They will also prepare the <br />section relating to the "physical, chemical, and mineralogical analysis of <br />selected soils" for the report manuscript. <br />- Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services through the <br />state soil and water office, provide state leaders ip for the acceleration of <br />the soil survey in the state. Working with the Florida Association of <br />Conservation Districts and other interested groups and agencies including the <br />Indian River Soil and Water Conservation District seek continued support and <br />funding from the state legislature to complete the survey in the state of <br />Florida. <br />- Indian River Soil and Water Conservation District will generate local <br />support and publicity for the survey and will take leadership in distribution <br />of soils information locally.

Financial arrangements for funding will be spelled out in a separate <br />agreement among the agencies. They will work with the county to identify <br />priority areas for mapping. <br />Indian River Board of County Commissioners will provide funds in <br />accordance witn a separate cooperative agreement among the agencies to do the <br />soil survey in Indian River County.

Mapping will be done by conventional field procedures. <br />The soils in each delineation will be identified by direct field examination. <br />Minimum size delineation of contrasting soils will be about three acres. <br />Systematic transect procedures will be used as necessary to supplement data on <br />composition of mapping units. Adequate descriptions and field notes will be <br />made during the course of the survey to substantiate the name of each .map unit <br />and to establish the range of characteristics of each of the named soil. <br />Mapping legend and descriptive legend will be developed as the survey progresses <br />and will be kept current at all times in accordance with state policies. <br />SEP 2 41980 <br />Boa 44 PAcE 593 <br />a <br />
