ss. The climate is humid temperate. Mean annual temperature ranges from 10 to 14 degrees C and precipitation ranges from 1020 to 1140 millimeters. Frost free season is 130 to 150 days. GEOGRAPHICALLY ASSOCIATED SOILS: Holyoke and Haledon are the most extensive associated soils and are developed from similar materials. Holyoke soils are shallow to basalt bedrock and usually are on higher and steeper positions in the landscape. Haledon soils have low chroma depletions in the top 10 inches of the argillic horizon and are in lower positions in the landscape, in drainageways, or at the base of steeper slopes. Other associated soils are Riverhead and Dunellen which formed in stratified, water sorted material. DRAINAGE AND SATURATED HYDRAULIC CONDUCTIVITY: Moderately well and well drained. Runoff is slow to rapid. Saturated hydraulic conductivity is moderately low to high in the mineral soil above the fragipan, low or very low in the fragipan, and low to high below the fragipan. There is a perched water table at a depth of 46 to 91 centimeters from November to May of most years. USE AND VEGETATION: Most Boonton soils are in areas that have become highly urbanized. Undeveloped sites are wooded or idle fields. Wooded areas have oaks, red maple, white ash, hickory, gray birch, and dogwood trees. DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: Till uplands in Northeastern New Jersey and southeastern New York. MLRA 144A and 149B. The series is of moderate extent (62,000 acres). MLRA SOIL SURVEY REGIONAL OFFICE (MO) RESPONSIBLE: Amherst, Massachusetts SERIES ESTABLISHED: Morris County, New Jersey 1971. REMARKS: A\fisols classification is inferred from decreasing acidity and the high proportion of ultra basic grains and fragments in the lower part of the solum and C horizon. CE activity class is inferred from similar soils. Geographic coordinates were determined from the narrative description for the type location.
