Section 1. General Information
This package shall serve as Wilkes Abattoir Compost application for a new small
type 3 compost operation. The compost plan was put together by Adam Gaines of Agri -
Waste Technology Inc. in Apex, NC. The plans and Specs for the Structure were
completed by Advanced composting of Candler, NC. The contact information for all
parties involved can be found on the cover page. Wilkes Abattoir Compost will be
receiving all fee invoices if applicable.

Section 2. Siting Requirements
The facility will be located at 257 Brewer Rd. Hays, NC 28635 ins Wilkes
County. The facility is approximately 0.8 mi form hays, NC. The site has not been
previously used for solid waste disposal.
A map of the parcel with the planned location of the composter has been
included on the following page showing where the composter will be located on parcel
1200662 and is —64.7 acres. The map also shows the USGS topographic maps for the
parcel. The parcel previously has been used to cut hay for cattle. The compost structure
will be approximately 15,540 sqft. (-0.36ac.). Property tax information is included in the
appendix.
The Wilkes County solid waste disposal ordinance has been included in the
Appendix. The Wilkes County solid waste disposal ordinance was used because Hays,
NC is only a census designated place in NC and does not have a city official. A letter
from Wilkes County has been in included in the Appendix B.
The facility complies with NC Solid Waste Rule .1404 (a)(1) by being several
miles away from the 100 year flood plain. The site is also not located near any wetlands.
The site is more than 100 feet from any property lines of neighbors. The site is more
than 500 ft. from any residences. The site is more than 100 feet from any wells. The site
is more than 50 ft. from any perennial streams. The site is also more than 25 ft. from
any swales or berms. The site is not located over any old disposal sites.
A soil survey report for the site has been included in Appendix C for Fairview
Sandy Clay Loam. This soil type has a water table depth >80 inches. The soil texture
that is finer than a sandy loam since it is a sandy clay loam. All other requirements of
.1404(a)(10(b through) have been met.

Section 3. Design Plan
The compost for Seth Church's compost operation will utilize chicken litter to
begin the composting of offal, hides, and bones from cattle, pigs, sheep, and goats.
Once the composting operation has composted one batch, only the existing dry
compost will be used as bulking material. The compost operation will receive at most 40
cows, 30 pigs, and 20 goats and sheep each week from Wilkes Abbattoir, LLC. It will
receive this at most 49 weeks of the year. Each week will be approximately 35,000 lbs.
will be ground up with dry compost totaling-37,000 lbs. Once all is composted the
operation will then land apply approximately 1,775 tons of compost to approximately
600 acres which consist of fescue pastures, Fescue Hay, and corn land. A compost
sample from two other facilities that compost pigs and chickens utilizing the Advanced
Composting system have been used to complete the nutrient recommendations for this
plan.
The facility will be -0.36 acres and produce 4.5 batches of compost each week.
The grinder to be used can hold 700 cuft. at a time and should produce approximately
16,000 lbs. per batch. The facility has a 20 ft.x30 ft. area for dropping off the offal, hides,
and bones to be composted. This is beside a 30 ft.x30 ft. area where the carbon
material to be used for composting will be held. This is then transferred into the
grinder/mixer from the working floor into a 20 ft.x27 ft. area where the grinder/mixer is
located. Once the mixed compost leaves the grinder/mixer it is moved to a 170 ft.x54 ft.
area where it has two aerated areas that measure 70 ft.x16 ft. each for composting.
Once this is complete the compost is moved to the area labeled "Raw Material Area" in
the drawings which measures 80ft.x54ft. where it will continue to compost until it is land
applied.
Compost will be processed in the grinder at roughly a 1:1 ration of completed
compost and uncomposted waste products. The grinder does not run until it has
reached its full capacity of 700 cuft. A simplified drawing has been provided on the
following pages showing the process flow. Material should arrive and be mixed within
the composter within a day and then be transferred to the aerated floor within a day.
The 1st stage of composting should take place within 2 weeks and then be moved to the
storage area to be land applied or to be moved back to stage one for mixing.
The site will be covered during the entire process so rain should not be and
issue. The site chosen also is at the top of the hill so there will be no run-on into the
facility. All water will flow away from the planned composting facility.
Dust should not be an issue as the initial material will be somewhat wet and will
mx with the exiting compost. A moisture level of 40% must be maintained for proper
composting. This moisture level will keep dust and particulates to a minimum.

