Thanks for the input everyone, we have someone coming out to look at it this week. This is a holding tank at a higher elevation than the house, so that hose you see is from the septic pump under the house. It then flows through an intermediate tank and then is pumped to the leachfield from there, which is further uphill. As others have said, effluent is not leaking out due to the outflow pipe being lower that this inflow. Totally agree we don't want debris entering or smell escaping, so hopefully they can fix it easily. There has been some erosion over the past 10 years+, so like the idea of layering in more stone after repairs.
