Table 8.--Water Management
(Some terms that describe restrictive soil features are defined in the Glossary. See text for definitions of "slight,"
"moderate," and "severe." Absence of an entry indicates that the soil was not evaluated. The information in this table
indicates the dominant soil condition but does not eliminate the need for onsite investigation)
