Tired-of-septic

Just had new septic field lines replaced five years ago, and I had two new lines added last summer because I was getting a lot of wet soil at the end of the field line. Well it's no longer wet at the area they added onto, but now it's getting the same problem a the new end of the field line. The tank was pumped a couple months ago, and we've never had any indoor issues with the septic. The septic is on a hill/slope and we have had alot of rain. Is it normal to have some wet ground at the end of a septic line? Besides being on a hill, the end of the septic line is fifty feet from the lake. Would the water table be a issue? The area is mainly dirt with patches of grass, that's why it was so noticeable . Would it help the issue if I put more dirt on top of the area? Septic guy that did the install said it's because of the rain we've been getting. Any thoughts?
