Soil & Geology — Carter County
Carter County red dirt, limestone, and sandstone with lake-bottom fill — harder southern profiles than eastern metro clay with groundwater on Murray approaches.
Ardmore bores encounter Carter County red dirt with limestone and sandstone lenses — penetration changes on I-35 commercial approaches and Lake Murray lowlands. Groundwater near the lake raises buoyancy risk on long HDPE pulls. Cross Timbers fringe adds intermittent rock sting without Lawton-style caliche dominance.
Weather & Scheduling
South-central heat and Cross Timbers humidity — summer dominates long I-35 pulls; spring storms soften lake-adjacent ROW around Lake Murray.
Summer heat dominates crew scheduling on long I-35 pulls. Spring storms soften lake-adjacent ROW briefly. Tourism-season traffic on Main and Noble affects MOT windows on commercial bores — we plan entry timing around weather and corridor use.
