Soil Survey information helps:
Homeowners – can determine the type of soil and land usage found on their existing site or a prospective new site. This allows them to make good building decisions and provides information for growing trees and plants.
Developers – can determine whether or not the soil in a proposed development area is adaptable for their intended use.
Community planners – use soil surveys to help them understand Urban soils that are found in watersheds that provide drinking water, food, waste utilization, and natural resources to communities. Understanding Urban soils helps cities with park areas, recreation areas, community gardens, green belts, lawns, septic absorption fields, sediment basins and other uses.
Farmers – can use soil information to identify important farmlands, estimate potential crop production and take early precautions against erodable land areas.
Ranchers – can better manage pasture land and rangeland for better forage production.
Teachers and educators – provides yet another educational resource for them to draw upon. With more pertinent soil information educators can better teach about the conservation of our natural resources.
Engineers – use soil surveys to determine the suitability and limitations of soils for pipelines, buildings, landfills/lagoons, recreation areas and many other uses.
Realtors – can use soil information to determine soil related hazards or limitations that affect home sites. Potential problems and dangers can be identified before a new home owner closes the deal. Also useful for land evaluations and appraisal processes.
Foresters – can use soil surveys to look at the soil properties they are most concerned with such as; slope, wetness, the amount of rock fragments/gravels in the soil and at what depth, if at all, root restricting layers occur. The more information forest managers have about their soils, the better they will be able to plan and manage their forests for the greatest economical and environmental benefit.
Others – use soil information to help solve environmental problems such as blowing dust, soil erosion by water and wind, site evaluation and remediation and maintaining/improving water quality.
