INTRODUCTIONThe first soil survey of the Lower Fraser Valley was completed in the late 1930's (Kelley and Spilsbury, 1939) . Thisvaluable publication adequately served its users for many years but as agricultural and other land use problemsbecame increasingly complex, the realization grew that a more detailed, larger-scale soil survey was required .To meet this need, a detailed resurvey of the Lower Fraser Valley was initiated in the late 1950's with fieldmapping being completed in the early 1970's . Included as well in the survey area were the adjacent CoastMountains and the southern part of the Sunshine Coast . The original impetus for the resurvey was supplied bythe Assessment Commissioner, B .C . Department of Finance who requested assistance in developing uniformland assessments in the Lower Fraser Valley. His request (for more detailed soil information) was stronglysupported by a variety of soil and land users .As the survey progressed, interim reports and soil maps (scale 1 :24000) were prepared, generally on amunicipal base . A total of eleven separate maps and ten reports were published . The current report, Soils of theLangley-1/ancouver Map Area, collates, summarizes and updates the soil information contained in most of theprevious interim series as well as presenting new information not published previously .Field mapping procedures and soil classification techniques changed over the period of years required for thesoil survey. Users of the interim maps and reports probably have noticed differences in terminology and soilclassification among them . The present report as much as possible, updates the information contained in theinterim series to current standards (The Canadian System of Soil Classification, 1978) and presents it in auniform, consistent manner.Soils of the Langley-Uancouver Map Area encompasses an area bounded on the west by the Strait of Georgiaand on the east by 122°00' west longitude (a north-south line passing between Chilliwack and Sumas Canal) .The southern boundary is the Canada-United States of America border (49th parallel) while 49°30' northlatitude forms the northern boundary. Included is the western part of the Lower Fraser Valley, the southern part ofthe Sunshine Coast and the southern edge of the Coast Mountains east to Chehalis Lake . Users will note thatsome areas, particularly in the vicinity of metropolitan Vancouver, are not mapped or classified . These consistmainly of areas which were already either partially or completely urbanized (or industrialized) at the time of thefield survey.Soils of the Langley-Vancouver Map Area is being produced, published and distributed in six volumes .Volume 1 consists of soil map mosaics (1 :25 000 scale) with legend, and covers the Lower Fraser Valley portionof the map area . Volume 2 contains soil maps (1 :50 000 scale) with legend, that encompass the remainder ofthe map area, mainly the southern Sunshine Coast and Coast Mountains . Volume 3 describes, in detail, thesoils mapped and classified in volumes 1 and 2 . It also generally discusses the environmental characteristics ofthe map area and contains a glossary and list of references . Volume 4 contains interpretations for specifiedengineering uses of the soils described in volume 3 (and mapped in volumes 1 and 2) . It contains informationregarding soil suitability (or limitations) for septic tank effluent disposal, basement construction and otherurban-related land uses . Also included are some interpretations for forest management concerns as well asinterpretations for recreational endeavours . Volume 5 is agriculturally oriented and contains informationregarding agricultural cropping and management . Included also in this volume are revised land capability foragriculture maps which replace those currently available . These maps are prepared at the scale of the soil mapsin volumes 1 and 2 . They are more detailed than the original provisional series, incorporate more definitiveclimatic data into the ratings and show improved (drained and/or irrigated) capability ratings as well as ratingswhen these management inputs are not considered . Volume 6 (this publication) consists of the detailed,technical soil profile descriptions of the soils discussed in Volume 3 . It also contains the results of chemical andphysical analyses of the sampled soils (or individual soil horizons) . Only a limited number of copies of volume 6are being produced, mainly for those persons who have day-to-day use for this detailed, specific data . Thisinformation is also stored in the British Columbia Soil Information System and others can, as required, requestthe data (or portions of it) directly from the data file .III
