scope:

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.
