It is generally believed that four feet deep of good quality percable soil is the minimum amount needed to adequately treat and disperse the sewage effluent generating from a dwelling. The quality of this soil is measured in many ways but a percolation test is normally done to determine how quickly and for how long this soil will accept effluent.
The desired location of the septic field also has to be taken into consideration. Any potential storm or ground water that may impact the workings of the septic field must be diverted.
The septic field must be placed so that there will not be vehicle traffic or building structures eventually placed over the top of the area.
