OBJECTIVE 1: Establish and implement a regional approach to soil survey field operations. GOAL B: Collect accurate supporting documentation that facilitates proper determination of soil taxonomic classifications, establishes a valid range in characteristics, and addresses the composition of all map units that occur within the Pulaski County Soil Survey Subset area.

Action Items Team Member Scheduled Date Completed Date 1. Set MLRA standards for recording activities. Establish a soil properties 'hit' list for each soil series correlated within the Indiana Headwaters MLRA Project Office area. Coordinate efforts with adjacent states and MLRA Project Offices. Select standard forms to be used for transects and descriptions. Team WDB 1/98 See AR 4/97 2. Complete soil transects within the project area. (Quantity based on NSH part 627.04, MOU guidelines, and analysis of 1968 Pulaski County Soil Survey map unit inventory.) See Attached Table "Long Range Goals" and "Transect Workload analysis worksheet." Team Continuing 3. Write narrative field notes, as deemed necessary by the soil scientist conducting the field work, to document common place and unique observations which may aid in the development of the soil survey subset manuscript. Team Continuing 4. Analyze collected data, on a timely basis, to identify problem areas. Team Continuing 5. Write technical soil descriptions and collect pedon samples to support correlation activities within the Indiana Headwaters MLRA Project Office area.
