The latest edition includes the article, "The Regulation of Alternative Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems in the Great Lakes Region" by 
Hugh S. Gorman, Ph.D., and Kathleen E. Halvorsen Ph.D., both of Michigan Technological University

In the Great Lakes region, increasing numbers of homeowners are using alternative onsite wastewater treatment systems (OWTS) to compensate for conditions that preclude the use of conventional gravity-fed septic systems. Many OWTS regulatory programs, already burdened with an installed base of aging conventional systems, are now faced with the additional challenge of ensuring that alternative systems are properly designed, installed, and maintained.

The article includes a summary for Wisconsin, Ohio, New York, Michigan, and Ontario.
