	OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
		Soil and Water Conservation Districts are formed by resolution of a county, which declares the county to be a district.
		Thus, it is apparent that a Soil and Water Conservation District is a political subdivision, legally independent of the county and the State.
		At the time of our 1980 opinion, State officers and employees received defense and indemnification for actions in the course of their employment through the provisions of section 17 of the Public Officers Law and municipalities were authorized by local law to establish these benefits.

	SOUTH DAKOTA STATE SOIL -
		The Chinese ring-necked pheasant is the state bird, the Black Hills spruce is the state tree, the pasque is the state flower, rose quartz is the state mineral, triceratops is the state fossil, and Houdek loam is the state soil.
		Soils may be thick to thin, stony to not stony; saline to not saline; sandy, silty, loamy, or clayey; sloping, flat, or in depressions; and may occur where climates are moist to dry and warm to cool.
		The kind of soil that develops in any area is the result of the interaction of the five soil forming factors; climate, biota (vegetation and soil organisms), parent material, topography, and time or the age of the soil.

	Soil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Soil formation, or pedogenesis, is the combined effect of physical, chemical, biological, and anthropogenic processes on soil parent material resulting in the formation of soil horizons.
		Soil acidification is accelerated by the use of acid-forming nitrogenous fertilizers and by the effects of acid precipitation.
		Soil salination is the accumulation of free salts to such an extent that it leads to degradation of soils and vegetation.

	State Soils \| NRCS Soils
		A state soil is represented by a soil series that has special significance to a particular state.
		Areas with similar soils are grouped and labeled as soil series because their similar origins, chemical, and physical properties cause the soils to "behave" similarly for land use purposes.
		A soil series name generally is derived from a town or landmark in or near the area where the soil series was first recognized.

	State Soil (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Soils in the Holdrege series are recognized by features of their "profile" (created by horizontal layers) that are the result of the prairie environment.
		They are suggestive of soils formed under mixed grasses, in a climate where moisture stress is common, but where enough movement of water through the profile has resulted in downward movement of clays and lime.
		The lack of acidity in the soil accompanied by a limey subsoil and a relatively high amount of organic matter (around 3 percent under native grass) in the top soil attest to a low amount of leaching, to a recycling of basic elements by grass roots, and to a high level of native fertility.

	Paxton Soil Information Sheet
		Paxton soil series was established in Worcester County Massachusetts in 1922, and is named for the town of Paxton where it was first described and mapped.
		The term "mesic" indicates the soil developed in a temperature between 8 and 15 degrees C. The "Typic Dystrudepts" are typical profiles [typic] with low pH [dystr] with a udic soil moisture regime and are within the Inceptisol order [epts].
