Wastewater Management Study for Cleveland-Akron Metroplitan and Three Rivers Watershed Areas. Appendix IX. Agricultural Evaluation,

Abstract

The overall evaluation by the research committee indicates that land disposal with proper management is and should be a viable and acceptable alternative. However, the committee feels that the disruptive effects of an intensive land treatment system are unacceptable. The transmission of wastewater across basin lines may be acceptable if performed in a non-disruptive manner with respect to agronomic, economic and social factors. In summary, it is emphasized that community acceptance, whether the land treatment project is relatively large or small, is paramount and rests upon the wishes or decision of the community involved. In preparing itself to make the decision, the educational approach used by the community will be critical. The decision to accept or reject, as in other community issues, should be made after full knowledge of immediate and long run consequences.
