DIVISION 200 – TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

210 Standards/Process for Flush, Vault and Chemical Toilet Cleaning and Disposal The contractor SHALL comply with OSHA Standard 1915.88 Sanitation and KY State regulations pertaining to cleaning and maintaining sanitary conditions for public spaces. In addition, after removal of waste, all vaults must be disinfected, toilet bowls and floors cleaned and disinfected in accordance with specifications in the USDA Special Report #8023 1801, Cleaning Recreation Sites, dated March, 1988.

(Copy available up request)

210.1 Flush, Vault and Chemical Toilets

• All units will be cleaned and sanitized on a scheduled basis or more frequently when conditions warrant, and provided with two rolls of paper as necessary.

• All units will contain a service check sheet for SST and a separate check sheet for cleaning to identify the day and time of service.

• All units will be numbered for serviceability.

• Portable toilets placed in remote areas will be cleaned, serviced and material re-supplied by the contractor.

210.2 Equipment

The Contractor shall furnish all toilet pumping equipment, tank truck (a truck that can reverse the suction process and create a pressure force is preferred so that the inevitable clogged lines can be more easily cleaned), water truck, tools, approved disinfectant, and other equipment and supplies necessary to perform work in accordance with these specifications. A 4 inch suction hose and attachment couplings are recommended to accomplish all pumping requirements. If a 3” hose is used, a straining basket or other device is required to prevent clogging by beverage containers. The length of hose must be long enough to accomplish the required pumping. Most of the facilities can be reached with 60’ of hose.

A pressure washer system is required to wash the side and end walls of the vault after pumping and may be necessary to dilute solidified waste in the bottom of a flat bottomed vault and to wash the last portion of waste down a sloped bottomed vault. A 100 gallon tank is on the pressure washer is adequate to pump clean approximately 4 vaults.

Some suggested tools are: Two 6 foot long clam rakes with 6 inch long tines (the tines shall be completely dulled or rounded on the ends to prevent the tines from injuring the pumper or his/her helpers and from puncturing any rubber or synthetic liners that may be present in the vault), a long handled grabber, plastic bags to haul away all the miscellaneous debris, brushes designed for cleaning up the spilled waste, and containers to mix the cleaning and disinfecting solutions in.

The Forest service will provide, if requested, a long handled strainer/basket for the contractor’s use on a loan basis. Short handled grabbers may also be provided on request. All equipment shall be in full accordance with any local and State County Regulations.

210.3 Pumping Procedures When an Outside Manhole is Available.

If the outside pump out access is less than 20 inches in diameter (or 20 inches square) the Contractor shall be allowed to remove the vault contents through the toilet riser.

5 | P a g e

If the dimension of the pump out access is less than 20 inches, then there may be items in the vault that were thrown into the vault through the toilet riser which is 16 inch by 20 inch and those items may or may not be removable through the outside manhole of a lesser dimension.

After removing the manhole cover, use the clam rakes or long handled grabber to remove as much of the debris as possible before trying to pump out the waste. This procedure will help stir up the contents of the vault and break up the dense concentration of waste typically located just under the toilet riser (the impact zone). By removing most of all of the debris before pumping, the Contractor will find that the 4 inch hose will not clog so often and the liquid portion of the contents will not be removed before the thicker solids are removed.

ALL DEBRIS REMOVED FROM THE VAULT SHALL BE PLACED INTO A LEAK PROOF CONTAINER SO THAT NO

CONTAMINATION TO THE SURROUNDING GROUND WILL RESULT.

If the bottom of the vault is flat, then the waste shall be removed down to within 4-5 inches of the bottom. At this point the 4 inch hose will begin to suck air (vortexing) and further removal will be slow.

At this time, remove any further debris that was not removed during the initial raking and removal.

