Dan,

I just called - the soils map people referred me to http://websoilsurvey.nrcs.usda.gov/app/WebSoilSurvey.aspx

I spoke to Jason Saunders. He said the above has 2009 or 2010 aerial photography. He said the USGS quarter quad shows images from about 2001, so he recommended just the online stuff.

Their number in the DeKalb County NRCS office is 816.449.2118.

Let me know what we still need.

I looked at the soils: here is the result: the border is our 30 acres:

I understand you have a need for some discussion around the following:

  • Small scale methane
  • Single family and community sized constructed wetlands for domestic waste treatment and disposal
  • Aquaculture/aquaponics
  • water filtration and purification
  • Small (1 acre) cattle and pasture development
  • Land drainage and soil regeneration

Please bring along your USGS quarter quad from the local NRCS office. You can also get the soils map of the place there too. I have Kuchler and Bailey resources for potential natural vegetation for that location. We'll look at your bio-region as well.
