Custom Soil Resource Report <br /> feet of suitable material and a high content of stones or boulders, organic matter, or <br /> salts or sodium. A high water table affects the amount of usable material. It also <br /> affects trafficability. <br /> Aquifer-fed excavated ponds are pits or dugouts that extend to a ground-water <br /> aquifer or to a depth below a permanent water table. Excluded are ponds that are <br /> fed only by surface runoff and embankment ponds that impound water 3 feet or <br /> more above the original surface. Excavated ponds are affected by depth to a <br /> permanent water table, Ksat of the aquifer, and quality of the water as inferred from <br /> the salinity of the soil. Depth to bedrock and the content of large stones affect the <br /> ease of excavation. <br /> Information in this table is intended for land use planning, for evaluating land use <br /> alternatives, and for planning site investigations prior to design and construction. <br /> The information, however, has limitations. For example, estimates and other data <br /> generally apply only to that part of the soil between the surface and a depth of 5 to 7 <br /> feet. Because of the map scale, small areas of different soils may be included within <br /> the mapped areas of a specific soil. <br /> The information is not site specific and does not eliminate the need for onsite <br /> investigation of the soils or for testing and analysis by personnel experienced in the <br /> design and construction of engineering works. <br /> Government ordinances and regulations that restrict certain land uses or impose <br /> specific design criteria were not considered in preparing the information in this table. <br /> Local ordinances and regulations should be considered in planning, in site <br /> selection, and in design. <br /> Report—Ponds and Embankments (TZA - Pond) <br /> [Onsite investigation may be needed to validate the interpretations in this table and <br /> to confirm the identity of the soil on a given site. The numbers in the value columns <br /> range from 0.01 to 1.00. The larger the value, the greater the potential limitation. <br /> The table shows only the top five limitations for any given soil.
