Richard,
You need to find out where your septic tank is. Typically, the top of the tank is just a foot or two under the surface. Do you have the plat layout of your house, septic field, septic tank etc. If you do just measure out and begin digging. I found my access cover this summer in about 20 minutes. Another ten minutes of digging and the access lid was ready to be pulled.
As I explain in another thread, I then put in a access cover for future cleanouts. The ring from the tank to the surface of the ground is 28" double-wall plastic conduit and a 28" concrete lid. Put in the pipe, backfill around the pipe, drop on the lid, and you have instant access anytime you wish.
