What the ground in Severna Park is like

The USDA soil survey rates mapped ground in Severna Park for septic drain-field suitability across roughly 17 square miles. About 97% of the rated ground is classed "Very limited", the survey records severe restrictions for a conventional drain field across most of that ground.

In Severna Park, the leading limit is seepage in the bottom layer: water moves through the soil too quickly. That is the opposite of a slow-drainage problem. The risk is untreated effluent reaching groundwater before the soil can clean it, not backup at the surface. The survey flags that limit on about 82% of the rated ground here.

The limiting features the survey records most often here:

• Seepage, bottom layer81.8%
• Depth to saturated zone49.4%
• Slow water movement26.0%
• Slope23.5%

This is survey data for mapped areas, not a substitute for a site evaluation on your own lot. Conditions on a single parcel can differ from the map.
