DESIGN CRITERIA FOR A SEWAGE OXIDATION POND IN ARCTIC ALASKA
Through an Interservice Agreement with the Air Force, the Environmental Sanitation Section (ESS) of the Arctic Health Research Center (AHRC) has prepared design criteria for the construction of an experimental anaerobic pond followed in series by an aerobic pond for treating sewage from the Base.

Through an Interservice Agreement with the Air Force, the Environmental Sanitation Section (ESS) of the Arctic Health Research Center (AHRC) has prepared design criteria for the construction of an experimental anaerobic pond followed in series by an aerobic pond for treating sewage from the Base.

During the summer months the stored sewage will be fed into the aerobic pond for a 10-day retention period with subsequent discharge.
