Recommendations of the On-Site Wastewater Treatment Systems Expert Panel
This report outlines recommendations from the On-Site Wastewater Treatment Systems Nitrogen Reduction Technology Expert Review Panel (OWTS Expert Panel) for on-site wastewater treatment technologies to reduce total nitrogen loads to the Chesapeake Bay Watershed.
Description
The On-Site Wastewater Treatment Systems Nitrogen Reduction Technology Expert Review Panel (OWTS Expert Panel) was convened in January 2012 to identify and recommend on-site wastewater treatment technologies to reduce total nitrogen loads to the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. The main charge for the panel was to review available science on pollutant removal performance of treatment practices to derive nutrient removal rates for individual on-site wastewater practices.
This report is intended to serve as an internal technical document for the CBPO to use to adapt the existing Chesapeake Bay Model and BMP crediting program. The report was approved by the Water Quality Goal Implementation Team on July 14, 2014.
