SITE FEASIBILITY AND SELECTION STUDIES |
 Utilizing
existing soils and hydrogeological data, Earth Data Incorporated
evaluates sites for potential wastewater disposal options including
subsurface trench systems, sand mounds, bermed infiltration ponds,
marsh pond systems, and rapid infiltration systems.

| Preliminary field data is then collected to evaluate all feasible wastewater disposal options in order to determine the best solution to meet both the client's needs and regulatory requirements. Data collected during the site feasibility phase can be used to assist in preliminary subdivision layouts and to plan detailed soil investigations. |
