What the ground in Van Buren is like

The USDA soil survey rates mapped ground in Van Buren for septic drain-field suitability across roughly 15 square miles. About 89% of the rated ground is classed "Very limited", the survey records severe restrictions for a conventional drain field across most of that ground.

In Van Buren, the leading limit is slow water movement: effluent does not drain through the soil fast enough, so a conventional field can back up or pond when the ground cannot keep pace. The survey flags that limit on about 87% of the rated ground here.

The limiting features the survey records most often here:

• Slow water movement87.2%
• Depth to saturated zone46.5%
• Depth to bedrock43.9%
• Slope25.9%
