Scholze, Richard J. | Alleman, James E. | Strusss, Steve R. | Smith, Ed D.
This report examines the problems associated with traditional methods for disposing of human wastes at remote Army sites. Two alternative technologies-aerated vault latrines and composting latrines-offer substantial advantages over traditional methods such as pit latrines, unaerated vault latrines, and chemical latrines. These two technologies are analyzed in terms of their costs, operation and maintenance requirements, Army applicability, and user acceptability. Based on the information obtained from the research, recommendations are made regarding applications of these technologies to use at remote Army sites. Information is provided on selection, design, operation, and maintenance of the recommended technologies.
