Specifically, the recipient will improve onsite/decentralized operation and maintenance by helping communities adopt best practices to improve public and environmental health and water quality.

Rural communities assistance partnership will provide in-person and remote training and technical assistance to owners, operators, and stakeholders served by, or who regularly interact with onsite/decentralized wastewater systems. Technical assistance and training will address impacts of wastewater discharges on groundwater; the basics of treatment, regulations, operations, and management responsibilities; and the exploration of alternatives in cases where septic systems are no longer viable, including interconnection to a nearby existing system or the development of a new decentralized or centralized treatment system.activities:the activities include identifying priority systems/communities for which technical assistance will be tailored to address causes of compliance challenges and/or to address long-term sustainability and the need for infrastructure financing. Technical assistance will be delivered through training and presentations at conferences, online, and local gatherings on a nationwide scale across the U.S., its territories, and tribal communities, using both in-person and remote/online methods. Rural communities assistance partnership will also pilot the newly developed septic assessment tool (to be completed in the first half of 2023 by rural communities assistance partnership and the university of illinois) on 180 septic systems in rural, disadvantaged communities.

Subawardees include: communities unlimited (CU), great lakes community action partnership (glcap), midwest assistance project (map), rcap solutions (rsol), rural community assistance corporation (rcac) and the southeast rural community assistance project (sercap), which will provide the majority of on-the-ground services including training and technical assistance to decentralized/onsite owners, operators, and stakeholders and the small, rural, and tribal communities they serve. The national onsite wastewater recycling association (nowra) is additional subawardee and will be focused on developing training materials to help communities find viable solutions for wastewater treatment that meet environmental, social, and financial needs using sound decision-making processes.outcomes:the anticipated deliverables include conducting 130 in-depth technical assistance projects, piloting the newly developed septic assessment tool on 180 septic systems in rural, disadvantaged communities, and providing training on a nationwide scale across the united states, territories, and in tribal communities, using both in-person and remote/online methods. Rural communities assistance partnership will deliver these trainings at conferences, online, and in person with some modules will be available through the rural partnership's electronic library.
