Good day y'all. First post.
I have a situation where I need a septic drainfield. The location I have selected will eventually have more fill on top of it after the field lines are installed leaving the leach lines deeper than the generally recommended 36" or less. The selected site is already prepared with sandy fill at least 36" deep on very porous ground. There is never standing water for more than 30min. and this is only after a deluge.
I do not know if there is a specific reason the recommended depth is 36" or less other than cost to dig deeper. Will my proposed plan keep the septic system from working properly?
