Innovative/Alternative Wastewater Collection Systems for Corps of Engineers Recreation Areas.

Abstract

The design of waterborne waste carriage systems has traditionally incorporated the use of gravity collection and transmission systems. Geological and topographic constraints may indicate use of innovative collection alternatives such as pressure, vacuum, or small-diameter systems. General design considerations and evaluation factors are presented for each collection and transmission alternative. Pressure and vacuum systems may provide cost-effective alternatives to gravity collection in Corps of Engineer recreation areas. Alternatives must be evaluated on a cost-specific basis. (Author)
