St_Stallings fine sandSt-Stallings fine sand.
This nearly level to gently sloping, somewhat poorly drained soil is on broad smooth flats and on low
ridges on the uplands. Areas are small in size and irregular in shape. Most of the acreage is forested or is
used for residential and industrial sites. The native vegetation consists of longleaf pine, water oak, willow
oak, sweetgum, blackgum, red maple, waxmyrtle, and gallberry.
Typically, the surface layer is dark gray fine sand 8 inches thick. The subsurface layer is light yellowish
brown fine sand 6 inches thick. The subsoil, to a depth of 68 inches, is mottled light yellowish brown fine
sandy loam in the upper part. The middle part is mottled light gray and light brownish gray fine sandy
loam, and the lower part is mottled pale yellow loamy fine sand and fine sandy loam.
Included with this soil in mapping are small areas Of Leon, Lynn Haven, Seagate, and Rimini soils.
The organic-matter content of the surface layer is low. Permeability is moderately rapid, available water
capacity is medium, and shrink-swell potential is low. Reaction is strongly acid or very strongly acid
throughout where this soil is not limed. The seasonal high water table is 1.5 to 2.5 feet below the surface.
A seasonal high water table is the main limitation in the use and management of this soil. Most lawn
grasses, shrubs, and trees are fairly easily established and maintained if supplementary irrigation is
occasionally used during long dry spells. Capability subclass IIw; woodland group 2w.
