Evaluation of Areas for Off-Road Recreational Motorcycle Use. Volume II. Alternate Soil Suitability Determination Methods.

Abstract

Volume I of this report described how to evaluate the soil suitability of areas for off-road recreational motorcycle (trail bike) use on land under the jurisdiction of the Department of the Army. This soil evaluation method relied on the availability of a recent, detailed soil survey. Since such surveys are not always available, Volume II describes alternative methods for evaluating the suitability of soils for trail bike use. Volume II illustrates and describes seven alternative soil evaluation methods. Each method is defined as more or less useful in terms of its reliability and the ease of speed by which it results may be obtained. Included are descriptions of simple ways to conduct the field and laboratory soil analyses required when using alternative soil evaluation methods. (Author)
