Acid sulfate soil risk maps
Areas that contain acid sulfate soils have been mapped for the entire NSW coastline at a scale of 1:25 000. The maps show:
- probability of occurrence of acid sulfate soil
- depth to acid sulfate soil
- environmental risk associated with disturbing the soil
- the landform element on which the soil occurs
Acid sulfate soil planning maps
Maps customised for many specific purposes can be derived from the data recorded for acid sulfate soil risk mapping. For example, acid sulfate soil planning maps have been derived from the risk maps and are used to assist planning by most coastal councils.
