What the ground in Rio Rancho is like
The USDA soil survey rates mapped ground in Rio Rancho for septic drain-field suitability across roughly 103 square miles. About 37% 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 Rio Rancho, the leading limit is filtering capacity: the soil does not clean effluent thoroughly enough on its way through. A drain field is a treatment system as well as a disposal path; when the ground cannot filter well, pathogens and nutrients travel farther than the survey allows. The survey flags that limit on about 36% of the rated ground here.
