1. Using the digester/liquefier chemicals in the black water tank and even the gray water tank for that matter breaks down all solids down into liquids and acts much the same as a septic tank.
2. Adding a gallon of bleach (approx $1 per gallon at a Dollar Tree or the like) to the tank or the proper amount per the tanks capacity and allow it to sit for a day assures sterilization of the broken down contents liquid which will then be an inert liquid with zero harmful bacteria/germs and far less toxic then the untreateds gray water is which is legal and OK to dump right on the OP's ground surface.
3. Dumping of this now inert bacteria and germ free liquid slowly into a dug deep hole and allowing it to disperse into the surrounding soil completely and then refill the hole with the same natural dirt that was dug out to make the hole. This acts exactly the same as a drainfield does but has no harmful bacteria or pollutants put into it unlike home drainfields. Want more seperation? Drain into a blue lagoon tote and mote it to a location away from the RV and deposit into the dug hole.
Totally out of contact with animals or humans and remains so. Also potable waterwells or points. Just like a home drainfield which receives many time as much affleunt liquid almost daily for 10's of years of end.
Besides, it's on his own owned 5 acres of land.
No, it's not legal to do the same with that 58 gallon volume of waste water on public lands that you do not have the deed of ownership to.