Section 4. Operation Plan
Seth Church will operate Wilkes Abattoir Compost facility. His contact information
is listed on the cover page. Front end loaders will be used to load the Advanced
Composting Technologies grinder/mixer. Be sure to never try to enter the grinder when
it is in operation, or if it has been loaded. The mixer is equipped with a scale to begin
the mixing process when it is full. The mixed compost is then moved via conveyor belt
to a drop off location. At this point a front end loader moves the mixed compost to a
slotted floor where it is aerated using an air compressor. Once this is complete the
compost is moved to the storage area for land application or to be transferred to a
different storage area to be used again for mixing.
Piles of compost will be placed in 16 ft.x10 ft. area, which will be marked on the
floor. These piles will not exceed 6 ft. The temperature of the pile should be measured
daily and should exceed 104 degrees F for 14 days and the average temperature
should be at least 113 degrees F for the 14 days. Probe 24 in. to 36 in. to take the
temperature measurements. The temperature probe will be a long-stemmed handheld
thermometer. If compost exceeds 180 degrees F, the compost should be spread out
and have water applied to bring down the temperature. Moisture content can be
measured by squeezing the compost. If the compost can be squeezed in the hands and
no water is squeezed out then the compost is too dry. If the compost can be squeezed
in the hands and a few drops come out, then the moisture level is correct. Any more
than a few drops and the compost is too wet.
To test compost, samples should be taken from several location within a pile.
Samples should be include compost from the surface and compost from the center.
Once 4-5 samples have been taken, they should be mixed together in a 5 gallon bucket.
Take a gallon sample of this mixed compost and send it off to a licensed lab where
nutrient and pathogens can be tested. Follow the lab testing procedures for the lab
chosen. The sample must be tested within 24 hours. A sample will be tested twice a
year. For additional testing requirements for the compost reference Appendix D.
Approximately 600 acres of fescue pasture, fescue hay, and corn will be used for
land application. The recommendation for the fields included in the appendix range from
2.8 tons/acre to 5.2 tons/acre.
The facility will be gated and have someone onsite if the facility is open. The road
that leads to the facility will of all-weather as this road will be in use for other farming
activities already.
The facility will be closed and gated after each day. Also, any compost, bulking
material, or uncomposted material that is spilled must be cleaned up and returned to the
correct location within the composter. Signs will be posted showing the types of waste,
permit number, operating hours, and emergency contacts will be posted at facility
entrances. A copy of the permit, this plan, and any operational reports shall be always
maintained onsite. A letter to the Mountainview Fire Department Is located in Appendix
0

E. In the event of a fire the Mountainview Fire Department should be contact
immediately. If a fire occurs the NC Division of Environmental Quality Solid Waste
Section should be notified within 24 hours. Within 15 days of the fire a written
notification must also be submitted.
In the event of facility closure, follow rule .1410. This rule has bene included in
Appendix F.

Section 5. Odor Control Plan
Air quality in and around structures, waste storage areas, and treatment sites
may be impaired by excessive dust, gaseous emissions such as ammonia, and odors.
Poor air quality may impact the health of workers, animals, and persons living in the
surrounding areas. Ammonia emissions from animal operations may be deposited to
surface waters, increasing the nutrient load to these regions. Proper siting of structures
and waste storage facilities can enhance dispersion and dilution of odorous gases.
Enclosing waste storage or treatment facilities can reduce gaseous emissions from
AFOs in areas with residential development in the region.
For an odor to be detected downwind, odorous compounds must be (a) formed,
(b) released to the atmosphere, and (c) transported to the receptor site. These three
steps provide the basis for most odor control. If any one of the steps is inhibited, the
odor will diminish.
Odor problems can be prevented or reduced through adequate drainage, runoff
management, proper care to keep animals and animal facilities clean and dry, and
appropriate animal by-product removal, handling, and transport.
Locate animal by-product management facilities and utilization areas as far as
practical from neighboring residences, recreational areas, or other conflicting land uses.
Avoid sites where radical shifts in air movement occur between day and night, such as
those near large bodies of water or steep topography. A component's location in
relation to surrounding topography may also strongly influence the transfer of odor
because of daily changes in temperature and resulting airflow. To provide optimum
conditions, prevailing winds should carry odors away from nearby residences.
Providing conditions or design features that alter the microclimate around specific
components can further mitigate odor. An abundance of sunlight and good ventilation
helps keep livestock and poultry areas dry and relatively odor free. Southern exposure
with adequate slope to provide drainage for runoff is a preferred condition. Keeping
animal by-products aerated and at appropriate moisture and temperature levels slows
the development of anaerobic conditions and reduces odor.
Mitigation of Odor
Odor -causing substances from animal by-products are frequently attracted to
dust particles in the air. Collecting or limiting the transport of dust aids in reducing odor.
Vegetation is very effective in trapping dust particles. For example, pine trees planted
downwind trap odor -laden dust particles and can provide a visual barrier to the animal
operation. In addition, vegetation, landform, and structures can channel wind to carry
odors away from nearby residences.
Chemical additives for the control or reduction of odors may be added to the
bedding in the house or during removal

