Clivus New England, Inc., is proud to be a part of the new sustainable bathhouse pavilion at East Matunuck Beach in South Kingstown, RI.  RI DEM hopes to achieve a minimum of USGBC LEED Silver status.  The new pavilion is replacing the 30+ year old cinder block building constructed in the 1970s.

Various types of green and innovative technologies will be incorporated into the new facility, including solar hot water, natural daylighting, and of course, Clivus composting waste treatment!

Due to the meticulous and efficient hard work of Pezzuco Construction the project remains on schedule for its June, 2012, opening.

Amenities on the island include seaside camp sites, warm showers, some flush toilets, and dry vault toilets.  This past summer Hermit Island introduced its first Clivus restroom to replace some of the vault toilets and reduce water usage and waste produced by the flushing toilets.  The new restrooms are odor-free, clean, and eliminate polluting discharge.  Hundreds of gallons of water are saved daily, and the solid waste will be turned into soil-like humus to be used in native plantings around the campground.

We must preserve and protect this fragile ecosystem for future generations to enjoy!!

For several decades Salvation Army Camp Wonderland in Sharon, MA, has offered needy youngsters a chance to attend summer camp.  Located on 110 acres along the shore  of Lake Massapoag the camp boasts 16 camper and staff cabins and various other activities buildings.  Each cabin houses 12-18 campers.

After decades of use all the cabins recently got a facelift and were redesigned with new walls, floor plans, and bathrooms, several being ADA compliant.  Because the camp is in such close proximity to the lake engineers from Norfolk RAM and Norwood Engineering insisted that the new waste treatment systems eliminate nutrient loading from the nitrogen and phosphorous found in human waste.  With the camp discharging over 10,000 gallons per day the Salvation Army contacted Clivus New England, Inc., for a creative way to solve their problem of obtaining a Groundwater Discharge Permit from DEP.

Dispersed throughout the 16 cabins are 17 Clivus composting waste treatment systems that utilize Nepon 3-ounce Foam-Flush Toilets.  The toilets are ADA compliant and provide a 97% reduction in the fresh water use associated with conventional toilets.  The pre-treated,  high quality compost effluent is sent to a storage tank, thus eliminating nitrogen and phosphorous from the waste stream.  The result is greywater only from showers and sinks being discharged to a reduced sized leach field.  Solid waste remains in the composters for a minimum of 2 years which results in a 95% reduction in the solid mass and the elimination of pathogens.  The soil-like humus can be re-used in ornamental planter beds around the camp or can otherwise be returned to the earth.

Clivus helped the camp achieve a nitrogen loading rate of <5mg/liter, half the DEP maximum allowance!!  And, Camp Wonderland received its Groundwater Discharge Permit.

• Architectural services for the Camp Wonderland project were provided by Nancy Allison of Newbridge Architecture, Sharon, MA.
• General contracting services by Bowdoin Construction, Needham Heights, MA.
• Engineering by Norfolk RAM, Plymouth, MA, and Norwood Engineering, Norwood, MA.

A Clivus New England representative will be available to explain how our composting waste treatment system works, answer your questions, and show how Clivus helped The Doyle Center achieve a USGBC LEED Gold Award.

The public restrooms at this Trustees of Reservations property feature the Nepon 3-ounce foam-flush toilet.  Feel free to try one and see how the foam-flush reduces toilet water usage by 97%, and then take the tour to see a Clivus composter in action!
