Leach field

[Son]

My leach field is approx 200ft wide by 75ft deep and I was told not to drive on it, does this include motorcycles my kids like to ride dirt bikes in that area and most of my property is a leach field?

Any activity on land will shift siols compacting to differing degrees even walking on it. Example a house built in my area had soil report of compacted soil not acceptable for a finger system. Found out after research on history of land that a herd of cattle bedded in that area being tested and over years packed the soil to the point the septic field had to be moved.

I have a septic field and decided to risk it. 4 wheelers are like motorcycles and boats. Many times they get old in a short time and they move on to other adult toys. Up to you. I have had no ill reaction by allowing those wild childs to run bikes and 4 wheelers over my system in the last 15 years.

Your risk your choice.

Good Luck
