This online engineering PDH course describes how onsite wastewater treatment systems (OWTS) have evolved throughout the years along with changing regulations. It also discusses current uses and types (performance-based vs. prescriptive requirements) of OWTS as well as the management program problems associated with such systems. Finally, this course presents initiatives taken to improve onsite system treatment and management.
Onsite wastewater treatment systems have evolved from the pit privies used widely throughout history to installations capable of producing a disinfected effluent that is fit for human consumption. Although achieving such a level of effluent quality is seldom necessary, the ability of onsite systems to remove settleable solids, floatable grease and scum, nutrients, and pathogens from wastewater discharges defines their importance in protecting human health and environmental resources. In the modern era, the typical onsite system has consisted primarily of a septic tank and a soil absorption field, also known as a subsurface wastewater infiltration system, or SWIS.
This 2 PDH online course is applicable to civil and environmental engineers, as well as design and construction personnel involved with the design and installation of onsite wastewater treatment systems.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Regulation of onsite wastewater treatment systems
- Onsite wastewater treatment system use, distribution, and failure rate
- Problems with existing onsite wastewater management programs
- Performance-based management of onsite wastewater treatment systems
- Coordinating onsite system management with watershed protection efforts
- USEPA initiatives to improve onsite system treatment and management
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review Chapter 1 of the EPA Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems Manual, EPA/625/R-00/008, "Background Use of Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems".

This online engineering course discusses the use of constructed wetlands for the purification of wastewater effluent, with emphasis on the treatment of agricultural and livestock effluent.
The constructed wetland is a shallow, earthen impoundment or group of cellular impoundments, which contain hydrophytic vegetation, designed to treat both point and nonpoint sources of water pollution. Its primary physical components include the aquatic vegetation, substrate for plant and microbial growth, the basin or cells, associated structural devices for water management, and the water that flows through the system.
In wetland ecosystems, there are biological, chemical, and physical processes that naturally clean and filter water. The waste treatment mechanisms it employs are a complex mix of physical, chemical, and biological processes. Manmade constructed wetlands are designed to mimic the processes found in a natural wetland ecosystem. They use wetland plants, soils, and microorganisms to clean water in a way that is often less expensive than more traditional water treatment systems. When properly designed, built, and operated, a constructed wetland can provide high quality water treatment, while also adding aesthetical enhancement and wildlife habitat to your site.
This 8 PDH online course is intended for environmental, civil, water resources, hydraulic, land development, and other technical personnel interested in gaining a better understanding in the use of constructed wetlands for the purposes of water purification.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:

This online engineerng PDH course presents the characteristics of force main systems, as well as force main system selection, design, operation and maintenance.
Force mains that carry sewage flows under pressure represent a special set of challenges for sewer rehabilitation. A rupture of a sewer force main could release millions of gallons of raw sewage into the environment posing significant health risks to the general public and significant impacts to the environment. As some of the newer rehabilitation technologies develop a positive track record of use in sewer force mains and confidence in their design approach and installation process strengthens, more utilities are willing to consider these technologies as potential renewal solutions.
