Greenville WWTP and Sewer System - Municipal Wastewater Treatment in Ohio

The Greenville WWTP and Sewer System is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Greenville, Darke County, Ohio. It serves a population of about 13,230 people, classifying it as a medium-sized agglomeration under US EPA guidelines. The plant is situated inland, far from coastal waters, and its operations are regulated under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program. As a US facility serving a community of this scale, the plant is expected to provide at least secondary treatment in compliance with the Clean Water Act. The treatment process typically involves biological treatment to reduce organic pollutants and suspended solids. The regulatory framework ensures that effluent standards are met to protect receiving waters. The treated wastewater from the Greenville WWTP is discharged into a local water body, likely a tributary of the Great Miami River or the Stillwater River, which ultimately flows into the Ohio River and then the Mississippi River system. This drainage basin supports diverse aquatic life and provides water for downstream communities. The plant plays a key role in maintaining water quality in the region's inland watershed.

The Greenville WWTP discharges into a local stream within the Great Miami River watershed, which flows into the Ohio River and eventually the Mississippi River. This inland basin supports a variety of fish and macroinvertebrate species and is important for regional water supply. The plant's effluent must meet state and federal water quality standards to protect downstream aquatic ecosystems and recreational uses.
