The plant discharges into a local stream that flows into the Mohawk River, a major tributary of the Hudson River. The Hudson River estuary supports diverse aquatic life, including migratory fish species such as American shad and Atlantic sturgeon. Advanced treatment at this plant reduces nutrient loading, helping to prevent eutrophication in downstream waters and protecting the ecological health of the Hudson River watershed.
