Phillip. I would like to know about this. I have no experience with municiple waste handling, but I have lived in the farm belt all of my life and know how hard small family farmers work to manage their waste streams.
The problem I see with urban sprawl is the attempt to utilize the same waste handling solutions that cities use. When our township tried to setup a waste water district, where several rural homes would connect their septic tanks to a common drain field, the state disallowed it. All of the home owners were required to become annexed to the city and join the municiple waste water treament system. But like I said, I do not know the details of each system.

Earlier in my career, I worked as a Field Energy Engineer and was assigned beef, poultry, dairy market sector including Abattoirs, Slaughterhouses, Meat Packers, Poultry Farms, et al. I also handled the sewage and water treatment market sector for about six years. It was interesting experience. I visited all these facilities inside and out. I can provide additional comment if needed. _______________________________________________ Biofuel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://wwia.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/biofuel Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Biofuel archives at Infoarchive.net (searchable): http://infoarchive.net/sgroup/biofuel/
