BOONE CO PSD POND FORK WWTP - Rock Creek, West Virginia Wastewater Treatment Plant

BOONE CO PSD POND FORK WWTP is a wastewater treatment facility located on Andrew Lane in Rock Creek, Boone County, West Virginia. It serves a small population of approximately 1,072 residents, reflecting its role in a rural community within the Appalachian region. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard level required under the U.S. Clean Water Act for municipal wastewater facilities. With a designed capacity of 757.08 cubic meters per day and a similar discharge volume, the plant operates at full capacity to manage the community's wastewater needs. The treated effluent is discharged into a local stream that flows into the Coal River, a tributary of the Kanawha River, which ultimately drains into the Ohio River and then the Mississippi River. This connection to a major river system underscores the plant's role in protecting downstream water quality in the Ohio River basin.
