There are also near-surface and surface systems for leach fields http://www.infiltratorsystems.com/ . There is a mound system that a friend of mine had approved in the coastal mountains of California. I haven't found the link to information about that system, but it was entirely above grade, in an area that drained steeply into a riparian corridor; completely satisfying the requirements of Environmental Health, Fish and Game and the Coastal Commission. The infiltrator system depends on a permeable substrate, but it is near-surface and therefore would be in a friable horizon. The mound system relies on imported materials and is independent of the substrate.

I'll try to get more information about the mound system. I am aware that temperature constraints in many parts of the world will mitigate against the mound and near-surface leach fields, but I just wanted to point out that there are possibilities.
