1 United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service Soils Report Contact your local District Conservationist for site specific assistance Shallow Excavations - Dominant Condition Shallow excavations are trenches or holes dug to a maximum depth of 5 or 6 feet for basements, graves, utility lines, open ditches, and other purposes. The ratings are based on soil properties, site features, and observed performance of the soils. The ease of digging, filling, and compacting is affected by the depth to bedrock, a cemented pan, or a very firm dense layer; stone content; soil texture; and slope. The depth to a seasonal high water table and the susceptibility of the soil to flooding affects the time of the year that excavations can be made. Soil texture and depth to the water table affect the resistance of the excavation walls or banks to sloughing or caving. The limitations are considered not limiting if soil properties and site features are generally favorable for the indicated use and limitations are minor and easily overcome. A somewhat limiting limitation indicates soil properties or site features are not favorable for the indicated use and special planning, design, or maintenance is needed to overcome or minimize the limitations. A very limiting limitation indicates soil properties or site features are so unfavorable or so difficult to overcome that special design, significant increases in construction costs, and possibly increased maintenance are required. Special feasibility studies may be required where the soil limitations are very limiting.
