REST AREA SANITARY DISPOSAL SYSTEMS
A SANITARY DISPOSAL METHOD SHOULD SATISFY THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS' /1/ THERE SHOULD BE NO CONTAMINATION OF GROUND WATER THAT MAY ENTER SPRINGS OR WELLS, /2/ THERE SHOULD BE NO CONTAMINATION OF SURFACE WATER, /3/ THE SURFACE SOIL SHOULD NOT BE CONTAMINATED, /4/ WASTE SHOULD NOT BE ACCESSIBLE TO FLIES OR ANIMALS, /5/ THERE SHOULD BE FREEDOM FROM ODORS OR UNSIGHTLY CONDITIONS, AND /6/ THE METHOD USED SHOULD BE SIMPLE AND INEXPENSIVE IN CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION. DISPOSAL WITH WATER CARRIAGE IS DISCUSSED BY SEPTIC TANKS WITH DOSING DEVICES AND EQUIPMENT. INFLUENT CHAMBERS, SECONDARY TREATMENT, AEROBIC DIGESTION AND STABILIZATION PONDS ARE TREATED. DISPOSAL WITHOUT WATER CARRIAGE AND CHEMICALS USED ARE ALSO DISCUSSED.
