General

General. In remote areas of the State or certain transient or temporary locations, the use of non-waterborne systems such as sanitary pit privies, portable toilets, incinerating toilets, composting toilets, and related sewage disposal systems may be approved. Due to their limited capacities, these systems are restricted to receive excreta only. Since such systems require regular service and maintenance to prevent their malfunction and overflow, they shall only be used where the local health department approves such use. Typical locations of non-waterborne systems are rural camps, seasonal recreation areas, construction sites, public gatherings, and similar transient or temporary locations: 1. Portable toilets may be approved by county health departments for temporary or transient locations where numbers of people congregate for periods of short duration for a specified length of time. A contract for maintenance shall be provided in writing to the county health department prior to approval. 2. Sanitary pit privy installation shall be permitted only in remote locations, but in no case shall such installation be permitted for buildings with indoor plumbing and where water under pressure is located in the structure. Construction of the pit privy will be in compliance with Figures 28 and 29.
