<p class="MsoNormal">Hello Rhode Island septic system professionals,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please join us for our Geomatrix webinar series beginning on January 28, 2021 to learn about Geomatrix leachfield design and installation in New England. We will give specific information on the GeoMat<sup>TM</sup> and GST<sup>TM </sup>leaching
systems in five webinars, one for each New England state (excluding Connecticut).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The GeoMat leaching system has the lowest profile of any distribution system; this thin profile maximizes contact with the soil enhancing oxygen transfer and increases plant uptake and nutrient removal. The GeoMat can preserve ground contours,
does not require stone/gravel, and can be installed on native soil (in most states) or a sand base. The GST is an adaptation on the time proven stone leaching trench in a shallower profile and smaller footprint; this system utilizes locally available material
and maximizes surface area. The GeoMat and GST are both quick and easy to install and have been in use since the early 2000s and 2010s, respectively.
