he
partially treated wastewater from the septic tank is discharged into the
soil at a shallow depth by means of a disposal field (also known as
Leachfield). The components of a disposal field are made up of stone,
or proprietary leaching devices, that are designed to transmit
wastewater into the surrounding soil. The disposal field serves to
absorb the effluent load from the septic tank, provide a temporary
storage area during periods of large water use, and additionally treat
the effluent.
