[GBlist] small package wastewater treatment

[John Abrams <jabrams@vineyard.net>]

David -  John Hanson, Hanson Associates, Jefferson MD 301 371 9172, 
makes a simple, well-conceived residential plantbed system for 
graywater, which is used in conjunction with composting toilets.  We 
have used this system and it has been trouble-free so far.

>Additionally, I would love to know about state-of-the-art small scale or

>better able to analyze what is being proposed in that area as well.
