Outstanding observation and statement!
This is an unassailable position that should put this discussion to bed ... in favor of the OP going ahead and dealing with their own black tank waste as they see fit on adequate private acreage. By the way, 1000 acres is way beyond "adequate private acreage". Most private outhouses were on far less land. ;)
There were millions of less people in the country when every house had a outhouse.
Something to think about.
I don't think the population was that much less. They certainly were not on 1000 acres.
I think you'll find the vast majority of homes had gotten rid of an outhouse as a principle means of sewage disposal by WWII, the population of the USA in 1940 was ~132 million.
Today it is nearly triple that.
And that changes the argument.... errr... How?
As usual all the naysaying nannies are telling everyone how dangerous the world is and how we will mess it all up if we even dare to fart...
It's getting a bit tiresome folks...
A little bit of **** scattered here and there even in "unholy" quantities isn't going to affect this planet - it is way more resilient than than you have been told. The entire water supply for North America will not be disaffected because the OP is going to dump his minuscule amount of waste in a small hole in the ground in one and a half square miles of Florida.
I know it's all a bit "icky" for those of the weaker constitution but poop and grey water are not actually unstoppable biological weapons... Trust me on this because if you lot were right we wouldn't need nuclear weapons... We'd simply throw our excrement at one another...
