Laurens questions
How shallow is bedrock around Laurens?
NRCS maps bedrock as shallow as about 12 inches at one sampled point, where Wilkes soil sits over weathered bedrock. Other points show none reported, which is not proof that none exists. That is generalized survey data, and only a site evaluation speaks to a given lot.
Does Reedy Fork or the Little River matter for septic in Laurens?
Reedy Fork runs 0.3 mile from the town centre and the Little River 0.4 mile, and FEMA shows a mapped flood zone within about 0.3 mile. In general, homes in or near mapped zones can have high water tables. Whether that applies to a lot is a site question.
