Past Events

  1. Septic System Siting and Seasonal Water Tables

    Jul 24, 2018 (All day)

    Green and Sustainable Wastewater Treatmenet Systems begin with an understanding of the soil natural resources.  Ohio and much of the corn belt have shallow soils to seasonal water tables making it important to carefully evaluate the site to protect groundwater and public health.

  2. Ohio Septic System Short Course

    May 24, 2018 (All day)

       Septic Systems Sewage disposal historical background • Environmental Protection Agency and Ohio perspectives What a basic septic system is composed of and how it works Septic tank design and how they work Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems System design Siting Construction Alternative Treatment Technologies Mound systems Sand bioreactor systems (aka sand filter systems) Media filters – peat, textile System Management System inspections Regular maintenance Troubleshooting

  3. Wastewater Treatment Systems for Wet, Shallow Soils

    Dec 7, 2017 (All day)

    Green & Sustainable Wastewater Treatment ~ Systems for Wet, Shallow Soils ~ Dr. Karen Mancl and Dr. Brian Slater Dec. 7, 2017 Ohio 4-H Center, OSU Campus, 2201 Fred Taylor Dr. Columbus, Ohio 43210 Approved for 6 hours continuing education credit for sanitarians and for septic system contractors, pumpers and service providers.

  4. Low Cost Treatment of Meat Processing Wastewater

    Sep 28, 2017 (All day)

    Over $10 million dollars have been saved, by an Ohio meat processor, by treating their wastewater in a new way. A sand bioreactor system was developed based on research conducted at The Ohio State University. This university-industry partnership has saved jobs, money, and is protecting the environment with effluents exceeding the quality of conventional treatment systems.
