Soil & Site Conditions

Soil Series Urban land
Drainage / Hydric  ·  Hydric: No
Flood Frequency None
Foundation Risk High
Reflects the soil's demand on foundation engineering, not the condition of any existing structure. High is the regional norm throughout northwest Louisiana due to expansive Vertisol clay soils. It indicates that an engineered foundation (pier-and-beam or post-tensioned slab) is standard practice here, and may appear as an appraisal "subject to" condition on new construction.
Shrink-Swell Moderate LEP 3.50
Clay-rich soils expand when wet and contract when dry, causing seasonal ground movement that can crack foundations and buckle pavement. Moderate risk — standard pier-and-beam or reinforced slab recommended.
Road Suitability Low strength
NRCS engineering rating for road and pavement construction. "Low strength" means soils have insufficient bearing capacity and require engineered subgrade treatment — common in clay-rich NWLA soils.
Building Site Suitability Not rated; Fragments > 75mm
NRCS rating for site development. "Shrink-swell" means expansive clay soils cause seasonal ground movement that requires an engineered foundation — pier-and-beam or post-tensioned slab rather than a standard pour.
