DM Committee on Really, Really Hard Problems
 
Secondary Treatment is WWI-Era Technology
 
Our economic future depends on technology and innovation. Secondary treatment is an obsolete technology that does not address the significant issues — deals with yesterday’s problems using yesterday’s technologies.  Doesn’t help with heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, emerging threats.  Need new technology, preferably BC originated technology.
