onsite septic systems (I/As) for meeting TMDL limits for nitrogen on </span></font>Cape
Cod. Presentations will address how these systems function and perform
as well as maintenance and management issues. Wastewater experts and engineers
with experience working on Cape Cod will share perspectives on both the
advantages and disadvantages of these systems and where and how they are most
appropriately used. In addition, the session will feature a presentation
on the Nitrex<sup>TM</sup> groundwater treatment system and examine its
effectiveness for reducing nitrogen loading in coastal areas. Research on
this system has been ongoing at the Waquoit Bay Reserve.</p>

targeting decision-makers involved in wastewater planning being organized by
the Waquoit Bay Reserve through its Coastal Training Program. The series
“<b><i><span style='font-weight:bold;font-style:italic'>Meeting
Wastewater Treatment Needs: Options, Opportunities and Lessons</span></i></b>”
is intended to examine the key technical, environmental, social and
financial issues associated with several of the technology and treatment
options that towns are likely to consider in the process of developing a
comprehensive wastewater management plan. Sessions will also provide a
forum for sharing of lessons and best practices among towns. The targeted
audience includes municipal officials, wastewater and finance committees,
planning and health boards, conservation commissions, public works staff, and
consultants. </span></font></p>
