Ocean outfalls involve discharging treated wastewater to the ocean through outfall pipes. This symposium will provide information on how ocean outfalls work and the implications of potentially using them as a wastewater management strategy. Information on the history of outfalls, federal and state regulations, environmental impacts, as well as policy, planning and legal issues will be presented, along with case studies.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><span style='font-size:11.5pt;font-family:TTE51CDB88T00'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><span style='font-size:11.5pt;font-family:TTE51CDB88T00'>The symposium is part of an ongoing series of wastewater workshops organized and delivered through the Waquoit Bay Reserve Coastal Training Program (CTP).
