The development of innovative/alternative wastewater collection systems has been spurred by the increase in construction cost of conventional gravity collection systems. Four classifications of innovative/alternative collection and transportation systems have received the most attention from the research and development community. Systems available for application to recreation area requirements include: pressure systems, vacuum systems, small diameter gravity systems, and recycle/reuse systems. Information concerning these systems is diffuse in many cases limited in scope. Annotations are presented for selected references on available innovative/alternative collection systems. Fifty-three references are presented for pressure systems and fourteen references are presented for vacuum systems. An additional twenty-seven references on related subject matters are also included.

The design of waterborne waste carriage systems has traditionally incorporated the use of gravity collection and transmission systems. Geological and topographic constraints may indicate use of innovative collection alternatives such as pressure, vacuum, or small-diameter systems. General design considerations and evaluation factors are presented for each collection and transmission alternative. Pressure and vacuum systems may provide cost-effective alternatives to gravity collection in Corps of Engineer recreation areas. Alternatives must be evaluated on a cost-specific basis. (Author).
