Demonstration Projects for West Virginia
- Title: West Virginia, Monongalia County: Alternative Technologies, West Virginia
Description: In this project, 6 alternative technologies were installed in a county park including the following treatment: a recirculating sand filter, constructed wetlands, a home aerobic unit and a disk filter. Alternative soil-dispersal systems included gravelless trenches, contour trenches, chambers, drip irrigation, and low-pressure pipe. The primary purpose of these installations is for public education, with prominent displays for the public and frequent use for students and practioners during training programs.

- Title: West Virginia, Mud River, Lincoln County: Management Program, West Virginia
Description: Through widespread use of volunteer sampling, this project seeks to identify hot spots, using fecal-source typing to distinguish onsite septic system inputs from wildlife and other sources. This project will also develop onsite wastewater treatment and management programs to address contamination of the Mud River. This approach could obviate the need for a formal TMDL or provide a model for how onsite systems can be managed in the context of a TMDL.

- Title: West Virginia, Shepherdstown: Alternative Technologies, West Virginia
Description: This project seeks to design and install a wastewater system with alternative technologies for a new research and office building to prevent nutrient and fecal contamination of an existing artesian well. The project will serve as a demonstration site and for public education. Two secondary treatment technologies were used: a peat filter and a recirculating sand filter. A real-time monitoring system is being used to monitor the two systems.
