How are errors rectified?
Errors in the digital data are typically found during the quality control phase of the digital procedure. The more likely errors are ones we found in the published soil survey that we have to correct. This is done by trained USDA-NRCS soil scientist who research each error, make a decision, and document that decision based on their research and experience. Corrections to the uncertified data is relatively easy, the certified data require re-certification of the databases.
