Then there was excess soil from another remodel job and contractor was putting the soil into a dumpster to take to a landfill.

If there are major changes talk to a Civil Engineer in the area that works in Land Development for a second opinion.Cut and fill (soil) can change the surface runoff but usually does not have an effect on the water table or aquifer.

I'm a numbers person by trade so it tool awhile.Some factors to consider might be the location of the property relative to the other properties in the neighborhood, topography of the lot, does the ground perk, private water can be a serious draw back in many areas because it limits what you can do with a property and adds more liability.What is the soil like, zoning, neighbors, how close is it to other water sources, what kind of setbacks are required, is it connected to sewer or does it also have a septic system, what kind of septic system does it have, how close is the drainfield to any well water.

On August 12, 1999, we arrived back on U.S. soil having just completed the single largest adoption at one time in U.S.

Another big expense in the city is the need for all of the excavated soil to be taken to a dump and for new, clean fill to be used when back-filling the excavation.

Great locations and operations (think Quik Trip) are a goldmine, some more out-of-the way locations may be white elephants, possibly with soil contamination.
