Abstract
In many suburban areas in the United States, innovative onsite wastewater treatment technologies are often the most cost-effective solution when poor soil conditions exist. In many situations, the use of aerobic treatment units with drip or spray effluent dispersement is the most cost effective onsite wastewater treatment solution. Although the science and engineering of this system concept is well-established, the interpretation of this science, as embodied in state and local codes, varies significantly. The consequences of these variations in code result in suburban areas where development is flourishing while in other suburban areas development is limited. This paper compares state onsite waste water code regulations for North Carolina, Texas, Virginia, Tennessee, and Pennsylvania.
