Cinnaminson Township SA CS_Septics_STP - New Jersey Wastewater Treatment Plant

Cinnaminson Township SA CS_Septics_STP is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Cinnaminson Township, Burlington County, New Jersey. The plant serves a population of about 14,286 residents, placing it in the medium-agglomeration category for US wastewater infrastructure. As a US facility, the plant operates under the Clean Water Act and is subject to National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits issued by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. For a plant of this scale, secondary treatment is typically required, with additional nutrient removal if discharging to sensitive waters. The plant's treated effluent likely discharges into a tributary of the Delaware River, which flows into Delaware Bay and ultimately the Atlantic Ocean. The Delaware River watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is an important migratory corridor for fish species such as American shad and Atlantic sturgeon.

The plant's discharge likely enters a local waterway that drains into the Delaware River, a major river in the northeastern United States. The Delaware River flows through New Jersey and Pennsylvania before emptying into Delaware Bay, a large estuary that supports critical habitats for fish, birds, and other wildlife. The watershed is ecologically significant, providing drinking water for millions and sustaining diverse aquatic ecosystems. Nutrient loading from wastewater can contribute to eutrophication in the bay, making treatment standards important for water quality.
