Very limited
In Meigs County, OH, 97.7% of the surveyed land carries a "Very limited" rating for a standard septic drain field.

What Meigs County's reading doesn't cover
Meigs County's rating is an average across the whole county, not a promise about any one lot inside it. A local percolation test, typically $750-$1,850 (around $1,300 typical), is the only way to know what one lot in Meigs County will actually do.
What a system would cost here
With 97.7% of Meigs County rating "Very limited", a standard gravity system is not a safe assumption here. The engineered-system range, $10,000-$40,000 (mound or aerobic treatment), is the more realistic number to plan around, against $3,000-$8,000 for a conventional system on the rare lot that passes.
