The Final Soil Report is not a separate application; rather, it is a submission requirement for Construction Plans.  The Final Soil Report is a refinement of a Type 1 Soil Report or Preliminary Soil Report. It is prepared by a private Professional Soil Scientist. The Professional Soil Scientist adjusts the soil map to match the subdivision plan base map and adds any additional detail that can be shown based on the larger scale of the subdivision plan.  It is required for Subdivision Construction Plans. It can be used as the soil information for any other submission since it provides the best available soil information.
