What the ground in Troy is like
The USDA soil survey rates mapped ground in Troy for septic drain-field suitability across roughly 10 square miles. About 98% of the rated ground is classed "Very limited", the survey records severe restrictions for a conventional drain field across most of that ground.
In Troy, the leading limit is slope: the ground falls steeply enough that a level trench line is hard to hold. A drain field has to sit across the grade without concentrating flow downhill; on steeper parcels that layout gets tighter. The survey flags that limit on about 57% of the rated ground here.
