ROJGA
The construction camp on Rojoa was symmetrically and compactly

arranged and as a result a single sewer line served all facilities.
Location of the site permitted this line to be extended tangentially
for location of outfall and disposal of sewage into the lagoon, Since

there were no beaches contiguous to the point of disposal, and since
the campsite proper was removed therefrom, only 300 feet of subaqueous

outfall were required by this installation.

ENGEBI
The construction camp on Engebi was larger than those on other
experiment islands and development of the site followed the pattern
of an arc described using the location of zero as the center. The
facilities and sewer system covered an elongated area. Available elevation for slope of sewers was limited and sewers were required to
slope to a central point rather than in one general direction concentric with the axis of the developed area. From this central point

the main sewer and subaqueous outfall line extended nearly due south
for most advantageous location of the point of disposal. No beach
was affected by this installation and only normal protection of ad-

jacent tidal lands from muisance was required. A subaqueous outfall
sewer 500 feet long was provided for disposal of sewage,

J APT AN
The site of the facilities and installations on Japtan Island essentially consisted of two separate areas, the campsite being located
in the northwesterly portion and the animal colony being located in the
southwesterly portion.
Ground elevation of Japtan Istand is slightly higher than other
islands of the Atell; hence more slope for sewer installation was
available, This enabled the design to provide for a single unified

system, despite the separated locations and the relatively greater distances involved.
Advantageous location of outfall sewer was at the southerly end
of the island near the "Deep Entrance" to the lagoon, From this point
the main sewer line followed the shore line to the camp area, serving

isolated installations between, The animal colony was located immediately adjacent to the land end of the outfall sewer and service to
these facilities was extremely economical.

queous outfall sewer were provided.

GARBAGE AND TRASH DISPOSAL
Garbage and trash disposal presented no design problems because,
in accordance with recommendations of the Reconnaissance Report, no

special facilities were provided. Garbage was dumped at sea, and trash
was burned in isolated pits provided on the lee side of each camp island,
