Ferric chloride is pretty harmless stuff. It is the copper, tin and
other metals the enchant eats off broads that are the problem in septic
tanks. The are the ones toxic to life in relativity low concentrations.
Sewage unlike soil doesn't have an unbelievable about of surface area on
the soil particles to bind to copper and mitigate its toxicity and make
it available in a form life can use it.
