Hydrologic Indicators
The tabulations provided for whether a floodplain or stream buffer is present on the property, and if so how much, is not from a survey. This data taken from Fairfax County's Geographic Information System (GIS) and may contain significant inaccuracies, including both the parcel boundaries and flood plain extents, and thus and calculation is approximate. This information is meant to be a representation of the County's GIS data and does not replace a site-specific survey.
Watershed: Cameron Run There are 30 designated watersheds in Fairfax County.
Floodplain: Yes, approx 26.1 acre (78%) The Fairfax County Recorded Floodplain (FPL) only represents recorded floodplains from individual subdivision submissions and does not denote the full boundaries of FEMA’s 100 year flood zone.
Resource Protection Area: Yes, approx 26.3 acre (79%) Resource Protection Areas (RPAs) are the corridors of environmentally sensitive land that lie alongside or near the shorelines of streams, rivers and other waterways. Fairfax County has regulations that limit development and building in these designated areas.
100' Stream Buffer (70-360ac): Yes, approx 8.1 acre (24%) This stream buffer is used to estimate a floodplain when no other floodplain study has been conducted. This is applied to stream segments with a drainage area of greater than 70 acres but less than 360 acres.
FEMA DFIRM: Yes, approx 5.9 acre (18%) The Federal Emergency Management Agency Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (FEMA DFIRM) represents high risk areas with a one-percent chance of inundation by a base flood in any given year. These areas are identified by the National Flood Insurance Program maps. Floodplain management regulations must be enforced and mandatory purchase of flood insurance applies to these areas.
Soil
The tabulations provided for whether a soil type is present on the property is taken from Fairfax County's Geographic Information System (GIS) soil map layer and may contain significant inaccuracies, including both in the parcel boundaries and soil type extents, and thus calculation is approximate. This information is meant to be a representation of the County's GIS data and does not replace a site-specific soil survey. See the Fairfax County Soil & Water Conservation District website for more information.
Soils (Official 2018): 30A, 95, 98 Information on 2018 soil survey codes and how the data were collected may be found at the Fairfax County Soil & Water Conservation District website.
Asbestos Soils: NO Asbestos is a naturally formed mineral fiber and a confirmed human carcinogen. Extensive regulations have been created to protect public and worker health by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). In Virginia these regulations are enforced by the Virginia Department of Labor and Industry.
Marine Clay: Yes, approx 4136 sqft (0%) Marine clay is a type of soil found in Fairfax County that contains clays that swell upon wetting and shrink upon drying. Potential problems associated with these soils include land slippage and slope instability, shrinking and swelling of clays, poor foundation support, and poor drainage.
Marumsco Soils: NO Marumsco soils are mapped in complexes with other soil types. The complexes are highly variable and consist of combinations of clays, silts, sands, and gravels. They may also be problematic. In steep areas that contain clays known as "marine clays" slope stability can be a problem. In addition, structures constructed on clays found in this complex could suffer foundation distress if adequate precautions are not taken during design and construction.
Other Shrink Swell Soils: NO These soils with clay minerals that will expand when wet and retract when dry. This ability to drastically change volume can cause engineering problems, or damage to existing structures.
Radon Potential: 1 Radon potential is given in levels of 1 (low) to 5 (high). Radon is a natural, carcinogenic radioactive gas that is colorless, tasteless and odorless. Testing your home, workplace or other normally occupied area is the only way to know for sure if an indoor radon problem exists.
