2015 Spring Note - Missouri Smallflows Organization

2015 Spring Note
MSO Members,
We hope that your spring season is off to a great start in between the spring rains. MSO had a
great Conference and Trade Show in Lake Ozark this past January. Great speakers including
Sara Heger, Claude Goguen, and many more made the seminars interesting and fun. Mark your
calendars for the 2016 Conference on January 19 & 20 with the Pre-Conference on January 18.
The MSO Board of Directors is happy to announce that the MSO Show will be returning to the
Holiday Inn in Columbia, Missouri. We are very excited about this change and hope you will join
us in January.
In an attempt to help our organization reach more goals, we are re-organizing our membership
fee structure. We are keeping the MSO membership at the $75 level but now if you want to
become a member of NOWRA, it will cost an additional $25. One of the other changes we are
implementing is when you renew your membership. Currently, it is the same for everyone from
January 1 – December 31. Now we will make Annual Membership based on when you
purchased it. For example, if you bought your membership on April 1, 2015, then it would last
until April 1, 2016. This way you have the full membership benefits for the entire year you are
paying for.
In addition to our attempt to bring you more benefits, we would like to hear from you. We have
developed a survey to get an idea of what you would like us to provide as an organization.
Please click on this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/SNGLJR7 or fill out the paper copy
that you received with your newsletter. We appreciate you taking 5 minutes to help us find out
what you need!
This newsletter is packed with a lot of information. All of our conference sponsors are
recognized in this edition. Be sure to look them up if you made a new contact at the conference.
We interviewed one of our long-time members, Dave Dittmer. He gave an overview of his
company and why he thinks it’s important to be a part of MSO. Finally, there is a lot of
information from NOWRA. They have been up to some exciting stuff.
Thank you, as always, for continuing to support our organization. May there be dry soils for you
all to get your work done.
Michael Bowers, President and Tammy Trantham, Executive Director

Congratulations to our 2015 Daryel Brock Memorial Scholarship
Recipients
The Daryel Brock Memorial Scholarship program was developed to remember a man who dedicated
much of his life to family and progressing the wastewater goals of Missouri. Daryel and his staff
literally “wrote the book” when it came to onsite wastewater for the State of Missouri. In addition, he
was a very big proponent of installer education. He was a member of MSO and saw MSO as a way
to continue that education of installers.
This year MSO is proud to announce two $500 scholarship recipients:
Frederick Bond, son of William Bond; and
Valerie Schlotzhauer, daughter of Warren Schlotzhauer.
Frederick Bond will be pursuing a degree at Southeast Missouri State University in Mathematics and
Secondary Education. Frederick comes with the highest recommendations from his teachers.
Congratulations Frederick Bond!
Valerie Schlotzhauer will be attending University of Missouri, Columbia, majoring in Special
Education and Child Development and Education. She is motivated to work with elementary
students. Congratulations to Valerie Schlotzhauer!

Long-time MSO Member: Dave Dittmer
Dave Dittmer has been a long-time member of MSO and
supporter of the organization. Every year he renews his
membership because he believes it is important to support
the association and its goals. Here is a quick interview on
what Dave has been up to and a little advice:
Q: How did you first get involved in installing onsite
wastewater systems?
Dittmer: I started this business in 1959. My dad did ditch work and I worked on the septic
systems. Septic systems in those days were a 55-gallon barrel and 25 feet of lateral line, add
another barrel and the end with holes punched in it and gravel around it. It worked for homes
around the lake until people retired and started living there full-time. This was part of the reason
we started installing higher quality systems. Now, it’s a family business. Matthew and Patrick,
my sons help with the business and now one of my grandson’s does too.
Q: How has your company diversified to stay afloat?
Dittmer: Doing different kinds of dirt work and maintenance on systems helps pay the bills
but also helps you pay a half-way decent wage. Matthew does exceptionally well solving
problems for failing systems and making them work. The Dresden job for the school was a
recirculating sand filter to drip dispersal. We put in some recirculating sand filter systems, so we
train people on how to maintain those systems.

Q: How long have you been a member of MSO and why is it important to be a member of
MSO?
Dittmer: I served on the Board of Directors for 10 years so I’ve been a member longer. I think
it’s important to be a part of a state association. It promotes the industry.
Q: Is there a certain benefit you would like to MSO provides its members?
Dittmer: Well, one of the big things for small business owners now is insurance. I’m a
member of LICA to use liability and machinery insurance. Insurance options would help the
membership save some money.
Q: What was one of the challenges when you were on the Board of Directors for MSO?
Dittmer: One of the big things was that no one would come to the Board Meetings. So I
rounded up the members for the meetings in Jefferson City and Boonville back in the day. I didn’t
miss very many of them.
Q: Why are continuing education classes important?
Dittmer: Because. If a person is interested enough in what he is doing, he’ll do classes. Some
say once you own a backhoe you’re an automatic septic installer. Since most of the counties have
their own inspection that makes a big different. The continuing education you’d be surprised the
stuff you learn. It makes that license important to you because you had to do something to hang
onto it. As these systems get more and more complicated, it makes it even more important.

