Soils Information:
Ockley silt loam, 0-2 % slopes- This nearly level, deep well drained soil is mainly on broad
terraces. Permeability and available water capacity is moderate. This soil is suitable for urban
development. Features that adversely affect engineering uses of this soil are moderate frost
action, moderate shrink-swell potential, moderate permeability in the subsoil and very rapid
permeability in the under lying material.
Oakley silt loam, 2-6 % slope, eroded- This gently sloping, deep well drained soil is mainly on
broad terraces. Permeability and available water capacity is moderate. This soil is suitable for
urban development. Features that adversely affect engineering uses of this soil are moderate frost
action, moderate shrink-swell potential, moderate permeability in the subsoil and very rapid
permeability in the under lying material. This soil has severe limitations for local roads because
of low strength. The base material of roads needs to be strengthened with suitable material.
Westland silty clay loam- This nearly level, deep, very poorly drained soil is in depressions,
swales, and narrow drainageways on outwash plains. Runoff from higher adjacent soils is
ponded on this soil. Permeability is slow. The water table is commonly at the surface or is at a
depth of less than one foot in winter and early spring. Available water capacity is high. Surface
runoff is ponded or is very slow. The main soil features that adversely affect engineering uses of
this soil are a seasonal high water table, high potential frost action, moderate shrink-swell
potential, and slow permeability. The base material for roads needs to be replaced or
strengthened with suitable material.
Fox loam, 8 to 18 % slopes, severely eroded- This moderate sloping, well-drained soil is on side
slopes adjacent to drainageways on terraces and in domelike areas on uplands. It is moderately
deep over sand and gravelly sand. Permeability is moderate in the subsoil and rapid in the
underlying material. Available water capacity is low. This soil has moderate limitations for urban
development (Slope). Features that adversely affect engineering uses of this soil are moderate
frost action, moderate shrink-swell potential, moderate permeability in the subsoil and very rapid
permeability in the under lying material. Topsoil should be stockpiled for use in exposed areas.
Additional information about soils is available in the "Soil Survey of Hamilton County". The engineer and/or
developer should consider the need for an onsite soils investigation.
I have reviewed the plans for this project and have the following comments'
· This project will require an erosion and sediment control plan to be in compliance with
327IAC15-5 (Rule 5).
· What type of crossing is proposed where the proposed path crosses the Vestal Drain?
Should you have questions concerning these comments, please contact me.

RE: River Road Park
We have a TAC only file, it is in my office on the bookshelf with the soup cans.
Thanks,

While you are assigning Docket Numbers, please check River Road Park. This was added late to the TAC. I'm not
sure we set up a file.
