The C horizon has hue of 10YR to 5Y, value of 4 to 0. and chroma of 1 to 4. It ranges from coarse sand to loamy fine sand. Enosburg series The Enosburg series consists of deep, poorly drekrd soils on glacial outwash plains and deltas.

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 ttres� soils, and they have more silt in the substratum tt1an Deerfield or Windsor soils. � . . - -�i — WI •v11 IlEtaitela IN CENTRAL NEW ENGLAND WATER RESOURCES DIVISION,U.S.GEOLOGICAL SURVEY IN COOPERATION WITH THE STATES OF c MASSACHUSETTS, NEW HAMPSHIRE, RHODE ISLAND, AND VERMONT CURRENT CONDITIONS WEB-Accessing the USGS massl current condGons page on the World-Wide Web will get you this monthly report 7-10 days ahead of the paper copy,and will reduce our mailing costs Other valuable USGS data are also available via the W WW.Please use the web whenever possible—'ht tp7f massl.er.usgs.gov/current_cond/current_cond.htmt—Thank you Surface-Water Runoff ' March 1997 .'. . - Ground-Water Levels - March 1997± ! •,,I o eu r-1 s • ' � I j 1 NH : CouE.weoxwm pµn( ..•... ____ ----.1 8 / N moo _ 4 cm4PARZONWM4 MONnRYE R nM 'ABOVE NO*an ma?Sahel uo.maa reel la(Inks rrimal ABOVE mNe.fE*test *tin 25°Etat el read VT 38-8W" / Il/ NJ1wK VG E Kn�rt.J VT :::: N NCN.�.LL WNfE eElIIwNORMAL . ol taxed InnEi S .Ym GAGE M Ym.Jan is 065EPVwlpN WELL •Rw�m ../ j �/ •� 1S' ' Ss PSa _N.na.veEm E. b NaES -±,a�21 rP i' NLou.ETEnS I 1 21 t 0 1 2 o .o.E,� CURRENT CONDITIONS WEB-Accessing the USGS massl current condGons page on the World-Wide Web will get you this monthly report 7-10 days ahead of the paper copy,and will reduce our mailing costs Other valuable USGS data are also available via the W WW.Please use the web whenever possible—'ht tp7f massl.er.usgs.gov/current_cond/current_cond.htmt—Thank you
