Constructed Wetlands for On-site Wastewater Treatment

 Larry Hepner

Delaware Valley College




The Department of Environmental Protection funded a study at Delaware Valley College to evaluate new small flow technologies for on-site wastewater treatment. This presentation will briefly review those technologies focusing especially on the constructed wetland systems. System design, operation, and treatment effectiveness will be discussed.

He has extensive experience in production agriculture, having served as General Manager of Farm Operations for the College’s crop and livestock operations on approximately 600 acres. His research has involved the resources utilized by both the agricultural sectors and urban sectors and how there can be a synergistic affect in resource use at the ag-urban interface.
