    The document summarizes parameters measured in wastewater at different stages of treatment in soil. Raw wastewater contains high levels of BOD5, SS, fecal coliforms, and viruses. At the outlet of a septic tank, levels are reduced but still present. When measured 0.3 and 0.9 meters into the soil, all levels are reduced to zero or trace amounts, indicating the purifying capacity of soil to remove contaminants from wastewater.
