Background information about the site can also be obtained from soil surveys and water well records. The map shows the location of a Soil Pit dug near the spill site in the Buffalo River valley. The side walls of the pit can be used to evaluate soil properties. Soils near the spill site are very sandy. They are derived from the sediments deposited by the river over time. Because of their sandy composition they are also very permeable.
