Delineating Wastewater Contaminant Plumes from On-Site Wastewater Treatment Systems in the North Carolina Coastal Plain using Electromagnetic Induction
In North Carolina, wastewater-derived nutrients and harmful bacteria threaten public health and reduce water quality for many surface water bodies. North Carolina uses ~ 2 million on-site wastewater treatment systems, yet the state monitors [much less than] 1% of these systems annually. This is …

The Spatial Relationship Between Septic System Failure and Environmental Factors in Washington Township, Marion County, Indiana
Underground septic systems thrive or fail based on the relationship with their local environment. This paper explores ways environmental variables such as soil type, tree roots, degree of slope, and impervious surfaces affect on-site wastewater treatment systems. It also discusses the effects each …

Transport of copiotrophic bacteria in oligotrophic coarse soils: a Monte Carlo analysis
On-site wastewater treatment systems placed in coarse-grained, oligotrophic soils such as those typically found in the mountainous regions of the West are designed and installed with the assumption that most pathogenic microorganisms will not pass unaltered through an unsaturated zone located in …

Geophysical characterization of onsite wastewater treatment system effects on groundwater quality, eastern North Carolina
Onsite wastewater treatment systems (OWS) are a potential non-point source of pollution that can result in water quality degradation in groundwater and surface water. Locating OWS wastewater plumes in the subsurface often requires extensive site instrumentation and monitoring. The application of …

Evaluation of the Effects of Absorption Field Product Architecture Type on Effluent Dispersal and Soil Chemical Properties in a Profile-Limited Soil
<p>On-site wastewater treatment systems (OWTSs) are commonly used by households in areas of low population density to treat household wastewater and recycle it back to the environment. The traditional absorption field product used in OWTSs is a pipe-and-gravel architecture type, which has been used …
