frequently flooded in the spring and may contain water throughout the year. Although most are considered agricultural wastelands, they are often critical wildlife habitats.
Four types of wetlands, based on the duration of flooding and the proportion of the area permanently occupied by open water and the occurance of organic materials are recog- nized: organic wetlands, wet meadows, marshes, and open water wetlands.
Surface drainage, or runoff, refers to the loss of water from an area by flow over the land surface. The water either ends up in local undrained depressions or, following a network of local channels, creeks and streams, is carried out of the area. Surface drainage is controlledprincipally by two factors: (1) the texture and structural characteristics of the soil, and (2) the direction, steepness and frequency of dopes, often referred to as the topography.

A Areas of Regional Surface Water Runoff - These are landscapes where most, if not all, of the water that is shed locally is carried out of the area to major creeks, nvers or lakes. They are usually characterized by the presence of gullies.
B Areas of Local Runoff and Accumulation of Surface Water - These are landscapes where water that is shed from upper slopes collects in local depressions that are too small to be shown on the map. They are usually recognized by chaotic, hummocky landscapes with numerous, enclosed depressions or sloughs.
C Areas of Major Accumulation of Surface Water - These are typically low-lying flat or depressional landscapes that receive surface runoff from surrounding-areasresulting in temporary periods of wetness due to occasional flooding.
D Wetland Areas - These are areas that receive sufficient water from runoff and other sources to be considered a wetland. They are primarily nonagricultural lands made up of wet, poorly drained soils, or organic soils. These areas are described in greater detail in the following section.
WETLANDTYPE
DW Organic Wetlands - These areas are dominated by shallow organic soils. Wet poorly drained soils occur near the margins and al1 soils remain saturated for most of the year.
DX Wet Meadows - These areas consist mainly of wet, poorly drained soils. Flooding occurs mainly in the spring but can last until midsummer. These are often hayland areas but may be partialiy cultivated during periods of drought.
DY Marshes - These areas consist of wet, poorly drained soils near the edges with shallow open water in the centre. Flooding usually persists until late summer and occasionally throughout the year. Haying may take place around the slough margins but these areas are rarely cultivated.
DZ Open Water Wetlands - These areas are dominated by shallow open water with wet, poorly drained soils around the outer fringes. They are permanently flooded.

The Sand and gravel symbol shows the location of near surface sources of sandy and gravelly materials. The materials can range from mixtures of Sand and silt to coarse gravelly Sand. These materials may be used for concrete, sub-base for roads, traffic gravel or pervious borrow for fil1 purposes. This symbol does not suggest whether any of these areas contain sands and gravels of sufficient volume or quality to enable commercial development.
The term sandrefers to materials with greater than 50% Sand and with less than 15% Clay. Grave1 refers to materials having a significant component of particles greater than 2 mm in diameter.

WINDEROSION POTENTIAL
In Saskatchewan, there was relatively little wind erosion while Our soils were under naturai vegetation, but, since the early 19Oo’s, erosion has had profound effects resulting in excessive losses of topsoil from agricultural land. In the past, there was little concem about soil losses due to wind erosion because of our inability to monitor the importance and extent of these losses. Presently, we are able to study and understand the physical, chemical and biological properties which control wind erosion and thereby we can classify and predict a soils wind erosion potential. The wind erosion potentiai of the soils in this municipality is based on the dominant surface texture, topography, ridge roughness and climatic conditions within an area. These features are used topredict a soil’s susceptibility to wind erosion. The actual amount of past wind erosion that has occurreù is not considereâ in this report. As well, the influence of management practices is not part of the initial evaluation even though this parameter has a pronounced effect on the potential erodibility of soils. Surface Texture The relative proportions of Sand, silt and Clay present influence a soil’s ability to absorb andretain moisture and, consequently, to form aggregatesresistantto wind erosion. Coarse-textured soils have a “single grain” structure lacking sufficient amounts of silt and Clay to bind individual Sand particles together. Consequently, these soils are readily broken down and eroded by wind. Fine-textured soils have a high water-holding capacity and strong surface attraction. This results in a good soil structure with a high degree of resistance to wind erosion. However, under certain conditions, fine-textured soils will aggregate into Sand-sized particles, and in this condition are quite susceptible to erosion by wind. Medium-textured soils contain sufficient amounts of silt and Clay to bind Sand grains, forming a good soil structure resistant to granulation and, consequently ,wind erosion.
Topograp hy The influence of topography, which includes such features as the differences in relief or height between one place and another, the direction, steepness and fiequency of slopes, and the comparative roughness of the land’s surface al1 have a pronounced effect on the potential erodibility of soils. In general, the greater the slope of the land (Section 4.1), the greater the potential for wind erosion to occur.
Climate The climatic information used to calculate potentiai wind erosion is based on the average wind velocity and the precipitation-evaporation index for a particular location. This information was compiled from official weather records of specific Saskatchewan locations. Soil-Ridge Roughness The soil-ridge roughness factor refers to the roughness of the soil surface in the form of ndges which result mainly from the operation of tillage and planting equipment. The fields are classified as smooth, semi-ridged, or ridged.

