Septic clean out cap (reddthat.com)

So my dad broke the septic clean out cap with the lawn mower. He cannot find a replacement that is lower to the ground so I am printing a new one. Should I use PETG? Or another material. Also I hope this is not violating some form of regulation in the U.S.

Maybe chemistry is an issue too. Septic is what, methane/(?)?

ASA is basically inert unless you're dealing with weird acids or acetone so I don't worry about the chemistry too much. PETG will generally be a little better chemically but nothing that you'd see in a sewer.
