How far underground is the tank? If the grass isn't growing above the lid of
the tank maybe the top of the lid is only a few inches under the ground and
the grass doesn't get a good root system going there??? Just a thought. I
agree with a previous post the leach field should take away all water and
gas and if it doesn't then it would show up in your basement.IMHO

here in NJ grass loves growing over septic tanks , but septic tank in
Pacific Northwest may have some thing in moist overlying dirt may react
with
septic tank water Or is there just too much water over the septic tank
and
the grass is under tomuch stress.

Shouldn't be any "water" (effluent) coming up out of the tank - just a
little "heat".
The effluent should be exiting through a pipe into a leach field or
something similar.

Is it possible that the exhaust from the tank is noxious to the grass?
Seems odd to me b/c I thought plants thrived when exposed to such an
environment.

Thoughts on the cause and suggestions on what to do to get the grass
growing
for once? Any special dirt treatment?
