What should be done if the site does not allow for a "long and narrow" mound design?

If the site does not permit a "long and narrow" mound design, utilizing different sewage treatment technology is the most appropriate course of action. In scenarios where space is restricted or the topography does not support traditional mound systems, alternative treatment methods can be implemented. These technologies may include aerobic treatment units, constructed wetlands, or other advanced sewage treatment solutions that are more compact and can effectively manage wastewater without requiring extensive space.

Choosing a different sewage treatment technology allows for compliance with regulations while ensuring proper treatment of waste in confined areas, thereby protecting public health and the environment. This option opens up possibilities for adapting to site-specific conditions instead of forcing a design that cannot be effectively implemented or could lead to potential failure or environmental harm.
