Not necessarily. The state publishes its requirements for leach fields online; it's easy enough to find with a search. Basically, the bottom of the leach bed must be a certain height above "seasonal high water," usually determined by a test pit dug with a backhoe in the proposed area. A raised bed may be required if the high water mark is too close to the surface. There are other requirements, such as distance from water bodies or streams, wells, foundations, etc.
