GLEN ROGERS WWTP - Secondary Wastewater Treatment in Wyoming County, West Virginia

GLEN ROGERS WWTP is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Wyoming County, West Virginia, serving a small population of 350 residents. The plant operates under the regulatory framework of the US Clean Water Act, which requires secondary treatment for all publicly owned treatment works. The plant has a designed capacity of 283.91 megaliters and currently treats 151.42 megaliters of wastewater annually. As a secondary treatment facility, it uses biological processes to remove organic matter and suspended solids, meeting the national standards for discharge into surface waters. The treated effluent is discharged into a receiving water body within the Guyandotte River basin, which flows into the Ohio River and ultimately the Mississippi River system. The plant plays a key role in protecting local water quality in the Appalachian region, supporting aquatic life and downstream communities.

The plant discharges into the Guyandotte River watershed, a tributary of the Ohio River. This river system supports diverse aquatic species and provides drinking water for downstream communities. The Appalachian terrain and coal mining history in the region make water quality protection particularly important for maintaining ecological health and recreational uses.