Good afternoon Mr. Gaines,
That use is allowed in that location, you will need to pick up a standard Zoning permit for any structures prior to
submitting for a Building Inspections Permit. Permitting fees for that location will be $30 cash or check paid in
office or by mail.
-Kind regards.

Subject: Possible zoning for a Composter
CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the organization. Do not click links or open attachments unless you
recognize the sender and know the content is safe.
Hello Mr. Scroggs this is Adam Gaines with AWT. I am working with a farmer by the name of Seth Church
in Hays, NC to put in a compost facility to handle cattle, pigs, goats, and sheep. I said poultry on the
voice mail, but I just checked my notes to confirm which animals it is. I believe he will be getting the
carcasses from a slaughterhouse. I have attached a map of the facility as well as the plans and specs. I
am reviewing the NC Compost permit application and one of the requirements is a letter from a city or
county official saying that the facility meets the zoning requirements. I have included these
requirements on this email and the item I am referencing is on page 3 under section 2, 6. Could you give
me a call at 919-367-6323 to go over the details of this project if you need them? The structure is 0.36
acres and I believe it meets all the requirements in the Wilkes county solid waste ordinance.

Preface
Soil surveys contain information that affects land use planning in survey areas.
They highlight soil limitations that affect various land uses and provide information
about the properties of the soils in the survey areas. Soil surveys are designed for
many different users, including farmers, ranchers, foresters, agronomists, urban
planners, community officials, engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers.
Also, conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation, waste
disposal, and pollution control can use the surveys to help them understand,
protect, or enhance the environment.
Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may impose
special restrictions on land use or land treatment. Soil surveys identify soil
properties that are used in making various land use or land treatment decisions.
The information is intended to help the land users identify and reduce the effects of
soil limitations on various land uses. The landowner or user is responsible for
identifying and complying with existing laws and regulations.
Although soil survey information can be used for general farm, local, and wider area
planning, onsite investigation is needed to supplement this information in some
cases. Examples include soil quality assessments (http://www.nres.usda.gov/wps/
portal/nres/main/soils/health/) and certain conservation and engineering
applications. For more detailed information, contact your local USDA Service Center
(https://offices.sc.egov.usda.gov/locator/app?agency=nres) or your NRCS State Soil
Scientist (http://www.nres.usda.gov/wps/portal/nres/detail/soils/contactus/?
cid=nres142p2_053951).
Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances. Some soils are
seasonally wet or subject to flooding. Some are too unstable to be used as a
foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils are poorly suited to use as
septic tank absorption fields. A high water table makes a soil poorly suited to
basements or underground installations.
The National Cooperative Soil Survey is a joint effort of the United States
Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the
Agricultural Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS) has leadership for the Federal part of the National
Cooperative Soil Survey.
Information about soils is updated periodically. Updated information is available
through the NRCS Web Soil Survey, the site for official soil survey information.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) prohibits discrimination in all its
programs and activities on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, disability,

