What the ground in Kutztown is like

The USDA soil survey rates mapped ground in Kutztown for septic drain-field suitability across roughly 1.6 square miles. About 48% of the rated ground is classed "Not limited", the survey records few restrictions for a conventional drain field across most of that ground.

In Kutztown, 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 37% of the rated ground here.

The limiting features the survey records most often here:

• Slow water movement37.0%
• Slope20.9%
• Seepage, bottom layer20.3%
• Depth to saturated zone18.5%
