What the ground in Cherry Valley is like

The USDA soil survey rates mapped ground in Cherry Valley for septic drain-field suitability across roughly 8.4 square miles. About 84% of the rated ground is classed "Very limited", the survey records severe restrictions for a conventional drain field across most of that ground.

In Cherry Valley, 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 80% of the rated ground here.

The limiting features the survey records most often here:

• Slow water movement80.3%
• Seepage, bottom layer54.8%
• Depth to saturated zone40.4%
• Ponding21.2%
