Draft Plan for Review - Cherry Hill Township

Recommendations

Info

The soils in a majority of the Township are generally clay-like and therefore difficult for stormwater percolation. The soils tend to become sandier towards the Pine Barren area, further south and east in the Township. There are approximately 43 types of soils in the Township, with the most common being Freehold-Downer- Urban Land Complex, which are common in suburban areas with residential land uses. A soil association is a landscape that has a distinctive proportional pattern of soils, consisting of one or more major soil types and at least one minor type 16. Five soil associations dominate in Cherry Hill: Howell-Urban Land Association: Mainly present along the western side of the Township, near Merchantville and Pennsauken, closest to the Delaware River. The brown silty and clayey soils are common in gently sloping areas. It has a slow permeability rate and consequential high water table. It is acidic in nature, which may produce algae growth when adjacent to streams. Freehold-Homdel-Collington: Common along the Cooper River and in the Kingston Estates and Barclay Farms area. It is from greensand and varies from gently to strongly sloping in nature. These soils are fertile and slow to moderately permeable. The Freehold-Collington soils are well drained, while Holmdel soils are well to poorly-drained with a seasonal high water table. Marlton-Kresson Association: A narrow, wavy band of soils that are olive clay-like with varying slopes. Traditionally harboring fertilizing material, they are fertile despite their high content of clay. The Marlton soils drain better than the Kresson soils. Westphalia-Nixonton-Barclay Association: More present along the eastern edge of the Township Generally consist of fine sandy soils with varying slopes; they are present in a wide band parallel to the Delaware River. The topsoil is subject to quick permeability, slowing at subsurface levels making it subject to erosion. Muck-Alluvial Association: Subject to flooding due to their consistent location adjacent to the Cooper River and its tributaries. Often unbuildable due to a high water table and flood hazards. They are common in parks and open space.
