What the ground in Charlottesville is like
The USDA soil survey rates mapped ground in Charlottesville for septic drain-field suitability across roughly 10 square miles. About 66% of the rated ground is classed "Somewhat limited", meaning the limits can usually be overcome or reduced by special planning, design or installation.
In Charlottesville, the leading limit is slope: the ground falls steeply enough that a level trench line is hard to hold. A drain field has to sit across the grade without concentrating flow downhill; on steeper parcels that layout gets tighter. The survey flags that limit on about 76% of the rated ground here.
