Installing "filter fabric" underneath the gravel or crushed stone isn't necessary. In fact, it could cause problems, because the fabric can plug up, which prevents the water from leaching. You only need the fabric over the top of the aggregate to prevent sediment from getting into the stone. Obviously, the aggregate layer needs protection from the top, but not the bottom. Otherwise, this guy did a pretty good job replacing the Distribution Box for this system.
Perfect World I would have loved to have been given the time to construct, however the materials available (shortage and backorder issues) this distribution box was what was available. Placement of this box was the same spot a smaller cement distribution box was buried (About 4' underground to the top) and the 3 lines were a redirection from 50-year old lines that had failed. From the time I broke ground to when my Wife was grading the surface was about 4 days. We used a combination of a skid steer, a backhoe, and various hand implements.
I've got a old septic system at my house. And a newer one on back side that goes to sprinklers. The old one I was told was disconnected from house. I think it might be going to leech field. How do I trace this old system down on where it went? It's got 1 green riser. Is all I see.

So why don't/didn't you install a riser on it so make it easy access for testing, checking, maint and clean out (if necessary)? Jus' asking...
No speed levelers? No risers?
You need sum baffles to control the flow

Look for dark green grass in a line or depression in ground in a line..or just dig in front of septic tank and follow line
Can you give me a list of materials?
