Septic Think Tank

About

The Septic Think Tank is a one-day idea sharing event that highlights local-level septic management strategies underway in South Carolina to protect public and environmental health.

The agenda is designed to allow opportunities for participants to network, share, and learn about septic-related research, management, regulation, and funding mechanisms, as well as solutions that could be implemented in their communities.

Registration includes lunch.

In addition to the speaker sessions, the Septic Think Tank will include a poster session to network and learn. Organizations are invited to highlight a septic management project, local regulation, or research they have undertaken in their community.

Decision makers, elected officials, local and county governments, natural resource managers, utilities, non-profit organizations, septic professionals, and others.

• Early Registration: $15 (available until April 4)
