From Pierce
County Geographic Information Services:
"Water ponds above the very slowly
permeable, weakly cemented, compact substratum during the rainy season.
Very few roots penetrate below a depth of 40 inches. The available water
capacity is low to moderate. Surface runoff is rapid, and the erosion
hazard severe ...This soil is
poorly suited to use as home sites (emphasis
added) because of the
steep slope...Cut slopes expose springs or seeps. This soil is well
suited to use as open space and wildlife habitat."
