Overview
A majority of homes in the Northeast are not connected to sewers and may never need this service given the revolution in onsite wastewater treatment. National testing protocols on the newest onsite technology are showing that nitrogen can be reduced to levels that virtually meet drinking water standards. New management programs to support these more advanced systems are also being developed. So that all environmental professionals in New England can participate in this rapidly changing industry, the New England Interstate Water Pollution Control Commission (NEIWPCC), in cooperation with Connecticut Environmental Health association (CEHA) and other leaders in the field in the Northeast, has been working on behalf of the Yankee Onsite Wastewater Association (YOWA) to bring national experts and internationally recognized scientists from the most respected institutions to New England.
Experts for the 2008 conference will focus on nitrogen and pathogen reduction systems as well as emerging strategies for management. Research, field testing and community experiences in managing new technologies will also be addressed. The Third Short Course will provide essential information for all involved with the onsite industry.
