ENDICOTT WWTP - Secondary Treatment Plant in Endicott, Nebraska

ENDICOTT WWTP is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located on East Roscoe Street in Endicott, Jefferson County, Nebraska. It serves a small population of 203 residents, reflecting the rural character of the community. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard level required by the U.S. Clean Water Act for municipal wastewater. With a designed capacity of 75.71 units, the facility is appropriately sized for its service area. As a small plant in the United States, it operates under a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit issued by the Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy, ensuring compliance with effluent limits. The treated effluent is discharged into a local waterway, likely a tributary of the Big Blue River basin, which ultimately drains into the Missouri River and then the Mississippi River. This downstream connection highlights the plant's role in protecting water quality in the broader Mississippi River watershed, supporting aquatic life and downstream communities.

The plant discharges into a local watercourse within the Big Blue River basin, which flows into the Missouri River and eventually the Mississippi River. This watershed supports diverse aquatic habitats and is important for regional agriculture and recreation. The plant's secondary treatment helps reduce nutrient and organic pollutant loads, protecting downstream water quality in this ecologically sensitive river system.
