. . . going to have to replace leach field. My question is what are the
requirements for installing a new leach field? My home is over 30
years old and a neighbor stated that code has changed and my .5 acre
wasn't big enough to install a new leach field or even replace the
existing field.

This is obviously wrong. Leach fields are 30 or 40 feet square. You
own about 500 x 500 ft.


The notion that a typical leach field is 30 sq ft is off by more than
an order of magnitude, even for a small house.


Square feet (not equal) feet square.
