CRAMER LAGOON Wastewater Treatment Plant, Burris, South Carolina

CRAMER LAGOON is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located on Hamby Road in Burris, Anderson County, South Carolina. The plant serves a small community of approximately 1,200 residents and operates as part of the region's water infrastructure. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard level required by the US Clean Water Act for most municipal facilities. Secondary treatment typically involves biological processes to reduce organic matter and suspended solids. The plant reports a discharge volume of 511.03 units, reflecting its scale for a small agglomeration. Treated effluent from the plant is discharged into local streams that drain into the Savannah River basin, ultimately reaching the Atlantic Ocean. The facility plays a role in protecting downstream water quality in a region characterized by mixed agricultural and residential land use.

The plant discharges into tributaries of the Savannah River, which flows southeast to the Atlantic Ocean near Savannah, Georgia. The watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is an important corridor for migratory fish species. The facility's secondary treatment helps reduce nutrient loads that could otherwise contribute to eutrophication in downstream waters.
