In August 1995, EPA published the "Federal Field Work Group Report to Congress on Alaska Rural Sanitation" (pdf, 658 KB, 56 pages). Although this document is now several years old, it may still be of value to you.
We promote stewardship of ground water resources by sponsoring conferences and well protection projects such as the Home-A-Syst /Farm-A-Syst
program, and distributing educational tools and publications.
