Land development planning
without a soil inventory is a wasted effort! One
cannot wish for appropriate soils to appear because
a lot has been drawn on a plan. The soils have
been part of the landscape for thousands of years.
Regulated wetlands and waters are realities that
will not go away. Preliminary soil
investigations and mapping of soil and site
characteristics enable optimization in land use and
informed decision-making.
