Two features indicate proper anchoring of portable toilets during inspection. Which option reflects this requirement?

• A. Anchored well
• B. Anchored well and have a secondary containment underneath
• C. Painted
• D. Positioned near a storm drain

Answer: (B)

Proper anchoring means both keeping the unit from shifting and preventing any leaks from reaching the ground. When a portable toilet is secured firmly and there’s secondary containment underneath, you’ve addressed both stability and environmental protection. The containment catches spills or leaks, which is essential on active sites to avoid contamination of soil or stormwater. Painting the unit doesn’t affect how it’s anchored or contained, and placing it near a storm drain could actually create a risk of runoff rather than demonstrate good anchoring. Simply being anchored isn’t enough if there’s no containment to catch leaks. So the combination of secure anchoring and a secondary containment underneath best shows proper anchoring.
