Waterless Vault Toilets for Rocky Mountain Arsenal – Commerce City, CO
Commerce City, Colorado is home to the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) a 15,000-acre site just 10 miles northeast of Denver.
The National Wildlife Refuge in Colorado is home to bison, deer, raptors, coyotes, and various other animals that live in the prairie habitat. The National Wildlife Refuge has more than 330 species of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish.
The Refuge has 20 miles of hiking trails, bicycling, fishing, archery, photography, and nature programs giving visitors many activities to see and do. It’s close enough to the city to visit while being able to get out and enjoy nature.
Part of the history of the Refuge is that after Pearl Harbor, the U.S. Army made the area into a chemical weapons manufacturing facility called the Rocky Mountain Arsenal to support World War II. The Shell Chemical Company later leased the facility to produce agricultural chemicals and was used for weapons production in the Cold War.

The site went through a comprehensive environmental cleanup through various regulatory agencies.
The US Fish and Wildlife Service became involved when a roost of bald eagles was found at the site and in 1992 congress designated the site as a National Wildlife Refuge. Eventually, the Army transferred the land to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to establish and later expand the Refuge making it one of the largest urban refuges in the country.
Romtec designed, supplied, and installed the 1016 SST Aspen double unit waterless restroom building on behalf of the US Fish and Wildlife Service at the Colorado Refuge.
The restroom features two waterless vault toilets, polycarbonate windows, CMU smooth face concrete block wall, skylights, metal roofing, stucco siding over the block wall, stone veneer on the bottom of the siding, and vent pipes.
Romtec designs, supplies, and installs waterless restroom buildings in urban or rural locations that don’t want to disrupt the land or don’t have power, water, or sewer services locally. Waterless vault toilets are a great option for remote locations to still provide a restroom building.
