Eagleville WWTP - Secondary Treatment Plant in Eagleville, Missouri

Eagleville WWTP is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Eagleville, Missouri, a small community in Harrison County. The plant serves a population of 316 and is part of the region's infrastructure for managing domestic wastewater. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard level required by the US Clean Water Act for municipal facilities. With a designed capacity of 151.42 megaliters per year and an annual discharge volume of 113.56 megaliters, the plant operates below its capacity. As a US facility, it operates under an EPA NPDES permit issued by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, ensuring compliance with effluent limits. The treated effluent is discharged into a local waterway, likely a tributary of the Grand River, which flows into the Missouri River and eventually the Mississippi River. This downstream chain supports diverse aquatic life and provides water for agricultural and recreational uses in the region.

The plant discharges into a local stream that drains into the Grand River basin, part of the larger Missouri River watershed. This river system supports a variety of fish and wildlife, including species important for recreational fishing. The downstream environment is influenced by agricultural runoff, making the plant's nutrient removal important for maintaining water quality in the Grand and Missouri Rivers.
