Man-Camp Waste Water Design
Man-Camp Waste Water Design
(OP)
Has anybody had experience designing on-site septic for mining/oil man-camps with about 200 people in the Dakotas. One issue is there is no receiving stream, as the area drains to a local depression/wetland. I'm trying figure out what is typically done in this area. Obviously, a leach field or mound system would be to large because of the GPD loading.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I'm not sure of your regulations out there, but from the sound of it, subsurface discharge is the only method with your situation. Therefore, two thoughts:
- can you use multiple mounds or leach fields for your situation? You can design your pump station dosing volume accordingly and discharge it a specific mound.
- can you use alternative designs such as infiltrator systems or eljen to reduce your absorption area?

The design flows are probably 250 gpd per person. I was thinking about designing a Stablization Pond.
RE: Man-Camp Waste Water Design
Maybe I have a misunderstanding of what a man-camp is... but 250 gpd seems awfully excessive.

What do they do at this man-camp? Is it a hotel like system or individual sites, similar to a campground?
