Abstract:
The siteclass data layer was created for use in implementing new Forest
Practices' Riparian Management Rules. (See WAC 222-30-021 and 222-30-022.) The siteclass information was derived from the DNR soils data layer's site index
codes and major tree species codes for western and eastern Washington soils
contained in the layer's Soils-Main table and Soils-Pflg (private forest land
grade) table. Site index ranges in the Soils_PFLG took precedence over site
index ranges in the Soils-Main table where data existed.
Siteclass codes as derived from the soil survey:
For Western Washington, the 50 year site index is used
SITECLASS SITE INDEX RANGE
I 137+
II 119-136
III 97-118
IV 76-96
V 1-75
For Eastern Washington, the 100 year site index is used
SITECLASS SITE INDEX RANGE
I 120+
II 101-120
III 81-100
IV 61-80
V 1-60
In addition to the coding scheme above, the following codes were added for
rule compliance:
SITECLASS DESCRIPTION
6 (Red Alder) The soils major species code indicated Red Alder
7 (ND/GP) No data), NA, or gravel pit
8 (NC/MFP) Non-commercial or marginal commercial forest land
9 (WAT) Water body
(Rule note: If the site index does not exist or indicates red alder,
noncommercial, or marginally commercial species, the following apply:
If the whole RMZ width is within those categories, use site class V.
If those categories occupy only a portion of the RMZ width, then use the
site index for conifer in the adjacent soil polygon.)
WADNR SOILS LAYER INFORMATION
LAYER: SOILS
GEN.SOURCE: State soils mapping program
CODE DOCUMENT: State soil surveys
CONTACT: NA
COVER TYPE: Spatial polygon coverage
DATA TYPE: Primary data
Information for the SOILS data layer was derived from the
Private Forest Land Grading system (PFLG) and subsequent
soil surveys. PFLG was a five year mapping program
completed in 1980 for the purpose of forest land taxation.
It was funded by the Washington State Department of Revenue
in cooperation with the Department of Natural Resources,
Soil Conservation Service (SCS), USDA Forest Service and
Washington State University.
State and private lands which had the potential of
supporting commercial forest stands were surveyed. Some
Indian tribal and federal lands were surveyed. Because this
was a cooperative soil survey project, agricultural and non-
commercial forest lands were also included within some
survey areas.
After the Department of Natural Resources originally
developed its geographic information system, digitized
soils delineations and a few soil attributes were
transferred to the system. Remaining PFLG soil attributes
were added at a later time and are now available through
associated lookup tables. SCS soils data on agricultural
lands also have subsequently been added to this data layer.
Approximately 1100 townships wholly or partially contain
digitized soils data (2101 townships would provide complete
coverage of the state of Washington).
SOILS data are currently stored in the Polygon Attribute
Table (.PAT) and INFO expansion files.

CODE TABLE OR VALUE RANGE: 0-200
DESCRIPTION:
Site index data collected for the Private Forest Land
Grading soils program (PFLG). It is a designation
of the quality of a forest site based on the height of
of the tallest trees (dominant and co-dominant trees)
in a stand at an arbitrarily chosen age. Usually the
age chosen is 50 or 100 years.
For example, if the average height attained by the
tallest trees in a fully stocked stand at the age of 50
years is 75 feet, the site index is 75 feet. Westside
site conditions are estimated by using an index age of
50 years, while eastside site conditions are estimated
by using an index age of 100 years.

Coverage derived from the WADNR SOILS layer, for use in implementing the new (Forest & Fish) legislation. *See siteindex.aml and siteidxpatch.aml for the programs to derive this data from the SOILS layer. The generic version of how it was done can be found at the bottom of this file. Original data in WA State Plane, South Zone projection, NAD 1927. All statements on accuracy and resolution of the data can be found in the SOILS metadata, as can the item definitions of the data originally from the soils layer. *Contact Laura Vaugeois about these programs.
