Description: National Small Flows Clearinghouse Product FMVTMG01 Wastewater Management in Unswered Areas University of Wisconsin-Madison, Small Scale Waste Management Program This public information video begins by describing the conventional septic tank/soil absorption system (ST/SAS) and main reason for failure-using sites not conducive to onsite treatment by conventional means. The video discusses alternatives to ST/SAS, such as sand mounds, recirculating sand filters, and cluster soil absorption systems. Topics include onsite system management, site evaluations, water conservation, and inspection. The video presents six case studies, explaining how a family of six cut water use by 71 percent; how Oregon passed a statewide site evaluation and permit program that led to acceptance of experimental systems; and how Stinson Beach, California, formed an onsite management program to inspect systems regularly, monitor nearby waterways, review plans, and work with homeowners faced with failing systems.
