Director's
Orders 83 is the governing document that describes the Public Health
Program expectations of Park Managers. The requirements outlined in DO
83 are in keeping with the requirements as set forth in the Management
Policies of the National Park Service, GPRAct requirements and the
NPS
Strategic Plan(large file). In addition to the Director's Order, there
may be additional requirements imposed by the Primacy Agency, if applicable.
There are two reference manuals that provide the "how tos" of
wastewater management and disposal. RM83(B1)-Wastewater
Systems is the basic guidance for septic tank and drainfield management.
RM83(B2)-In-Depth Design
and Maintenance of Vault Toilets, published by The Forest Service,
U.S. Department of Agriculture, is the guidelines used throughout the
National Park Service for vault toilet management.
All primacy agency regulated wastewater systems (e.g., systems that require
an NPDES permit, must conform to the requirements imposed through the
permitting process.
