Thanks for the info!
I am definitely concerned about being fined....this government land next to me is monitored heavily....I was once sent a certified letter warning me of "encroachment on government land" for mowing a path to the lake....sewage would most likely be followed up with a huge fine.
I didnt think I would have anything to go back on....I still may look into disclosure laws here, but there is probably a statute of limitations. The big issue I have is that they built an illegal system themselves, and rigged it to pass the dye test...the soil must have been draining well because the leech area is definitely not to code.
Just to clarify - the leech area itself is not under the driveway....but the pipes from the house to septic run under the driveway....and if the tank has to be moved, the driveway has to be torn up to access them and redirect them....our driveway is paved.
My situation is a little more complicated because of the government owned property. My tank is shoved against it and the driveway and turnaround border the tank....so its in a mote surrounded by driveway and government land....
