Research
Research is a critical part of the Onsite Sewage Treatment Program. The research program involves testing conventional and alternative technology. This knowledge is then integrated into the entire program.
Current Research
Anoka Sand Plain Training
Demonstration Sites In addition to our research on technologies, we have partnered with many local government units to study the interaction of soils and landscape-scale hydrology and the design considerations
