About this Event

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.
