The Bureau de Normalization du Quebec (BNQ) has released a consultation document for the 3680-600 Onsite Domestic Wastewater Treatment Systems Standard. This is one of the standards that Nova Scotia Environment references in Section 59 (1) of the Nova Scotia Standard (Page 23) regarding “Advanced on-site sewage treatment technologies”. These alternative treatment units are available for use in the NS program by engineers so members may be interested in reviewing the Standard and submitting comments. Members are asked to provide feedback directly to BNQ using the feedback form available with the additional information below.
