Onsite wastewater treatment systems collect, treat, and release about 4 billion gallons of treated effluent per day from an estimated 26 million homes, businesses, and recreational facilities nationwide (U.S. Census Bureau, 1997). These systems include treatment units for both individual buildings and small clusters of buildings connected to a common treatment system.
This 4-hour online course presents information regarding the design flows to be used for residential and commercial developments. It also presents information on the quality of this wastewater. The fate of the pollutants in effluent is also presented. The material for this course is taken from a recently published EPA document on Onsite Wastewater Treatment. The course also includes a very extensive reference section for use by the student.
There will be a multiple-choice quiz at the end of this course.
