DESIGN OF ONSITE AND DECENTRALIZED
WASTEWATER SYSTEMS I
Michigan Onsite Wastewater Training and Education Center
12 Mile Road at Meadowbrook in Novi

October 1 & 2, 2002

This is a new basic class for engineers and others who wish to be involved in the design of onsite and decentralized systems and for regulators who are called on to evaluate and approve designs for alternative systems. It will include a brief discussion of wastewater treatment by soils but will stress design of alternative systems for problem sites. Topics will include designs using mounds, at-grade systems, sand filters, alternative media filters, aerobic treatment units and constructed wetlands.

Instructors: Ted Loudon and Del Mokma, Michigan State University; Larry Stephens, Stephens Consulting Service; Ron Lindsay and/or Dan Milan, Milan Engineered Systems.
