Soil absorption system definition
Soil absorption system means a shallow, covered, excavation surface, or mound made in unsaturated soil into which wastewater effluent from the septic tank is discharged through distribution piping for application onto absorption surfaces through porous media or manufactured components.
Soil absorption system means the final treatment component of an onsite sewage treatment system that utilizes absorption and adsorption to treat and disperse the treated sewage into subsurface soils.
Soil absorption system means a drainfield, leaching area, or seepage bed, including the effluent application or distribution system used for the soil based dispersal and treatment of wastewater or effluent. The soil absorption system includes the infiltrative soil surface in the absorption trench, the undisturbed soil between and around the trenches, and a final cover of suitable soil to stabilize the completed installation, support vegetative growth and shed runoff.

Soil absorption system means a method of utilizing the soil for subsequent absorption of sewage; e.g., a trench, bed, or a combination thereof.
Soil absorption system means a method of distributing septic tank effluent to subsurface soils typically by means of a series of distribution pipes, surrounded by approved aggregate in a trench or bed design. It shall also include block trenches, gravelless chambers, and other systems defined in these regulations and as approved by the Health Officer.
Soil absorption system means that part of an onsite sewage treatment system that distributes septic tank effluent through an arrangement of tile trenches, drainbeds, dry wells or other approved method(s) by the Department and which allows the surrounding soil to absorb and treat the effluent.
Soil absorption system means a surface or subsurface system using soil for the treatment and disposal of effluent from a domestic wastewater treatment works; "soil absorption system" includes a filtering field, leaching field, seepage bed, or seepage pit, but does not include a cesspool;
Soil absorption system means a system constructed underground which allows the effluent to be absorbed into the surrounding soil.

Soil absorption system means a conventional, at-grade, mound, or soil absorption bed system that uses a system of perforated conduits connected to a distribution system, forming a series of subsurface, water-carrying channels into which the treated effluent or pretreated effluent is discharged for direct absorption into the soil (referred to as part of the open portion of the treatment system).
