Newark sits in western Wayne County along the Erie Canal, inside the Finger Lakes drumlin field. Soils across the village and the Route 88 commercial corridor are dominated by Honeoye silt loam and Lima silt loam on the drumlin flanks, with Palmyra gravelly loam on the outwash benches near the canal and Canandaigua silty clay loam and Lyons silt loam in the low-lying wetland flats.
The Erie Canal and Ganargua Creek run side by side through town, and both define significant portions of the buildable land's drainage and permitting regime. Commercial site work in Newark regularly involves structural fill on the clay-loam flats, cobbly trenching on the drumlin flanks, and dewatering on canal-adjacent parcels. NYS Canal Corp review applies to any work within the canal prism. Stormwater design ties into the Ganargua Creek / Clyde River / Seneca River watershed. Shallow dolostone bedrock appears occasionally on the highest drumlin summits, but most commercial excavation stays well above rock across the village's buildable corridors.
