How close to plant birch to septic when river close by

L A

If I Plant birch close to a river will the roots still go toward my septic field? I have a lot of land that had to be clear cut and I'm trying to fill it in again but I am dealing with 2 homes and 2 septic fields in an area with many springs and water problems, we are also in a hill and a lot of water is coming down the hill when it rains. I'd like trees to help with soil erosion and water. The areas I'm looking to plant would be near a stream or river and 40 feet from septic and the other area is 20 feet + from the house foundation.
