The plant discharges into streams within the Ohio River watershed, which flows into the Mississippi River and eventually the Gulf of Mexico. The advanced treatment reduces nutrient loading, helping to mitigate eutrophication in downstream waters. The local watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is part of a larger network of rivers that are ecologically significant.
