that white item sticking out of the ground in picture 3 in the bottom left corner..related to the lid?

Look at the clearance you need to keep a storage tank or any other tank configuration from a home. That vent cap is a foot away from the wall.
So if it was a lift, would it not be further away from the residence.
So I think the wag of a "clean out entry " for a back stopper makes sence to me.
I also find it funny to be located in the back becuse most sanatry lines run under the street.
No leaching field there , too small.
It must be a pump out.
What was the homes elevation as you drove to the inspection Mr.Carter ?
Was the basement or lowest point of the property in a low area.
The home to the right is elevated.
Is the land a old dump ground and there is a network of piping to catch the gasses.
Installing a leachate collection treatment system--a system that will remove the water within the landfill and remove the contaminants from the water
Installing a methane gas collection system which will collect the gas from within the landfills and flare it off into the atmosphere
Connecting private residents on National, Zink, and Kaufman Avenue to the city of Fairborn's municipal water supply.

Just asking questions.

That actually does look like a clean-out access, but it's located more like here a shut-off valve would be.

I'd recommend a plumbing contractor get out there and identify what's behind that big green lid. Was it fastened so that a child couldn't lift it and gain entry?

This is it Mr Vaagen, and everyone else. It even has the plastic 24" pipe underneath. Only thing is, the homes are on public sewer system. I live in the same neighborhood. So it must have something to do with the city sewer. You would think the building inspectors would know then. I'll visit the sewer department tomorrow with a pic and see if they know. There are a lot of homes and townhouses on the hill above. I find it odd that they would put something like that right against someones home. Of course there were four builders and a private developer, so anything is possible, I guess. The main sewer is under the street, and the white pipe in the front yard is a cleanout for the home. Thank you everyone! I'll let you know the final determination.

Oh, and Mr. Young. The neighborhood was built on an old apple orchard. The landfill idea was a good one though.
