Event: Tech 110: Introduction to Advanced Pretreatment Technologies - Mills River
When: Nov. 11, 2009, 8:30 AM
Workshop Pretreatment technologies are quickly becoming the norm for new development. Most of the sites with soils best suited for conventional systems have already been developed, so sites with marginal soils are being considered more and more for new development. Furthermore, land prices and development pressure will continue to force us to design more efficient and cost-effective wastewater treatment. In this course, you will learn about pretreatment system components designed to reduce wastewater strength and nutrient levels. You will understand how the components work and the criteria for selecting pretreatment technologies. During the field component we will visit several operating systems.

Event: Tech 200: Septic System Options for Difficult Sites - Raleigh
When: Nov. 11, 2009, 8:30 AM
Seminar This two-day short course will help health specialists, on-site consultants, developers, installers, community leaders and landowners learn how to identify the correct solutions to match with difficult site conditions. You will learn how to identify the most appropirate technologies and testing methods to helpp find solutions for difficult sites. Bring your difficult site description to class, and we will work as a group to help you solve it. 1. Learn how to dissect and understand limitations due to landscape position or topography, soil morphology, soil wetness, soil depth, restrictive horizons, limited space, and horizontal setbacks. 2. Identify possible options for each of these different types of site and soil limitations. 3. Learn from small group exercises and case studies about real-life experiences of others who have dealt successfully with difficult sites.
