C-22 to 60 inches: olive (5Y 4/3) gravelly sandy loam;
massive; firm; 30 percent coarse fragments; medium
acid.
The solum is 20 to 34 inches thick. The content of
rock fragments ranges from 5 to 35 percent. Reaction
ranges from very strongly acid to medium acid in unlined
areas.
The Ap horizon has hue of 10YR, value of 3 or 4, and
chroma of 2 to 4. It is fine sandy loam or sandy loam.
The B21 horizon has hue of 7.5YR or 10YR and value
and chroma of 4 to 6. The B22 horizon has hue of 10YR
to 5Y and value and chroma of 4 to 6. The B horizon is
fine Andy loam, loam, or sandy 'nem and their gravelly
analogs. It has weak granular or subangular blocky
structure.
The C horizon has hue of 2.5Y or 5Y, value of 4 to 3,
and chroma of 2 to 4. It is fine sandy loam or sandy
loam and their gravelly analogs. Thin, horizontally
discontinuous layers or pockets of loamy sand 1 to 6
inches thick are in some pedons.
Deerfield series
The Deerfield series consists of deep, moderately well
drained soils on glacial outwash plains and terraces. The
soils formed in sandy glacial outwash. Slopes range from
0 to 8 percent.
Deerfield soils are similar to Windsor soils and in many
places are near Ninigret and Agawam soils. Deerfield
soils have mottles, but Windsor and Agawam soils are
not mottled. Deerfield soils have more sand in the solum
than Ninigret or Agawam soils.
Typical pedon of Deerfield loamy fine sand, 0 to 5
percent slopes, in a cultivated field 600 feet west of
Route 116 and 2,200 feet north of its intersection with
Sunderland Road, in the town of Amherst:

sand; weak fine and medium granular structure;very
friable; many roots; strongly acid; abrupt smooth
boundary.

fine sand grading with depth to fine sand; weak
medium granular structure; very friable; common fine
roots; slightly acid; clear smooth boundary.

sand; common fine distinct yellowish red (5Yn 4/8)
and strong brown (7.5YR 5/6) mottles and few
medium distinct fight brownish gray (2.5Y 6/2)
mottles; single grain; loose; few fine roots; slightly
acid; clear smooth boundary.

olive (5Y 5/4) sand and fine sand; many medium
distinct yellowish brown (10YR 5/8) mottles;
massive; friable; slightly acid; clear smooth
boundary.
C3g-43 to 55 inches; gray (5Y 5/1) and light olive gray
(5Y 6/2) loamy fine sand; thin bands of fine sandy
loam; many fine to coarse prominent yellowish red
(5YR 5/8) and reddish yellow (5YR 6/8) mottles;
massive; very triable; common strong brown (7.5YR
5/8) streaks and bands; medium acid; clear smooth
boundary.
C4g-55 to 60 inches; olive gray (5Y 4/2) fine sand;
massive; very friable; many olive (5Y 5/3) streaks:
medium acid.
The solum is 20 to 30 inches thick. The content of
coarse fragments is typically less than 5 Nercent, but
some strata are 20 percent fine gravel. Reaction ranges
from very strongly acid to slightly acid in unlined areas.
The Ap horizon has hue of 10YR, value of 2 to 4,and
chroma of 1 to 3.
The B horizon has hue of 7.5YR to 2.5Y, value of 310
6, and chroma of 2 to 6. It ranges from loamy fine sand
to coarse sand.
The C horizon has hue of 10YR to 5Y, value of 4 tot
and chroma of 1 to 4. It ranges from coarse sand to
loamy fine sand.
Enosburg series
The Enosburg series consists of deep, poorly draired
soils on glacial outwash plains and deltas. The sods
formed in a thin layer of glacial outwash material over
glaciolacustrine deposits. Slopes range from 0 to 8
percent.
Enosburg soils are similar to Amostown soils and
many places are near Deerfield and Windsor soils.
Enosburg soils have a grayer subsoil than any of
soils, and they have more silt in the substratum than
Deerfield or Windsor soils.
