Green WWTP - Secondary Treatment Plant in Green, Kansas

Green WWTP is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Green, Kansas, United States. It serves a small population of 147 residents in the rural community of Clay County. The plant operates as part of the local infrastructure managed by the city. The facility provides secondary treatment, which is the standard level required by the U.S. Clean Water Act for municipal plants. With a designed capacity of 56.78 units and a current discharge volume of 53.00 units, the plant operates below its maximum capacity, indicating room for future growth. Secondary treatment typically involves biological processes to reduce organic matter and suspended solids. The treated effluent is discharged into a local water body, likely a stream or river within the Kansas River basin. The plant's location inland, far from coastal areas, means its discharge contributes to freshwater systems that eventually drain into the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico. The plant plays a role in protecting local water quality and downstream ecosystems.
