OP here. The test is to dig three core holes down to the tile and see how much standing water is in there, plus see how black the gravel is. Then empty tank. No water is allowed to drain back from the field into the tank.
There was standing water about up to the top of the tiles, some black gravel near the bottom of the holes and a trickle of water back into the tank. There has never been surface water, but then we are just two occupants. Buyer has 4 kids and inspector thinks their increased load will quickly have problems.
Next step is to talk to the county, but I figured getting some insight first will allow me to ask better questions.
