14 ESRM 311/SEFS 507 Field Trip Week #3, for use with accompanying map and soil descriptions Week 3 Field Trip - Arboretum trip Stop 1. Surprise soil. Stop 2. Urban fill. Mapped as as Inceptisol. Andept. This area is a combination of fill from the Lake Washington ship canal and other landfilling. Notice mottled appearance but lack of high water table in the winter. notice lack of OM Stop 3. Marsh Island, old trail. Mapped as Seattle series. Stop 4. Marsh Island, tall trees. Mapped as Seattle series. Note how most trees are small and spread out this site is an exception. Why? Stop 5. Marsh Island view from floating docks. Island mapped as Seattle series. Glacial action has created the many freshwater bodies in the State of Washington. Sedimentation has filled many in. Marsh Island is apparently the result of organic deposition in an environment where decomposition is slow. In addition, filling nearby areas might have pushed up organic material, forming islands. Note water table. Note appearance of OM. 27 Stop 6. Foster Island. Mapped as Bellingham (upper) and Seattle (lower areas) series. Clay soil; large trees. Note mottling within the soil profile. What caused this? Would this be a good garden soil? Between Stops 6 & 7. Recent construction on bank to prevent duck erosion. Large boulder on other side of the trail (glacial erratic). Stop at Arboretum building (only if necessary). Stop 7. French Drain Azalea Way. Mapped as series. The Arboretum wishes to keep Azalea Way grassed, but not muddy. Unfortunately, the soil situation here encourages subsoil water flow along restrictive layers on the slopes and surfacing on Azalea Way and below
15 sandy drift compacted layer water flow till silty sediments cut original slope Azalea Way fill A French drain (a drain that is buried) has been cut along the uphill side of Azalea Way to help alleviate this. Water theoretically passes into the drain and under Azalea Way. Is this working? sandy drift compacted layer water flow till silty sediments cut original slope Azalea Way fill drainage under Azalea Way gravel filled french drain Stop 8. Modified French drain. Located at the bottom of the slope as a trench with rock exposed to help drain away (especially) surface water. Mapped as Bellingham series. Note that marks on a map that look like this...( ) could represent what? Some maps may have different symbols to represent the same parameter. What would this mean to the desired uses of the Arboretum? What steps would need to be taken to increase the suitability of this soil for use by the Arboretum. 29 University of Washington Arboretum 3.5 mile loop ~8 stops Soil management Soil series Land use Week 3 Field Trip 15
