Overview
Clermont Co Arrowhead Park WWTP in Loveland, Ohio, provides advanced wastewater treatment for a small community of 994 people, discharging treated water into the local watershed.
Clermont Co Arrowhead Park WWTP is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Loveland, Ohio, within Clermont County. The plant serves a small population of approximately 994 residents, reflecting its role in managing wastewater for a localized community in the Miami Township area. The facility is situated inland, away from coastal zones, and operates under the regulatory framework of the United States Clean Water Act, which governs wastewater discharges through the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, ensuring a high level of pollutant removal before discharge. With a designed capacity of 529.96 volume units and a similar discharge volume, the facility is sized appropriately for its service population. Advanced treatment typically includes biological nutrient removal or tertiary filtration, exceeding the secondary treatment standards required for most municipal plants under the Clean Water Act. This level of treatment helps protect water quality in the receiving environment. The treated effluent from the plant is discharged into a local water body that ultimately drains into the Ohio River basin. The Ohio River is a major tributary of the Mississippi River, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing drinking water for millions downstream. The plant's advanced treatment helps minimize nutrient loading and other pollutants, contributing to the ecological health of the watershed and downstream ecosystems.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into a local stream that flows into the Little Miami River, a designated National Scenic River known for its high water quality and biodiversity. The Little Miami River joins the Ohio River, which then flows into the Mississippi River and eventually the Gulf of Mexico. The advanced treatment at this plant helps protect the sensitive aquatic habitats of the Little Miami River, including populations of freshwater mussels and fish species, by reducing nutrient and pollutant loads.
