These subtypes should be described in the terrain legend. See Table 2-30.	1	n-x-r	Geop_St3
86	3rd Process Subclass	1-3 standard lower case letters attached to the third geomorphological process within the current terrain polygon. Subclass modifiers are used to further describe the process. They are usually mapped at a more detailed level. New subclass modifiers have been added to the Terrain Classification Manual, Howes and Kenk, Version 2.0. See Tables 2-10 - 2-13.	3	c-x-l-l	Geop_ Scm3
87	1st Soil Drainage Class of Polygon	A lowercase letter that represents the soil drainage class for all or most of the current terrain polygon. Soil drainage refers to the rapidity and extent of water removal from the soil in relation to additions; this refers to the annual moisture status of the soil, not just the permeability. Codes include r, w, m, i, p, v. (see Luttmerding et al., 1990, p.43). See Table 2-15.	1	c-x-l-l	Drain_1
88	Soil Drainage Separator of Polygon	Symbols used where a terrain polygon includes two areas of relatively uniform drainage, indicating the proportion of the polygon occupied by each class. The codes include a comma `,' ; a dash, `-'; (single slash `/'; double slash `//' :These are not commonly used) . See Table 2-16.	2	c-x-l	Drain_Sep
89	2nd Soil Drainage Class of Polygon	A lowercase letter that represents the drainage class for less than half of the current terrain polygon. Soil drainage refers to the rapidity and extent of water removal from the soil in relation to additions (see Luttmerding et al., 1990, p.43). See Table 2-15.	1	c-x-l-l	Drain_2
90	Slope: Lower Limit of Dominant Slope Range	The lower limit of the range of slopes within a terrain polygon, or, where a polygon includes distinctly gentler and steeper slopes (e.g., stepped topography), the lower limit of the slope range associated with most of the polygon. The lower limit could be 12%; data must be entered either in degrees or as a percentage, not both. See Table 2-17.	3	n-x-r	Slpll_1
91	Slope: Upper Limit of Dominant Slope Range	The upper limit of the range of slopes within a terrain polygon, or where a polygon includes distinctly gentler and steeper slopes (i.e. stepped topography), the upper limit of the slope range associated with most of the polygon. The upper limit could be 27%; data must be entered either in degrees or as a percentage, not both. See Table 2-17.	3	n-x-r	Slpul_1
92	Slope Relation	The relative proportion of the two terrain slopes which make up the terrain polygon. The codes are comma `,' indicating two distinct slope portions, and a dash `-' indicating one sloped portion grading to another.	1	c-x-l	Slp_Rel
93	Slope: Lower Limit of Subdominant Slope Range	The lower limit of the range of slopes within a terrain polygon, or, where a polygon includes distinctly gentler and steeper slopes (e.g., stepped topography), the lower limit of the subdominant slope range associated with the polygon. The lower limit could be 2%; data must be entered either in degrees or as a percentage, not both. See Table 2-17.	3	n-x-r	Slpll_2
94	Slope: Upper Limit of Subdominant Slope Range	The upper limit of the range of slopes within a terrain polygon, or where a polygon includes distinctly gentler and steeper slopes (i.e. stepped topography), the upper limit of the subdominant slope range associated with the polygon. The upper limit could be 10%; data must be entered either in degrees or as a percentage, both. See Table 2-17.	3	n-x-r	Slpul_2
95	Slope Stability Class	A code representing a class of slope stability. The code must be only one of the standard codes defined, either E1or E2, Recon, or Detailed slope stability classification systems. All polygons mapped within a project must be consistently classified using the same slope stability classification system. See Tables 2-18 - 2-20.	2	an-x-l-u	Slpstb_Cls
96	Slope Stability Qualifier For Roads	A flag indicating class IV terrain where road construction is likely to cause landslides, but harvesting (without roads) is not likely to cause landslides (see Forest Practices Code, 1995, p.9). See Table 2-21.	1	a-x-l-u	Rdstb_Flg
97	Surface Erosion Potential Class	A class which indicates the likelihood of soil erosion on bare or disturbed soil after logging or road construction (e.g. from ditches or cutbanks). Surface erosion refers to the removal of soil, particle by particle, by surface runoff. It results in sheet erosion and the development of rills and gullies. See Table 2-22.	2	a-x-l-u	Sfcero_Pot
98	Landslide Induced Stream Sedimentation Class	A rating class indicating the likelihood of landslide-induced stream sedimentation. See Table 2-23.	1	n-x-r	Lssed_Cls
99	Surface Erosion Sedimentation Class	A rating class indicating the likelihood of stream sedimentation due to surface erosion. This rating is assigned by the terrain mapper on the basis of air photo interpretation with occasional field confirmation. See Table 2-24.	2	a-x-l-l	Sesed_Cls
100	Bouldery or Blocky Substrate of Polygon	A flag `b' indicating that the ground within the current polygon is covered by sufficiently large clasts to adversely affect soil development and forest growth. This area will present severe problems for restocking after logging due to absence of topsoil. This flag was the result of discussion with forest companies. (1995, with J.M. Ryder and Geologists). See Table 2-25.	1	a-x-l-l	Bbsub_Flg
101	Mean Aspect of Polygon	The general direction in which the current polygon is facing, measured to the nearest degree of azimuth. See Table 2-25.	3	n-x-r	Mean_Asp
102	Ea Avalanche Hazard Flag	A flag indicating that timber removal from the current polygon may result in increased avalanche hazard to sites downslope. This designation is from the BC Forest Service Environmentally Sensitive Mapping Codes in the Historical Forest Cover Mapping System. See Table 2-26.	1	a-x-l-l	Avlhaz_ Flg
103	Polygons of Relatively Low Reliability	A flag indicating that for reasons such as cloud cover on an air photo the current polygon has been mapped with significantly less reliability than adjacent polygons. See Table 2-27.	1	a-x-l-u	Lowrel_ Flg
104	Field Check of Polygon	A class which describes the level of field checking done on the current polygon (detailed/reconn/visual). See Table 2-28.	1	a-x-l-l	Fldchktp
105	Comments	This field may be used to record any pertinent information regarding the polygon. At all times attempt to use referenced classifications which are well defined and understood in the science, or provide thorough definitions for the user. This project specific data will be stored in flat file format, unless keyword or standard designations are required, then contact the data custodian. The data custodian will keep records of new or additional classifications, which are commonly used for project specific applications.	300	c-e-l	Comments
