	SitNews - Comment: "YES" on the Cruise Ship Ballot Initiative By Carrie L. James
		Blackwater is sewage, wastewater from toilets and medical facilities, which can contain harmful bacteria, pathogens, diseases, viruses, intestinal parasites, and harmful nutrients.
		Much of this solid waste is incinerated on board, and the ash typically is discharged at sea, although some is landed ashore for disposal or recycling.
		For a large cruise ship, about 8 tons of solid waste are generated during a one-week cruise.12 It has been estimated that 24% of the solid waste generated by vessels worldwide (by weight) comes from cruise ships.

	APPENDIX 3
		Laundry, bath, and kitchen wastes must be disposed of in a conventional septic tank system, although the size of the absorption field may be reduced by 35% from that of a conventional system, provided water conservation devices are utilized.
		Composted wastes from the treatment unit shall be removed as per the manufacturer’s recommendations and the residue shall be buried by covering with at least six inches of soil.
		Where non-discharging flwater treatment systems are used, a 50% reduction in septic tank volume and a 40% reduction in the daily hydraulic loading to be used in sizing the grey water disposal mechanism (drainfield, mound system, etc.) are recommended from standard design requirements.

	U.S. Inspect: Professional Home Inspection - Septic Glossary
		Like the flwater outlet, the point where the drain line exits the house may serve as an indication of where the graywater tank is located, but not always.
		Graywater waste is defined as the wastewater produced from baths and showers, clothes washers, lavatories, laundry systems, perhaps the effluent from a sump pump, the foundation footing drains, and sometimes roof runoff.
		Consequently, when new waste enters the tank, the liquid effluent level rises and the effluent is forced out of the tank through the outlet into the distribution box and into the absorption area for dispersment and continued treatment.

		“Blackwater” is the water from toilets, and septic tanks, and street run-off is water entering from sewage drains on street level due to rainfall street washing etc. The used water is piped to wastewater facilities in various parts of the city, where it is treated.
		Blackwater is passed into an anaerobic digester, which reduces the BOD of the flwater and breaks down nutrients into more plant usable forms, while producing methane and carbon dioxide.
		Assuming 500 pounds of volatile solids from food waste, fish waste, and flwater sludge are processed per day, we expect to produce 200 ft3/day of methane, or a total of 180,000 BTU electricity per day.

		Blackwater is waste carried off by toilets, urinals and kitchen drains.
		A septic tank is, basically, a holding tank that prevents solid waste from being discharged into the ground until it is anaerobically broken down into liquids and gases.
		Instead of treating a valuable resource as "waste" and possibly polluting with it, we are recycling it locally, and utilizing the nutrient value, which minimizes the need to bring in fertilizers.
