well drainage field, and a new holding tank. Its DONE!! chitty weather, logistics, clearing lot, etc. it was a challenge. About 180' drainange pipes, trenches avg about 2.5 feet deep, 18" top soil, then a sandy, clay loam layer(natural)8>9" into loam, doesn't hold water for long or to fast drainging.. virtualy no large rocks, and good slope to back yard for 2 long main drainage lines {H) pattern between upper/lower levels of drian beds. All shot, layed out with laser transit... 7"gravel bed, pipe, 7 " gravel top, and then top soiled. 3 days of on off rain, rained all day saturday... no drinage issues in soil it all was built in. Completed Sunday just about sunset.
