Appalachian Trail Conservancy's "Backcountry Sanitation Manual"

This comprehensive manual explains the basic issues of remote area sanitation, including health, aesthetics, and regulations, but it focuses on the construction and maintenance of moldering and composting toilets, and includes case studies and design plans. The "Backcountry Sanitation Manual" http://www.appalachiantrail.org/docs/trail-maintainers-corner/2011/04/14/backcountry-sanitation-manual.pdf is a cooperative project of the Green Mountain Club and the Appalachian Trail Conservancy.

Resolving problems of backcountry sanitation is a continuous challenge for trail clubs and land managers. This manual was created in the belief that all remote recreation areas will benefit from an expanded discussion of backcountry sanitation.
