Green grass streaks over septic tank field

septic

I've noticed in my yard where the septic tank is that there are two rows of green streaks of grass going in a single direction for about 20 yards or so.

Is this a sign for concern or normal for a septic field?

Thanks for any advice on this issue.

Erma Bombeck, humorist who wrote several very funny books, one was entitled: "The grass is always greener over the septic tank". So unless you have surfacing effluent, bad odors, floating grass, just consider it free fertilizer.
