to have been built and occupied
by December 27, 1977.
As qualifying conditions tile
EPA sets other requirements as
foil ows:
• The applicant must show
that the cost of the proposed
system will be less than the cost
of central collection and
treatment.
• A public body (such as a
sanitation district or public
services district) must apply for
the grant on behalf of a member
requesting such individual
installation.
• If ownership of the
equipment is to be private, the
public body must certify that
public ownership is feasible.
• The public body which
applies for the grant must
guarantee that the treatment
works and will be properly
operated and maintained.
Toilets may not be the most
popular subjects for polite
conversations, but for people
living where traditional septic
systems are not feasible,
alternative methods for treating
sewage may be of prime concern.
And other residents might
take an interest in alternative
types of toilets to escape the
rising costs of individual septic
systems.
With the intent of passing
along information on alternative
sewage disposal systems to local
residents, the Port of Allyn
commissioners invite'd a
representative from a Seattle
firm handling such systems to
speak at their meeting last
Wednesday.
When it comes to waterless
sewage disposal, Carl Tidd said
there are two basic types of
systems available. One method
uses incineration, while the
device is the time it needs for
the burn cycle. This means that
the toilet is out of use for four
to five hours every day, but"
incineration can usually be done
at night.
Biological decomposition
toilets are a more recent
development. They rely on a
heater and draft fan system to
speed up the process of
composting by microorganisms
within the toilet. Residue from
the toilets can be worked into
soil as fertilizer.
Both types of systems claim
to be odorless and are considered
pollution free.
Although the port
commissioners appreciated
receiving the information, they
were disappointed to learn that
neither type of system can be
used to solve their continuing
problem with sewage disposal at
the Allyn docksite.
Incinerating and decomposing toilets won't help the Port of Allyn
the chemical privy currently in use at the Allyn dock. But availabl,
funds should encourage homeowners living near pollutable water
to examine use of such alternative sewage treatment systems.

Although initial costs for recipient of sewageservice pays where uncontrolled use is annual potluck dinner today
such waterless systems run high his proportional share of anticipated.
- around $1,600 for an operation, maintenance costs and Currently, the port is using a
incinerating plant and $900 for the eventual replacement of chemical toilet to dispose of Mason County Historical
equipment.
Despite the governmental
jargon and procedures, residents
of Mason County living in rural
areas far from municipal sewage
systems - especially those living
near water sources - should
stand a good chance at gaining
the funds if they're willing to
endure the paperwork.
As for tbe alternative devices
themselves, both types can be
used for the borne.
Incinerating systems have
been used for years in place of
conventional chemical toilets at
remote jobsites. Typically, they
rely on a propane-fueled
burn-chamber to reduce waste to
an ash residue.
One of the inherent
limitations to an incinerating
decomposers - recently
established provisions of the
federal Clean Water Act of 1977
are making these alternatives
more economically attractive.
Sections of the act, signed
last December, state that "under
specific conditions" sewage
treatment devices serving
individual homes are eligible for
Environmental Protection
Agency grants.
Under these provisions
homeowners who qualify can
receive up to 75 percent funding
to install "alternative or
• unconventional" sewage disposal
devices to: replace failing septic
systems.
Because the funding program
is designed to serve existing
housing rather than future
n!!
sewage at its Allyn dock facility.
The commissioners say they will
continue to search for an
alternative.
Davis resigns
When school resumes this
fall, North Mason High School
will have a new principal.
Art Davis, the current
principal, has submitted his
resignation for consideration at
tonight's school board meeting.
Davis plans to relocate in San
Antonio, Texas, where he will
become a partner in a fastfood
enterprise.
Superintendent Norm
Sanders said no problems existed
between Davis, other
administrators or the school
board and the unexpected
