The Role of Sewage Lagoons at Corps of Engineers Recreation Areas.

Abstract

This survey report was prepared to assess the role of Corps of Engineers recreation area sewage lagoons in light of recent technology and current and future Corps problems and needs. A review of the literature was conducted to identify design, operation, and upgrading methods that may be applicable to the special loading problems and other circumstances characteristic of recreation area lagoons. Concurrently, a survey was conducted to establish the geographic distribution and the design and performance successes and failures of the more than 200 Corps recreation area lagoons nationwide. Steps are recommended for improving lagoon waste treatment at recreation areas based on current knowledge, and areas of needed research are identified. (Author)