Using a pressure washer system, wash down the interior walls of the vault before the clinging debris has a chance to dry. If at this time there is a heavy concentration of solids on the bottom of vault, use the pressure washer system to break up and dilute the solids and then pump this diluted waste down again until the suction hose begins to suck too much air to make further pumping practical.

The flat bottomed vault shall now be pre-charged with enough water to bring the depth of water up to 10 inches. (Approximately 150 gallons)

If the bottom of the vault is sloped (all vaults should be sloped a minimum of 1 in. per ft.), then pump the waste down (at the deep end) to where the hose begins to suck air. Remove any remaining debris and then go inside the building with the pressure washer system and wash the remaining waste down the sloped bottom. Wash down the vault walls from inside the building or from the outside manhole, whichever is easier. Now pump out the remaining waste and the water that was just added by the pressure washer until the suction hose begins to suck too much air to make further pumping practical.

Pre-charge the vault with clean fresh water so that there is 10 inches of water covering the bottom under the toilet riser

Thoroughly clean and disinfect all contaminated areas resulting from the pumping process. Either sweep or wash all waste that is deposited on the concrete surrounding the manhole cover, back into the vault if possible. The waste that runs off the edge of the concrete, onto the dirt or into the gravel edge, will be an attractant for flies, a potential health risk and an odor problem. This problem should be avoided.

210.4 Pumping through the Toilet Riser When There is No Outside Manhole The Contractor shall remove the toilet riser prior to pumping or removing debris. The Contractor shall not remove debris through or pump through the toilet riser without removing the riser.

Remove the debris and pump in accordance with 230 Pumping Procedures. Extra care shall be taken to prevent waste spillage onto the interior floor and wall surface while removing debris and while pumping.

The toilet paper dispenser and toilet riser shall be protected from damage and the toilet paper shall be

6 | P a g e covered with a waterproof material prior to removing debris or pumping, in order to prevent the paper from getting contaminated.

During the final cleanup, the interior floor surface and any wall surface that was contaminated by waste shall be thoroughly disinfected. Again, every effort shall be made to sweep or wash the spilled waste back into the vault. The Contractor shall not allow the spilled water to be washed or swept out through the front door because the waste will collect at the edge of the concrete and the dirt (or gravel) and will become an attractant for flies, a possible health risk for barefoot persons and an odor problem.

Thoroughly wash and disinfect both the inside and outside of the toilet riser and the seat and cover before replacing the riser. The toilet riser and seat shall be dry before the Contractor leaves the work site. Remove the waterproof covering that was protecting the toilet paper and make sure the paper did not get contaminated. If the paper did get contaminated, the Contractor shall notify the COR. The door handles or knobs shall also be disinfected and dry before the Contractor leaves the job site.

Each unit shall be available for immediate use after the pumping and final cleanup. The Contractor shall not leave any toilet location until final cleanup is accomplished.

210.5 ESTIMATED PUMPINGS PER CONTRACT

Each of the listed toilets shall be pumped at least once per annum, on a schedule to be arranged by the Ranger District. Wherever possible, pumpings will be arranged so as to maximize the capacity of the contractor’s truck tank. Additional pumpings may be requested by the Forest Service and will be billed at the bid price. This request must be submitted by the Contracting Officer. COR requests will be referred back to the CO. Honoring a CORs request for additional service may result in the contractor NOT being paid for that service.

ESTIMATED LEVELS – In most cases the Forest Service will call for pumping when the level in the vault is approximately 700 gallons. The actual gallons pumped may be more or less.

Contractor must add fresh back fill water to all toilets. Contractor shall add the backfill immediately after pumping the tank or vault completely empty.

Clean thoroughly around the manhole cover gasket area and replace the cover.

Archaeology The fragile archaeological sites in this area are irreplaceable evidence of earlier lives – a common inheritance from past generations with whom we share this land. Once destroyed, these sites are gone forever. Due to its significant archaeological resources, the gorge has been designated a National Register Archaeological District.

To preserve these sites:

• Do not camp or build fires in rock shelters.

