Controlling odors from confined animals
Published October 1994. Please look for up-to-date information in the OSU Extension Catalog: http://extension.oregonstate.edu/catalogThese principles are relatively few and direct. For odor detection to occur, odorous compounds must be (a) formed,
(b) released to the atmosphere, and
(c) transported to the place of detection.
When you prevent or inhibit any of these steps, you reduce or remove the odor problem

Why do septic systems fail?
In a properly operating septic system, the solid material in the sewage is settled out in a septic tank and stored until removal by pumping. The effluent from the tank is still sewage. It has a strong odor and is high in disease causing organisms. This effluent is treated and absorbed in a soil absorption (or leach) field.Published May 2000. Reviewed May 2015.

Septic tank maintenance
The most common wastewater treatment system used in rural areas is the septic tank-soil absorption system. The septic tank removes settlable and floatable solids from the wastewater, and the soil absorption field filters and treats the clarified septic tank effluent. Removing the solids from the wastewater protects the soil absorption system from clogging and premature failure. In addition to removing solids, the septic tank also stores the settled solids, and permits digestion of a portion of them.Published April 2000. Reviewed May 2015.
