Project Title:  Modeling Watershed Scale Impacts of Onsite Wastewater Systems
Project Directors:  John McCray (CSM), Eileen Poeter (CSM), Kyle Murray (UTSA), David Morgan (USGS), M. Evans (Univ. of Rhode Island)
Project Summary:   The primary objective of this research project is to develop a user-friendly Guidance Document for the selection and application of watershed modeling tools for simulating impacts of onsite-wastewater pollutants at the watershed scale. We will develop calibrated models for three watersheds that are thought to be potentially impacted from decentralized wastewater treatment systems (DWTS). These watersheds vary in size and have different problems and target contaminants. Each of these three watersheds is expected to be undergoing TMDL application in the next 3 to 5 years.
