Chittenango occupies the break between the Madison County uplands and the Oneida Lake lowland, where Chittenango Creek tumbles off the escarpment at Chittenango Falls and crosses a broad alluvial corridor. Upland soils are Honeoye and Lima silt loams over limestone till; the flats below the escarpment are dominated by Palmyra gravelly loam on outwash, Wayland silt loam in the floodplain, and Lakemont silty clay loam in the relict lake flats toward Bridgeport.
Chittenango Creek controls much of the buildable land's drainage regime, and the Erie Canal corridor crosses the north end of the village with its own grading and permitting implications. Commercial site work in Chittenango ranges from rock excavation and steep-cut stabilization on parcels near Route 5 and the escarpment, to dewatering and imported fill on the lake-plain soils closer to Oneida Lake. Stormwater permitting ties into the Oneida Lake watershed, which imposes stricter phosphorus and sediment controls than most inland tributaries. Shallow Onondaga limestone outcrops on the escarpment face can slow trenching on south-of-village parcels.
