Berkshire County sits on shallow soil over ledge, with pockets of till, where drainage is poor where ledge is close to the surface. Shallow depth to ledge is the governing constraint. Where there is not enough soil above bedrock, the design has to build the treatment layer above grade, which makes replacement noticeably more expensive.
Effluent following the ledge surface and breaking out downslope, sometimes well away from the field itself.
Towns are allowed to adopt their own septic regulations that are stricter than the state code, and many do. That is why the answer to a septic question in one town is not automatically the answer in the town next to it.
