			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation          Service has a nice website where you can obtain information about the          soil under and around your home, throughout the town, city, county or          state where you live.</p>
<p>It is called Web Soil Survey and is located at: <a href="http://websoilsurvey.nrcs.usda.gov/app/HomePage.htm">http://websoilsurvey.nrcs.usda.gov/app/HomePage.htm</a> (or simply click the address as it has the link built into it.</p>
<p>It does take a few minutes to learn how to use it and waiting for the          maps to populate gives just about enough time to fill up the coffee cup.</p>
<p>Here are some samples I did in about an hour. They are focused on the          Cambria area but can be replicated with any neighborhood in town. I found          it easiest to set the AOI (Area of Interest by Using a street address          then zooming either in or out until I defined the area I wanted. Note          that definitions and data are also in the packages. The colors red, yellow          and green are used to identify how suitable certain land is for certain          uses. The definitions of these are available on the written reports, but          in general Red means you should not do it there without making some big          changes from standard practices, Yellow means you may need to add a few          things to make it workable, Green means that standard practices are generally          adequate.</p>
