Slopes range from 0 to 3 percent. The Pootatuck soils in this survey area are a taxadjunct to the Pootatuck series because they do not have a layer of sandy loam at least 5 inches thick above the IIC horizon. This difference does not significantly affect the use and management of the soils. Pootatuck soils are similar to Rippowam soils and in many places are near Windsor and Saco soils. Pootatuck soils are browner than Rippowam or Saco soils, are grayer in the substratum than Windsor soils, and have less silt than Saco soils.

It is fine sandy loam or sandy loam in the upper part and ranges from sandy loam to coarse sand in the lower part. The 110 horizon has hue of 10YR to 5Y, value of 5 or 6, and chroma of 2 or 3. It is stratified sand, gravel, or cobbles and ranges from loamy sand to very gravelly sand. Suncook series The Suncook series consists of deep, excessively drained soils on flood plains. The soils formed in sandy alluvial material. Slopes range from 0 to 3 percent. Suncook soils are similar to Hadley soils and in many places are near Winooski and Limerick soils. Suncook soils do not have the mottles typical of Winooski and Limerick soils and have less silt in the solum. Typical pedon of Suncook loamy fine sand, in a field 1,400 feet northeast of the southeast end of LaFleur Airport runway, on the bank of the Connecticut River, in the city of Northampton: 10 Soil survey Figure 4.—An area of the Amostown-Windsor silty substratum-Urban land complex in Northampton. BaA—Belgrade silt loam, 0 to 3 percent slopes. BaB—Belgrade silt loam, 3 to 8 percent slopes. These soils are deep and moderately well drained. The areas range from 5 to 50 acres. Map unit BaA consists of nearly level, broad areas or long, narrow areas Unit BaB consists of gently sloping small hills or long, narrow areas. Typically, the surface layer of these soils is very dark grayish brown sift loam about 10 inches thick. The subsoil is very fine sandy loam 20 inches thick. It is olive brown in the upper 5 inches, olive colored and mottled in the next 7 inches, and olive gray and mottled in the lower 8 inches. The substratum extends to a depth of 60 inches or more. It is olive gray, mottled very fine sandy loam to a depth of 51 inches and loose, yellowish brown loamy fine sand and fine sand at a depth of more than 51 inches. Included with these soils in mapping are a few small areas of Raynham soils. Also included are a few small areas in unit BaB of soils with slopes of 8 to 12 percent. Included areas make up about 15 percent of the acreage of these units. The permeability of these Belgrade soils is moderate in the subsoil and ranges from moderately rapid to slow in the substratum. Available water capacity is high. The root zone extends into the substratum. These soils have a seasonal high water table in the lower part of the subsoil in winter and spring. Reaction in unlimed areas ranges from strongly acid to neutral in the subsoil and from medium acid to neutral in the substratum. Most areas of these soils are farmed (fig. 5). Some areas are in woodland, and the soils are suited to trees. Some areas have been developed for homesites. These soils are well suited to cultivated crops and to hay and pasture. The main management concern is wetness caused by the seasonal high water table. Wet spots in these units need drainage, and farming operations must be timely. Minimum tillage helps to reduce soil compaction. Minimum tillage and the use of cover crops and grasses and legumes in the cropping system help to reduce runoff and improve filth in cultivated areas. The use of contour tillage in unit BaB helps to control the moderate hazard of erosion. Mixing crop residue and manure into the surface layer improves Hampshire County, Massachusetts, Central Part tilth and increases the organic matter content Proper stocking rates, deferred grazing, and pasture rotation help to maintain desirable pasture plant species. Restricted grazing when the soils are saturated helps to prevent damage to the sod. The seasonal high water table is the main limitation of these soils as a building site. Slope is also a limitation of unit BaB as a site for small commercial buildings. The slow permeability of these soils and the seasonal high water table are limitations for septic tank absorption fields. Unit BaA is in capability subclass Ilw, and unit BaB is in capability subclass Ile. BoA—Boxford silt loam, 0 to 3 percent slopes. BoB—Boxford silt loam, 3 to 8 percent slopes. These soils are deep and moderately well drained. The areas range from 5 to 30 acres. Unit BoA consists 11 of nearly level and broad areas or long, narrow areas. Unit BoB consists of gently sloping small hills. Typically, the surface layer of these soils is friable, very dark grayish brown silt loam about 8 inches thick. The subsoil is 25 inches thick. It is friable, brown silt loam in the upper 6 inches; friable, olive brown silty clay loam in the next 7 inches; and firm, olive, mottled silty clay loam in the lower 12 inches. The substratum consists of firm, olive, mottled layers of silt and clay to a depth of 60 inches or more. Included with these soils in mapping are a few areas with a surface layer of very fine sandy loam and a few small areas with small amounts of gravel throughout. Also included are a few small areas of Scitico soils. Included areas make up about 15 percent of the acreage of these units. The permeability of these Boxford soils is slow, and available water capacity is high. The root zone extends Figure 5.—Harvesting cabbage on Belgrade silt loam, 0 to 3 percent slopes. Hampshire County, Massachusetts, Central Part The solum is 20 to 40 inches thick. Reaction ranges from very strongly acid to slightly acid in unlimed areas. The Ap horizon has hue of 10YR or 2.5Y, value of 3 to 5, and chrome of 2 to 4. The B horizon has hue of 10YR to SY and value and chroma of 3 to 6. Low-chroma mottles are at a depth of less than 24 inches. The IIC horizon has hue of 10YR to 5Y, value of 4 to 6, and chroma of 1 to 4. It ranges mainly from loamy fine sand to sand. Thin strata of sandy loam, silt loam, or gravel are in some pedons. Raynham series The Raynham series consists of deep, poorly drained soils on old lakebeds. The soils formed in glaciolacustrine deposits. Slopes range from 0 to 3 percent. Raynham soils are similar to Belgrade soils and in many places are near Boxford soils. Raynham soils have grayer colors than those soils and have less clay than Boxford soils.
