 soil
The unconsolidated material on the immediate surface of the earth that serves as a natural medium for the growth of land plants.
Soil is the naturally occurring, unconsolidated, mineral or organic material at the earth's surface that is capable of supporting plant growth.
Nonsoil also includes unconsolidated mineral or organic material thinner than 10 cm (4 inches) overlying bedrock; organic material thinner than 40 cm (16 inches) overlying a hydric layer; and soil covered by more than 60 cm (24 inches) of water in the driest part of the year.

Badlands develop on surfaces with little or no vegetative cover, overlying unconsolidated or poorly cemented materials (clays, silts, or in some cases sandstones) sometimes with soluble minerals such as gypsum or halite.
Unconsolidated material of mixed composition deposited at the base (bottom) of a glacier [ The term emphasizes only the relative position of deposition; e.g.
It may stand nearly vertical resulting from collapse as the base is undercut during excavation or by erosion, or it may be reduced by subsequent erosion to a more subdued angle by slope wash. Compare - cut, beveled cut, roadcut.

 HA 730-H Unconsolidated-deposit aquifers text
The unconsolidated deposits are mostly alluvial deposits, but in places, they consist of eolian, glacial, or volcanic deposits.
Permeability of the unconsolidated deposits is variable; sand and gravel commonly yield from 20 to 2,000 gallons per minute to wells.
Unconsolidated deposits in closed basins in southeastern Oregon are typically fine grained and yield from 1 to 200 gallons per minute.

LAWS of 1924, CHAPTER 574 (MCKINNEY'S UNCONSOLIDATED LAWS, §§1471-1493): A park district established pursuant to the provisions of chapter 574 of the Laws of 1924 is an administrative unit of the town rather than an independent corporate entity.
McKinney's Unconsolidated Laws of NY, §1475, relating to certain "procedure(s) specified in any district statute...."), the provisions of article 13 of the Town Law do not apply to the board of commissioners of a park district established pursuant to chapter 574.
Section 215(6) provides, in effect, that the town shall satisfy any judgment against the board of commissioners and the amount paid, or the amount of debt service on obligations issued by the town to finance the judgment, shall be a charge against the improvement district and levied against the taxable property therein.

 SFAS 94: did it produce its intended effect? (Statement of Financial Accounting Standards) (Accounting)
To determine the extent of divestment of unconsolidated subsidiaries, a search was conducted of various firms' 1985 fiscal year financial statements to identify those firms with unconsolidated finance, leasing, insurance, or real estate subsidiaries; 164 such firms were located.
Of the 157 firms examined (note that data for seven of the original 164 firms were unavailable), 30 (19.11%) of the firms divested unconsolidated subsidiaries by either selling them outright or reducing their ownership to 50% or less.
By divesting of their unconsolidated subsidiaries prior to the implementation of SFAS 94, the divesting firms were able to avoid significant and potentially damaging increases in their reported leverage.

The second most frequently occurring unconsolidated subsidiary was in the real estate area, which was identified in eight (16.7%) of the annual reports.

 Unconsolidated sand and gravel aquifers
Unconsolidated sand and gravel aquifers can be grouped into four categories: basin-fill aquifers, which also are called "valley-fill aquifers"; blanket sand and gravel aquifers; glacial-deposit aquifers; and stream-valley aquifers which are of generally small extent and not mapped.
The unconsolidated sand and gravel aquifers are susceptible to contamination because of their generally high hydraulic conductivity.
Unconsolidated sand and gravel aquifers at or near the land surface.

 2003 NYSlipOp 10051
For all of the foregoing reasons, we agree with the IAS court that the Commissioner's delegation of the prosecutorial function to the CCRB was a proper exercise of discretion in the management of the Police Department.
We also agree with the IAS court that Unconsolidated Laws § 891 requires that a police officer be removed from his or her position only after a hearing conducted by an individual actually employed by the Commissioner.
Unconsolidated Laws § 891 simply does not address by whom police disciplinary charges may be prosecuted, and therefore does not stand in the way of the Commissioner's delegation of that task to the CCRB.

 Ground water provinces: Minnesota DNR
Provinces 1 and 4 (metro and central, respectively) are characterized by buried sand aquifers and relatively extensive surficial sand plains as part of a thick layer of unconsolidated sediments deposited by glaciers overlying the bedrock.
The unconsolidated glacial sediments of Provinces 2 and 5 (south-central and western, respectively) are typically clayey and may contain limited extent surficial and buried sand aquifers.
The unconsolidated sediments in Provinces 3 (southeastern) and 6 (arrowhead) are thin or absent and, therefore, not used or relatively unimportant, except in major river valleys where sediment thickness is greater.

 Porosity-Velocity Distribution in Stratigraphic Sequences: The Marion-Yin Model, by Juan Florez and Gary Mavko, #40105 ...
According to the Marion-Yin model for dispersed mixtures (Marion, 1992), the porosity of unconsolidated clayey sand decreases in respect to that of clean sands, as clay replaces pore space.
We evaluate the applicability of this model to unconsolidated and consolidated fluvial facies sequences composed of one single fining upward-cycle (Figures 6 and 7).
In the unconsolidated sequence, the flat tail of low-velocity and high-porosity associated with pure clay is absent.

The small islands and the extremely intricate shape of the small, thin peninsula are characteristic of a rocky environment.
As the river flows, it erodes its shores and since the area is very flat and covered with unconsolidated surficial material, the erosion process is very rapid (well.
The proximity of the outcrops, the thin unconsolidated surficial sediments, and the narrow channel between the "almost island" and the peninsula provided the ideal conditions for the formation of a natural bridge by a combined action of the accumulation of sediments, wave action and appropriate channel width.

 Rockaway River Area Aquifer System ( Unconsolidated Quaternary )
The Unconsolidated Quaternary Aquifer is glacial in origin and is composed of unconsoli-dated sand and gravel deposits.
As a result of its highly permeable soil characteristics, the Unconsolidated Quaternary Aquifer is susceptible to contamination through its recharge zone from a number of sources, including, but not limited to, chemical spills, highway runoff, septic tanks, leaking storage tanks, and leaching from open dumps.
The Unconsolidated Quaternary Aquifer underlies thirteen municipalities in Morris County, in the Rockaway River Basin Area.

Despite the significance of the production from unconsolidated sands for the US, the design and placement of these completions in these sands is often sub-optimal due to lack of proper design tools.
The existing models for predicting fracturing in unconsolidated sands assume, to a lesser or greater extent, the theory of Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics for fracture propagation.
The primary objective of this proposal is to develop entirely new models for fracturing in unconsolidated sands through a better understanding of the mechanisms of fracturing in such sands.

Currently, unconsolidated material is eligible for the overburden exemption to reporting required under section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA) and section 6607 of the Pollution Prevention Act of 1990 (PPA).
By some it is used to designate material of any nature, consolidated or unconsolidated, that overlies a deposit of useful materials, ores, or coal, especially those deposits that are mined from the surface by open cuts.
The regulatory definition of overburden under EPCRA section 313 is the unconsolidated material that overlies a deposit of useful materials or ores.

 Digital data set describing ground-water regions with unconsolidated watercourses in the conterminous US

The polygons representing unconsolidated watercourses on this map have been used to supplment the information from Heath (1984, figure 12, p.17).
The map projection appeared to be Albers Conical Equal Area, so an Albers-projected data set of U.S. states was used to define registration points between a scanned image of the figure and the state boundary linework.