How Soil Surveys Are Made
Soil surveys are made to provide information about the soils and miscellaneous
areas in a specific area. They include a description of the soils and miscellaneous
areas and their location on the landscape and tables that show soil properties and
limitations affecting various uses. Soil scientists observed the steepness, length,
and shape of the slopes; the general pattern of drainage; the kinds of crops and
native plants; and the kinds of bedrock. They observed and described many soil
profiles. A soil profile is the sequence of natural layers, or horizons, in a soil. The
profile extends from the surface down into the unconsolidated material in which the
soil formed or from the surface down to bedrock. The unconsolidated material is
devoid of roots and other living organisms and has not been changed by other
biological activity.
Currently, soils are mapped according to the boundaries of major land resource
areas (MLRAs). MLRAs are geographically associated land resource units that
share common characteristics related to physiography, geology, climate, water
resources, soils, biological resources, and land uses (USDA, 2006). Soil survey
areas typically consist of parts of one or more MLRA.
The soils and miscellaneous areas in a survey area occur in an orderly pattern that
is related to the geology, landforms, relief, climate, and natural vegetation of the
area. Each kind of soil and miscellaneous area is associated with a particular kind
of landform or with a segment of the landform. By observing the soils and
miscellaneous areas in the survey area and relating their position to specific
segments of the landform, a soil scientist develops a concept, or model, of how they
were formed. Thus, during mapping, this model enables the soil scientist to predict
with a considerable degree of accuracy the kind of soil or miscellaneous area at a
specific location on the landscape.
Commonly, individual soils on the landscape merge into one another as their
characteristics gradually change. To construct an accurate soil map, however, soil
scientists must determine the boundaries between the soils. They can observe only
a limited number of soil profiles. Nevertheless, these observations, supplemented
by an understanding of the soil -vegetation -landscape relationship, are sufficient to
verify predictions of the kinds of soil in an area and to determine the boundaries.
Soil scientists recorded the characteristics of the soil profiles that they studied. They
noted soil color, texture, size and shape of soil aggregates, kind and amount of rock
fragments, distribution of plant roots, reaction, and other features that enable them
to identify soils. After describing the soils in the survey area and determining their
properties, the soil scientists assigned the soils to taxonomic classes (units).
Taxonomic classes are concepts. Each taxonomic class has a set of soil
characteristics with precisely defined limits. The classes are used as a basis for
comparison to classify soils systematically. Soil taxonomy, the system of taxonomic
classification used in the United States, is based mainly on the kind and character
of soil properties and the arrangement of horizons within the profile. After the soil
5

Custom Soil Resource Report
scientists classified and named the soils in the survey area, they compared the
individual soils with similar soils in the same taxonomic class in other areas so that
they could confirm data and assemble additional data based on experience and
research.
The objective of soil mapping is not to delineate pure map unit components; the
objective is to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that
have similar use and management requirements. Each map unit is defined by a
unique combination of soil components and/or miscellaneous areas in predictable
proportions. Some components may be highly contrasting to the other components
of the map unit. The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way
diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The delineation of such
landforms and landform segments on the map provides sufficient information for the
development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, onsite
investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas.
Soil scientists make many field observations in the process of producing a soil map.
The frequency of observation is dependent upon several factors, including scale of
mapping, intensity of mapping, design of map units, complexity of the landscape,
and experience of the soil scientist. Observations are made to test and refine the
soil -landscape model and predictions and to verify the classification of the soils at
specific locations. Once the soil -landscape model is refined, a significantly smaller
number of measurements of individual soil properties are made and recorded.
These measurements may include field measurements, such as those for color,
depth to bedrock, and texture, and laboratory measurements, such as those for
content of sand, silt, clay, salt, and other components. Properties of each soil
typically vary from one point to another across the landscape.
Observations for map unit components are aggregated to develop ranges of
characteristics for the components. The aggregated values are presented. Direct
measurements do not exist for every property presented for every map unit
component. Values for some properties are estimated from combinations of other
properties.
While a soil survey is in progress, samples of some of the soils in the area generally
are collected for laboratory analyses and for engineering tests. Soil scientists
interpret the data from these analyses and tests as well as the field -observed
characteristics and the soil properties to determine the expected behavior of the
soils under different uses. Interpretations for all of the soils are field tested through
observation of the soils in different uses and under different levels of management.
Some interpretations are modified to fit local conditions, and some new
interpretations are developed to meet local needs. Data are assembled from other
sources, such as research information, production records, and field experience of
specialists. For example, data on crop yields under defined levels of management
are assembled from farm records and from field or plot experiments on the same
kinds of soil.
Predictions about soil behavior are based not only on soil properties but also on
such variables as climate and biological activity. Soil conditions are predictable over
long periods of time, but they are not predictable from year to year. For example,
soil scientists can predict with a fairly high degree of accuracy that a given soil will
have a high water table within certain depths in most years, but they cannot predict
that a high water table will always be at a specific level in the soil on a specific date.
After soil scientists located and identified the significant natural bodies of soil in the
survey area, they drew the boundaries of these bodies on aerial photographs and
0

Custom Soil Resource Report
identified each as a specific map unit. Aerial photographs show trees, buildings,
fields, roads, and rivers, all of which help in locating boundaries accurately.

