Wastewater and Onsite Systems Programs
![](images/mainpgs/NDWC_NODP_home.jpg)
The National Onsite Demonstration Program (NODP)
The 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.