Class Susceptibility Description
1 Very LQW Soils in this class have avery low susceptibility to wind erosion. Good soil management and average growing conditions will produce a crop with suf- ficient trash cover to protect these soils against wind erosion.
2 LOW Soils in this class have a low susceptibility to wind erosion. Good soil management and average growing conditions may produce a crop with suf- ficient trash cover to protect these soils against wind erosion.
3 Moderate Soils in this class have’a moderate susceptibility to wind erosion. Average growing conditionsmay not supply adequate trash cover to protect these soils against wind erosion. Enhanced soil man- agement practices are necessary to control wind erosion.
4 High Soils in this class have a high susceptibility to wind erosion. Average growing conditions will not provide sufficient trash cover to protect these soils against wind erosion. Conversion of coarse- textured soils to Pasture or forage crops wiil pre- vent severe degradation of the soil.
5 Very High Soils in this class have a very high susceptibility to wind erosion. These soils should not be used for annual cropping, but rather for Pasture and forage crops which will protect the surface from severe degradation.
6 Extremely High Soils in this class have an extremely high suscep- tibility to winderosion. These soils must be left in permanent Pasture and are not capable of main- taining arable agriculture.

POTENTIALWATER EROSION OF SOILS
The potential water erosion classes are obtained from calculations using the Universal Soil Loss Equation. This equation takes into account soil texture, soil organic matter content, slope length and gradient, soil infiltration rates, soil surface structure and the rainfall erosivity.
The distribution of soil particle sizes (soil texture) influences the soil’s potential for erosion. The silt-size particles are most easily transported by water followed by Clay and Sand- sized particles. Thus, soils high in silt are more easily eroded.
Soilorganicmatter acts like a“glue”, binding soil particles together so that a greater force is required to break away individual particles that can be transported by water. Soils of higher organic matter contents will, therefore, be less erodible than those with lower contents.
Slope length and gradient are very important to a soil’s potential to erode. These factors control the amount and speed of water movement over the soil surface. Long, steep slopes are much more erodible than short, gentle slopes.
The rate of infiltration of water affects the amount of water that will run over the surface of the soil. Runoff occus once the rate of water accumulation exceeds the rate of infiltration. Fine-texturd soils such as clays have much lower rates of infiltration than coarser-textured soils. The rate of infiltration is also influenced by the origin of the materials. Soils of similar textures but different origins may have different rates of infiltration.
Soil surface structure influences the speed of water movement and, therefore, the erosive force the water exerts on the soil. A rough soil surface causes much slower water movement and therefore there is less erosive force.
Rainfall erosivity refers to the intensity and amount of rainfall an areareceives. An area that receives gentle, short showers. will experience less erosion than one subjected to prolonged downpours with al1 other conditions being equal.
Potential water erosion classes assigned to soil map units assume the soil to be under conventional summerfallow. Thus, the class assigned represents the maximum potential for erosion. If dissections or gullies were observed in the Field, this was noted by a “D”or a “G” next to the class number since there may be higher potential erosion rates associated with these features. -
When using this information, it should be remembered that the class assigned to an area
- is an estimation of potential erosion for the entire area and that actual rates for individual soils within that area may vary significantly from the assigned class.

