The EPA Office of Wastewater Management has
recently expanded its "Handbook for Managing
Onsite and Clustered (Decentralized) Wastewater
Treatment Systems" with the addition of an
"E-Handbook." The E-Handbook features
resource guides containing detailed information
on the 13 management program elements
featured in the existing Handbook:
  > Public education
  I Planning
  I Performance
  I Site evaluation
  I Design
  I Construction/installation
  I Operation/maintenance
  I Inspections/monitoring
  I Residuals management
  I Training/certification
  I Financial assistance
  I Inventory/recordkeeping
  ) Corrective actions and enforcement

The E-Handbook focuses on individual and
clustered wastewater systems that discharge
to the soil, but the information can also
be applied to National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System-permitted surface-
discharging systems. The handbook is
intended for health departments, wastewater
management entities, local governments,
and others involved in managing multiple
individual or clustered treatment systems. Each
guide contains detailed information on each
program element and links to other resources,
case studies, and examples of successful
management programs.
