UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Soil Conservation Service South National Technical Center Fort Worth, Texas Classification and Correlation of the soil s of 401 ISSUED Columbus County, North Carolina The final field review for Columbus County, North Carolina, was held April 9-12, 1984. Participating were Willie Spruill, Soil Survey Party Leader, and Berman Hudson, Assistant State Soil Scientist. The final field review report and field correlation were submitted in December 1984. The review of the field correlation was made at the South National Tecnical Center during August 1985 by Richard Mayhugh. Materials available included the Soil Handbook, field notes, soil survey field sheets, laboratory data for selected series, field observation made during reviews and study trips, and a set of completed SCS-SOI-6 forms. These studies and materials are the basis for approval of the final correlation. Soil Legend The first letter, always a capital, is the initial letter of the soil name. The second letter is a small letter. The third letter, if used, is always a capital and shows the slopes. Symbols without slope letters are those of nearly level soils or miscellaneous areas. Symbols consisting of two capital letters represent map units that are more variable in composition than other units in the survey area. However, composition has been controlled well enough for interpretations to be made for the expected uses of the soil.

Short Steep Slope - Small areas that have a change in elevation of 10 to 30 feet and are 50 to 200 feet wide. These areas are along stream banks and between uplands and flood plains. Mine or Quarry - Small areas (less than 5 acres) where stone or gravel has been removed. Sandy Spot - Small area (less than 5 acres) of sandy SOl Is, which occur in areas of loamy or clayey soils. Better drained s~ot - Small areas that are moderately well rained or well drained and are two drainage classes drier than the soil in the surrounding area.

Type location for the series. Texture for the subsoil (9-26 inches) is borderline between fine sandy loam and loamy fine sand. See notes to accompany classification and correlation for more details. !I This pedon is a taxadjunct to the Gritney series because the subsoil is more clayey than allowed. It ~s an inclusion in the Grifton map unit. This pedon is a taxadjunct to the Grifton series because the upper subsoil is slightly less clayey than allowed. It is included with the Grifton map unit. This pedon is a taxadjunct to the Lumber series. See notes to accompnay classification and correlation for more details. 2.1 &.1 !/ This data indicates this pedon had slightly less clayey in the subsoil (control section) than is allowed in the Nakina series. Other data shows it with mo,re clay and within the fine-loamy family. The liquid limit in the Ap horizon seems high for a fine sandy loam with 3 percent clay. Liquid limit is outside of the range on the Soils 5. I -11- NOTES TO ACCOMPANY CLASSIFICATION AND CORRELATION OF THE SOIL OF COLUMBUS COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA By Richard Mayhugh 1. Flooding frequency was added to the names of map units Br, CC, Do, JS, Me, Mk, and Wn during final correlation to conform to current nomenclature for these conditions. 2. Gritney loamy fine sand, 2 to 15 percent slopes was changed to Gritney loamy fine sand, 2 to 7 percent slopes. It was determined that these were only very small inclusions in this unit with slopes exceeding 7 percent. Foreston Series The Bt horizon has slightly less silt plus clay (28) than allowed for a fine sandy loam according to lab data. However this is considered within the range of allowable lab error and therefore is considered a fine sandy loam and within the Foreston Series. Lumbee Series The Bt horizon has 16 percent clay, slightly less than allowed in the series. Therefore, these soils are considered taxajuncts to the Lumbee series. They will classify as coarse-loamy over sandy or sandy skeletal. Use and management is very similar to the Lumbee series. Nakina Series The Nakina series is proposed with type location in this survey area and established in the correlation of Dorchester County, South Carolina. These soils formerly were included with Stockade soils. They have siliceous mineralogy. Stockade soils have mixed mineralogy. Pender Series The Pender Series is proposed in Pender County for soils formed in loamy coastal plains sediments over weathered