| Abstract |
The seepage pit is a common method of transmitting septic tank effluent into the soil. The most extensive application of the method has been in the western United States; however, pits have been used in significant numbers but on a spotty basis in many states throughout the nation. The study is devoted entirely to the problem of introducing septic tank effluent into the soil. The report determines under what conditions seepage pits are a satisfactory means of disposing of septic tank effluent at individual households, devises practical tests for judging the suitability of soils for seepage pits, and identifies design, construction, and administrative control practices desirable for good pit performance. |
