Re: Children's Island
Proposed Self-Contained Composting Toilet Facilities
Permit Application
Dear Mr. Greenbaum:
The YMCA is proposing to install/construct two(2) self-contained, composting toilet facilities, one on the
northern side of the island and one on the southern side of the island. Each facility will contain six (6)
toilet stalls,four(4), one thousand (1,000)gallon composter tanks,a one thousand twenty-five (1,025)
gallon storage tank, a storage room, hand sanitization devices and will be completely self-contained and
will not discharge any effluent outside of these proposed devices. Each facility will be constructed above
grade and will be accessed via ramps and stairs. Each of the facilities will be capable of treating over one
hundred and twenty(120,000)visits per year,for a combined two hundred and forty thousand
(240,000)visits per year.The composter tanks and storage devices are designed such that it is not likely
that there will be a need to remove solids or liquids from the system with a frequency of any more than
one(1)time per every two(2) calendar years.
Based on our discussion on February 29, 2024,we are providing the following documentation, as
requested, as a formal submittal to the City of Salem Board of Health for approval to install/construct
these proposed Self-Contained Composting Toilet Facilities:
• This Cover Letter;
• 248 CMR 10.00 Uniform State Plumbing Code Section 10.10'Plumbing Fixtures, Subsection(2)
Toilets, Paragraph (h)Alternative Technology Toilet Systems, Item 5, which states: "Installations
in areas where no potable water is available, hand sanitizer stations may be installed in lieu of
the required lavatory with prior approval from the local board of health."
• A Maintenance Agreement between the user(YMCA of the North Shore) and the Manufacturer
(Clivus of New England), describing the regularly scheduled maintenance for the systems,
including annual removal of the liquids from the storage tank in the fall of each year;
• Permit Plan Set entitled: 'Down Island Toilet Facility'as prepared by Tucker Architecture;
0 Permit Plan Set entitled: 'Up-Island Toilet Facility' as prepared by Tucker Architecture;

Please note, as previously stated,that the proposed toilet facilities are designed to exceed the minimum
requirements set forth in the applicable section of Title 5(Section 15.289) above as follows:
Section 15.289(1)(a) states:
There shall be no liquid wastewater discharge from the humus/composting toilet. If the
humus/composting toilet produces a liquid by-product that is not recycled through the toilet,the
liquid by-product must be either:
1. discharged through a greywater system on the facility that includes aseptic tank and
leaching system;or
2. removed by a licensed septage hauler and properly disposed.
Compliance:As designed,the liquid wastewater discharge will be stored in a sealed collection tank and
will be pumped out by a licensed septage hauler and properly disposed of as needed or at the end of
each season in the fall.
Section 15.289(1)(c) states:
The system shall be designed to store compostable and composted solids for at least two years,
unless otherwise approved by the Department. Residuals from the system shall be disposed of
either:
a. by burial on-site or in another manner and location approved by the local Approving
Authority, covered with a minimum of six inches of clean compacted earth;or
b. by a licensed septage hauler.
Compliance: Based on the anticipated seasonal usage,the system has been designed to provide storage
capacity for composted solids for a minimum of two (2) years.Any residuals from the composting
process are to be removed by a licensed septage hauler,as needed.
Section 15.289(3) states:
For commercial and public facilities or private organizations, humus/composting toilets are certified
for general use subject to the conditions at 310 CMR 15.289(1)(a)without the need to demonstrate
that a system in full compliance with 310 CMR 15.000 could otherwise be installed on the site.
Compliance:The proposed composting toilet facilities will be used by a private organization,the YMCA
of the North Shore summer day camp program.These facilities are being proposed in lieu of fully
compliant systems due to the low anticipated flows and the seasonal daytime usage.Additionally, since
the island has little access to domestic water,the use of conventional toilets would not be feasible and
therefore fully compliant systems are not proposed.
Please do not hesitate to contact me at dkelley@meridianassoc.com or(978) 265-5402 if you have any
questions,comments or concerns regarding this submittal and any of the attachments.
