Crawford Co Linlare Village Wastewater Treatment Plant, Crawford County, Ohio

Crawford Co Linlare Village is a wastewater treatment plant located in Liberty Township, Crawford County, Ohio, United States. The facility serves a small population of 40 residents, reflecting its role in a rural or suburban setting. The plant is situated inland, away from coastal areas, and operates under the regulatory framework of the US Clean Water Act. The plant provides advanced treatment, which goes beyond the secondary treatment standard typically required for municipal facilities. Advanced treatment processes remove nutrients and other pollutants to a higher degree, ensuring that the discharged water meets stringent quality standards. The plant has a designed capacity of 94.64 cubic meters per day and currently discharges 37.85 cubic meters per day, indicating ample capacity for future growth. The treated effluent is released into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Ohio River basin. This water body supports diverse aquatic life and is an important resource for communities downstream. By employing advanced treatment, the plant helps protect the ecological health of the receiving waters and contributes to the overall water quality of the region.

The plant discharges into the local watershed within the Ohio River basin, which flows into the Mississippi River and eventually the Gulf of Mexico. This inland location supports a mix of agricultural and natural landscapes, and the advanced treatment helps minimize nutrient loading that could contribute to downstream algal blooms and hypoxia in the Gulf.
