Paul Galley: I love the Pennsy Trail section near Eagle Station at 400W going east toward Greenfield . I work on Trail maintenance on Tuesday mornings and see a large number of walker and cyclists using the current port-a-pot. The addition of a vault toilet at this site would be a wonderful addition.

A vault toilet will provide add to this comfort station. A vault toilet is a waterless toilet seen in public areas. The best advantage is a reduction in the amount of water used and has very little environmental pollution. They also use the smallest amount of energy compared to flushing toilets.

These were created by the U.S. Forest Service to reduce dependence on American standard toilets after the Americans with Disabilities Act from 1990. This adds to our accessible site at the 400W Eagle Station trailhead.

A vault toliet can also be a storm shelter. The structure is sturdy and anchored. Being on the trail in a storm can be a problem. Trail users can be protected by strong winds and rain.
