The basic National Park Service policies for food, water, and waste sanitation are
stated in Directors Order 83, sections A, B, and C and are delineated in greater
detail in the accompanying reference manual to each section above. However, there are
numerous activities which occur in the backcountry of many National Parks, that
sometimes create sanitation issues that require solutions different than those for
more permanent facilities. Examples of such activities include but are not limited to,
white water rafting, horse packing, bicycle tours, jeep tours, snowmobile tours, trail
crews, and backcountry ranger cabins. While conditions in the backcountry are often
different from developed areas, the basic principles of disease prevention are the
same (e.g. the need to control the growth of disease causing microorganisms by
properly treating drinking water and/or by maintaining foods at proper temperature). Yellowstone National
