Septic Design: Conventional & Accepted Systems
This in-depth class is specifically tailored for regulators, authorized onsite wastewater evaluators (AOWEs), soil scientists, and other onsite wastewater professionals, providing a comprehensive understanding of the design principles and methodologies for conventional and accepted wastewater systems. The course covers conventional, chamber, EZ Flow, large diameter pipe, and panel block systems, and emphasizes the integration of site-specific conditions, environmental factors, and regulatory requirements in the design process. By combining theoretical knowledge with practical exercises, participants will gain the expertise needed to effectively design and evaluate a variety of onsite wastewater systems.
