Default Dealing with dirt

Spread it out and rake it into the rest of the soil or pick a spot and start
building a flower bed with the extra.

There are those who believe that life here, began out there, far across the
universe, with tribes of humans, who may have been the forefathers of the
Egyptians, or the Toltecs, or the Mayans. Some believe that they may yet be
brothers of man, who even now fight to survive, somewhere beyond the
heavens.

Hello,
This may sound nuts, but I have a problem with excess dirt.
.
I am going to put soakaway drains in my yard to handle some poor drainage
conditions. I have a generally flat yard. The lot is about 3/4 acres.
It's a typical builders lot with about 4 inches of loam over sandy, clay,
rocky hardpan soil. Basically, its crap. I am going to be digging out a
couple of long trenches 2' wide x 2' deep, filling it with stone, etc
.
The problem...what do I do with all the lousy soil that gets dug out?
Sounds like a crazy question, but I have no place to put it. I guess i
need some ideas on what can be done.
.
Thank you for your time.
