Crop residue and soil-improving crops help to maintain organic matter content and protect the soil from erosion. Seedbed, preparation should indude bedding of the rows. Fertilizer and lime should be added according to the needs of the crop. Unless intensive management practices are used, this soil is poorly suited to citrus. A carefully designed water control system is required. Citrus trees should be planted on beds. and a plant cover should be maintained between the trees. Fertilizer and lime are needed. This soil is well suited to pastures of pangolagrass, improved bahiagrass, and white clover. Water-control measures are needed to remove excess surface water after heavy rainfall. Fertilizer and lime are needed, and grazing should be controlled to prevent overgrazing and weakening of the plants. Typically, the South Florida Flatwoods range site includes areas of this soil. The dominant vegetation is scattered pine trees with an understory of saw palmetto and grass. If good grazing management practices are used, this range site has the potential to produce significant amounts of creeping bluestem, lopsided indiangrass, chalky bluestem, and various panicums. If range deterioration occurs, saw palmetto and pineland threeawn are dominant. The potential productivity for pine trees is moderately high. The major concerns in management are seedling mortality, plant competition, and the equipment use limitation during periods of heavy rainfall. South Florida slash pilTe and slash'.pine are the best trees to plant. This soil is severely limited as a site for urban development because of the wetness. The high water table interferes with proper functioning of septic tank absorption fields. The absorption fields can be elevated by adding fill material. To overcome the problems caused by wetness on sites used for buildings or local roads and streets, a drainage system can be installed to lower the high water table or fill material can be added to increase the effective depth to the high water table. The wetness and the sandy surface are severe limitations affecting recreational uses. A water-control system is needed to keep the high water table below a depth of 2.5 feet. Suitable topsoil or pavement can be used to stabilize the surface in heavy traffic areas. The capability subclass is IVw. 8-Hydraquents, clayey.

Under natural conditions, this soil is not suitable for cultivation, but with adequate water control it is well suited to most vegetable crops. The water-control system should remove water when crops are on the land and keep the soil saturated with water at other times. This soil is not suited to citrus. If adequate water-control measures are used, this soil is well suited to pastures of pangolagrass, bahiagrass, and white clover. Grazing should be controlled to maintain plant vigor and good ground cover. Fertilizer that is high in potash, phosphorus, and minor elements is needed along with lime. Typically, the Freshwater Marshes and Ponds range site includes areas of this soil. The dominant vegetation is an open expanse of grasses, sedges, rushes, and other herbaceous plants in areas where the soil generally is saturated or covered with water for at leas! 2 months during the year. If good grazing management practices are used, this range site has the potential to produce more forage than any of the other range sites. Chalky bluestem and blue maidencane dominate the drier parts of the site, and maidencane is dominant in the wetter parts. Other desirable forage includes cutgrass, bluejoint panicum, sloughgrass, and low panicums. Periodic high water levels provide a much needed natural deferment from overgrazing. If excessive grazing occurs, common carpetgrass, an introduced plant, tends to dominate the drier parts of the site. This soil is not suited to pine trees beca:use of the excessive wetness and the ponding. This soil has severe limitations affecting septic tank absorption fields, building sites, and local roads and streets. Special measures are required to overcome the excessive wetness. If this soil is used for urban development, the organic material needs to be removed, the area should be backfilled with suitable soil material, and water-control measures must be established. Excessive wetness and organic matter content are severe limitations affecting recreational uses. The capability subclass is Vllw. 14-Sparr sand, 0 to 5 percent slopes. This somewhat poorly drained soil is in areas of seasonally wet uplands and knolls on flatwoods. Areas of this soil range from about 10 to 40 acres. Slopes are smooth.

This map unit consists of areas that are more than 85 percent covered by buildings, streets, houses, schools, shopping centers, and industrial complexes. Urban land is mainly in larger towns and fringe areas. Open areas include lawns and pl?ygrounds. Because soils in urban areas have been reworked, they can no longer be recognized as a natural soil.

A few areas around large lakes are in oak hammocks. Wetness and droughtiness are severe limitations affecting cultivated crops. The number of suitable crops is limited unless very intensive management practices are used. If good water-control and soil-improving measures are used, some vegetable crops can be grown. A water-control system must remove excess water in wet periods and provide irrigation water in dry periods. .Crop rotation should keep close-growing, soil- improving crops on the land three-fourths of the time. Crop residue and soil-improving crops help to maintain organic water content and protect the soil from eroding. Seedbed preparation should include bedding of the rows. Fertilizer and lime should be added according to the needs of the crop. ' Unless very intensive water management practices are used, these soils are poorly suited to citrus.

Boulders and stones must be removed to prevent damage to equipment. Typically, the South Florida Flatwoods range site includes areas of this soil. The dominant vegetation is scattered pine trees with an understory of saw palmette and grass. If-good grazing management practices are used, this range site has the potential to produce significant amounts of creeping bluestem, lopsided indiangrass, chalky bluestem, and various panicums. If range deterioration occurs, saw palmetto and pinelant threeawn are dominant. t The potential productivity for pine trees is very h;gh.; The major concerns in management, caused by t~" wetness and boulders, are the severe equipment use limitation, seedling mortality, and plant competition. Slash pine and South Florida slash pine are the best trees to plant. This soil is severely limited as a site for urban and recreational uses because of the wetness. the high shrink-swell potential, and the clayey subsoil. A drainage system that lowers the seasonal high wale' table can reduce or overcome the wetness limitatio- Because of the wetness and the slow permeability. -SPS SLUDGE PASTEURIZING SYSTEM RECYCLING W~STE INTO A RESO RCE i . 0 s\udge Di8 . . o..U\ tJO", V H & H ~/ Inc.
