Published 2008

Proper design and installation of a drainfield system are essential for effective effluent treatment to minimize the negative impact on groundwater, surface water, and human health. Proper design includes sizing the drainfield correctly, and taking soil characteristics and wastewater generation rates into consideration. A gravelless system is a good alternative to a traditional drainfield system if the lot is remote, space is tight, and clean gravel or other filter material is difficult to obtain.
