What the ground in Freeport is like

The USDA soil survey rates mapped ground in Freeport for septic drain-field suitability across roughly 15 square miles. About 96% 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 Freeport, the leading limit is flooding: parts of the mapped ground sit in areas that inundate from time to time. A drain field under water cannot treat or disperse effluent, and floodwater can lift untreated waste into the open. The survey flags that limit on about 99% of the rated ground here.

The limiting features the survey records most often here:

• Flooding98.9%
• Slow water movement81.6%
• Depth to saturated zone76.9%
• Seepage, bottom layer3.7%

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.
