Soil and ground
Mapped soils in the area are Cecil at all 5 sampled points, rated somewhat limited for septic absorption fields by NRCS because of slow water movement. Sandy loam sits over clay, well drained. Elevation is about 794 feet with 93 feet of relief in a mile, gently rolling. Whitner Creek runs about 0.4 mile from the town centre. This is generalized soil survey data, not a property evaluation; individual lots differ and each needs a site evaluation.

Anderson questions
Does Whitner Creek matter for a septic job in Anderson?
Whitner Creek and Depot Creek are the two nearest named streams on the map, about 0.4 and 0.6 mile from the centre. A nearby creek is not a verdict on any lot. If you see soggy ground over the drain field after rain, call us and we will look at it.
Why is slow water movement the soil limit NRCS names in Anderson?
NRCS lists slow water movement for the Cecil soils mapped here, a sandy loam surface sitting on clay. Water moves down through clay slowly, so a drain field needs enough room and a proper design. What your own lot allows comes out of a site evaluation.
