Soil Evaluation - ANSWER ✓ means the systematic examination of soils in the
field and/or in laboratories, their description and classification, the mapping of
kinds of soils or miscellaneous areas showing the distribution of soils in relation to
the physical, cultural and special features of the earth's surface and the
interpretation of the soils and site characteristics for their suitability for subsurface
sewage disposal or to determine if the areas are eligible for percolation tests. The
mapping is either general, high intensity or extra-high intensity.
Soil Incorporation - ANSWER ✓ means the disking or plowing of the soil at a
domestic septage disposal site, within six (6) hours of land application of domestic
septage, so that no domestic septage is present on the surface of the soil.
Soil Injection - ANSWER ✓ means the injection of domestic septage below the
surface of the soil.
Soil Map - ANSWER ✓ means a map showing the size, shape and distribution of
the various kinds of soil in relation to other physical and cultural features on the
earth's surface. There are three (3) kinds of soil maps. They are general, high
intensity and extra-high intensity. They are defined as follows:
(a) General - A general soil map is a second order survey as defined in the "Soil
Survey Manual," United States Department of Agriculture, October 1993. These
surveys are made for intensive land use that requires detailed information. Map
units shall be named at a categorical level above the soil series. Miscellaneous land
types or interpretative groupings of soils such as those in which percolation tests
are allowed for subsurface sewage disposal site evaluation shall be delineated. Map
, scale shall be one (1) inch equals one hundred (100) feet. Minimum size map unit
delineations shall be twenty-five hundred (2500) square feet. The mapping legend
shall be provided by the Department.
(b) High Intensity - A first order survey as defined in the "Soil Survey Manual,"
United States Department of Agriculture, October 1993. These surveys are made
for very intensive land use that requires very detailed soils information that
requires very precise knowledge of soils and their variability such as individual
building sites. Field procedures require observation of soil boundaries throughout
their length. Map units are mostly soil series, phases of soil series with some
complexes and miscellaneous land areas. Some map units named at categorical
level above the series are allowed. Map scale shall be one (1) inch equals one
hundred (100) feet. Minimum size delineation shall be six hundred twenty-five
(625) square feet.
(c) Extra-High Intensity - A soil map that is the same as a high intensity soil map
except the scale may be one (1) inch eq
Soil Map Unit - ANSWER ✓ means an abstract model of a soil taxonomic unit or
miscellaneous land type that has a set of distinguishing soil characteristics that set
it apart from all other soil map units.
Soil Map Unit Delineation - ANSWER ✓ means an area on a soil map that
represents a kind of soil or miscellaneous land type that occupies an area on the
earth's surface. There may be several map unit delineations of one soil map unit.
Soil Series - ANSWER ✓ means a group of very similar soils that have one or
more soil characteristics that distinguishes that soil from all other soil series. As
used in these regulations, a soil series is one that has been recognized by the
Natural Resource Conservation Service in Tennessee.
Soil Variant - ANSWER ✓ means a soil that has one or more distinguishing soil
characteristics and soil properties that prevent that soil from being classified in any
soil series that has been recognized by the Natural Resource Conservation Service
in Tennessee. A soil variant requires use and management significantly different
from the soil from which the variant is named. Also, behavior different from the
soil series for which the variant is named can be expected.
