Septic tank system for on-site wastewater treatment survey

The septic tank system for on-site wastewater treatment survey is part of a PhD project. This survey is stage one of the project; the second stage of the project will involve a small sample of septic tank sites where effluent and soils will be analysed. The survey contains an option for volunteering for the second stage.
