What the ground in Ephrata is like

The USDA soil survey rates mapped ground in Ephrata for septic drain-field suitability across roughly 3.4 square miles. About 78% of the rated ground is classed "Somewhat limited", meaning the limits can usually be overcome or reduced by special planning, design or installation.

In Ephrata, the leading limit is slow water movement: effluent does not drain through the soil fast enough, so a conventional field can back up or pond when the ground cannot keep pace. The survey flags that limit on about 100% of the rated ground here.

The limiting features the survey records most often here:

  • Slow water movement99.7%
  • Depth to bedrock77.2%
  • Slope29.8%
  • Depth to saturated zone3.1%

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.
