Lee,
I was doing discharge dyeing of black fabrics with bleach and then over dyeing afterwards. The vinegar was supposed to arrest the continuing "burning" of the fibers by the bleach. Garments we treated that way did not get holes where we had discharged them, and ones we didn't treat with the vinegar did. One long sleeve T-shirt I wore for over 10 years and it never developed holes.

We have a 1000 gallon septic system. It looks like we don't need to worry from the looks of the responses here. Thanks and looking forward white undies!

According to the label on the Zep product we use in our system, it's not only bleach that kills the good bacteria, it's the soaps and detergents.
