| Description |
Nitrogen loading from onsite septic systems (OSSs) may degrade the ecological health of aquatic systems by causing or accentuating eutrophication leading to hypoxia or anoxia. OSSs do not typically remove nitrogen within the septic tank; therefore, denitrification is the primary mechanism controlling nitrogen loading from OSSs to surface water systems. Hood Canal, located in the Puget Sound region of Washington, has been severely affected by low dissolved oxygen concentrations due to excess...
