This really seems like them overstepping their bounds if this is a traditional septic tank and drain fill
I have been a wastewater collection certification instructor for many years and I have never heard of a county or DHEC inspecting an existing septic tank. Mainly because if it’s a conventional tank and drain fill it is private property and the inflow and infiltration that it takes on has zero bearing on the load of the city wastewater system and treatment so why would they even care?
The only thing that will happen with your tank as it currently sits it inflow during a heavy rain event. When that happens your tank will be full of rain water and not be able to take the water from the house. It happens all the time when the groundwater table is high and the drain fill can’t absorb the tank water.
Did the inspector not tell you how to fix it? They should have a design manual with specs of how they want it fixed
