About Supan

Deep, well drained soils formed in alluvium derived from basic volcanic rocks, principally andesite. Profile features a moderate argillic horizon. Found on remnant terraces and fans at 500–2,500 ft elevation on slopes of 2 to 30 percent.

K-factor values are sourced from the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) SSURGO database.
