The third outfall served a much smaller percentage of the contributing total population load and was extended only 300 feet into the
lagoon,

All subaqueous outfall sewers were constructed of 8 inch corru-

gated galvanized iron, asbestos impregnated, double dipped asphalt

coated pipe. Individual sections were joined with a band type joint
which permitted the outfall sewer pipe to be floated into position
before submergence, Excessive costs of submarine construction operations were thus avoided and the installations were made with a mini-~
mum expenditure of funds.

PARRY ISLAND
Cne single unified sanitary system was designed to serve the in-~

stallations on Parry Island.

The site plan had been developed plac~

ing outfalls in a location contiguous to the excellent beach facing
the lagoon.

Protection of this beach from contamination was the prime

factor in the design of the system. The flow of sewage had to be
directed southwesterly fran the site in order that this could be accomplished, Hence the main sewer was slightly longer than would otherwise have been required,

Since the available slope was limited, this

necessitated camparatively deep trenching for the lower portion of the
main collecting sewer. Available slope also would not permit service
to a group of ten barracks buildings located adjacent to the reef side
of the island. The ground surface of the area in which these barracks
were located was raised a maximum of two feet by grading operations,

thereby permitting gravity flow service from this area and resulting
in generally improved appearance of this and contiguous areas.
The basic design for the sewer system was little affected by the
subsequent additions and changes in scope of the work at this site.
Primarily, resulting changes in the design of the sewer system involved only the relocation of originally designed service lines or the extension of lateral sewers to serve added areas.
The subaqueous outfall sewer carrying the flow of this system was
designed to be 1000 feet long, in accordance with requirements of the
population load contributing to this flow and the resulting area of the
sleek field within the lagoon.

RUNIT
The construction camp on Runit was located near the southerly end
of the island. The extent of the land area available for the develop-

ment of the campsite was extremely limited and the facilities required

irregular arrangement. However, design of the sewer system provided
for economical lengths of collecting lines. Location of the site at
the southerly end of the island was somewhat advantageous for location
of subaqueous outfall sewer, although adequate protection of the beach
required an outfall sewer extending 500 feet from shore.
