What the ground in Jacksonville is like

The USDA soil survey rates every mapped parcel for its suitability as a septic drain field. Across Jacksonville's 49.9 square miles, 91.1% of the rated ground is classed "Very limited", meaning restrictions severe enough that a conventional field is often unsuitable and an engineered system may be required.

The limiting features the survey records most often here:

• Depth to saturated zone92.1%
• Slow water movement57.1%
• Seepage, bottom layer53.9%
• Flooding10.7%

The most common soil series underfoot: Baymeade, Goldsboro, Marvyn.

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.
