As a current or potential designer of onsite wastewater treatment systems in Arizona, you are invited to participate in this 2-day introductory course on designing onsite wastewater treatment and dispersal systems. The course will use lecture, examples, and case studies to introduce participants to designing in Arizona using the Arizona code adopted in November 2005. Homework will be used to provide practical application of material learned.
The course will emphasize residential design of a conventional system (septic tank followed by a trench), but will discuss methods to overcome site limitations identified in the State Uniform Soil/Site Investigation Report.
