Formed within
A leaching chamber having an arch-shaped cross-section, a pair of contiguously molded, opposing end walls, and alternating peak and valley corrugations along its length, is provided interior chambers and fluid communication openings along the base on each extending side of the chamber. Formed within the chamber at locations corresponding to each peak corrugation, an inner wall is attached to an interior surface and extends substantially within the peak corrugation to the base of the chamber. An aperture is formed in both the inner wall and in the opposing outer wall of the chamber, enabling fluid communication through the interior chamber--and thus into and out from the interior of the leaching chamber itself.

I claim: 1. A leaching chamber comprising: a corrugated outer shell extending along a longitudinal axis in a manner defining alternating peak corrugations and valley corrugations, said corrugated outer shell having an arch-shaped cross-section with a pair of opposed lateral end walls formed therein
I claim: 1. A leaching chamber comprising: a corrugated outer shell extending along a longitudinal axis in a manner defining alternating peak corrugations and valley corrugations, said corrugated outer shell having an arch-shaped cross-section with a pair of opposed lateral end walls formed therein and no floor; and a plurality of inner walls attached to an interior wall of said corrugated outer shell, each at a location within a separate interior valley formed in said interior wall, with each of said interior valleys corresponding to a peak corrugation formed in said outer shell, said plurality of inner walls extending from a location of attachment to said interior wall to a terminus of a respective one of said interior valleys, each of said plurality of inner walls extending in a manner inwardly spaced from said corrugated outer shell to define a plurality of interior chambers, wherein each of the plurality of interior chambers has an inner wall aperture formed in said respective inner wall and an outer shell aperture formed in the corrugated outer shell. 2. A leaching chamber according to claim 1, wherein the inner wall aperture and the outer shell aperture are vertically off-set. 3. A leaching chamber according to claim 2, wherein the outer shell aperture is at a vertical location that is lower than the inner wall aperture. 4. A leaching chamber according to claim 3, and further comprising a support footing attached to and extending from said corrugated outer shell along each longitudinal terminus thereof. 5. A leaching chamber according to claim 4, and further comprising a footing flange attached to and extending from a base of each of said pair of opposed lateral end walls. 6. A leaching chamber according to claim 5, and further comprising a plurality of stacking nubs formed on and projecting outwardly from said corrugated outer shell at a plurality of lateral, spaced-apart locations. 7. A leaching chamber according to claim 6, wherein said plurality of stacking nubs comprise at least a single linear arrangement substantially parallel to said longitudinal axis of said corrugated outer shell. 8. A leaching chamber according to claim 7, wherein said plurality of stacking nubs comprise a pair of linear arrangements parallel to and symmetrically positioned on each side of said longitudinal axis of said corrugated outer shell, whereby said plurality of stacking nubs provide support to said support footings when a plurality of leaching chambers are vertically stacked. 9. A leaching chamber according to claim 8, wherein said pair of opposed lateral end walls each comprise a contiguously molded structure to said corrugated outer shell, each of said end walls having a connecting pipe aperture centrally formed therein. 10. A leaching chamber according to claim 9, and further comprising at least one fluting extrusion formed on a surface of each of said pair of opposed lateral end walls, said at least one fluting extrusion centrally located and extending between the connecting pipe aperture and the base of the lateral end wall. 11. A leaching chamber according to claim 10, wherein each of said pair of opposed lateral end walls is provided a pair of outer fluting extrusions formed on an outer surface of each of said opposed lateral end walls and a single inner fluting extrusion formed on an inner surface of each of said opposed lateral end walls. 12. A leaching chamber according to claim 10, and further comprising a stop nub formed in an interior wall of said corrugated outer shell and projecting downwardly therefrom, said stop nub cooperatively engaging with a connecting pipe when the latter is selectively received within an interior of said corrugated outer shell, said stop nub engaging with a terminus of said connecting pipe when the latter is received by and extends through said connecting pipe aperture in said lateral end wall, whereby the stop nub prevents the further intrusion of said connecting pipe within said interior of said corrugated outer shell. 13. A leaching chamber according to claim 12, wherein said stop nub is formed in said corrugated outer shell at an apex of said arch-shaped cross-section. 14. A leaching chamber having an arch-shaped cross-section and alternating peak corrugations and valley corrugations along its length comprising: a pair of opposed end walls attached to said leaching chamber at opposite ends thereof, each of said pair of opposed end walls having a connecting pipe aperture formed therein; and a plurality of inner walls attached to an inner surface of said leaching chamber and extending towards a base of said leaching chamber, each of said plurality of inner walls extending in a spaced-apart manner from a separate one of such adjacent lateral wall segment of said leaching chamber as defines one of said alternating peak corrugations, each of said plurality of inner walls and each of said respective adjacent lateral wall segments define an individual interior chamber formed therebetween, each of said inner walls and said adjacent lateral wall segments have an aperture formed therein, whereby fluid communication between an interior of said leaching chamber and an outer environment of said leaching chamber may occur through each of said plurality of interior chambers. 15. The leaching chamber of claim 14, wherein each of the inner wall apertures and each respective one of the adjacent lateral wall apertures are vertically off-set. 16. The leaching chamber of claim 15, wherein the lateral aperture is at a vertical location that is lower than the inner wall aperture. 17. The leaching chamber of claim 16, and further comprising a footing flange formed on each terminus of the lateral walls of the leaching chamber. 18. The leaching chamber of claim 17, wherein said pair of opposed end walls each comprise a contiguously molded structure to said leaching chamber of said arch-shaped cross-section. 19. The leaching chamber of claim 18, and further comprising a footing flange formed in and extending from a base of each said pair of opposed end walls. 20. The leaching chamber of claim 19, and further comprising a plurality of stacking nubs formed on and projecting outwardly from an outer surface of said leaching chamber at a plurality of spaced-apart locations along its length.
