2. View Soil ID Tile
3. See issue

Additional context

Full email from george:

Noted that the ecological site information was different than I expected for this site. Also, the LCC is missing the subclass. I was expecting the ecological site R084CY198TX, Sandy Loam 37-43 PZ. The map unit has one component, Rader. Rader component is listed as 100% of the map unit. The new version lists the Top Soil Matches as 100% for Rader. If I select 'View Location on Soil Web', Soil Web lists the ecological site as Sandy Loam for this location. The legacy LandPKS version identifies the ecological site as Sandy Loam. However, the new version is listing the ecological site as R084CY168TX, Claypan 37-43 PZ. Is there a background algorithm that determines the ecological site?

But we are grabbing the wrong ecological site:
