Where Does the Poop Go?

Hello Alison,

Pollution due to the discharge of Human waste into water systems is a world-wide problem. 4MC has at least two sources of human waste. One is treated effluent from the EPA approved Sewage Treatment Plant just south of Oxford. The other, non-point source discahrges are from homes and communities that use Septic Systems that may or may not be in operating order. For instance, the Springwood subdivision just east of Oxford has no sanitary sewer system, onl;y septic. All of the dischatge eventually ends up in 4MC!

Fecal coliform pollution is a huge worldwide problem. Perhaps a look at Fecal Coliform pollution could serve as the science foundation of your study?

A fine start,
Hays
