WICHE: What will grow over septic field?

Q: Is there anything I can "do" over a lateral (septic) field? A large section of my back yard is such, and I would like to be able to reclaim some of this lawn. If it matters, it has been in place and problem free for 12 years. I know I could do some container planting, but can I do anything more permanent? Could I put in gravel pathways? Raised beds, perhaps? Any suggestions would be welcome and most appreciated. Thanks, Frank
