The primary soil types in this collection area are Jena-Nugent complex soils (frequently flooded). The Jena Series consists of deep, well drained, moderately permeable soils that formed in thick loamy sediments on recent alluvial plains. These soils are on slightly convex natural levees of streams in the Coastal Plains. Water runs off the surface at a negligible to low rate. Slope is dominantly less than 1 percent, but ranges up to 3 percent. The Nugent Series consists of deep, excessively drained soils that formed in sandy alluvium that has thin strata of finer textured material. Permeability is moderately rapid. These soils are on natural levees on flood plains of streams that drain uplands of the Southern Coastal Plain. Slopes are 0 to 2 percent. These soils are strongly acid.
