What the ground in Haysi is like

The USDA soil survey rates mapped ground in Haysi for septic drain-field suitability across roughly 3.7 square miles. About 96% of the rated ground is classed "Very limited", the survey records severe restrictions for a conventional drain field across most of that ground.

In Haysi, 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 94% of the rated ground here.

The limiting features the survey records most often here:

• Slope94.2%
• Large stones62.9%
• Seepage, bottom layer53.4%
• Depth to bedrock52.1%

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.
