Creating a Site Map

• Premise identification, including street address, acreage
• Soil types (sand, silt, clay, etc), soil drainage, class, depth to water.
• Water wells (active and old)
• Tile drainage – Where are your detailed tile maps located?
• Surface water, aquifers, flood plains
• Natural area (frequent wildlife)
• Roads (winter maintenance?)
• Property lines
• Nearest neighbours and types of operations (ie. hogs or other livestock, etc.)
• Distances to nearest neighbours, if known

This information is important when making plans for composting or burial of large volumes of deadstock.
