[Onsite Wastewater Treatment System]

For wastewater practitioners considering a Spring 2021 training class: NEOWTP is offering OWT 192: Recent Advances in Onsite Wastewater Research on March 24, 2021.  This popular class will present new practical OWTS research findings developed by the Laboratory for Soil Ecology and Microbiology (LSEM) at URI in an interactive, engaging manner. Course content has been designed to be of interest to installers, maintenance professionals, system designers, municipal officials and members of regulatory agencies.  Participants will engage in activities to deepen their understanding of a variety of topics,  (e.g., nitrogen dynamics in conventional and advanced N-removal technologies, greenhouse gas emissions from OWTS, emerging contaminants and their treatment in OWTS, and the impact of climate variability on OWTS performance), get practice analyzing and understanding data, and participate in discussions about how this research influences their everyday practices. This course is being offered online.

NEOWTP must meet a minimum  number of registrants to run each class, and classes without enough registrants will be cancelled.

Full class description is below.

OWT 192:  Recent Advances in Onsite Wastewater Research
Registrants will learn about new practical OWTS research findings developed by the Laboratory for Soil Ecology and Microbiology (LSEM) at URI. This interactive course will cover a variety of topics, including: nitrogen dynamics in conventional and advanced N-removal technologies, greenhouse gas emissions from OWTS, emerging contaminants and their treatment in OWTS, and the impact of climate variability on OWTS performance. Additionally, we will discuss emerging soil treatment area (drainfield) options and the importance and reliability of rapid field tests to help us monitor wastewater characteristics and performance in systems in real time. Course content has been designed to be of interest to installers, maintenance professionals, system designers, municipal officials and members of regulatory agencies. Attendees will leave this course with a clear understanding of the current OWTS research being done in the New England region, understand the best practices to mitigate human and environmental problems stemming from poorly designed or functioning OWTS, and understand the importance of sustainable OWTS design and performance as we move into the future. Instructors: Alissa Cox (NEOWTP), Bianca Ross (US EPA) and Sara Wigginton (Geomatrix Systems LLC).
