Soil deposition adversely affects properties related to plant growth or intended land use. Deposition does not alter the plant-soil relationship, damage property, cause physical damage to vegetation, or limit the intended land use. Deposition on roads, in culverts or at other locations causing unsafe conditions, flooding, or loss of access. Deposition does not create a safety hazard. Subsurface water accumulates in the soil profile restricting the desired land use.
Subsurface water is reduced to a level that no longer restricts the desired land use.
Water accumulates on the land surface and restricts the desired land use. Ponding and excess surface runoff is reduced to a level that does not adversely affect the desired land use. Subsurface water flows onto the surface and restricts the desired land use. Seeps do not cause accumulation of surface waters in volumes that restrict the desired land use. Management decisions provide optimum use of natural or applied moisture for the intended land use.
