[Greenbuilding] New approaches to Septic?

[Ron Cascio]

Where are you Bill? We have new nutrient treatment WW systems here in 
Maryland, which are manditory in the Chesapeake Bay Critical Area (1000' 
from any tidal water body). I'm not real familiar with them, but might want 
to check MDE (Md. Dept. of Environment) website.
