The soils on this site are Appling, Chewacla, Louisburg and <br /> Wedowee. <br /> Appling has moderate limitations for septic tank absorption <br /> fields because of slow percolation. Appling also has moderate <br /> limitations for dwellings with and without basements. Chewacla <br /> has severe limitations for septic tank absorption fields and <br /> dwellings because' of a seasonal high water table and flooding. <br /> Louisburg has moderate limitations for the same uses because of <br /> depth to bedrock. <br /> • Wedowee has moderate limitations for septic tank absorption <br /> fields because of slow percolation and severe limitation for <br /> dwellings with and without basement because of slope, low <br /> strength, and high shrink-swell. <br /> 2. The Orange County Soil Survey indicates that there is bedrock <br /> at or near the surface that may affect development in those <br /> areas. • <br /> If I can be of further assistance, please call. <br /> GMH:jw • <br /> CONSERVATION-DEVELOPMENT-SELF-GOVERNMENT <br />
