LIMITATIONS: ** WARNING - THIS IS A NON-STANDARD DATASET **

             The attribute files included in this distribution are missing 
             some data.  The attribute files that were originally prepared 
             for this product were compiled according to guidelines and 
             standards which have since changed.  The user is forewarned 
             that inconsistencies in the data, within and/or between map 
             products are present.  

             Where entire tables are missing, or individual fields are blank, 
             the original attribute files did not contain this data.  Where 
             records in the accompanying attribute tables are missing, soil 
             survey data was not available for those mapunits.  

             This dataset indicates the representative soils that occur
             within a soil polygon.  Although physical and chemical data is
             provided about each of these identified soil types, this data
             should not be assumed to be site specific.

             This dataset may contain errors and omissions that may have been
             corrected in subsequent releases.
