rock types across the <strong>study</strong> area which combined with variable topography and coastal<br />
processes results in a variety of soil forming factors.<br />
Soil profiles undertaken by the DLWC in the <strong>study</strong> area and incorporated into the NSW soil<br />
data system are attached in Appendix B and are summarised in Table 2-2.<br />

The profiles in Table 2-2 indicate the soil profiles within the <strong>study</strong> area typically comprise silty<br />
clay loams over silty clays and medium to heavy clays.<br />
The physical properties of the areas soils have been characterised by testing undertaken by the<br />
Department of Public Works & Services which includes particle size distribution (sieve and<br />
hydrometer analysis) and Atterberg limits. Results of this testing are presented in<br />
Table 2-3.<br />
