Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This valuable reference delineates the ground water quality concerns associated with the planning and usage of septic tank systems. Septic tank systems represent a significant source of ground water pollution in the United States. Since many existing systems are exceeding their design life by several-fold, the usage of synthetic organic chemicals in the household and for system cleaning is increasing, and larger-scale systems are being designed and used.

Download or read book Analysis of Septic tank Density for Three Areas in Cedar Valley Iron County Utah written by Mike Lowe and published by Utah Geological Survey. This book was released on 2000 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of septic tank soil-absorption systems on ground-water quality for three areas in Cedar Valley where septic tank soil-absorption systems are typically used for wastewater disposal. These areas have some existing development, but we anticipate that there will be additional development in the future. The Utah Geological Survey evaluated the potential impact of the projected potential development on ground-water quality based on septic-tank-system densities using a mass-balance approach similar to an analysis conducted by Hansen, Allen, and Luce for Heber and Round Valleys, Wasatch County, Utah. The selection of the evaluated areas was made in consultation with local government officials. This study may be used as a model for other evaluations of the impact of proposed subdivision site(s) on ground-water quality and allow planners to more effectively determine appropriate development densities.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excess nitrogen and bacteria concentrations in coastal waters of North Carolina have led to eutrophic conditions, fish kills, and the closure of shellfish waters. Regulatory efforts by the state to reduce nitrogen and bacteria loading to surface waters have focused on agriculture, urban runoff, and centralized wastewater treatment plant discharges without regard to septic system derived nitrogen and bacteria. The effects of septic systems on groundwater quality (nitrogen and bacteria) were evaluated in eastern North Carolina. Sixteen sites (residential yards) with septic systems in soils ranging from sand (group I) to sandy clay loam (group III) were instrumented with groundwater monitoring wells adjacent to the systems. It was determined that the soil type and separation distance had strong influences on septic system treatment efficiency. Increasing the separation distance requirements from systems to the seasonal high water table to 60 cm (from 30-45 cm) could improve the treatment efficiency of systems (4 mg/L decrease in median NH4[superscript]+-N concentrations and 65 cfu/100 mL decrease in geometric mean E. coli densities) and groundwater quality. Soil profile descriptions and groundwater level data from the sites were used to evaluate the accuracy of soil color (chroma 2 or 1 colors) for determining the depth to the seasonal high water table (SHWT) for septic system design purposes. For most sites, soil colors and the measured SHWT were within "18 cm of each other. Therefore water level data also suggest an increase (15+ cm) in separation distance to SHWT indicators would be beneficial. Using groundwater quality and flow data from the sites, nitrogen loads from septic systems to groundwater were estimated. For the Newport River watershed, the septic system nitrogen loading rate to groundwater for systems in group I and II soils (28.5 to 57.5 kg/ha/yr) were similar to the nitrogen loading rate attributed to agriculture (37.5 kg/ha/yr) in the same county, and higher than estimates of atmospheric nitrogen deposition for the area (8 to 12 kg/ha/yr). Therefore, the potential pollutant contributions from septic systems to ground and surface waters should be included in watershed-scale efforts to reduce nitrogen and bacteria loading.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fully updated and expanded into two volumes, the new edition of Groundwater Contamination explains in a comprehensive way the sources for groundwater contamination, the regulations governing it, and the technologies for abating it. Volume 1 covers all major contaminants and explains the hydrology and data used to determine the extent of pollution. Volume 2 discusses aquifer management, including technologies to control and stabilize multiple influxes into the water table. Among the many new features of this edition are a full discussion of risk assessment, the preparation of groundwater protection plans, and references linking the text to over 2,300 water-related Web sites.
