Data used for this soil layer was downloaded from http://www.pasda.psu.edu. Initial creator of the data is the USDA, Natural Resources Conservation Service and their use constraints are as follows:
This data set is not designed for use as a primary regulatory tool
in permitting or citing decisions, but may be used as a reference
source. This is public information and may be interpreted by
organizations, agencies, units of government, or others based on
needs; however, they are responsible for the appropriate
application. Federal, State, or local regulatory bodies are not to
reassign to the Natural Resources Conservation Service any
authority for the decisions that they make. The Natural Resources
Conservation Service will not perform any evaluations of these maps
for purposes related solely to State or local regulatory programs.
Photographic or digital enlargement of these maps to scales greater
than at which they were originally mapped can cause misinterpretation
of the data. If enlarged, maps do not show the small areas of
contrasting soils that could have been shown at a larger scale. The
depicted soil boundaries, interpretations, and analysis derived from
them do not eliminate the need for onsite sampling, testing, and
detailed study of specific sites for intensive uses. Thus, these data
and their interpretations are intended for planning purposes only.
Digital data files are periodically updated. Files are dated, and
users are responsible for obtaining the latest version of the data.

Certain node/geometry and topology GT- polygon/chain relationships
are collected or generated to satisfy topological requirements
(the GT-polygon corresponds to the soil delineation). Some of these
requirements include: chains must begin and end at nodes, chains
must connect to each other at nodes, chains do not extend through
nodes, left and right GT-polygons are defined for each chain
element and are consistent throughout, and the chains representing
the limits of the file are free of gaps. The tests of logical
consistency are performed using vendor software. All internal
polygons are tested for closure with vendor software and are checked
on hard copy plots. All data are checked for common soil lines (i.e.,
adjacent polygons with the same label). Edge locations generally do
not deviate from centerline to centerline by more than 0.01 inch.
The soil survey of Lehigh County, Pennsylvania is edgematched to
the adjacent Pennsylvania Soil Survey Geographic (SSURGO) databases
of Berks County, Schuylkill County, Carbon County and Bucks County.
Feature edges (polygon and line segments) for this survey match
adjacent ones in the edgematched Pennsylvania soil surveys of Berks
County, Schuylkill County, Carbon County and Bucks County. The feature
labels and descriptive attributes (tabular information about the polygon
and line segments) for Berks County match exactly to adjacent ones in
Lehigh County. Most feature labels and descriptive attributes for Bucks
County match adjacent ones in Lehigh County. The feature labels for
Carbon County and Schuylkill County do not match adjacent ones in Lehigh
County, although the descriptive attributes are similar. The soil survey
area boundaries match.
