3|"Cropland Management"|"The Cropland Management category includes predictions of potential crop yields.  In the underlying database, some states maintain crop yield data by individual map unit component.  Other states maintain the data at the map unit level.  Attributes are included for both, although only one or the other is likely to contain data for any given geographic area.  Can include nonirrigated and irrigated crop yields."|1||06/28/2005 09:00:00
1|"Building Site Development"|"Building Site Development interpretations are designed to be used as tools for evaluating soil suitability and identifying soil limitations for various construction purposes.  As part of the interpretation process, the rating applies to each soil in its described condition and does not consider present land use.

Example interpretations can include corrosion of concrete and steel, shallow excavations, dwellings with and without basements, small commercial buildings, local roads and streets, and lawns and landscaping."|2||06/28/2005 09:00:00
2|"Construction Material"|"Construction Material interpretations are tools designed to provide guidance to users in selecting a site for potential source of various materials.  Individual soils or groups of soils may be selected as a potential source because they are close at hand, are the only source available, or they meets some or all of the physical or chemical properties required for the intended application.

Example interpretations include roadfill, sand and gravel, topsoil and reclamation material."|3||06/28/2005 09:00:00
9|"Recreation"|"Recreation interpretations are tools designed to guide the user in identifying and evaluating the suitability of the soil for specific recreational uses.

Example interpretations include camp areas, picnic areas, playgrounds, paths and trails, and off-road motorcycle trails."|4||06/28/2005 09:00:00
10|"Sanitary Facilities"|"Sanitary Facilities interpretations are tools designed to guide the user in site selection for the safe disposal of sewage and solid waste.

Example interpretations include septic tank absorption fields, sewage lagoons, and sanitary landfills."|5||06/28/2005 09:00:00
5|"Forest Management"|"Forest Management interpretations are tools designed to guide the user in evaluating existing conditions in planning and predicting the soil response to various components of forest land management.

Example interpretations can include log landings, haul roads and major skid trails, equipment operability, site preparation, planting suitabilities, and erosion hazard.  Also included are forest site index and forest productivity information."|6||06/28/2005 09:00:00
4|"Ecological Sites"|"Landscapes are divided into Ecological Sites for the purposes of inventory, evaluation and management.  An Ecological Site is a distinctive kind of land with specific physical characteristics that differs from other kinds of land in its ability to produce a distinctive kind and amount of vegetation.  Separate ecological sites are identified for rangeland and forest land.

Example information can include ecological site ID and name."|7||06/28/2005 09:00:00
15|"Waste Management"|"Waste Management interpretations are tools designed to guide the user in evaluating soils for use of organic wastes and wastewater as productive resources.

Example interpretations include land application of manure, food processing waste, and municipal sewage sludge, and disposal of wastewater by irrigation or overland flow process."|8||06/28/2005 09:00:00
17|"Water Management"|"Water Management interpretations are tools for evaluating the potential of the soil in the application of various water management practices.

Example interpretations include pond reservoir area, embankments, dikes, levees, and excavated ponds."|9||06/28/2005 09:00:00
7|"Interpretative Groups"|"Interpretative Groups are specified land use and management groupings that are assigned to soil areas because combinations of soils have similar behavior for specified practices.  Most are based on soil properties and other factors that directly influence the specific use of the soil.

Example interpretative groups can include farmland classification, irrigated and nonirrigated land capability classification, and hydric rating."|10||06/28/2005 09:00:00
12|"Soil Erosion Factors"|"Soil Erosion Factors are soil properties and interpretations used in evaluating the soil for potential erosion.

Example soil erosion factors can include K factor for the whole soil or on a rock free basis, T factor, wind erodibility group and wind erodibility index."|11||06/28/2005 09:00:00
13|"Soil Physical Properties"|"Soil Physical Properties are measured or inferred from direct observations in the field or laboratory.

Examples of soil physical properties include percent clay, organic matter, saturated hydraulic conductivity, available water capacity, and bulk density."|12||06/28/2005 09:00:00
11|"Soil Chemical Properties"|"Soil Chemical Properties are measured or inferred from direct observations in the field or laboratory.

Examples of soil chemical properties include pH, cation exchange capacity, calcium carbonate, gypsum, and electrical conductivity."|13||06/28/2005 09:00:00
14|"Soil Qualities and Features"|"Soil qualities are behavior and performance attributes that are not directly measured, but are inferred from observations of dynamic conditions and from soil properties.  Example soil qualities include natural drainage, and frost action.

Soil features are attributes that are not directly part of the soil.  Example soil features include slope and depth to restrictive layer.  These features can greatly impact the use and management of the soil."|14||06/28/2005 09:00:00
16|"Water Features"|"Water Features include ponding frequency, flooding frequency, and depth to water table."|15||06/28/2005 09:00:00
6|"Grazing Land Management"|"Grazing Land Management interpretations are tools designed to guide the user in evaluating existing conditions in planning and predicting the soil response to various components of grazing land management.  Grazing lands include rangeland and pastureland.

Example interpretations can include ratings for fencing and waterline installation.  Also included is information related to range productivity in favorable, normal and unfavorable years."|18||08/11/2005 14:19:00
