Soil Rating and Criteria for Large Animal Carcass Disposal

The National Soil Survey Center (NSSC) has developed and is testing a suite of Homeland Security soil survey interpretations. The suite includes soil interpretations for disposal of animal carcasses, disposal of rubble and debris, composting facilities, soil suitability for pit and trench liners, and soil suitability for composting media and cover. States are completing soil data population this year and the interpretations will be uploaded onto the Soil Data Mart by the end of 2006. These interpretations are important tools for pre- and post-event planning.

When updated the information can be found in Section II of the Field Office Technical Guide (EFOTG) and the rating can be downloaded from the Soil Data Mart: http://soildatamart.nrcs.usda.gov/
