Wastewater and sludge generators are often forced to use only conventional waste treatment and disposal technology because of difficulties in understanding policies and procedures for the evaluation and approval of land treatment systems. The program presented in this document and the series of general technical guidelines provide assistance with policies and procedures, regulatory requirements, advisory services, design procedures and technical evaluation of land treatment systems.
General technical guidelines have been developed for the following three categories of land treatment systems:
These three topics have been selected because of existing technical knowledge, regulatory requirements, and perception that a need exists for a better public understanding of these waste treatment categories. Municipal or sewage sludges and wastewaters are given substantial attention in the documents; however the modifications to address industrial wastewaters and sludges are also included.
