Status
of Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems in U.S. Available on
CD
The NSFC
recently released a new CD-ROM that provides information about
onsite wastewater systems in all 50 states. Titled A Summary
of the Status of Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems in the
United States During 1998, this CD is a follow-up to a
report the NSFC published in 1993.
Data from
local agencies and health departments are summarized by state
and then compiled into a national summary. State reports are
grouped by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency region. Both
the state and national summaries include the following information:
•
data about the local agencies contacted and which ones responded,
• new onsite system permits,
• failing systems and repair permits,
• new system installation/construction costs,
• inspection and maintenance programs, and
• licensing/certification programs.
In addition,
the CD includes a statistical comparison of data from 1993
and 1998, as well as data relevant to the jurisdiction of
maintenance/management districts, regulations enforcement,
and drinking water well testing. The appendix contains a copy
of the survey questionnaire.
Wastewater
professionals will be able to use this report as a convenient
statistical reference or for trend analysis in their state,
region, and nation.
The 1998
survey is available only on CD-ROM and requires Adobe Reader.
The CD costs $10 plus shipping. Request Item

1993 survey titled A National Small Flows Clearinghouse

Poster Depicts Small Community Wastewater Systems
The NSFC offers a new poster, Wastewater Collection and
Treatment Systems for Small Communities. This colorful
poster focuses strictly on wastewater treatment technologies
in small communities.
Constructed wetlands, rotating biological contactors, trickling
filters, drip irrigation, and alternative collection systems
are a few of the 26 technologies discussed.
One side of the poster illustrates a typical small community,
its businesses and residences, and the types of systems that
might be used. The flip side contains line drawings and brief
descriptions of each system.
The technologies described in the poster are applicable to
subdivisions, schools, churches, restaurants, parks, shopping
centers, and other small-flow situations. Systems are categorized
by collection, effluent dispersal, subsurface dispersal, pretreatment,
primary treatment, secondary treatment, advanced/tertiary
treatment, disinfection, package plants, sludge treatment/disposal,
and general wastewater treatment.
“The Wastewater Collection and Treatment Systems for
Small Communities poster is not only filled with useful
information—it’s fun,” said Harriet Emerson,
senior editor of the National Environmental Services Center.
“This is a bright, beautiful poster that everyone interested
in wastewater issues, from engineers to kids, will enjoy.”
This 18-page foldout poster is an easy to understand educational
tool for wastewater professionals working with the general
public, school children, or others who may not have a technical
background. To order, call the NSFC at (800) 624-8301 or (304)
293-4191 and request Item #WWPSPE65.
The cost is $1.25.

NSFC
Offers Poster About Onsite Technologies
If you
need to build or upgrade your onsite wastewater treatment
and disposal system, there is a product available that can
help. The National Small Flows Clearinghouse (NSFC) offers
a poster titled Onsite Wastewater Treatment for Small Communities
and Rural Areas that provides descriptions of various
onsite, conventional, and alternative wastewater treatment
and disposal technologies.
This poster
depicts typical uses of alternative wastewater systems in
a rural community setting and shows how some onsite technologies
can be clustered. Filter media systems, constructed wetlands,
drip irrigation, and mound systems are just some of the technologies
discussed.
The technologies
described in the poster are applicable to individual homes,
schools, churches, restaurants, parks, and other "small-flow"
situations. There is a section about common onsite systems,
as well as a section about systems that can be installed in
difficult site conditions, such as steep slopes, areas with
nearby lakes, or other environmentally sensitive locations.
The poster
is for anyone interested in what types of onsite wastewater
treatment technologies are available in the U.S. It may be
particularly helpful to local officials, engineers, regulators,
and individual homeowners in selecting the most suitable treatment
option for their situation.
To order

and Rural Areas, e-mail info@mail.nesc.wvu.edu
