Soil and ground
Mapped soils in the area are Cecil at 4 of 5 sampled points, with Pacolet at one. NRCS rates 4 somewhat limited and 1 very limited for septic absorption fields, mainly for slow water movement and slope, with a water table mapped at 33 inches at one point. Elevation changes about 117 feet within a mile. That is generalized soil survey data, not a property evaluation; individual lots differ and each needs its own site evaluation.
