The limiting features the survey records most often here:

• Slope62.9%
• Depth to bedrock45.9%
• Slow water movement44.5%
• Seepage, bottom layer33.8%

The most common soil series underfoot: Cajalco, Ramona, Cieneba.

This is survey data for the area, not a substitute for a site evaluation on your own lot. A soil scientist or your county health department tests the actual parcel, and the result can differ from the map.