Minutes of March 17, 2015
ONSITE WASTEWATER STAKEHOLDER MEETING
State Public Health Lab
Jefferson City, Missouri
Welcome and introductions
Mindy Laughlin, the meeting facilitator from DHSS, introduced herself and gave a brief history
regarding her work with DHSS. She explained the objective of the meeting as well as her role as
facilitator. She asked each attendee to introduce themselves before they speak so everyone could
know who they were. DHSS staff introduced themselves and explained their role with the
department. There were 40 stakeholders present.
Operation & Maintenance Guidelines for Onsite and Cluster (Decentralized) Wastewater
Systems
Jim Gaughan gave a presentation on the current status of the O&M Guidelines and explained the
purpose of the manual. He gave a brief summary of how the document is laid out and how to use it.
Jim also commented that the Onsite Wastewater Treatment Program was working to break the
manual down into chapters that would allow users to print chapters as needed rather than the whole
document.
Some attendees stated they have used the document and found it helpful. A few local authorities
have included information about the manual to their citizens.
Onsite System Inspections/Evaluations for Real Estate Purposes
Eric Folks updated stakeholders on the possible changes that the Onsite Program is looking to
8

make with the inspection/evaluation procedures. He explained the need for the changes and how
the proposed changes would be beneficial to human health, the environment, and new buyers. He
also commented how the State Public Health Lab (SPHL) was working to provide reports of water
samples in a more expedient way. The goal for the lab was to have this in effect by the end of
January 2016.
Stakeholders commented about the need to always run water to check for discharge pipes. One
comment was made to get rid of evaluations all together. Some would like to see a statement about
how the soil survey report is not as comprehensive as a soil morphology report. There were no
objections to the idea of evaluations becoming more stringent.
Bacterial Testing of Drinking Water
This presentation was given by Pat Shannon of the SPHL. He presented information that was
useful to licensed private inspectors and regulators. He also gave sampling statistics that compared
water sample results to the type of wastewater system serving the property. Data proved that there
is a continuing need to conduct water sampling on properties that are served with an onsite system.
Following the presentation, stakeholders took a short break.
Legislation
Eric Folks discussed House Bill 367. He gave a brief overview of the bill and reported the bill has
been read twice, but has not moved forward. He then presented concerns that the Onsite Program
had with the proposal. Some comments from the group included:
 Why was this introduced?
 Passing this bill could cause many bigger problems in the future.
 Could DHSS notify the LPHAs if there is a hearing?

Funding Assistance/DNR Update
Charles Harwood, a soil scientist with the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR),
talked about various issues within the department. His first topic was in regards to the types of
funding the department had for citizens that need to repair or replace their onsite system. He made
comments about how the criteria for the funds are now less stringent than before. The new Pump
and Haul Permit was discussed in great detail by Charles and stakeholders. He made it clear that
the new MDNR permits discussed were only for systems that do not fall under the DHSS
jurisdiction. Another topic discussed was systems that are looking to land apply their effluent onto
their own property due to new ammonia limits set by the EPA. Two forms of discharge mentioned
were spray irrigation and subsurface drip irrigation.
Inventory of Wastewater Systems Throughout Missouri
Jim Gaughan presented the last topic on the agenda. State and local agencies would benefit from
knowing the number, type, location, age, and status of systems within the state. This is not going to
be an easy task and will need cooperation from all departments involved in the wastewater
permitting process to provide information. Jim summarized the limited data available and gave
examples of ways to gather data.
General Discussion/Stakeholder Topics
1. Why does DHSS only allow engineers to
design onsite systems? The question was
referring to architects being allowed to
design systems since architects and
engineers are governed by the same board.
2. Are county sanitarians required to act on
known failed systems?
3. Does the State govern county sanitarian’s
conflict of interest? This question was broke
down further with an example of a county
sanitarian also being a licensed Onsite
Wastewater Treatment System
4. Professional.
5. Can there be a change in the variance rule
for lots platted after January, 1996 to allow
for owners that are “consolidating lots” to be
eligible for variances since they are making
the lots bigger? Local Planning and Zoning
are requiring landowners to consolidate lots
before building which nullifies any variance
requests.
6. A suggestion was made to schedule the
Stakeholders Meeting with the MSO
Conference in the future.

