The Soils of The Regional Municipality of Ottawa=Carleton

The NG2 and D3 units both represent
mineral soils as determined
fromthe map legend . Therefore,
From Table 9, the Ag . Cap . Rating
of NG2
2*
From Table 9, the Ag . Cap . Rating
of D3
2*
Therefore, theAg . Cap. Rating for
the entire area represented bythe
map symbol = 2W
#5 . Compound Map Unit Symbol
= 2W (dominant unitmore
than 40% of
the area)
= 2W (significant
unit- 20to 40% of
the area)

from themap legend . Therefore,
From Table 9, the Ag . Cap . Rating

From Table 9, the Ag . Cap . Rating

Therefore, the Ag . Cap . Rating for

#6 . Compound Map Unit Symbol
Figure 34 .
Example portion of a soil map for the Ottawa-Carleton
Region .
Map Symbol = G1 .S-RK1
S1 .2-2
G1 .S is a soil landscape unit representing mineral soils
and is a shallow soil phase . RK 1 is a land type unit .
FromTable 9, the Ag . Cap . Rating
ofG1 .S = 3RP
S I .2
(dominant unit)
From Table 11, the Ag . Cap . Rating
ofRK 1 = 7 R (significant unit)
2
Therefore, the Ag . Cap. Rating for
the entire area represented by the
map symbol = 3RP-7 _R
For examples #4, #5, and #6, two ratings must be determined
. The first map unit shown inthe compound symbol
is the dominantly occurring unit, and occupies more
than 40% ofthe area . The second map unit shown is the
significantly occurring unit, and occupies 20to40% of
the area .
