a dry well may be your answer, but because of a high water table as you say may not work. as kactus said discharging the sump contents into your septic tank is not the way. the anerobic action of bacteria breaks down the solids into a liquid is discharged into the leach field. if you could make a dry well, a hole dug below the frost line and lined with varying stages of gravel may leach the sump contents into the surrounding soil. the red brick in your sump hole now, acts like a sponge to gather groundwater for further discharge.