Map Unit Descriptions
The map units delineated on the detailed soil maps in a soil survey represent the
soils or miscellaneous areas in the survey area. The map unit descriptions, along
with the maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit.
A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more
major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named
according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic
class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the
0

Custom Soil Resource Report
landscape, however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the
characteristic variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some
observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class.
Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without
including areas of other taxonomic classes. Consequently, every map unit is made
up of the soils or miscellaneous areas for which it is named and some minor
components that belong to taxonomic classes other than those of the major soils.
Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the
map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called
noncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a
particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties
and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different
management. These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. They
generally are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the
scale used. Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas
are identified by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a
given area, the contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit
descriptions along with some characteristics of each. A few areas of minor
components may not have been observed, and consequently they are not
mentioned in the descriptions, especially where the pattern was so complex that it
was impractical to make enough observations to identify all the soils and
miscellaneous areas on the landscape.
The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the
usefulness or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate
pure taxonomic classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms or
Iandform segments that have similar use and management requirements. The
delineation of such segments on the map provides sufficient information for the
development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, however,
onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous
areas.
An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions.
Each description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soil
properties and qualities.
Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soil series. Except for
differences in texture of the surface layer, all the soils of a series have major
horizons that are similar in composition, thickness, and arrangement.
Soils of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope, stoniness,
salinity, degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use. On the
basis of such differences, a soil series is divided into soil phases. Most of the areas
shown on the detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. The name of a soil phase
commonly indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example, Alpha
silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the Alpha series.
Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas.
These map units are complexes, associations, or undifferentiated groups.
A complex consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate
pattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps.
The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar
in all areas. Alpha -Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an example.
An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or
miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of present
0

Custom Soil Resource Report
or anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not considered
practical or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. The
pattern and relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat
similar. Alpha -Beta association, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas
that could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar
interpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and proportion
of the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform. An area can
be made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it can be made
up of all of them. Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
Some surveys include miscellaneous areas. Such areas have little or no soil
material and support little or no vegetation. Rock outcrop is an example.

Soil Information for All Uses
Soil Reports
The Soil Reports section includes various formatted tabular and narrative reports
(tables) containing data for each selected soil map unit and each component of
each unit. No aggregation of data has occurred as is done in reports in the Soil
Properties and Qualities and Suitabilities and Limitations sections.
The reports contain soil interpretive information as well as basic soil properties and
qualities. A description of each report (table) is included.
Soil Chemical Properties
This folder contains a collection of tabular reports that present soil chemical
properties. The reports (tables) include all selected map units and components for
each map unit. 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.
Chemical Soil Properties
This table shows estimates of some chemical characteristics and features that
affect soil behavior. These estimates are given for the layers of each soil in the
survey area. The estimates are based on field observations and on test data for
these and similar soils.
Depth to the upper and lower boundaries of each layer is indicated.
Cation -exchange capacity is the total amount of extractable cations that can be held
by the soil, expressed in terms of milliequivalents per 100 grams of soil at neutrality
(pH 7.0) or at some other stated pH value. Soils having a low cation -exchange
capacity hold fewer cations and may require more frequent applications of fertilizer
than soils having a high cation -exchange capacity. The ability to retain cations
reduces the hazard of ground -water pollution.
Effective cation -exchange capacity refers to the sum of extractable cations plus
aluminum expressed in terms of mill iequivalents per 100 grams of soil. It is
determined for soils that have pH of less than 5.5.

