Somewhat limited

USDA puts Logan County, ND at "Somewhat limited" for septic absorption fields, the dominant reading across 49.3% of the county's soil.

The county spans 992.599 square miles, home to 1,880 people.

What this number does and doesn't tell you

USDA's survey covers the whole of Logan County, ND at once, not any single address. Budget $750-$1,850 for a real perc test on any specific parcel - that's the only figure a permit application accepts.

Logan County: conventional vs. engineered cost
