Dix andTrina L Karolchik The USEPA National Small Flows Clearinghouse maintains a computer database that contains abstracts and indexes of domestic and foreign litera- ture dealing with innovative and alterna- tive wastewater treatment systems for small communities, the sparsely popu- lated areas of larger communities, and individual onsite systems. Both techni- cal and nontechnical reports and in- formation are aincluded. The database contains information that is applicable to: septic tanks and subsurface disposal systems; other onsite systems, including dual systems; small systems serving clusters of house- holds or commercial users, each user with average annual dry weather flows of under 25,000 gallons per day; 6-inch and smaller gravity sewers carrying partially or fully treated wastewater or carrying raw wastewater as part of limited conveyance systems that serve clusters of households and small com- mercial establishments; pressure and vacuum sewers; and other treatment and conveyance works that employ alternative technologies and that serve sparsely populated areas of larger com- munities. This new, second bibliographic vol- ume supplements the first volume, the 1979 Bibliography of Small Wastewater Flows. The 1984 volume contains infor- mation abstracts that have been added to the Clearinghouse database since the publication of the 1979 Bibliography. The indexes in this volume catalog the information contained in both the 1979 and 1984 documents and can therefore be used to search both for the pertinent entries. The first 631 entries are how- ever, included only in the first volume. The database may also be searched by computer using descriptor words, taxo- nomic designations, states' names, and/or authors' names. People inter- ested in having the database searched for them can call the Clearinghouse at its toll-free number (800) 624-8301. This Project Summary was developed by EPA's Water Engineering Research Laboratory, Cincinnati, OH, to announce key findings of the research project that is fully documented in a separate report of the same title (see Project Report ordering information at back). ------- Stephen P.
