One of my friends was visiting his daughter in Kansas and was talking about the "backyard pond" his grandkids were playing in. He knows what it is, he didn't seem too worried about it though. Every house in the neighborhood has one. I guess his daughter only emptied the septic tank when "solids" showed up in the pond.
Several years ago I helped drain and clean a septic system for some family friends that had little money for a replacement. When we pulled the leach fields (half cut 55 gallon barrels laid end to end) to replace them we found that the peach tree in the front yard had roots running down both fields. That thing had been getting moisture out of there for years. Darn tree always had the best tasting peaches in the neighborhood........
Look at it this way, at least the tree filtered it before making your peaches.

our she'll still hasn't been delivered yet, but we did finalize the floor plan and rendered it in a 3D program. For now we are just running a line for the sewage to run directly to the septic tank on the property, but once we get our own land we will have to modify it to a detachable tank that we can bring to my mom's to dump.

Sometimes you can convince governing bodies to give you a variance as long as there is science to support your idea. A couple in California treat gray water as resource and it goes through a plant filtering process down a slow moving stream they created. Another guy I saw uses a solar treatment method, and another couple use vermicomposting of solids mixed with plant compost for non edible plants. It takes years, but earthworms guts destroy harmful bacteria in the poo...