Soil reaction is a measure of acidity or alkalinity. It is important in selecting crops
and other plants, in evaluating soil amendments for fertility and stabilization, and in
determining the risk of corrosion.
Calcium carbonate equivalent is the percent of carbonates, by weight, in the fraction
of the soil less than 2 millimeters in size. The availability of plant nutrients is
influenced by the amount of carbonates in the soil.
Gypsum is expressed as a percent, by weight, of hydrated calcium sulfates in the
fraction of the soil less than 20 millimeters in size. Gypsum is partially soluble in
water. Soils that have a high content of gypsum may collapse if the gypsum is
removed by percolating water.
Salinity is a measure of soluble salts in the soil at saturation. It is expressed as the
electrical conductivity of the saturation extract, in millimhos per centimeter at 25
degrees C. Estimates are based on field and laboratory measurements at
representative sites of nonirrigated soils. The salinity of irrigated soils is affected by
the quality of the irrigation water and by the frequency of water application. Hence,
the salinity of soils in individual fields can differ greatly from the value given in the
table. Salinity affects the suitability of a soil for crop production, the stability of soil if
used as construction material, and the potential of the soil to corrode metal and
concrete.
Sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) is a measure of the amount of sodium (Na) relative
to calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) in the water extract from saturated soil paste.
It is the ratio of the Na concentration divided by the square root of one-half of the
Ca + Mg concentration. Soils that have SAR values of 13 or more may be
characterized by an increased dispersion of organic matter and clay particles,
reduced saturated hydraulic conductivity and aeration, and a general degradation of
soil structure.

Soil Physical Properties
This folder contains a collection of tabular reports that present soil physical
properties. The reports (tables) include all selected map units and components for
each map unit. 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.
Physical Soil Properties
This table shows estimates of some physical characteristics and features that affect
soil behavior. These estimates are given for the layers of each soil in the survey
area. The estimates are based on field observations and on test data for these and
similar soils.
Depth to the upper and lower boundaries of each layer is indicated.
Particle size is the effective diameter of a soil particle as measured by
sedimentation, sieving, or micrometric methods. Particle sizes are expressed as
classes with specific effective diameter class limits. The broad classes are sand,
silt, and clay, ranging from the larger to the smaller.
Sand as a soil separate consists of mineral soil particles that are 0.05 millimeter to 2
millimeters in diameter. In this table, the estimated sand content of each soil layer is
given as a percentage, by weight, of the soil material that is less than 2 millimeters
in diameter.
Silt as a soil separate consists of mineral soil particles that are 0.002 to 0.05
millimeter in diameter. In this table, the estimated silt content of each soil layer is
given as a percentage, by weight, of the soil material that is less than 2 millimeters
in diameter.
Clay as a soil separate consists of mineral soil particles that are less than 0.002
millimeter in diameter. In this table, the estimated clay content of each soil layer is
given as a percentage, by weight, of the soil material that is less than 2 millimeters
in diameter.
The content of sand, silt, and clay affects the physical behavior of a soil. Particle
size is important for engineering and agronomic interpretations, for determination of
soil hydrologic qualities, and for soil classification.
The amount and kind of clay affect the fertility and physical condition of the soil and
the ability of the soil to adsorb cations and to retain moisture. They influence shrink -
swell potential, saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat), plasticity, the ease of soil
dispersion, and other soil properties. The amount and kind of clay in a soil also
affect tillage and earthmoving operations.
Moist bulk density is the weight of soil (ovendry) per unit volume. Volume is
measured when the soil is at field moisture capacity, that is, the moisture content at
1/3- or 1/10-bar (33kPa or 10kPa) moisture tension. Weight is determined after the
soil is dried at 105 degrees C. In the table, the estimated moist bulk density of each
soil horizon is expressed in grams per cubic centimeter of soil material that is less
than 2 millimeters in diameter. Bulk density data are used to compute linear
24

