Aggregate chamber leach lines for leaching effluent and associated method

A chamber leach line for leaching effluent in a leach field,, comprising:

• at least one trench excavated in the leach field;
• and
• at least one chamber unit connected in fluid connection with a source of effluent and positioned in said trench for leaching the effluent to the soil;
• wherein said chamber unit comprises a cavity for therein receiving the effluent for leaching, at least one panel positioned along a periphery of said cavity, and positioned adjacent said panel a plurality of aggregate drainage lines, each drainage line of the plurality having a perforated conduit and a lightweight aggregate substantially contained within a water permeable material for filtering effluent, wherein said plurality of aggregate drainage lines comprises lateral peripheries of said chamber unit.

A leach field for leaching effluent into soil, comprising:

• a source of effluent;
• at least one trench excavated in the soil adjacent said source of effluent;
• and
• at least one leach line positioned in said trench in fluid connection with said source of effluent for distributing the effluent by leaching into the leach field;
• wherein said leach line includes at least one chamber unit comprising a chamber cavity for therein receiving the effluent for leaching, at least one panel positioned along a periphery of said chamber cavity, and a plurality of prefabricated drainage lines having a water permeable material substantially surrounding a perforated conduit and a lightweight aggregate, said plurality of drainage lines positioned adjacent said panel for filtering effluent, wherein said plurality of prefabricated drainage lines comprises a lateral periphery of said chamber cavity.
