    Compacted and uncompacted soil |

  From J.H.: I am negotiating with a company to sell them land that they would use for excavating soil to be used in construction.  I would like to value the land based on the volume of soil they are likely to remove.  I have seen several answers, giving the calculation based on 43,650 sq. ft./acre x number of acres x number of feet in depth, divided by 27 to convert the number to cu. yds.  However, that is the number when compacted.  They pay $.50/yd. of soil removed, but that yd. is not compacted.  How do you calculate the number of yds. of uncompacted soil in 1 acre of land?
