the leech field could be uphill of the structure.
this is quite common when the preferred location of a swimming pool (now or future) interferes.
so, the pool is positioned optimally, and the crap is pumped uphill to suit.
as noted above, get a generator or your blackwater isn't going uphill.
also, have a means to manually run the pump, so you can push as much out as possible before the power goes off.
