Class B - Moderate infiltration rates. Deep and
moderately deep, moderately well and well drained
soils with moderately coarse textures.
Class B/D - Drained/undrained hydrology
class of soils that can be drained and are classified.
Class C - Slow infiltration rates. Soils with layers
impeding downward movement of water, or soils with
moderately fine or fine textures.
Class C/D - Drained/undrained hydrology class of
soils that can be drained and classified.
Class D - Very slow infiltration rates. Soils are
clayey, have a high water table, or are shallow to an
impervious layer.
