Clermont Co Felicity WWTP - Advanced Wastewater Treatment in Felicity, Ohio

Clermont Co Felicity WWTP is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located at 771 Prather Road in Felicity, Ohio, within Clermont County. The plant serves a population of approximately 1,787 residents, classifying it as a small-scale treatment facility in the rural setting of southwestern Ohio. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, exceeding the secondary treatment standard required by the U.S. Clean Water Act. With a designed capacity of 946.35 cubic meters per day and an actual discharge volume of 378.54 cubic meters per day, the facility operates well below its capacity, indicating room for future growth. As a U.S. facility, it operates under an EPA National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit issued by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, which sets effluent limits to protect water quality. The treated effluent is discharged into a local receiving water body that ultimately drains into the Ohio River, a major tributary of the Mississippi River system. The plant's advanced treatment helps protect downstream aquatic ecosystems and supports the ecological health of the Ohio River basin, which provides habitat for diverse fish and wildlife species.

The plant discharges into a local stream that flows into the Ohio River, which then joins the Mississippi River before reaching the Gulf of Mexico. The Ohio River watershed supports diverse aquatic life, including several species of freshwater mussels and fish. Advanced treatment at this plant helps reduce nutrient loading and protects downstream water quality in this ecologically significant river system.
