Hastings sits at the north end of Oneida Lake in south-central Oswego County, on the sandy lake plain left by Glacial Lake Iroquois. Soils across the town's commercial corridors and the I-81 interchange at Central Square are dominated by Colonie loamy sand, Elnora loamy fine sand, and Scriba fine sandy loam, with Sun and Stockholm loamy fine sands in the low ground and organic muck in the relict swamp pockets south toward the Oneida Lake shoreline.
Hydrology is defined by Oneida Lake to the south, the Oneida River outlet to the west, and dozens of small tributaries crossing the flat lake plain. Commercial excavation in Hastings consistently involves shallow water tables on the lower parcels, non-cohesive sandy cuts that require shoring, and stormwater infiltration design that has to meet Oneida Lake watershed phosphorus and sediment standards. Bedrock is rarely a design factor, but frost depth in the sandy soils and seasonal saturation in the low ground push pavement and utility details.
