• The three soil measurements (permeability, depth to bedrock and to the water table, slope) and what they decide: which septic system the lot allows, if any
• The distances that decide whether the lot is big enough: well and field 15 m apart, well and septic tank 10 m, property lines, the house, lakes and streams, the neighbours' wells
• Why a composting toilet does not let you skip the septic system, and the lists of questions to ask the authority in charge of septic systems, the seller and the person who will evaluate the site
