Beverly Beach WWTP - Advanced Wastewater Treatment in Palm Coast, Florida

Beverly Beach WWTP is an advanced wastewater treatment facility located in Palm Coast, Flagler County, Florida. Serving a population of 800, it is a small-scale plant that supports the local community of Beverly Beach and surrounding areas. The plant is situated near the Atlantic coast, within 10 km of the ocean, which influences its operational and environmental considerations. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, ensuring a high level of effluent quality before discharge. With a designed capacity of 374.75 thousand gallons per day and a current discharge volume of 321.76 thousand gallons per day, it operates efficiently within its capacity. As a US facility, it is subject to the Clean Water Act and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting, which sets strict limits on pollutant discharges to protect water quality. The treated effluent from Beverly Beach WWTP is discharged into the coastal waters of the Atlantic Ocean, contributing to the health of the nearshore marine environment. The plant's advanced treatment helps minimize nutrient loading and other pollutants, supporting the ecological integrity of the coastal ecosystem, which includes habitats for fish, sea turtles, and migratory birds.

The plant discharges into the Atlantic Ocean near the coast of Florida, a region characterized by sandy beaches, estuaries, and diverse marine life. The nearshore waters support seagrass beds, coral reefs, and important fisheries. Advanced treatment reduces the risk of eutrophication and protects sensitive coastal habitats from excessive nutrients and contaminants.
