Northern Arizona Univer​sity 2024-2025

Project Purpose

The goal of this project is to design a wastewater treatment system and utility hookups for new RV pads for Chiricahua National Monument, on a 1.5-acre parcel located near the front of the monument. The purpose of the treatment system is to provide 5-7 RV pads with full hookups that serve as housing for volunteers and staff. The development will include full utility hookups, covering water distribution from an existing wellhead, wastewater collection, and on-site wastewater treatment.