• Do not collect or dig for artifacts.

• Do not disturb the soil, dig or move rocks in rock shelters.

• Obey all signs and restrictions.

Rock Climbing Rock climbing is permitted, but new climbing routes should be approved by the Forest Service. Climbing and rappelling are not permitted within 300 feet of Sky Bridge, Gray’s Arch, Nada Tunnel, Chimney Top Rock Overlook and other areas as posted.

Cliffline Safety The cliffs of the gorge are beautiful, but they are also dangerous. Every year, visitors are injured or killed by falling from a cliff.

• Avoid camping near the edge of cliffs. You may be closer to the edge than you realize.

• Foot travel after dark is not safe.

• Watch your footing when walking near cliffs. Trees and shrubs may not hold you if you slip.

• Keep children under close supervision at all times.

Do not let them run or play near cliffs.

Caves Caves may be closed due to white-nose syndrome, a disease that infects bats. Please respect all closure notices and stay out of caves to help stop the spread of this disease.

Bears Black bear populations have been steadily increasing in the Red River Gorge. Store your food and trash properly, as described in “Food Storage Rules in Bear Country” in this brochure.

The Red River Kentucky’s first and only National Wild and Scenic River, the Red River, offers scenic beauty and outdoor adventure. Late fall and spring are the best times for canoeing or kayaking.

Hiking Trails Nearly 70 miles of hiking trails wind through the gorge.

Many of the trails are strenuous due to rugged terrain.

All official trails are blazed with white diamond-shaped markers. Motorized vehicles are prohibited.

Natural Stone Arches Sculpted by 70 million years of wind and water, the natural stone arches in the gorge vary greatly by shape and size. Heavily forested slopes, ridges and cliffs provide a stunning backdrop for more than 100 arches.

Nada Tunnel An interesting way to enter the Gorge is through Nada Tunnel, located along KY 77. This 900-foot tunnel, open to one-lane traffic only, was built for use by a logging company during the early 1900s. Tunnel clearance for vehicles is 12 feet wide by 12 feet high.

Clifty Wilderness Clifty Wilderness is a rugged, undeveloped area designated for preservation in its natural state. Clifty Wilderness offers hikers physical challenge as well as opportunities for quiet and solitude. Be prepared to encounter adverse weather conditions, isolation and physical hazards. Motorized and mechanical travel and equipment are prohibited.

Koomer Ridge Campground This fee area features 54 trailer and tent spaces, vault toilets, fire grills, lantern posts, drinking water, picnic tables and an amphitheater. Sites are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Koomer Ridge is open year round. A bath house with flush toilets and showers is available mid-April through October.

Natural Bridge State Resort Park Adjacent to Red River Gorge Geological Area, Natural Bridge is managed by the Kentucky Department of Parks. It offers lodge rooms, cabins, dining facilities and two developed campgrounds. For more information, call 606-663-2214, or

1-800-255-PARK (7275).

Come and experience the gorgeous Red River Gorge Geological Area. Thousands of visitors enjoy the outdoors year round in this unique natural area. Among the breathtaking scenery and spectacular rock features are vast opportunities for recreation and adventure. Discover what awaits you.

The Red River Gorge is located on the Cumberland Ranger District of the Daniel Boone National Forest. The Daniel Boone National Forest is part of the Forest Service, the federal agency within the U.S. Department of Agriculture that manages national forests and grasslands for multiple uses.

USDA is an equal opportunity provider, employer and lender.

Plants and Animals The gorge supports an unusual array of plant and animal life. Many rare and sensitive species are found in the gorge. White-haired goldenrod, federally listed as a threatened plant, is found in rock shelters and along cliffs only in the Red River Gorge, occurring nowhere else in the world. Virginia big-eared bats, an endangered species, use rock shelters and cliffs for feeding, resting and rearing their young. The Forest Service asks for your help in protecting these species and their habitat.
