z Nov. 11, 1965 TO: Richard D. Cantrell, Sanitarian Supervisor, Loudoun County. FROM: Dwight L. Kaster, Soil Scientist, Loudoun County. RE: Suitability of soils for individual absorption fields for a sewage disposal system. As per your request, the following is a report on soil conditions rela- tive to suitability for septic tank drainage fields on Lot 12, Section 2A of the Richland Acres Subdivision. This lot is owned by Ar. Smith P. Kerr. The soil on this lot,except for a small area in the southeast corner adjacent to a small drainageway, is moderately well drained and developed from the weathered products of red shale rock materials. This soil has a light brown to pale brown friable silt loam surface soil and a yellowish - red friable silty clay loam to silt loam subsoil. Faint mottles of pale brown and pinkish-gray occur in the lower subsoil which is a good indication of restricted internal drainage. Depth to relatively hard red shale that appears not to be very well fractured ranges from 18 to 42 inches below the surface of the ground. I would consider this soil as unfavorable in suit- ability for septic tank drainage fields. The soil adjacent to the small drainageway in the southeast corner of this lot is somewhat poorly to moderately well drained and developed from the weathered products of red shale rock materials. It has a yellowish - brown friable silt loam surface soil a��`.t ellowish -brown friable silty clay loam upper subsoil that is faintly -.wit pale brown. The lower sub- soil (below 20 inches) contains a hardpan layer that is very slowly perme- able to water. Consequently, I would consider this soil as unfavorable in suitability for a septic tank drainage field. DLK:bk cc/ Mr. Turner
