1.1
Scope of This Handbook. This handbook supplements the
set of commercial design guidance documents adopted by the
military for use in designing wastewater treatment facilities at
military installations. That primary design set consists of six
manuals of practice (MOPs) published by the Water Environment
Federation (WEF, formerly known as the Water Pollution Control
Federation). As an augmenting handbook, this guidance should be
used in conjunction with those commercial manuals.
Personnel responsible for designing fixed-base
wastewater treatment systems, including experienced engineering
personnel within the Air Force, Army Corps of Engineers (COE),
and Navy as well as contract architectural engineering (A/E)
personnel, should refer to each of the six WEF MOPs and to this
augmenting handbook.
1.1.1
Use and Limitations. This handbook is a process design
guide and does not address general plant design. In designing
and constructing any wastewater treatment facility, numerous
design details need to be considered. They include water supply
systems, lighting requirements, service buildings and equipment,
landscaping, and proprietary processes and equipment.
Requirements for these design elements are given in other
military and service-specific publications.
Design personnel should also check current service
policy documents for detailed instruction. Service-specific
directives take precedence over information contained in
this handbook. Facility fencing and security guidance is
provided in MIL-HDBK-1013/1, Design Guidelines for Physical
Security of Fixed Land-Based Facilities and MIL-HDBK-1013/10,
Design Guidelines for Security Fencing, Gates, Barriers, and
Guard Facilities."
1.1.2
Primary Design Guidance Documents. The WEF manuals are
the primary technical guidance source for the design of
wastewater treatment systems. The WEF set includes the following
publications, several of which are published jointly with the
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE):
