pumped out occasionally, so things don't have to be biodegradable, they
just have to (preferably) sink to the bottom of the tank so they don't get
into the septic leach field. When the sediment layer at the bottom of the
tank gets thick enough that it might start threatening to not keep settled
out stuff on the bottom, it should be pumped out. This is very different
from needing things to be biodegradable.
