This facility is administered by a trust for outdoor education and camping. The proximity of the river together with large peak loads placed restrictions on the siting and application rates for the effluent disposal area. A large single chamber septic tank with an Orenco (USA) high turbine pump services a LPED disposal area via an automatic sequencing valve which evenly doses each sector of the disposal area in turn.
