It demands full consideration, not only as a guide in determining use but also as a measure of the kind and magnitude of problems that must be overcome for specific uses. The decisions on urban uses are not necessarily determined on the basis of suitability. The physical characteristics and qualities of the soil become paramount, and interpretations are more directly concerned with the limitations, restrictions, or hazards and suggests corrective practices needed to prevent serious mistakes."
