What a coincidence...Septic is the only thing we have to get approved up here in Mineral County, WV.
What size tank is that in the photo? We have to have a 1000 gallon tank min. Seems awfully large to me. Why did you go with plastic over concrete for the tank?
The tank is 1000 gallons. Plastic was easier for installation reasons (concrete requires a bigger truck, a boom crane, etc.), especially with our site. The biggest downside for plastic is floating, but we got 600 gallons of water in it right away, and it's downhill of the retaining wall, so hopefully there won't be any movement.
