What the ground in Marshville is like

The USDA soil survey rates mapped ground in Marshville for septic drain-field suitability across roughly 2.3 square miles. About 100% 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 Marshville, the leading limit is depth to bedrock: rock sits close enough to the surface that there is not enough soil column above it for a conventional field to sit in. Effluent needs that depth to disperse; when bedrock comes up, the workable layer runs out. The survey flags that limit on about 100% of the rated ground here.

The limiting features the survey records most often here:

• Depth to bedrock100.0%
• Slow water movement91.1%
• Depth to saturated zone42.8%
• Seepage, bottom layer8.9%

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.
