DELTA STP discharges into tributaries of the Mississippi River, which flows southward through Louisiana and empties into the Gulf of Mexico. The Mississippi River basin supports diverse aquatic life and is a critical migratory corridor for fish and birds. The plant's secondary treatment helps reduce nutrient and pollutant loads, mitigating impacts on downstream ecosystems and the Gulf's hypoxic zone.
