Are you kidding? Is this a joke? If you're serious your friend needs to get out of the pioneer mentality. Since you didn't mention which county, I just randomly picked Polk which is heavily rural. Even there, their sewage regs state, "Cesspools, seepage pits, dry wells and leaching pits shall not be installed." I think that pretty much eliminates your proposal.
Just so you know, FL sub-surface water supplies are very sensitive to throughput in limestone formations. Right now, in fact, many FL counties, especially in coastal or near-coastal areas, are trying to get rid of all existing septic systems because of recent studies showing even properly working systems are negatively impacting our rivers, the Gulf and the oceans. Just so you know, I'm no bleeding heart liberal climate change snowflake.
