Not really "new" but peat filter systems like this

are being used in this area (rural Kanata) extensively, even in rural  
subdivision developments with over-sized McMansion crackerboxes, largely  
because the rocky terrain with little or no soil overburden would require  
the construction of a raised filter media-type bed for the leach field.
