Acid sulfate soils planning guidelines

3. acid sulfate soil characteristics of the coorongand lower lakes 4. acid sulfate soil management planning Cd, Cr Co, Cu, Mn, Ni and Zn exceeded the Australian water quality guidelines (WQGs) The presence of acid sulfate soils can be a significant constraint on planning at regional and local levels, introducing restrictions on land use and development options. Within areas of (suspected) acid sulfate soils, many construction or engineering activities warrant an assessment of the risk exposing Acid sulfate soil scald Acid sulfate soils are formed when sulphide-bearing minerals come in contact with air and oxidise. In the Mekong delta, concentrations of arsenic and manganese were found to exceed World Health Organisation guidelines in drinking water wells as a result of acidification. Acid sulfate soils are derived from sediments containing iron sulfides, commonly in tidal margins along seacoasts. If exposed to air, sulfides oxidize Onsite evaluation is needed to determine the presence of expansive water-soluble salts if structures are planned on the flood plain of the Las Vegas Wash or The Tasmanian Acid Sulfate Soil Management Guidelines (PDF) are designed to provide technical and The guidelines have also been designed to assist decision making and provide greater certainty to the Other Acid Sulfate Soil Information. Information pamphlets for field operators, planners and Acid sulfate soils are soils with a pH below 4 that is directly or indirectly caused by sulfuric acid formed by oxidation of pyrite. Acid sulfate soils can be found ill all continents except Australia. West Africa, South and Southeast Asia, and the north-east of South America have the largest extents. Acid sulfate soils (ASS) are soils and other soft sediments that contain iron sulfides (mostly pyrite (FeS2; photo 1) with typically smaller quantities of iron monosulfides (FeS)).
