Cavitt’s Creek Park
First U.S. Bio-Disk® package plant — a decentralized, low-maintenance solution supporting park expansion
End User: Tazewell County, Virginia
Location: Cavitt’s Creek Park, Tazewell, VA
Capacity: 7,500 GPD
System Commissioned: July 2016
BACKGROUND
Cavitt’s Creek Park in Tazewell County, Virginia, needed a sustainable, low-maintenance wastewater solution to support its planned expansion—including new cabins, camping grounds, and special event facilities. The county partnered with EPC Ltd. to implement an advanced decentralized system that would serve as a model for rural wastewater infrastructure across the U.S.
This project marks the first installation of its kind in Virginia and the United States, leveraging EPC’s proven Israeli-developed Bio-Disk® technology.
The Problem → Infrastructure Gaps Limiting Park Expansion
No existing wastewater system capable of supporting new cabins or facilities
High cost and complexity of traditional treatment options
Need for an eco-friendly, unobtrusive system suitable for recreational and nature-based environments
Desire to future-proof package plant with a scalable and efficient solution
The Challenge
Rural location with limited access to centralized treatment infrastructure
Park expansion required immediate wastewater capacity increase
Tight project timeline and budget constraints
System needed to be visually discreet, quiet, and odor-free
Project required coordination between public agencies and a foreign technology partner
The Solution
EPC installed a Bio-Disk® Package Plant, a modular, plug-and-play system designed for remote or variable conditions. This innovative onsite system combines advanced natural treatment processes with durable components built for long-term use.
System Highlights:
Bio-Disk® technology for efficient wastewater treatment
HDPE manholes & inspection chambers designed in Israel
Scalable design to support additional cabins and seasonal park demands
Quiet, odor-free operation—ideal for eco-tourism environments
The Results
Enabled full park expansion: cabins, camping, and special event infrastructure
Delivered a cost-effective and regulatory-compliant system
Received positive coverage as a “game changer” in U.S. rural wastewater treatment
