DANVILLE PERRYVILLE STP - Boyle County, Kentucky Wastewater Treatment Plant

DANVILLE PERRYVILLE STP is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Boyle County, Kentucky, United States. The plant serves a small population of 652 residents and operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Clean Water Act, which requires secondary treatment for all publicly owned treatment works. The plant has a designed capacity of 529.96 thousand cubic meters per year and currently treats 378.54 thousand cubic meters annually. As a secondary treatment facility, it provides biological treatment to reduce organic matter and suspended solids before discharge. The treated effluent is discharged into local streams that drain into the Kentucky River basin, ultimately reaching the Ohio River and Mississippi River system. The plant plays a role in protecting water quality in this inland watershed, supporting aquatic life and downstream uses.

The plant discharges into tributaries of the Kentucky River, which flows into the Ohio River and then the Mississippi River. This watershed supports diverse aquatic ecosystems and provides drinking water for downstream communities. The region's karst topography can make groundwater vulnerable to contamination, emphasizing the importance of proper wastewater treatment.
