Summary

These data were released prior to the October 1, 2016 effective date for the USGS’s policy dictating the review, approval, and release of scientific data as referenced in USGS Survey Manual Chapter 502.8 Fundamental Science Practices: Review and Approval of Scientific Data for Release. This dataset was developed for use with the Tennessee STATSGO data base as an additional datafile. Each record in the datafile relates to a STATSGO MUID number which is assigned to a polygon(s) in the STATSGO geographic coverage. Four soil attributes were derived from the COMP and LAYER datafiles of STATSGO, all of which are represented as percentages of the particular map unit's area. By representing these properties as percentages, a four-color (CMYK) [...]

Purpose

Any application which can utilize the STATSGO data base can utilize this dataset. The main goal was to combine different elements of the STATSGO data base to create an easily representable version of certain soil characteristics to aid in the interpretation of soil contaminant transport.
