The plant's operations help protect downstream water bodies, including the Belle Fourche River and the Cheyenne River, which are important for agriculture and wildlife.

The plant discharges into the local watershed within the Missouri River basin, which flows through the Great Plains and eventually reaches the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico. The region supports diverse aquatic life and is an important corridor for migratory birds. The semi-arid climate makes water quality management critical for sustaining local ecosystems and agricultural uses.
