Hazel Run: Upgrading Your Wastewater Treatment: You Have Choices

Note to Reviewers: I conducted the first portion of this presentation to help community members understand that Hazel Run has a number of options for wastewater treatment, the difference between their current non-compliant systems and compliant septic systems, and the need for systems management. Dan Wheeler from the Onsite Sewage Treatment Program was the presenter for the second portion of this slide set.
