The new manual provides the latest information about the management, siting, design, installation, maintenance, monitoring, and replacement of decentralized wastewater systems (commonly known as septic systems). New emphasis is placed on the use of a performance- based approach, site evaluation procedures, and treatment system selection. Fact sheets on alternative technologies are also included.
