27 Sewage from the Cafeteria went into septic galleries located near the top of Dutton Creek Trail until 1991, when installation ‘of a new sewer line connected the building to lagoons in Munson Valley. It has been hypothesized that there is a connection between this leach field and high nitrate levels in Spring 42, located below Rim Village on the inner caldera wall.

29 These springs continue to show higher levels of nitrate than other springs inside the caldera almost a decade after abandonment of the septic leach field near Rim Village.
