Tagging onto the presentation, "Soil as a Treatment Media," this session expands on the understanding of what happens to wastewater as it passes through the soil. A more in-depth look at how wastewater moves and those factors that may impact how and where it moves will be analyzed. We will also evaluate different geological and outside forces that will impact the movement and treatment of wastewater.
After this session, attendees will be able to:
1. Describe how wastewater travels through the soil.
2. Evaluate the impact of the different formations and geological foundations will have on wastewater movement.
3. Apply this knowledge to investigations on soil treatment areas.
4. Describe the importance of identifying soil horizons and the impact of impermeable layers to the flow of wastewater.
Ideal Audience: Regulators, designers, installers and inspectors of onsite wastewater treatment systems.
