Webinar Recap: An Introduction to Advanced Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems from EFCN
Watch this one-hour webinar recording from the Environmental Finance Center Network (EFCN) to learn about what innovative and advanced onsite wastewater treatment systems (OWTS) can offer when traditional septic systems fall short. Part of EFCN’s free onsite wastewater webinar offerings, the session is ideal viewing for onsite wastewater professionals, municipal/county officials, community leaders, and anyone else interested in understanding advanced onsite treatment options.
Some of the most significant benefits of innovative and advanced OWTS include higher levels of wastewater treatment, reduced nutrient loading, and the expanded array of options they open up to homeowners and communities.
Mark C. Noga, president of Knight Treatment Systems in New York, presented the session. Mr. Noga is an onsite professional with nearly 50 years of experience in the field.
Topics covered in the presentation include:
- Which site constraints make an innovative/advanced system appropriate
- How innovative/advanced systems work
- When innovative/advanced systems are most effective
- Which factors determine the correct technology to use at a given site.

Neither continuing education credit nor a certificate of attendance are available for only watching the webinar recording. Regardless, there is still plenty of information to absorb; and future webinar or in-person training opportunities from EFCN may be able to cover your continuing education needs.
