BRADLEY PSD EUNICE WWTP - Eunice, West Virginia Wastewater Treatment Plant

BRADLEY PSD EUNICE WWTP is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Eunice, West Virginia, within Raleigh County. The plant serves a small population of 52 residents, reflecting its role as a local utility for a rural community in the Appalachian region. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard level required by the US Clean Water Act for most municipal facilities. It has a designed capacity of 18.93 thousand cubic meters per year and operates at full capacity based on reported discharge volume. As a small facility, it is subject to state-level NPDES permitting under EPA oversight. The treated effluent is discharged into nearby streams that flow into the Kanawha River watershed, ultimately reaching the Ohio River and Mississippi River system. This small plant plays a critical role in protecting local water quality in the headwaters of this major drainage basin.

The plant discharges into local tributaries of the Kanawha River, which flows into the Ohio River and then the Mississippi River before reaching the Gulf of Mexico. The surrounding Appalachian watershed supports diverse aquatic life, including sensitive species such as the Candy Darter and various freshwater mussels. The plant's secondary treatment helps reduce nutrient and pathogen loads in this ecologically important headwater system.
