BAGLEY STP - Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant in Bagley, Wisconsin

BAGLEY STP is a wastewater treatment facility located in Bagley, Wisconsin, United States. It serves a small population of 379 residents in the rural community of Grant County. The plant operates under the regulatory framework of the US Clean Water Act, which requires municipal wastewater treatment plants to meet National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit standards. The plant provides advanced treatment, which goes beyond secondary treatment to remove additional nutrients and contaminants. With a designed capacity of 90.85 million gallons per year and an actual discharge volume of 71.92 million gallons per year, the plant operates at approximately 79% capacity. This indicates adequate capacity for current demand. The treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Mississippi River basin. The Mississippi River is a major ecological corridor supporting diverse aquatic life and migratory birds. The plant's advanced treatment helps protect downstream water quality in this sensitive watershed.

The plant discharges into local streams that flow into the Mississippi River, a major river system that drains much of the central United States. The Mississippi River supports a wide range of aquatic species and provides critical habitat for migratory waterfowl. Advanced treatment at this plant helps reduce nutrient loading, which is important for preventing hypoxia in the Gulf of Mexico.
