What the ground in Hurricane is like

The USDA soil survey rates mapped ground in Hurricane for septic drain-field suitability across roughly 53 square miles. About 76% 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 Hurricane, the leading limit is depth to a cemented pan: a hard, nearly impermeable layer sits partway down the profile. Water and effluent pond above that pan instead of moving through the full soil column. The survey flags that limit on about 47% of the rated ground here.

The limiting features the survey records most often here:

• Depth to cemented pan46.7%
• Depth to bedrock38.9%
• Slow water movement26.4%
• Filtering capacity18.1%

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.
