💧 Managerial & Administrative Aspects of Decentralized Community Wastewater Systems (VT)
2023-09-20 18:00 - 20:00 | Online
REGISTER HERE

Development of a decentralized community wastewater solution involves a significant amount of technical work by hydrogeologists, engineers, and environmental specialists to determine the overall layout and physical components of such a system. Small communities tend to rely heavily on consultants to guide them through the steps in this process, but the community should also be active in many of the non-technical actions and decisions required – such as choosing a management structure, understanding the permit conditions to be followed, and negotiations for land or easements. This session will provide a general overview of the steps and responsibilities when developing or operating a community wastewater system, administrative aspects of the Vermont Indirect Discharge Program, and will provide some lessons learned in the land acquisition process for infrastructure projects.

This training is intended for active and potential board members, volunteer “task force” members, managers, and administrative staff, and wastewater operators.

A well-maintained system is crucial to protecting your drinking water quality and the surrounding environment. Surveys have shown that many of us know little about septic systems. Do you know where your septic system is located? Should you be concerned with how often your septic tank is pumped out? Can your septic system affect the water quality of your well? Do you know how to maintain a healthy septic system?

This webinar will cover basics of wastewater biology, soils, components of a conventional system, operation & maintenance and innovative/alternative systems. There will be time at the end of the webinar for questions.
