River Clay
Plaquemine sits on the west bank of the Mississippi in Iberville Parish. Much of the river's floodplain is heavy clay like the Sharkey series, which the USDA describes as very deep, poorly drained, very slowly permeable clay. In most years it cracks 1 to 3 centimeters wide to depths of 20 to 24 inches or more.
Ground that swells and shrinks pushes posts around. Contractors counter it with deeper holes, concrete footings and post materials that don't rot in wet clay.
