PROJECT CODE: 95/PH/A29/291<br />

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Evaluate composting toilets, incineration toilets, and aerobic<br />

systems under intermittent use conditions. The objective of this project is to evaluate <strong>the</strong><br />

treatment efficiency of representative types of cornposting toilets and aerobic sewage<br />

treatment devices under intermittent use conditions that would be applicable to <strong>the</strong> Gulf Coast<br />

climatic conditions. The tests should be conducted in order to meet <strong>the</strong> specifications of <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>National</strong> Sanitation Foundation (NSF Standard 40) if possible, since this is a requirement for<br />

approval of alternative on-site sewage treatment devices in some Gulf Coast states. If standard<br />

conditions for <strong>the</strong>se evaluations do not exist, <strong>the</strong> conditions used should be determined in<br />

conjunction with <strong>the</strong> Public Health Issue Committee and included in <strong>the</strong> final report<br />

Type: Independent<br />

Geography: Louisiana<br />

Statement of Product: A report that can be used by state health departments in rule<br />

conventional septic tanks and leach fields will not provide adequate treatment and<br />

disposal.<br />

Cost: $l00K<br />
