The plant discharges into the Etowah River, a tributary of the Coosa River, which flows into the Alabama River and ultimately the Gulf of Mexico. The Etowah River supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in the region. The plant's operations help maintain water quality in this watershed, which is vital for local ecosystems and downstream communities.
