Default Septic tank lid seal

How about a little bit of sand? Remove lid, spread a handful of sand
around the top of the rim, replace lid.

I have a septic tank with round concrete lids at grade

As the concrete is a bit rough and uneven,
the lids do not seal very well.
Depending upon atmospheric and other conditions the
area is a bit malodorous.

How is a seal usually formed for such things?
Are there gaskets that are used? A ton of plumber's putty?
Something else?
