Kintner soil and landscape
Wooded landform showing Kintner loam, 1 to 3 percent slopes, occasionally flooded, very brief duration, and indurated limestone bedrock (Soil Survey of Harrison County, Indiana by Steven W. Neyhouse, Sr., Byron G. Nagel, Gary R. Struben, and Steven Blanford, Natural Resources Conservation Service).
Setting
Landform: Flood plains
Map Unit Composition
95 percent Kintner and similar soils
5 percent frequently flooded Kintner and similar soils on flood plains
Interpretive Groups
Land capability classification: 2w
Prime farmland: All areas are prime farmland
Properties and Qualities of the Kintner Soil
Parent material: Loamy-skeletal alluvium over Mississippian limestone bedrock
Drainage class: Moderately well drained
Permeability range to a depth of 40 inches: Moderate to rapid
Permeability range below a depth of 40 inches: Slow to rapid
Depth to restrictive feature: 40 to 60 inches to lithic bedrock
Available water capacity: About 6.5 inches to a depth of 60 inches
Organic matter content of surface layer: 1.0 to 3.0 percent
Shrink-swell potential: Low
Highest apparent seasonal high water table (depth, months): 2.5 feet; January,
February, and March
Ponding: None
Most likely flooding (frequency, months): Occasional; January, February, March, April,
May, and June
Hydric soil: No
Potential frost action: Moderate
Corrosivity: Low for steel and low for concrete
Potential for surface runoff: Low
Water erosion susceptibility: Slight
Wind erosion susceptibility: Slight