Custom Soil Resource Report
extensibility, shrink -swell potential, available water capacity, total pore space, and
other soil properties. The moist bulk density of a soil indicates the pore space
available for water and roots. Depending on soil texture, a bulk density of more than
1.4 can restrict water storage and root penetration. Moist bulk density is influenced
by texture, kind of clay, content of organic matter, and soil structure.
Saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) refers to the ease with which pores in a
saturated soil transmit water. The estimates in the table are expressed in terms of
micrometers per second. They are based on soil characteristics observed in the
field, particularly structure, porosity, and texture. Saturated hydraulic conductivity
(Ksat) is considered in the design of soil drainage systems and septic tank
absorption fields.
Available water capacity refers to the quantity of water that the soil is capable of
storing for use by plants. The capacity for water storage is given in inches of water
per inch of soil for each soil layer. The capacity varies, depending on soil properties
that affect retention of water. The most important properties are the content of
organic matter, soil texture, bulk density, and soil structure. Available water capacity
is an important factor in the choice of plants or crops to be grown and in the design
and management of irrigation systems. Available water capacity is not an estimate
of the quantity of water actually available to plants at any given time.
Linear extensibility refers to the change in length of an unconfined clod as moisture
content is decreased from a moist to a dry state. It is an expression of the volume
change between the water content of the clod at 1/3- or 1/10-bar tension (33kPa or
10kPa tension) and oven dryness. The volume change is reported in the table as
percent change for the whole soil. The amount and type of clay minerals in the soil
influence volume change.
Linear extensibility is used to determine the shrink -swell potential of soils. The
shrink -swell potential is low if the soil has a linear extensibility of less than 3
percent; moderate if 3 to 6 percent; high if 6 to 9 percent; and very high if more than
9 percent. If the linear extensibility is more than 3, shrinking and swelling can cause
damage to buildings, roads, and other structures and to plant roots. Special design
commonly is needed.
Organic matter is the plant and animal residue in the soil at various stages of
decomposition. In this table, the estimated content of organic matter is expressed
as a percentage, by weight, of the soil material that is less than 2 millimeters in
diameter. The content of organic matter in a soil can be maintained by returning
crop residue to the soil.
Organic matter has a positive effect on available water capacity, water infiltration,
soil organism activity, and tilth. It is a source of nitrogen and other nutrients for
crops and soil organisms.
Erosion factors are shown in the table as the K factor (Kw and Kf) and the T factor.
Erosion factor K indicates the susceptibility of a soil to sheet and rill erosion by
water. Factor K is one of six factors used in the Universal Soil Loss Equation
(USLE) and the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) to predict the
average annual rate of soil loss by sheet and rill erosion in tons per acre per year.
The estimates are based primarily on percentage of silt, sand, and organic matter
and on soil structure and Ksat. Values of K range from 0.02 to 0.69. Other factors
being equal, the higher the value, the more susceptible the soil is to sheet and rill
erosion by water.
Erosion factor Kw indicates the erodibility of the whole soil. The estimates are
modified by the presence of rock fragments.
25

Custom Soil Resource Report
Erosion factor Kf indicates the erodibility of the fine -earth fraction, or the material
less than 2 millimeters in size.
Erosion factor T is an estimate of the maximum average annual rate of soil erosion
by wind and/or water that can occur without affecting crop productivity over a
sustained period. The rate is in tons per acre per year.
Wind erodibility groups are made up of soils that have similar properties affecting
their susceptibility to wind erosion in cultivated areas. The soils assigned to group 1
are the most susceptible to wind erosion, and those assigned to group 8 are the
least susceptible. The groups are described in the "National Soil Survey Handbook."
Wind erodibility index is a numerical value indicating the susceptibility of soil to wind
erosion, or the tons per acre per year that can be expected to be lost to wind
erosion. There is a close correlation between wind erosion and the texture of the
surface layer, the size and durability of surface clods, rock fragments, organic
matter, and a calcareous reaction. Soil moisture and frozen soil layers also
influence wind erosion.

Custom Soil Resource Report
Water Features
This folder contains tabular reports that present soil hydrology information. The
reports (tables) include all selected map units and components for each map unit.
Water Features include ponding frequency, flooding frequency, and depth to water
table.
Water Features
This table gives estimates of various soil water features. The estimates are used in
land use planning that involves engineering considerations.
Hydrologic soil groups are based on estimates of runoff potential. Soils are
assigned to one of four groups according to the rate of water infiltration when the
soils are not protected by vegetation, are thoroughly wet, and receive precipitation
from long -duration storms.
The four hydrologic soil groups are:
Group A. Soils having a high infiltration rate (low runoff potential) when thoroughly
wet. These consist mainly of deep, well drained to excessively drained sands or
gravelly sands. These soils have a high rate of water transmission.
Group B. Soils having a moderate infiltration rate when thoroughly wet. These
consist chiefly of moderately deep or deep, moderately well drained or well drained
soils that have moderately fine texture to moderately coarse texture. These soils
have a moderate rate of water transmission.
Group C. Soils having a slow infiltration rate when thoroughly wet. These consist
chiefly of soils having a layer that impedes the downward movement of water or
soils of moderately fine texture or fine texture. These soils have a slow rate of water
transmission.
Group D. Soils having a very slow infiltration rate (high runoff potential) when
thoroughly wet. These consist chiefly of clays that have a high shrink -swell
potential, soils that have a high water table, soils that have a claypan or clay layer at
or near the surface, and soils that are shallow over nearly impervious material.
These soils have a very slow rate of water transmission.
If a soil is assigned to a dual hydrologic group (A/D, B/D, or C/D), the first letter is
for drained areas and the second is for undrained areas.
Surface runoff refers to the loss of water from an area by flow over the land surface.
Surface runoff classes are based on slope, climate, and vegetative cover. The
concept indicates relative runoff for very specific conditions. It is assumed that the
surface of the soil is bare and that the retention of surface water resulting from
irregularities in the ground surface is minimal. The classes are negligible, very low,
low, medium, high, and very high.
The months in the table indicate the portion of the year in which a water table,
ponding, and/or flooding is most likely to be a concern.
Water table refers to a saturated zone in the soil. The water features table indicates,
by month, depth to the top ( upper limit ) and base ( lower limit ) of the saturated
zone in most years. Estimates of the upper and lower limits are based mainly on
32

