What the ground in Summit is like

The USDA soil survey rates mapped ground in Summit for septic drain-field suitability across roughly 2.3 square miles. About 100% of the rated ground is classed "Very limited", the survey records severe restrictions for a conventional drain field across most of that ground.

In Summit, the leading limit is depth to the saturated zone: the water table sits so close to the surface that a drain field has little dry soil left underneath it. Effluent needs unsaturated ground to treat and disperse; when that column is thin, the field has nowhere safe to go. The survey flags that limit on about 90% of the rated ground here.

The limiting features the survey records most often here:

• Depth to saturated zone90.2%
• Slow water movement90.1%
• Flooding16.9%
• Seepage, bottom layer9.5%

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.
