Septic — central OregonKubota KX040-4 on a septic job. Two tank lids set at finish elevation, backfill shaped to blend into the surrounding grade.
Riser set on tankNew riser and lid seated at finish grade, with a spare section staged alongside. Set flush rather than proud, so it does not get caught by a mower.
Line exposed for inspectionExcavation along the buried line to establish the real layout. County records for this system were inaccurate, so the design had to be confirmed in the ground.
Riser lid — detailSecured lid over the access riser. The cast warning is required on every accessible tank opening.
Drainfield — fabric over rockGeotextile laid over the drain rock before backfill. It keeps fines from migrating down and plugging the rock, which is how a drainfield stops draining.
Drainfield trenchDrain rock placed in the trench with inspection ports set. The ports let the system be checked years from now without digging it up again.
Inspection port — detailRiser tied into the distribution line with a sweep rather than a hard elbow. Cheaper to do right on the day than to explain later.
Working the trenchOpening ground on a residential septic dig. Spoil kept to one side of the cut so backfill does not turn into a second job.
Kiowa Drive — regradeExisting driveway cleaned up and brought back to shape ahead of rock. The parking area at the far end is where the exposed rock got buried.
