Soils Drainage Class
Drainage class (natural)" refers to the frequency and duration of wet periods under conditions similar to those under which the soil formed. Alterations of the water regime by human activities, either through drainage or irrigation, are not a consideration unless they have significantly changed the morphology of the soil. Seven classes of natural soil drainage are recognized-excessively drained, somewhat excessively drained, well drained, moderately well drained, somewhat poorly drained, poorly drained, and very poorly drained. These classes are defined in the "Soil Survey Manual.The State of Connecticut defines inland wetlands based on soils. The Connecticut Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Act defines wetland soils to include any of the soil types designated as poorly drained, very poorly drained, alluvial, or floodplain by the National Cooperative Soil Survey, as may be periodically amended, of the Natural Resources Conservation Service of the United States Department of Agriculture.Map units dominated by Connecticut inland wetland soils may have inclusions of non-wetland soils, and non-wetland map units may have inclusions of Connecticut inland wetland soils. On site investigation is necessary to determine the presence or absence of wetland soils in a particular area.This data set is a digital soil survey and generally is the mostdetailed level of soil geographic data developed by the NationalCooperative Soil Survey. The information was prepared by digitizingmaps, by compiling information onto a planimetric correct baseand digitizing, or by revising digitized maps using remotelysensed and other information.This data set consists of georeferenced digital map data andcomputerized attribute data. The map data are in a soil survey areaextent format and include a detailed, field verified inventoryof soils and miscellaneous areas that normally occur in a repeatablepattern on the landscape and that can be cartographically shown atthe scale mapped. The soil map units are linked to attributes in theNational Soil Information System relational database, which gives
