`..- 086 <br /> Orange Soil and Water Conservation District <br /> Orange County Agricultural/Environmental Center <br /> 306 Revere Road <br /> Hillsborough, NC 27278 Phone: (919) 732-9361, Ext. 451 <br /> March 9, 1988 <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: Emily Crudup, Planner II , Orange Co. Planning Department <br /> FROM: Gail M. Hu es, Soil Conservationist <br /> SUBJECT: Setter Run, Section Two <br /> The soils on this site are Appling, Helena, Cecil and Chewacla. <br /> Appling and Cecil have slight limitations for dwellings with and <br /> without basements, and moderate limitations for septic tank <br /> absorption fields. Helena has severe limitations for dwellings <br /> with and without basement because of shrink-swell , and severe <br /> limitation for septic tank absorption fields because of slow <br /> percolation. Chewacla has severe limitation for development be- <br /> cause of a seasonal high water table and flooding. <br /> Moderate limitations for septic tank absorption fields can usually <br /> be overcome by increasing the area of the absorption fields. <br /> Severe limitations for other uses will require special absorption <br /> field and foundation designs. <br /> If I can be of further assistance, please call . <br /> GMH:jw <br /> CONSERVATION - DEVELOPMENT- SELF-GOVERNMENT <br />
