Re: [GBlist] Building on Rock?

              Your best advice on alternative systems will come from the New 
Mexico State EPA. They have good information. Pretending it is a site in 
their state will speed things up. You are victim to over 100yrs. of wives 
tales and superstition.  We are bound by old archaic beliefs. Modern 
engineers "know " what works, but popular beliefs and politics keep new 
methods from being implemented. Perk, smerk, evaporation is the key. Try 
telling that to your county inspector. There are straw mound systems that 
work. There are "wicking systems that work. Sadly we are hung up on the 
gravel leech field as the ONLY system. NM. can give you some other ideas. 
Good luck getting them accepted/
