Composting Solid Waste in Overseas Contingency Operations
Abstract
A technology trial is being conducted at Camp Bondsteel, Kosovo during the fall of 2004 that may offer new possibilities for solid waste management at overseas military locations, most particularly contingency operations (CONOPS). Alternative solid waste management methods will be compared for cost, operational impact and overall performance. US Army, Europe led by the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff, Engineer has teamed with their base support contractor, Kellogg Brown and Root Inc. and a European firm, Comp-Any GmbH, to conduct a technology trial in Kosovo that will track the performance of open window composting compared to Gore-Tex membrane covered aerated static heap, currently in existence are trash burning and burial operations. Representatives of the three participating parties intend to present the findings of this trial at the Army Science Conference in December 2004.
