The largest job represented here is the cleanup of the Component
table, Component Name data element.

| Component |
Comp % (RV) |
|
For any mapunit less than 100% - add "Minor Components" to equal
100% (component kind = series). Hydric components have their own line. |
| Component Name |
soil and approved miscellaneous area names |
Remove any parentheses or other phase information. Capture
parentheses correlation decisions in mapunit history table as
correlation amendment notes.
For soil name changes: Event =
Amendment
and
Kind = Name Change; For phase differences (texture,
slope, etc.): Event = Amendment and KIND =
Notes to Accompany. Also populate "Local Phase" in Component Table. |
| Kind |
|
Check to verify correct; See definitions of Miscellaneous
areas. |
| Major Component Flag |
Yes or No; Yes except for hydric inclusions |
We are not populating data for minor components at this time. Check
to make sure this is "Yes" for all major components and "No" for
minor components (hydric components per official hydric list and "Minor Components"
from Comp % RV above). |
| Slope Gradient (L,RV,H) |
|
Check against mapunit name - Use NASIS M018 report "Check - Slope" |
| T |

| Drainage Class |

| Hydrologic Group |
|
Do away with dual classes (B/D, C/D, etc.); Rock Outcrop is "D" (globally assigned). |

| Component Month |
Month |
all 12 months |
None |
| Flooding Frequency |
enter “none” for all months if no flooding
at any time during the year |
Check against published soil survey; only one frequency per mapunit.
"None" for any soils that don't flood. Nulls allowed for
flooded soils in non-flooded months. |
| Flooding Duration |
|
Check against published soil survey |
| Ponding Frequency |
enter “none” for all months if no ponding
at any time during the year |
Check against published soil survey; only one frequency per mapunit.
"None" for any soils that don't pond. Nulls allowed for ponded
soils in non-ponded months. |
| Ponding Duration |
|
Check against published soil survey |
| Ponding Depth

Check against published soil survey |
| Component Soil Moisture |
Moisture Status |
required if status = wet |
Check for all hydric components. If perched, make sure that a non-wet row follows a wet row. |
| Top Depth (L,RV,H) |
|
Check to verify that Low-High-RV are populated for ALL rows used in
the table. For perched water tables (3 rows in table) populate the
restrictive layer Low and High values
from OSD; RV from survey data. |
| Component Restrictions |
Kind |
required if kind = bedrock lithic or paralithic |
Also required for fragipans in TN. High and Low will be globally
assigned for null values. |
| Top Depth (L,RV,H) |
|
Make RV agree with TP from published soil survey and horizon
depths. |
| Component Interpretation |
Kind |
required only if kind = hydric; already populated for existing data |
Check hydric minor components to make sure they agree with
published official hydric list |
| Rating |
required only if hydric rating = yes; already populated for existing data |
Check or populate for all hydric components |
| Restriction |
required only if interp kind = hydric and interp rating = yes; already populated for existing data |
Check or populate for all hydric components |
| Component Geomorphic Description |
RV? |
required for all hydric components only at this
time, populate columns as appropriate; See glossary of landform terms (Required for all components in N2) |
Populate with Yes then populate landform, exists on, and landscape |