Custom Soil Resource Report
observations of the water table at selected sites and on evidence of a saturated
zone, namely grayish colors or mottles (redoximorphic features) in the soil. A
saturated zone that lasts for less than a month is not considered a water table. The
kind of water table, apparent or perched, is given if a seasonal high water table
exists in the soil. A water table is perched if free water is restricted from moving
downward in the soil by a restrictive feature, in most cases a hardpan; there is a dry
layer of soil underneath a wet layer. A water table is apparent if free water is present
in all horizons from its upper boundary to below 2 meters or to the depth of
observation. The water table kind listed is for the first major component in the map
unit.
Ponding is standing water in a closed depression. Unless a drainage system is
installed, the water is removed only by percolation, transpiration, or evaporation.
The table indicates surface water depth and the duration and frequency of ponding.
Duration is expressed as very brief if less than 2 days, brief if 2 to 7 days, long if 7
to 30 days, and very long if more than 30 days. Frequency is expressed as none,
rare, occasional, and frequent. None means that ponding is not probable; rare that it
is unlikely but possible under unusual weather conditions (the chance of ponding is
nearly 0 percent to 5 percent in any year); occasional that it occurs, on the average,
once or less in 2 years (the chance of ponding is 5 to 50 percent in any year); and
frequent that it occurs, on the average, more than once in 2 years (the chance of
ponding is more than 50 percent in any year).
Flooding is the temporary inundation of an area caused by overflowing streams, by
runoff from adjacent slopes, or by tides. Water standing for short periods after
rainfall or snowmelt is not considered flooding, and water standing in swamps and
marshes is considered ponding rather than flooding.
Duration and frequency are estimated. Duration is expressed as extremely brief if
0.1 hour to 4 hours, very brief if 4 hours to 2 days, brief if 2 to 7 days, long if 7 to 30
days, and very long if more than 30 days. Frequency is expressed as none, very
rare, rare, occasional, frequent, and very frequent. None means that flooding is not
probable; very rare that it is very unlikely but possible under extremely unusual
weather conditions (the chance of flooding is less than 1 percent in any year); rare
that it is unlikely but possible under unusual weather conditions (the chance of
flooding is 1 to 5 percent in any year); occasional that it occurs infrequently under
normal weather conditions (the chance of flooding is 5 to 50 percent in any year);
frequent that it is likely to occur often under normal weather conditions (the chance
of flooding is more than 50 percent in any year but is less than 50 percent in all
months in any year); and very frequent that it is likely to occur very often under
normal weather conditions (the chance of flooding is more than 50 percent in all
months of any year).
The information is based on evidence in the soil profile, namely thin strata of gravel,
sand, silt, or clay deposited by floodwater; irregular decrease in organic matter
content with increasing depth; and little or no horizon development.
Also considered are local information about the extent and levels of flooding and the
relation of each soil on the landscape to historic floods. Information on the extent of
flooding based on soil data is less specific than that provided by detailed
engineering surveys that delineate flood -prone areas at specific flood frequency
levels.

Dear Mountain View Fire Department
Hello, my name is Adam Gaines and I am an engineer who is working with a farmer by
the name of Seth church in Wilkes County. This farmer is applying to build a composter on
Brewer Rd. in Hays, NC. I believe you are the fire department that would be responsible in the
event of a fire at this facility. As a part of the permit application package, we are required to
notify you about its possible construction. The facility will be composting waste from a butcher
and this compost can get hot enough to combust. Though this is a possibility it is easily
avoidable for Mr. Church. If there are any questions, feel free to email me an
againeskagriwaste.com or call me back at 919-367-6323.
Sincerely,
Adam Gaines
