What the ground in South Lyon is like
The USDA soil survey rates mapped ground in South Lyon for septic drain-field suitability across roughly 3.7 square miles. About 90% of the rated ground is classed "Very limited", meaning the soil has one or more features unfavorable for a conventional drain field, and the limits generally cannot be overcome without major soil reclamation, special design or expensive installation.
In South Lyon, 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 62% of the rated ground here.
