This soil is in the Luvisolic Order. Luvisols generally have light-coloured A and B horizons, with an important textural contrast between the two. Clays have eluviated from the A horizon(s) down into the B (illuvial) horizons due to lessivage, or the physical transfer of clays down the profile from vertical water movement. The diagnostic horizon of this soil is a Bt horizon (illuvial, enriched in silicate clay). This site has glacio-lacustrine parent material. The soil at this site falls into the Gleyed Gray Luvisol Subgroup. There are well-developed Ae and Bt horizons with a thin (< 5 cm) mineral-organic surface horizon (Ah). It is further classified into the Pineview Soil Association. These soil textures range from silty clay loam to clay.
