TOP 657 - Aquents Aquents are altered or disturbed soil areas where the original soil material has been removed, repositioned or fill has been added. These areas are the result of human activities and are typically associated with urban development, earth removal and leveled areas adjacent to some cranberry bogs. Aquent soil areas have seasonal high water tables and are often sparsely vegetated. Aquent soil areas are quite variable in composition. Texture is usually dependant on the parent material and the type of fill material used if present.
