So, I went down a short rabbit hole on the International Residential Code. Oklahoma does follow the IBC/IEBC/IRC/etc. with modifications by a state committee. However, if you read the code the footing can be on "undisturbed natural soils". We need a stronger requirements.

Man, I remember back in the day having to have books open and the list of "changes" open separately. I love that they put the base document with amendments online so anyone can look it up. That's "good" progress.
