Sure sounds like it isn't, at least according to the county.

Its fundamental to the decision of septic design, not tangential. Its not a dishonest strawman to bring up the core, fundamental concept at issue here.

> dumping cancer causing chemicals on the ground that's a separate problem than organic waste

Yeah that's right, my waste is fine, their waste is a problem. Who cares if my neighbors have to drink my shit?

> you don't get how it works.

I sure do.

> The whole point of a septic is that it's fine as long as you don't sink your well pipe through the leech field.

If the ground water is too high, you'll have more problems. Like, say, potentially some random property in the land of 10,000 lakes.

> I hope someday you buy property and seek to further develop it

I already have, and I haven't purposefully flooded out or poisoned my neighbors to do it.

I'd potentially have a different opinion if I actually had some real facts about the property other than just some random property in a place known to have a high water table having an issue getting septic permitted. You even said yourself its got a high water table at the property! It honestly doesn't seem surprising to me to see a place like that having an issue with septic systems. But just a "trust me bro gubmit bad" attitude doesn't really change my opinion.

Cool beans buddy. Have a good night.
