ADDITIONAL INFO:

The wastewater we're producing qualifies as a biohazard due to its content of over 1% solids. It is regulated under RCRA rules and remains very pumpable. This waste includes black water from latrines and grey water from showers, with human waste (fecal matter and urine) present.

The fecal matter alone results in more than 1% solid waste.
