Smith Rock State Park, Prineville, Oregon
Located along the Crooked River in Central Oregon, Smith Rock is popular with rock climbers. Two Phoenix composting toilet systems and evaporators provide an odorless, zero-discharge, comfort station for the park's many guests. A photovoltaic array built into the roof generates power. Prefabricated in ACS's climate controlled factory in Whitefish, MT, the buildings's sections were hauled to the site on ATVs and reassembled by ACS's expert crew. This greatly reduced construction impacts. A fierce wildfire stormed through the tinder-dry park in 1996, but the cement-sided Phoenix facility escaped unscathed. |
