My Septic System Experiment

[cqaigy2]

I don't mind the septic permit and periodic inspection fees, if it means keeping shellfish harvesting safe and healthy. I do mind that the County doesn't even begin to consider installing cutting edge systems like peatmoss drain beds to increase denitrification.

My house has a sand filter that pumps to a mound. I have the mound disconnected and the sand filter pumps to my yard and my trees...don't tell the county. When we sell, I'll hook it up right and the new owners will have years left on their mound.

Sounds like an interesting method. Especially interested in the nitrogen sequestering. Where is it being retained?

I wonder what gets different methods to be accepted by county or whatever. I know in my father's case, he got the engineering specs together to have them to add another pipe material and attachment method for sewage, so it can be done.