Written Testimony Submitted for the Record By: Tom Fritts, Past President
National Onsite Wastewater Recycling Association
1199 N. Fairfax Street, Suite 410, Alexandria, VA 22314 www.nowra.org
tom@residentialsewage.com
Congresswoman, Congressmen, Distinguished members of the committee my name is Tom Fritts
and I am the Vice President of Residential Sewage Treatment Company of Grandview Missouri,
near Kansas City. I am also the past president of the National Onsite Wastewater Recycling
Association. I am honored to speak to you today on behalf of the onsite wastewater industry. The
purpose of my testimony is to request increased funding for our industry from the Environmental
Protection Agency, specifically from the Clean Water State Revolving Fund Program and from the
EPA Office of Wastewater.
I would first like to describe what the onsite industry is. It is the segment of the wastewater industry
which provides sewage treatment when there is no conventional sewer available to do so. While
there are slight differences in definition, onsite systems are also called decentralized or distributed
wastewater treatment systems. The most widely known onsite systems within our industry are
septic tanks; however, it encompasses a wide range of technologies which are designed to serve
individual homes, a cluster of homes, a subdivision or small community, as well as commercial and
industrial complexes.
Regardless of the type of system, they all share a common trait. They take advantage of the vast
capacity of soil to remove or transform pollutants that are in the effluent as it percolates through the
soil thereby avoiding point discharges to surface waters and maintaining the quality and quantity of
our groundwater.
By definition, onsite wastewater management systems are a ‘green technology’ because treated
effluent recharges local aquifers. A new innovation in decentralized wastewater management is the
reuse or recycling of treated effluent. With appropriate safeguards, local regulations or bylaws may
allow the treated water to be used for irrigation, toilet and urinal flushing or make-up water for
commercial boilers. These applications reduce the demand for potable water and aid in the
protection and preservation of the available water sources.
Ours is a growing and evolving industry supported by small businesses across the country. In fact,
our organization estimates that the onsite wastewater
industry employs as many as 150,000 people, virtually all of whom work for small businesses in the
private sector. These include not only the companies which
manufacture the components of the onsite system, but also the engineers who design the systems
and the contractors who install, operate, and maintain them.

More than 65 years ago, my father-in-law who started the family business (which is now in the 3rd
generation) would talk about installers who would dig septic tank excavations with a shovel. Most
anyone with a strong back could be in the business. Today it takes someone with a strong mind, an
entrepreneurial spirit and a knack for running a small business.
In my lifetime I have seen the humble back yard septic tank evolve into a range of sophisticated
wastewater treatment solutions that lets families live wherever they want and lets businesses locate
nearby to serve them, and even provides entire communities with options for treating wastewater so
they don’t have to automatically default to an expensive and disruptive sewer project.
Onsite and decentralized wastewater treatment systems are an effective solution to protecting water
quality. They are a valuable component of watershed management plans and sustainable
development programs. Onsite and decentralized wastewater treatment systems can benefit both
urban and rural areas by providing affordable solutions and reducing risk to the environment in
unusual situations and difficult locations. These systems can provide optimal water management to
homes, businesses and industrial centers. Their recycling capability can support water resource
management goals in many arid areas of the country.
Their use can support municipal wastewater treatment infrastructure by providing options for
pretreatment and sewer mining and provide an alternative when centralized plants have reached or
exceeded capacity. Virtually any treatment technology employed in a centralized sewage treatment
plan can be found in onsite wastewater treatment systems. In fact onsite systems can be designed
to provide equal or better levels of treatment as compared to conventional sewage treatment plants.
For smaller communities, decentralized and onsite systems can usually be built and maintained for
less money than a centralized sewage treatment facility. And for larger utilities, decentralized
systems (which they refer to as distributed systems) are an option which can help to offset the
exponential increases in capital expenditures faced by utilities in the next two decades as they face
replacement of aging infrastructure. As society demands more efficient use of financial resources
and sustainable environmental wastewater management, the use of managed decentralized
wastewater treatment systems can be an effective solution which satisfies both imperatives
There is one other very important benefit…they safely help replenish our dwindling underground
aquifers through recharge of treated water onsite. While homeowners and many centralized sewage
treatment systems draw their
drinking water from underground aquifers, only onsite systems are designed to replenish aquifers.
Most centralized sewage treatment systems discharge their treated water directly to rivers or
streams where it ultimately ends up in an ocean.
Nearly 85 million Americans – more than 25% of the country - are being served by the onsite
industry and that number is growing. Because of this, technology has exploded. It sometimes
reminds me of the computer industry of 30 years ago. There are a many new technologies which
have come online which treat wastewater in ways which are cheaper and more efficient and
effective.
In fact, nearly two decades ago the Environmental Protection Agency endorsed onsite wastewater
systems. Their 1997 Report to Congress on Use of Decentralized Wastewater Treatment Systems
stated that this technology is a viable solution to treating and dispersing wastewater.
15
Missouri Smallflows

