Clearing was part of the "house pad etc" I mentioned. Just a septic would probably be about 6000$. The tank size is also different cost and size as you increase bedrooms.
The leach field is a requirment and varies in size and depth depending on # of bedrooms. These don't need pumping. Some I believe can be built without a leachfield, but require a pumping contract.
There is also a 5' setback to build a wall (cesspool is 10'). A cesspool is still legal for over an acre or larger ag zoned lot unless near the ocean, and is considerably cheaper than a septic.
