One farm I know of for sure in our area has a permit for an open earth pit. It used to be all concrete, but then the walls collapsed. They had a company come in a fish the large chunks out with a crane, and then at the same time they dug it out bigger on 2 sides with a permit from the DNR. Apparantly they're also a part of a study, or were at one time, on how well our red clay holds such waste.
Keep in mind that the pit, where it was dug out, is just stictly excavation. No barriers or any prep work was done to prevent seepage. Our clay here is pretty good at holding it's siht together apparantly. There are a good number of larger farmers who inject it right away, and in all reality it does make sense in some aplications. There are also many more large dairies that haul liquid on their hayfields as soon as the crop is off, and you can bet that never gets incorporated.
Also, whenever a new home is built or an older septic tank goes bad, the homeowner has 2 options.
1: Install a holding tank and have it pumped all the time.
2: Install a mound system.
I'm sure there are more places like this, as it's just a sign of the times.
Our house is grandfathered in and has had a septic put in about as late as it could have been, from my understanding. God help me if (when) it goes bad....

After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
