Guernsey Co Coventry Estates 2 Wastewater Treatment Plant, Cambridge, Ohio

Guernsey Co Coventry Estates 2 is a wastewater treatment facility located in Cambridge, Guernsey County, Ohio, United States. The plant serves a small population of 424 residents, reflecting its role in a rural or suburban community within the state. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants. With a designed capacity of 113.56 megaliters per year and a discharge volume matching that figure, the facility operates at full capacity. As a US plant, it is subject to the Clean Water Act and likely operates under an NPDES permit issued by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, which sets effluent limits to protect water quality. The treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that drain into the Muskingum River watershed, eventually reaching the Ohio River and the Gulf of Mexico. The plant's advanced treatment helps protect downstream aquatic ecosystems and supports the ecological health of the region's rivers and streams.

The plant discharges into the Muskingum River basin, which flows into the Ohio River and ultimately the Mississippi River and Gulf of Mexico. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life, including fish and macroinvertebrates, and is an important migratory corridor for birds. The advanced treatment level helps minimize nutrient loading and protects downstream water quality in this ecologically sensitive region.
