Overview
Bohl s WWTP is a projected wastewater treatment plant in Travis County, Texas, serving approximately 2,800 people. It will operate under U.S. EPA and state regulations.
Bohl s WWTP is a planned wastewater treatment facility located on Meurer Lane in Travis County, Texas, within the Colorado River basin. The plant is designed to serve a population of around 2,800 residents, reflecting a small-scale municipal system typical of suburban or rural communities in the region. As a projected facility, specific treatment processes and capacity details are not yet finalized. However, U.S. wastewater treatment plants of this scale are subject to the Clean Water Act and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting, which typically require secondary treatment as a minimum standard. The plant will likely incorporate conventional activated sludge or lagoon-based treatment, common for small communities in Texas. The treated effluent will discharge into local waterways that drain into the Colorado River, which flows southeast through Texas to the Gulf of Mexico. The Colorado River supports diverse aquatic life and provides water for agriculture, recreation, and municipal use downstream. Proper treatment at this plant will help protect water quality in the river and its tributaries.
Environmental context
The plant is located in the Colorado River watershed, which drains into the Gulf of Mexico. The Colorado River is a major water source for central Texas, supporting fish species such as the Guadalupe bass and providing habitat for migratory birds. Downstream ecosystems rely on maintained water quality to sustain biodiversity and recreational uses.
