Before any construction is allowed to proceed, precautions should be taken to ensure that the absorption site is protected from the compaction that might occur from construction traffic. Be sure to stake off and fence this area as well as an additional 90 feet downslope.

Under no circumstances should construction traffic be in this area. Nor should it be used for storage of construction materials. Even the backhoe used to the construct the trenches can cause compaction if soil conditions are not ideal for construction. Dig from the upslope side!
