Environment description: The underlying geology of this area is classified as Alluvium of Pleistocene/Holocene origin and consists of undifferentiated Quaternary sediments of varying thickness including siliciclastics, organics and freshwater carbonates. The siliciclastics are light gray, tan, brown to black, unconsolidated to poorly consolidated, clean to clayey, silty, unfossiliferous, variably organic-bearing sands to blue green to olive green, poorly to moderately consolidated, sandy, silty clays. Organics occur as plant debris, roots, disseminated organic matrix and beds of peat. Freshwater carbonates, often referred to as marls in the literature, are scattered.

The primary soil types in the collection area are classified as Pactolus Loamy Sand soils (0 to 5 percent slopes). The Pactolus Series consists of very deep, moderately well to somewhat poorly drained soils. Permeability is rapid. These Coastal Plain soils, typically found with streams and marine terraces and were formed by loamy and sandy fluvial sediments and marine sediments. The strata is, generally, uniformly loamy sand that is very friable and strongly acid from the surface to a depth of 1.8 meters.
