The goal of passive nitrogen septic systems is to reduce the amount of nitrogen that is deposited into the local watersheds in Tampa.
At Southern Water and Soil, we work to stay abreast of the latest rules, regulations, and opportunities in the septic industry in Florida. One of the newest studies completed by the State of Florida was a series of tests on passive nitrogen septic systems and their effects on the quality of wastewater management and nitrogen removal in local watersheds.
The State’s study was based on the information that nitrogen loading from onsite wastewater systems, like those found on most residential properties, is a potential concern in the state. The nitrogen levels and the potential problems created depend on multiple factors, such as the number of onsite installations in a central location, the proximity of the septic system to receiving waters, the sensitivity of receiving waters, and the ability of sub-surface soils to remove nitrogen naturally.
Passive nitrogen septic systems are of a simpler design than traditional systems, in that they include the use of only one mechanical pump for the entire operation. The goal is to reduce the levels of nitrogen that are deposited into local watersheds.
