Onsite Wastewater Regulations Database
This collection can help customers seeking information for a particular state or those who want to compare regulatory structures between states. It is particularly useful to states seeking assistance in revising regulations.
The Regulations Database allows customers to review copies of onsite wastewater regulatory documents and helps the NSFC determine if it is meeting the growing and changing needs of the regulatory community. It should be noted that while information from the database is provided to customers, the NSFC does not interpret regulations for customers. For additional information, please contact your state's onsite wastewater regulatory contact. A list of contacts is on the Web at National Environmental Service Center Contacts.

Links
It is our objective to build a collection of links to sites of particular interest to Californian engineers, designers and regulators. In particular we would like to have links to every county environmental health department. We do have most counties listed. Please help us by sending information on new links or revising present links to cowaemail@gmail.com
