Where should sleeping areas be placed on sites?

• A. Next to latrines.
• B. Downwind from latrines.
• C. Minimum 100 feet upwind from latrines, and should be placed away from flight line noise.
• D. In the flight line area.

Answer: (C)

Protect health and rest by locating sleeping areas so they’re not affected by waste sources or loud operations. The best placement is at least 100 feet away from latrines and in the upwind direction relative to them, and kept away from flight line noise. This keeps odors and potential pests carried by the wind away from sleepers and reduces disturbance from loud aircraft activity. Placing sleeping areas next to latrines or downwind from them would expose occupants to odors and insects, and putting them in the flight line area would create significant noise and safety concerns.
