EPA Onsite Wastewater Treatment: Systems Management

Onsite wastewater treatment systems enable millions of people who do not have access to public sewage and treatment plants to treat household effluent by safely cleansing the wastewater and `return`ing it to the environment. However, faulty treatment systems can contaminate the surrounding environment, spreading contaminants and disease that may pollute groundwater reservoirs for generations. This 4-hour interactive online course is based on Chapter 2: Management of Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems, from the Environmental Protection Agency''s Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems Manual. This chapter is intended as an informational guide to management of these systems, a key element in maintaining the health of the public and the environment.
