...I'm weird and into this kinda "crap", but I also think you should make a soundtrack... lol... in this I heard GnR, Heart, and the Rolling Stones... EXCELLENT TASTE IN MUSIC!! haha! Neat to see the progress..
Well, research shows, it goes into the 2nd small box to which 2 or 3 "field pipes" are attached and spreads it around your yard (yuck), but I just left all that in place because the foundation was just going over the main septic tank and that's what I needed to make solid and the septic hasn't been used for many years. Besides, the stuff that drains off is only the top water. The bad stuff sinks to the bottom and gets pumped out from time to time.
That makes sense. It's probably better getting rid of it anyway, just for stablity purposes.
I'm going to build a two story sunroom addition, so I was looking at your footings. I can see I'm going to have go down deeper than I originally thought.
depends where you live. the colder the climate (and therefore the frostline), the deeper they want you to go. forgot what my requirement was but I think somewhere between 2 and 3 feet down. one day i'll look up my old plans.
Because the footing for the new bedroom had to go below the top surface of the septic tank so I would have had to chop a L-shaped channel through it anyway - as it was right at the rear corner of the bedroom I was building. It was easier this way. I didn't have to remove the debris. Just broke it up and made sure it was packed down good with sand and dirt in between and all around the chunks before I poured the footing.

Geez just fill it with dirt and forget it, (or might make a dandy
place to hide stuff someday when the SHTF).

Why not pump the tank and then fill it with dirt, instead of taking the whole thing out?

"Cities of the Underworld", Season 1. Where's Don Wildman?
I can just hear him giving a breathless narration...
