Wastewater and Onsite Systems
The National Onsite Demonstration Program (NODP) was formed to encourage the use of alternative, onsite and wastewater treatment technologies. The program helped to protect public health, ensure water quality, and sustain the environment in many small and rural communities. The NESC maintains much of NODP's information within it's website and databases.
