Subsurface disposal of domestic septic effluent in a haploxeralf soil in Southwestern Oregon

Creator:: Silvernale, Alexandra
Abstract:: Experimental Drainfields: Standard subsurface sewage disposal systems, gravity loaded and 60 cm deep on slopes above 15% did not show signs of effluent surfacing after 14 months of operation. However, subsurface signs of failure were found on both the experimental sites and on older drainfields established in identical soils. Evidence...
