land application The discharge of wastewater or treated residual matter onto the ground surface or incorporated into the upper soil layer for treatment or reuse by irrigation or as a soil amendment.
A land application technique that cleanses wastewater by allowing it to flow over a sloped surface. As the water flows over the surface, contaminants are absorbed and the water is collected at the bottom of the slope for reuse.
This includes the following discharge methods; absorption beds, injection wells, drainfields, percolation ponds, rapid infiltration basins, spray fields, and land application systems.
Nondischarge Systems : wastewater disposal systems that do not discharge to surface waters, such as spray irrigation, land application, or conventional septic systems.
