Glen Campbell Boro STP - Secondary Wastewater Treatment in Glen Campbell, Pennsylvania

Glen Campbell Boro STP is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located on Schrader Avenue in Glen Campbell, Indiana County, Pennsylvania. Serving a small population of 466, the plant provides secondary treatment to domestic wastewater from the local community. The plant operates under the U.S. Clean Water Act, which requires secondary treatment for municipal facilities. With a designed capacity of 132.49 (thousand gallons per day) and a discharge volume of 113.56, the plant functions within its operational limits. As a small agglomeration, it is subject to state-level NPDES permitting administered by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. The treated effluent is discharged into a nearby stream that flows into the West Branch Susquehanna River, part of the larger Susquehanna River basin. This watershed ultimately drains into the Chesapeake Bay, supporting diverse aquatic life and contributing to the bay's ecological health. The plant's secondary treatment helps reduce nutrient and pollutant loads to this sensitive estuary.

The plant discharges into a tributary of the West Branch Susquehanna River, which flows into the Susquehanna River and eventually reaches the Chesapeake Bay. The Chesapeake Bay is a large estuary that supports diverse aquatic species and is a critical habitat for migratory birds. Secondary treatment at this plant helps control nutrient pollution, which is a key concern for the bay's water quality and ecosystem health.
