What the ground in Henderson is like

The USDA soil survey rates mapped ground in Henderson for septic drain-field suitability across roughly 121 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 Henderson, the leading limit is filtering capacity: the soil does not clean effluent thoroughly enough on its way through. A drain field is a treatment system as well as a disposal path; when the ground cannot filter well, pathogens and nutrients travel farther than the survey allows. The survey flags that limit on about 42% of the rated ground here.

The limiting features the survey records most often here:

• Filtering capacity42.4%
• Depth to cemented pan28.3%
• Depth to bedrock27.8%
• Slope25.6%

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.
