First things first - not the fun stuff.

 The absolute first thing to do is to get a soil sample in order to obtain a septic permit. You can't move forward with anything until you have a building permit and you can't get a building permit until you have a septic permit. They won't issue a septic permit until you get a soil test. 

If you don't have a means to dispose of waste you can't build. Advances in septic systems pretty much will allow you build almost anywhere now as long as you have the space. 

The soil scientist will send those results to health department. Apply for your septic permit and hire a certified septic installer. They will then go out to the site and lay out the plans for the septic field bed. Do NOT disturb those flags or the soil in or around that area. There will be lots going on - other dirt work, driveway, well drilling, concrete, etc. Make sure to let every contractor going to your site know that the field bed can not be disturbed in any way or it invalidates your septic permit.
