Suggestion for tree near leach field

I would like to plant a tree or two in the front of my house, about 60-70 feet away from the leach field. What type of tree/s would you suggest that would not become a problem for the leach field? Thanks.

Julia, I would suggest smaller trees such as redbud, crabapple or serviceberry.
