Steve,

Are you sure you have a septic system? You may have a line dropping raw
sewage into a nearby river. What you describe sounds like a leach field
but a leach field must have a tank.

....a leach field _SHOULD_ have a tank..."

What somebody did to cut corners is anybody's guess, I guess...

....

I do see some digging, though. I'm going to call the septic guy and have
him come and assess the situation, and maybe run a camera down the tube.

The whole purpose of this is to make sure the septic system is in good shape
before I bring in a bunch of sand and gravel to level the driveway and
parking areas.

Did you just purchase this property? If so: Wasn't it necessary for
previous owner to disclose the condition prior to purchase? Didn't do
an inspection prior to purchase? Can't ask prior owner what the deal is
now even if others are "no"?
