What should have they done with it? ?Why don't you do it then? ?Should

My house also has an abandoned septic tank in the yard. ?I've done with it
the same thing that
you're previous owners did with yours - *nothing*.


Then you should do something. ?Some town have codes and procedures as does
the Uniform Plumbing Code

Ignorance is not an excuse so it would be wise to remedy the bad situation.


big bopulders and rocks BAD IDEA! the dirt that musat o on top will
forever be leaking between boulders and sinking.

you shoulds of filled with gravel little sink with that, or filled
with plain dirt sprayed with water and compacted.

what you added was the worst choice you could of made.....

sorry to give you bad news......


What he did was not that bad. He can cover it with dirt as is. The
worst that will happen is refilling the settling hole several times
over the years. Putting sand down to filter down will require the
same thing so...
