On-Site Treatment and Disposal of Residential Wastewaters on Mined Lands | The development of Southwest Virginia’s coal mining
region is limited by a lack of building sites. Much of
the land in this region consists of steep slopes with
shallow soils that are poorly suited to residential
development. In recent years, widespread surface
coal mining has created landforms that are favorably
located and configured to support residential housing.
However, because such sites are commonly located
beyond the extent of public sewers, developing them
requires a means for on-site wastewater treatment and
dispersal. This publication is written for homeowners,
homebuilders, land developers, public officials, and
others who may have an interest in building residential
housing or other types of development on mined
lands that are not accessible to public sewers.

Decentralized Small Community Wastewater Collection Systems | Wastewater is a significant source of carbon, sediment,
nutrients, pathogens, and other potential pollutants.
Reducing the quantity of these contaminants before
they are discharged to either groundwater or surface
water is essential to preserve or enhance water quality
in receiving waters. This is accomplished through the
installation of wastewater treatment and collection systems.
The form of these systems can vary substantially.
In Virginia, they range in size from 5,000 to 50,000
gallons per day; 49 percent are public systems and the
remainder are private (Parten 2008). |

Measuring Saturated Hydraulic Conductivity in Soil | The purpose of this document is to provide guidance
on measuring water movement through in situ
saturated soil (saturated hydraulic conductivity, or
Ksat) as it relates to dispersal and treatment of on-site
sewage (wastewater) through an on-site wastewater
dispersal area |
