Notes

1. Flooding or standing water during brief periods of high rainfall makes many areas of these soils unsuitable even though the absorption rate is favorable. Areas protected from flooding or otherwise not subject to flooding may be suitable. These are dominantly well drained and moderately well drained soils along rivers and streams.

2. A seasonally high water table due to position in landscape and/or soil properties make most areas of these soils unsuitable.

3. Depth to bedrock is generally not sufficient to accommodate a septic tank system. There are some spots of these soils with adequate depths.

4. Flooding and / or a seasonally high water table make these soils unsuitable sites for subsurface sewage disposal systems. Areas protected from flooding and / or artificially drained may be suitable.

5. Depth to bedrock is generally sufficient to accommodate a filter field system. There are some spots of these soils with inadequate depths.

6. Depths less than twenty-four (24) inches and equal to or greater than twenty (20) inches shall be used on extra-high intensity soil maps in support of modified mound and drip dispersal consideration only.
