We volunteered in a national park. It had many water faucets by the roads for folks to fill up a jug of water. There were puddles at these faucets constantly.
We were asked to dig down about 1-1/2' under each faucet area; remove the rock and dirt and refill with clean dirt and topped with rock.
To those that say grey water soaks in the ground without smell, I invite you to do what we did.
We removed layers of grease, hair, toothpaste and garbage that wasn't decomposed. Yes, it smelled terribly. It took us months to do this nasty job.
Even though there was a sign at each faucet saying "please don't wash hair, wash dishes or brush teeth at these faucets", be assured that people don't think the signs are meant for them.
Subjecting the next camper after you to park in the spot that you dumped your **** is very inconsiderate.
