The bacteria in the septic tank break down the sewage into sludge and gray water. The gray water is further filtered by the leech field, which in Hawaii is about 20 x 20. The sludge is eventually pumped out. It's only for new construction but it will help to start restoring the coast areas. This sea life here is very sensitive to raw human waste.