CIass Susceptibility Description
~ 1 Very LOw Little or no susceptibility to water erosion.
2 LOW Slight susceptibility to water erosion.
3 Moderate Moderate susceptibility to water erosion. Conventional farming practices will result in a steady loss of soil due to water erosion. Conservation practices should be instituted to prevent degradation of these soils.
4 High High susceptibility to water erosion. Rapid loss of soil will occur unless conservation practices are instituted. Al1 gullies in these areas should be grassed.
5 Very High Very high susceptibility to water erosion. These soils should not be broken due to their water erosion hazard. If broken, perennial crops or permanent forage should replace annual crops.
U Unclassified Unclassified areas (Wetlands).
D or G If an area was observed to be gullied (G) or Modifïers dissected (dissections being shallow gullies that can be crossed with farm implements) (D), these symbols were added to the erosion class symbol to indicate that higher rates of erosion may occur on the steeper slopes along the edges of the dissection or gully if they are left unprotected.
Saskatchewan Soi1 Survey. Page 28 5.10 PASTWIND AND WATEREROSION
An erosion rating has been assigned to each soil area. This rating reflects the surveyor’s best estimate of the extent and degree of erosion that has occurred in an area since cultivation. Areas that have never been cultivated usually have enough vegetative cover to protect the soil surface Çom erosion and, therefore, remain relatively unaffected. Some uncultivated areas, however, do have clear evidence of recent erosion.
The rating system contains six classes with the degree of past wind and water erosion ranging from unaffected (WO) to very severe (W5). These classes, with the exception of WO (unaffected), are assigned modifiers (G, K, B) which identify the type of erosion that has occurred. Wetlands and nonsoil areas are unclassified, designated with a ‘U’.
Class Description
U Unclassified wo Unaffected. No evidence of past wind or water erosion. w1 Weak. Soils are slightly eroded.
W1K The knolls have slightly thinner A horizons and are lighter in color than midslopes. There is no noticeable thickening of the surface horizon on mid- to lower slopes.
W1B Wind have removed part of the soil surface resulting in thinner A horizons. There is very little mixing of the A and B horizons and little sign of soil accumulation on mid- and lower slopes.
W1G A few very shallow dissections are present indicating very slight evidence of water erosion.
w2 Moderate. Soils are moderately eroded.
. W2K Erodedknolls make up 515%of the area. The knolls are much lighter in color than midslopes. There is a noticable thickening of the surface horizon on lower slopes due to accumulation of upper slope material.
W2B Wind has removed part of the A horizon resulting in moderately thin A horizons. There is slight mixing of A and B horizons during tilIage and some evidence of soil accumulation near fencelines and wind- breaks.
W2G Shallow dissections are present. The dissections may easily be crossed by farm implements and have little effect on cultivation. There is evidence of ri11 erosion (small channels a few centimeters deep, occurring after substantial rains or snowmelt).

~ ~~~ Class Description w3 Strong. Soils are strongly eroded.
W3K Eroded knolls make up 1540% of the area. The knolls are much lighter in color than midslopes. A large portion of the A horizon has been removed and redistributed to lower slopes. On knolls, subsoil has been incorporated into the cultivated horizon.
W3B Wind has removed a significant amount of the A horizon. Regular tillage results in a thorough mixing of the B horizon with the remaining A horizon. Accumulation of wind-blown material occurs dong fencelines and windbreaks.
W3G Distinct dissections are present. The dissections may be crossed by farm implements with some difficulty, and have a moderate effect on cultivation. These dissections should be seeded to grass to prevent further damage from erosion. w4 Severe. Soils are severely eroded.
W4K Eroded knolls make up 40-70% of the area. The eroded knolls are white in color, with light colors extendhg well ont0 the midslope position. Erosion has destroyed the soil profile on upper slopes.
W4B Wind has removed most of the A horizon and frequently part of the B horizon. Occasionai blowout areas are present, creating a very unstable surface.
W4G Occasional shaliow gullies are present. The gullies cannot be crossed by farm implements, and therefore, cannot be cultivated for annual cropping. Reclamation for improved Pasture is difficult unless erosion can be controlled. w5 Very Severe. Soils are very severely eroded. W5K Eroded knolls make up greater than 70% of the area. The knoils and midslopes are white in color. Erosion has destroyed the soil profile on upper and midslope positions.
W5B Wind has removed most of the soil profile. Blowout holes are numerous and easily carved into the subsoil or parent material. Areas between blowouts Ge deeply buried by eroded soil material. At best, this land should be utilized for native or improved Pasture.
W5G Deep gullies occur frequently. Soil profiles have been destroyed except in small areas between gullies. The guUies are deep enough to prevent cultivation. These areas should be permanently grassed.
