Evaluating the performance of on-site sewage disposal systems / by: D.H. Waller and J.D. Mooers.: NH17-352/1998E-PDF
"On-site sewage disposal systems serve a significant proportion of the population of Canada. These systems provide a cost-effective alternative to central systems when they function properly. But they can and do malfunction, resulting in surface contamination where the soil system is unable to accept the septic tank effluent, or ground water contamination where the local soil system does not provide adequate treatment. Officials concerned with the use of and effects of these systems need to know if existing systems are functioning satisfactorily. Where the possibility of problems exists, sanitary surveys are conducted. These include site examinations, interviews, and dye tests"--Introduction.
