3. Project Description
3a. Describe the existing conditions on the site and the general land use in the vicinity of the project at the time of this
application:
Existing conditions is currently woodland and stream basin. This section of the property is currently unused.
Surrounding the area of interest currently is 2 parking lots and some roadway in a industrial area.
3b. Attach an 8'/2 x 11 excerpt from the most recent version of -the USGS topographic map indicating the location of
the site
3c. Attach an 8' /z x 11 excerpt from the most recent version of the published County NRCS Soil Survey Map
depicting the project site
3d. List the total estimated linear feet of all existing streams (intermittent and perennial) on the property:
1500'
3e. Explain the purpose of the proposed project:
The purpose of the project is to provide an on -site walking trail /greenway for employees. Currently employees
walk or run on the roadways which possess a safety risk to employees. Novo Nordisk would like to provide a safer
alternative.
3f. Describe the overall project in detail, including the type of equipment to be used:
Phase 1: Establish a clear path for the trail. A 10' trail will be cut through the wooded area as shown on the
included drawing. The path on the drawing will be followed as closely as possible but will take a minimal impact
approach as to detour around the larger trees in the area. A Bobcat/skid steer type machine with a forestry cutter
will be utilized for path clearing; the material will be chipped /shredded and left in place. All deadfall encountered
along the way will also be chipped /shredded.
Phase 2: Once the path is cleared of all trees, and undergrowth the path will be graded to be acceptable for
walking /running purposes. Once the grading is complete a geotextile fabric or equivalent will be placed on the
ground to stabilize the path and prepare it for the top layer. A 4 -6" compacted layer of ABC stone will be utilized
as the top layer. For this process dump trucks will be utilized where possible to haul the ABC stone with
bulldozers and skid steers spreading the material. In areas that are difficult to access bulldozers will complete
both tasks of hauling and spreading the ABC stone.
Phase 3: The final phase is bridge construction through the riparian buffer. The bridge will be a wooden plank
bridge built on top of treated pilings. Pilings will be driven into the ground —10' to anchor the bridge. Pilings in the
riparian buffer will be minimized as much as possible and will not be placed in the creek bed. Currently the bridge
is planned to span 75' linear feet and be 8' wide. Pictures attached to this application show what the appearance
of the bridge will be once completed. A specialized piece of equipment will be utilized in this phase to drive the
piling in the ground.

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 oomposition 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 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.
10
Custom Soil Resource Report
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 landfonn 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 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.