marl. It is established by this correlation. Una Series The map unit Una and Chennby soils, frequently flooded, is changed to Chastain and Chenneby soils, frequently flooded. Una soils are generally mapped in the Mississippi River system where there is a possibility of different 'soil minerals. The Chastain series, mapped in the coastal plains, does not have a regular decrease in organic matter to .02 to depth of 50 inches. Otherwise Chastain and Una soil are very simi1iar. These soils in this survey area probably have the irregular decrease in organic mater or have more than .02 percent at 50 inches. COLUMBUS COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA -12- Wakulla Series Data shows coarse sand as the dominant size sand in 3 of the 5 horizons sampled. Texture of all horizons are changed and official series and soils 5 changed to allow coarse sand texture. Map unit name is changed to Wakulla coarse sand, 0 to 6 percent slopes. Wilbanks Series Wilbanks soils in Columbus County are taxajunct to the Wilbanks Series because most of them have a Histic layer generally below a depth of 40 inches. Also, the clay content of the control section is slightly less than allowed in the series. Behavior, use and management of the soils are very similar. Laboratory Data The laboratory data listed in the field correlation is omitted. These were samples of only part of the pedon and only limited analysis was obtained. The significance of the data is that it did support the siliceous mineralogy and the fine-loamy family for the Nakina Series. -13- CONVERSION LEGEND COLUMBUS COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA Publi- Pu b 1 i - Publi- Field cation Field cation Field cation symbol svmbol symbo 1 symbol symbol symbol - 3B AuB 60 Mu 402 Jo 5 Ct 63 Na 411A GoA 5B AyB 66A NoA 417 Ly 6 Ct 66B NoB 430 St 7B BnB 69B NuB 458 Na 8B BuB 9 MIe 72 Ct 555B CrB 10 Be 75 Pa 558C GyB 11 Br 78B WIeB 582 LnB 12 Co 79 Pe 811 MIe 15B CrB 79B KuB 812 JS 18 Do 80 Pu 814 Lu 19 Ec 81 Ra 817 Pa, 21C GyB 82 Ru 818 Be 22A ExA 84 St 826 Me 24 Fa 86 NIe 830 Ra 27A GoA 87 To. 853 Co 30 Gr 88 Ud 877 Gr 33 Gt 89 CC 883 To 36 Jo 90B WaB 891 Mu 36B NuB 91 Do DA Do 39 JS 91B WkB LoB LnB 41 Fo 92 Ud PA Ct 42B KuB 93 Wn Pt Ud 45B WkB 94 Ut 46 WkB 190 Ce, 48 LnB 366A NoA 50 LnB 366B NoB 51 Lu 369B WaB 54 Ly 371B AuB 57 Me 371B AuB 390B AyB COLUMBUS COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA -14- CLASSIFICATION OF THE SOILS Soil Name Autryvi 11 e Aycock Bethera Family or higher taxonomic class Loamy, siliceous, thermic Arenic Paleudults Fine-silty, siliceous, thermic Typic Paleudults Clayey, mixed, thermic Typic Paleaquults Blanton Loamy, siliceous, thermic Grossarenic Paleudults Fine, mixed, thermic Typic Umbraqualfs Coarse-loamy, siliceous, thermic Typic Paleudults Sandy, siliceous, thermic Grossarenic Entic Haplohumods Fine, mixed, acid, thermic Typic Fluvaquents Fine-silty, mixed, thermic Fluvaquentic Dystrochrepts Clayey, kaolinitic, thermic Typic Paleaquults Clayey, mixed, thermic Aquic Hapludults Loamy, siliceous, dysic, thermic Terric Medisaprists Dysic, thermic Typic Medisaprists Sandy, siliceous, thermic Entic Haplohumods Fine-silt~, siliceous, thermic Aquic Paleudults Coarse-loamy, siliceous, thermic Aquic Paleudults Fine-loamy, siliceous, thermic Aquic Paleudults Fine-silty, siliceous, thermic Typic Paleaquults I Brookman Butters Centenary Chastain Chenneby Coxvi 11 e Craven Croatan Dorovan Echaw Exum Fores ton Goldsboro Grantham Grifton Fine-loamy, siliceous, thermic Typic Ochraqualfs a ~IA 1/:: Clayey, mixed, thermic ~e Hapludults Fine-loamy over sandy or sandy-skeletal, siliceous, thermic Aquic Hapludults Gritney Johns Johnston Kureb Coarse-loamy, siliceous, acid, thermic Cumulic Humaquepts Thermic, uncoated Spodic Quartzipsamments COLUMBUS COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA -15- Soil Name Leon Family or higher taxonomic class Sandy, siliceous, thermic Aeric Haplaquods Fine-loamy over sandy or sandy-skeletal, siliceous, thermic Typic Ochraquults11 Fine-loamy, siliceous, thermic Aeric Paleaquults Fine, mixed, thermic Typic Albaqualfs Lumbee Lynchburg Meggett Muckalee Nahunta Coarse-loamy, siliceous, nonacid, thermic Typic Fluvaquents Sandy, siliceous, thermic Typic Haplaquods Fine-silty, siliceous, thermic Aeric Paleaquults Fine-loamy, siliceous, thermic Typic Umbraqualfs Fine-loamy, siliceous, thermic Typic Paleudults Fine-loamy, siliceous, thermic Umbric Paleaquults 4Ib~~lL'< J..
