GREENFIELD WWT - Secondary Wastewater Treatment in Blaine County, Oklahoma

GREENFIELD WWT is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Blaine County, Oklahoma, United States. The plant serves a small population of 123 residents, reflecting its role in a rural community. It is situated inland, far from coastal areas, and its operations are part of the broader wastewater infrastructure in the region. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard level required by the US Clean Water Act for most municipal facilities. Secondary treatment typically involves biological processes to remove organic matter and suspended solids. The plant has a designed capacity of 37.85 units and a similar discharge volume, indicating it operates at near-full capacity for its small service area. The treated effluent is discharged into local waterways, contributing to the protection of downstream ecosystems. The plant's location in the Arkansas River basin means its discharge ultimately flows into the Arkansas River and then the Mississippi River, supporting aquatic life and water quality in these major river systems.

The plant discharges into local streams that are part of the Arkansas River watershed, which drains into the Mississippi River and eventually the Gulf of Mexico. This inland location means the effluent influences freshwater ecosystems, including habitats for fish and other aquatic species. The secondary treatment helps reduce nutrient loads, protecting downstream water quality in a region where agriculture is prevalent.
