Project Summary: Alternative Onsite Wastewater Treatment and Disposal Systems on Severely Limited Sites

摘要

Several research and evaluation studies were performed on alternative onsite wastewater treatment and disposal systems at sites with severe limitations for conventional systems. The soil properties, soil moisture regime, and shallow groundwater table at the research locations were characterized to gain a better understanding of the ability of the soils to treat and dispose of wastewater. Several typical site evaluation techniques were assessed, and because of a seasonally high groundwater table present in the soils of this study, groundwater contamination was investigated.
