Sierra Drive Property is underlain by the Cecil soil association. This soil association is described in the Woke County Soil Survey as gently sloping to steep, deep, well-drained soils that have a subsoil of firm red clay, derived mostly from gneiss and schist_ The Cecil soils of Wake County are acidic and low in natural fertility and organic matter content(Cawthorn 1 970).There are two soil mapping units within the property. CgC2 Cecil Gravelly Sandy Loam 6 to 10 percent slopes, eroded This soil is on short to long side slopes in the uplands.The surface layer is 3 to 7 inches thick and is a mix- ture of the original surface soil and material from the subsoil.The content of gravel in the surface layer ranges from 15 to 30 percent.The subsoil is red firm clay 30 to 45 inches thick. Infiltration is fair, and surface runoff is rapid. The hazard of further erosion is severe. CeF Cecil Sandy Loam 15 to 45 percent slopes This soil is on narrow side slopes bordering upland drainageways and is slightly to moderately eroded_ The surface layer is sandy loam 5 to 9 inches thick, where erasion is only slight. The surface layer is clay loam 3 to 6 inches thick where erosion is only moderate. The subsoil is red firm clay 30 to 36 inches thick. Infiltration is fair to good, and surface runoff is very rapid.This soil is highly susceptible to erosion.
