Table 7.--Construction Materials
(Some terms that describe restrictive soil features are defined in the "Glossary." See text for definitions
of "poor," "fair," and other terms. Absence of an entry indicates that the soil was not rated. The
information in this table indicates the dominant soil condition but does not eliminate the need for
onsite investigation)
