All outlet openings in the box shall be at the same level and shall be four inches above the box bottom permitting water retention to act in lieu of a baffle. The inlet shall be at least one inch above the bottom of the outlets. This distribution box shall be provided with a removable, substantial cover. The distribution box shall not be closer than four feet to the septic tank. All lines leading from the distribution box shall be sealed for a distance of six feet and this tile cannot be treated as part of a seepage field area.
