ANSON COUNTY REG WWTP - Anson County, North Carolina Wastewater Treatment Plant

ANSON COUNTY REG WWTP is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Anson County, North Carolina, serving a population of about 8,184. The plant is situated inland, more than 50 km from the coast, and operates under the regulatory framework of the US Clean Water Act, which requires NPDES permits for all discharges. As a facility serving a small to medium-sized community, the plant is expected to provide at least secondary treatment, as mandated by the Clean Water Act for municipal wastewater. The plant's design and operation align with state and federal standards for its size. The treated effluent is discharged into local streams that flow into the Pee Dee River basin, eventually reaching the Atlantic Ocean. The plant plays a key role in protecting water quality in the region, supporting aquatic life and downstream ecosystems.

The plant discharges into tributaries of the Pee Dee River, which flows through North Carolina and South Carolina before emptying into Winyah Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. The watershed supports diverse aquatic species and is important for regional water supply and recreation. Proper treatment helps prevent nutrient pollution and protects downstream habitats.
