For some soils, such costly measures may not be feasible. 2 - Limitations for Sewage Lagoons - Soils with slight limitations are favorable. ly-limited soils have properties that are unfavorable but can be overcome by special planning and design. ly-limited soils have properties so unfavorable that major reclamation, special designs, or intensive maintenance are required. 3 - Permeability - The rate of water movement through the soil. This column uses the slowest rate determined for horizons within the top three feet. Soils with slower permeability rates within the top three feet have greater potential for surface water runoff. 4 - Flooding Potential - The frequency of flooding Depth to Water Table - Depth to the highest level of a saturated zone more than 2 inches thick for continuous periods of more than 2 weeks during most years.
