FCPWSD 3 Twin View WWTP - Franklin County, Missouri Wastewater Treatment Plant

FCPWSD 3 Twin View WWTP is a wastewater treatment facility located in Franklin County, Missouri, United States. The plant serves a small population of 80 people and operates under secondary treatment processes. It is situated inland, away from coastal areas, and is part of the municipal wastewater infrastructure for the region. The plant has a designed capacity of 71.92 million gallons per day and currently discharges 30.28 million gallons per day. As a secondary treatment facility, it meets the standard requirements under the US Clean Water Act, which mandates secondary treatment for municipal wastewater plants. The plant's operations are likely regulated by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program. The treated effluent from the plant is discharged into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Mississippi River basin. The plant plays a role in protecting water quality in the region, supporting aquatic life and downstream ecosystems. Its location in the interior of the United States means it does not directly impact coastal environments.

The plant discharges into local streams that flow into the Missouri River, a major tributary of the Mississippi River. The Mississippi River basin supports diverse aquatic life and is an important migratory corridor for fish and birds. The plant's secondary treatment helps reduce nutrient and pollutant loads, protecting downstream water quality in the Mississippi River and ultimately the Gulf of Mexico.
