Mottling in the soil profile indicates that the winter water table i~ to high to ~onsider thi~ site for a~y system other than the ~and filter system as a "full code" repair. You are probably aware, the sand filter ~¥stem is a rather expensive ~ystem. As a ~epair, you might want to con~ider~ something less, such as a low pressure distribution installation in lieu of the sand fi~ter. Ke~p in mind however, that anything other than the san~ filter is sub~tandarO %o aurrent rules pertain- ing to subsurface sewage disposal, and as such there is some r~sk that another repair might not perform at all times without some problem. I suggest that you consider =he low pressure ~ystem aG a repair for two reasons. The first is that the low pres- s~re system distributes the effluent evenly over the entire drainfield through smaller p~e~surized distribu- tion latarals. This prevents saturated flow from one small are~ of a ~ingle ~rainline int~ the shallow region- al water table. The second reason is that the ~ressure di~tribution utilizes the sa/~e kina of effluent pump ~hat a sand filter system employs so that pumping unit wall already b~ in place i~ the alternate system should prove inadequate.
