Numerous alternative treatment technologies are now approved for use in Massachusetts. These include recirculating sand filters (RSF’s), trickling filters (including proprietary technologies such as Bioclere, Waterloo Biofilter, SeptiTech, Orenco), aerobic units (such as Jet, Singulair), Fixed Activated Sludge Treatment (FAST), and sequencing batch reactors (Amphidrome, Chromaglass). Filtration, ultraviolet disinfection, and drip irrigation and other alternative discharge approaches are also now used to solve wastewater problems. For more information, contact George Heufelder at the Barnstable County Department of Health and the Environment/ Massachusetts Alternative Septic System Test Center (MASSTC) at Superior Courthouse, Route 6A, Barnstable, MA 02630. The Small Flows Clearinghouse also has extensive information about alternative systems. Their web site is www.nsfc.wvu.edu.
