State Codes May Vary From Local Ordinance

Soil Conditions And Site Location
Most Minnesota onsite sewage treatment systems use one of the available Soil Treatment Systems. There are numerous individual wastewater treatment systems to choose from. Soil Conditions and Site Location usually dictate the type of Septic System to be used on your property. A community such as Dayton, MN may have a different type of wastewater treatment system installed than in Andover or Ham Lake, MN.
SSTS Versus ISTS
In the state of Minnesota an Onsite Septic System is referred to as a Subsurface Sewage Treatment System (SSTS). In the past this same wastewater treatment system was called an Individual Sewage Treatment System (ISTS). They both mean the same thing. Only the terminology has changed.
Conventional Soil Treatment Septic Systems
Conventional Wastewater Treatment in Minnesota utilizes one of the various types of Soil Treatment Septic Systems listed below. Each includes an underground Septic Tank and a way to send liquid waste through the soil for effective organic treatment. Proper treatment of waste water will remove hazardous pathogens before allowing water to make its way back into the environment.
- Gravel Trench System
- Pressure Beds and Seepage Beds
- At-Grade Drainfield System
- Mound System
Organic Sewage Treatment Process
The Soil Treatment Septic Systems listed above rely on a combination of Biological, Chemical and Physical processes to treat wastewater that contains sewage. Some septic systems include a Septic Pump and some types rely on Gravity to move liquid effluent out to the Soil Absorption Treatment System.
The organic treatment process begins inside of an underground Septic Tank. Naturally occurring Bacteria inside of the tank starts the biological treatment to Remove Hazardous Bacteria, Parasites, Nutrients, Viruses and Chemicals.