Onsite wastewater treatment systems are a permanent part of our nation’s wastewater
infrastructure which serves more than 25% of our country. Sadly, our industry faces myriad
challenges which have been largely ignored by the EPA. Among these challenges are homeowner
education, technical support, lack of support for research, replacement of failing systems and
professional education.
Congressman Cole I know that as an enrolled member of the Chickasaw Nation you are committed
to serving the Native Americans living in Oklahoma and all across our great nation. The onsite
industry can help increase business opportunities in Indian country, grow their communities and
increase tribal economic development. NOWRA is proud to have recently trained more than 300
tribal community professionals through Rose State College in Oklahoma on
septic systems and how to run a septic system business.
Congressman Calvert as a lifelong resident of Riverside County, you are experiencing first hand
the dire issue of water depletion from our aquifers. Onsite systems such as septic tanks treat
wastewater and then disperse it back into the soil where it recharges the aquifers. Most of the
water from municipal treatment plants ends up in rivers where it flows to the oceans to become
saltwater. Using US Census numbers from 2010 it can be estimated that onsite wastewater
systems discharge an average of 9.9 billion gallons of water back to the soil on a daily basis. That
is more than 3.5 trillion gallons per year.
If I have convinced you that we are an important part of the solution to aquifer depletion, small
business growth and infrastructure development I’m sure you are curious to hear how much money
we want…We don’t want any…. At least we don’t want any new money.
We have two requests. Currently more than 99.5% of the EPA Clean Water State
Revolving Fund goes to municipal wastewater and stormwater projects. Less than ½ of 1% goes to
onsite wastewater activities – in spite of the fact that more
than 25% of the country is served by onsite systems. This pattern of funding has been consistent
all the way back to the start of SRF funding in the early 1990s. We believe it is fundamentally unfair
that for more than 2 decades, the 85 million taxpayers who use onsite systems have been
subsidizing the government-owned treatment plants that serve the rest of the country.
We request that for the current fiscal year – as well as future years -- that at least
20% of EPA’s annual contribution to the Clean Water State Revolving Fund be specifically
designated to supporting the use of onsite and decentralized wastewater treatment systems and
the 85 million taxpayers who use them. We further request that those funds be designated for
disbursement and distribution by the authority in each state which has direct regulatory oversight
and enforcement authority over onsite wastewater treatment plants.
Secondly, EPA has exactly one full-time employee (FTE) who focuses on Decentralized
Wastewater. We would like to see at least 20% of the Office of Wastewater’s funding be dedicated
to increasing staffing and resources for the Office of Decentralized Wastewater. Among the
specific requests:
• Place at least one FTE in each EPA regional office to support state and regional initiatives
involving decentralized wastewater treatment.
• Add at least one “circuit rider” with expertise in decentralized wastewater
to each region to support decentralized wastewater project planning and implementation,
regardless of the funding source (i.e. USDA, HUD, etc.)
• Designate a specialist in the EPA Clean Water State Revolving Fund Branch to assist state
16
Missouri Smallflows
www.mosmallflows.org
funding authorities in revising policies and project scoring systems to ensure fair inclusion of onsite/
decentralized systems.
• Significantly expand EPA’s training of industry professionals through
grants to entities which exclusively specialize in decentralized training.
• Provide increased direct financial support to the National Environmental Service Center and the
Small Flows clearinghouse so that homeowners, business owners and industry professionals have
an up-to-date source of information related to onsite and decentralized technology.
• Provide funding for EPA’s Septic Smart program so that its materials can be more easily
distributed to homeowners.
• Provide direct financial and staff support to state onsite wastewater regulators to facilitate
increased training of industry regulators and mechanisms to support better enforcement of state
onsite regulations.
• Expand research grants and onsite wastewater training centers and demonstration projects to
help local decision-makers and design engineers better understand the benefits of onsite and
decentralized wastewater treatment systems and technologies.
On behalf of the National Onsite Wastewater Recycling Association and the onsite industry we
thank you for your time.
