Water and untreated sludge from septic tanks are listed as contaminants under the Environment Quality Act and they must be cleaned up properly. Motivated by this mission, Benjamin Leblanc, owner of Épursol, has built in the municipality of Chénéville, Petite-Nation, a brand new wastewater treatment and composting plant, which meets the strictest criteria imposed by the Ministère du Développement durable, de l’Environnement et des Parcs du Québec (MDDEP).
Septic holding tanks can contain between 1,000 and 3,000 gallons. These tanks are used where space is limited or where a septic drain field isn’t appropriate. Ecological concerns and the protection of nearby lakes, streams or ponds are the most common factors that require the installation of septic holding tanks. For example, property owners living too close to a river had no other options until very recently. Today new options are available such as the Eco-Flow peat-moss filtering system. These new systems have significantly changed the minimum distance requirements to lakes.
